My hobby

Hobby is a person’s favourite occupation, something that he likes doing in his free time. Is it necessary for a person to have a hobby? I think so. It is very important for us to do what we are really interested in and what we are good at. It lets us show our worth and become aware of the importance and usefulness of our life.

 It’s clear that people usually choose hobbies according to their interests. That’s why there’re so many ways of spending leisure time. Many people are fond of collecting things. They collect stamps, postcards, badgers, toys, coins, cassettes and CDs. I’ve a friend collecting toy pigs. She has already got about 150 specimens in her collection.

As far as my interests are concerned, my favourite occupation is drawing. In my early childhood I could be sitting for hours at a stretch filling my albums with fancy flowers, animals, people and houses. I drew on everything (including wallpaper, furniture, sand and asphalt) and with everything (with pencils, felt-pens, water-colors, chalks and slicks on the sand or ground). My room is full of my drawings. There’re cartoon characters, faces of my friends, parents and teachers, scenery sketches in it. I used to dream of becoming a painter, but I see no sense now in combining career and hobby. It simply became my favourite activity in my leisure time and is helping me to relax.

 My younger brother, on the opposite, is hoping to make his computer hobby his future profession. Playing computer games he became seriously interested in computers and now he uses a computer in his everyday life. It’s on the PC that he usually writes his school reports, listens to CDs and invents programs and quests of computer games. His choice is sure to be both interesting and useful. But in my opinion, having an interesting profession as well as an interesting hobby makes our life twice more exciting.
