(Adapted from https://online.kettering.edu/news/2019/04/15/why-hobbies-are-important) I. Doing things we enjoy provides a variety of benefits, but it is difficult for us to have time to engage in a hobby. Most of people’s time is spent on school, family, religious, and community obligations, so we leave little room for the things we are passionate about. Obviously, engaging in hobbies can be a mental escape, help us improve our skills, or just provide an opportunity to socialise with others. Hobbies are a great way to break away from the monotony of daily schedules. Also, having a hobby is considered a stress reliever. Benefits of different hobbies can vary. For example, doing sports regularly is likely to be clearly beneficial since it not only increases both your heart rate and brain function but also leads to lower blood pressure, weight loss, building muscle, strengthening bones, and an overall increase in energy. In addition, carving out time for leisure activities is an easy way to improve your mental health by making you relaxed and taking your mind off all of the more pressing concerns of student life. Some people enjoy hobbies which give them the opportunity to improve their confidence level, boost their self-esteem, and improve their quality of life. For all mentioned reasons, everyone should immediately take up a sport or do what you are fond of. 1. A. B. C. D. 2. A. B. C. D. 3. A. B. C. D.
