A hobby is a favourite pastime of a person. Hobbies differ like tastes. If you have chosen a hobby to your liking, lucky you are: you have made your life more interesting.
Numerous hobbies can be subdivided into four large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things, and learning things.
The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things. It includes a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to travelling and from chess to volleyball. Gardening is one of the oldest man’s hobbies, especially in some countries (Britain, for example). A relatively new hobby which is becoming more popular is computer games.
Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculpture, designing costumes, and handicrafts. Some hobbyists write music. Two of the most famous hobby painters were President Eisenhower and Sir Winston Churchill.
Almost everyone collects something at some period in his life: stamps, coins, matchboxes, books, records, postcards,, toys, watches. Some collections have no real value. Others become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and galleries. Many world-famous collections started in a small way with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect paintings, rare books and other art objects. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that others might take pleasure in seeing them.
No matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always has the opportunity of learning from it. By reading about the things he is interested in, he is adding to what he knows. Learning things can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby.
Once our class teacher decided to give us an excursion to our state museum of local lore, located in the very center of our city. My classmate friends and I thought it would be very boring, but when we got there, we were pleasantly surprised how beautiful it was.
The tour guide was a pretty young woman with a beautiful voice. She told a lot of interesting events and facts from the past life of our ancestors.
The museum had several rooms, each of which contained paintings, chairs, tables, clothes from different periods of time in our history. I really liked the ancient weapons and daggers, which were decorated with ancient stones. In the museum, all the exhibits are conveniently arranged, each has a nameplate, and some even have their own history.
After the guide took us through all the halls and told us everything he wanted about the museum, we were allowed to wander around it on our own. I could very closely see the ancient tools of labor, knightly armor, clay jugs, stuffed birds and animals. All these expositions seemed to be alive, it just seemed that time had stopped a little.
A trip to the museum left in my head an indelible pleasant impression of my past life. This excursion sparked my interest in history. For a while, I even wanted to become a historian or archaeologist.
