People may have many different kinds of hobbies during their lifetime. When we are very young, we usually play with dolls or toys. When we get older, we may not like playing with them. Some kids go out for a sport like football or skating. Kids spend a lot of time developing a hobby and most children put lots of energy into it. Some other children may get interested in reading, painting, stamp collecting, playing the piano or the violin. Some people may change their interests every year.
Some of the most popular hobbies include watching TV or videos, reading books, magazines and newspapers, singing and listening to music. Many people like to join sports clubs. Now here are some questions for you. What’s a hobby? Why do we need hobbies? The main goal of a hobby is to give you a break from your work or school.

Everybody has their own hobbies—some are fond of collecting stamps, coins, etc., some like swimming, and there are some who like reading or music—all these are good hobbies.
Nowadays, most teenagers are crazy about hit songs. From those songs we can learn
many phrases, which we cannot find in books. Although teenagers like those songs very much, adults often dislike them. And they think that if teens indulge (沉迷) themselves with pop music, it will be a waste both of time and money. Therefore, it is not considered to be a good hobby.
The worst hobbies of all are smoking and gambling. Smoking harms our bodies. Some men like to smoke in public places, and they don’t care about other people’s feelings. Gambling may make you lose everything. You may lose your temper, money and friendship. Friendship is the thing that money can’t buy. To lose a friend is easy but to build up a friendship is hard.
So, why don’t we do things that can’t hurt others and are worthwhile to us? Some good hobbies, like stamp collecting and reading, can help us broaden our knowledge. Music can make us happy, and sports can keep us in good physical condition. So why not take up the good and give up the bad?
