Background Information Hobby- a leisure-time interest or activity taken up primarily for pleasure. A hobby may involve the development of intricate knowledge of /or capability in a special field. When people are asked why they take up a hobby, they will give different reasons. Some feel that they should do something useful in their spare time. Some talk about self-improvement. Some think that they should learn something new. The most popular answer of all is that a hobby provides an opportunity to do something absolutely different from ones usual work. But the most convincing reply is that the person simply does it for pleasure. There may be hundreds, or even thousands of different kinds of hobbies. There are indoor hobbies and outdoor hobbies. Sports are one of the popular forms of recreation. Swimming, surfing, sailing, diving are also very popular. Some people like gardening. Indoor hobbies are even more varied. Home games, such as playing cards, chess, and checkers, and today, computer games can give you fun. Women like to do cooking or dress-making. The most common hobby is collecting, i.e. finding as many things of one kind as possible. Some people collect antiques. Others collect stamps or coins, bottles or bottle caps, stuffed animals, postcards, badges, match boxes, in fact, anything that might be interesting to collect. Nowadays, another hobby which is more and more popular is “do-it-yourself” (DIY). People like to buy ready-made parts and bring them home and do it themselves. This may prove challenging sometimes. No matter what your hobby may be, it gives you pleasure in your spare time. IV.
