Leisure time activities

Some people say that it is very important for everybody to have a hobby. Others do nothing but watch TV or listen to music in their free time. Our lives would be hard without rest and recreation. People have quite different ideas of how to spend their free time. For some of them the only way to relax is watching TV or drinking beer. But other people use their spare time getting maximum benefit from it. I strongly feel that hobbies make our lives much more interesting. There are different kinds of hobbies such as reading, cooking, collecting, playing a musical instrument, painting, photography, dancing, travelling, sports and many others. So you can always find an exciting activity which you will certainly like. Personally, I am fond of camping. To my mind, it is a great opportunity to get away from town life. What is more, camping is a cheap way to rest, to improve your health, to train yourself physically and to enjoy nature. Nevertheless, quite a lot of people have no hobby. Most of them say that they are too busy or too tired to do anything in their free time. In general, having a hobby is very important for everybody because it is a kind of self-expression and the way to understand other people and the whole world. A hobby makes you stronger physically and mentally, helps you escape from reality, improve your knowledge, broaden your mind, develop your skills and gain a better understanding of how the world works.
