People in society have different hobbies or pastimes to enjoy themselves in their leisure (free) time. Some people, for example, like to play games, some like to go for a walk, some like to watch films, and so on.
Good hobbies or pastimes can help us to improve the body and the mind. For the improvement of the body and health, we may have the hobbies of playing games outside on playgrounds. We can also have the hobbies of swimming, running, walking over long distances, and so on. Morning and evening walk every day give a lot of exercise to the body. Gardening keeps us in contact with nature and fresh air and makes us active.
For the improvement of the mind, we can have hobbies like reading good and useful books, visiting historical places, watching films which increase (add to) our knowledge of the sciences and the arts. The hobby of reading books on the sciences, history and general knowledge is of much use. So the hobby of reading newspapers every day is of great benefit.
Some harmful hobbies are playing cards for a long time, watching all manner of films very often, listening to bad films songs, reading bad books, and so on. We enjoy these hobbies while sitting and cannot take exercise. Bad films and writings harm our thinking and character.
No doubt hobbies help us to pass our free time happily (without being bored) and make us forget all our troubles, worries and problems. Some hobbies increase our knowledge as well as entertain us, For example, through writing letters to pen friends in other cities or foreign countries, we learn about other places. We feel happy while informing others about our city, village or country. Stamp collecting is another such hobby. Through it, we.come to know about different countries and cultures and enjoy exchanging stamps.
Hobbies make life charming and add to our happiness. They bring us new friends and make us social.
