Hobbies are very important to a person. Without having any hobbies, life won’t be as colorful as it should be.

I have a number of hobbies, such as collecting stamps, playing musical instruments(乐器), reading, and doing sports. When I am free, I will spend time on my hobbies. When I am in a blue mood(情绪低落), I will also do my hobbies to cheer myself up.

Hobbies can help us improve our moods. Many hobbies require you to put your heart in them. For example, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over in order to perform(表演) good music. After a period(一段时期) if you still enjoy it, gradually(逐渐地) it will become a hobby of yours. But remember, a hobby is like gold under the ground; no hobby will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. If you can treat study as one of your hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable. I hope all of you can find your own hobbies and also have fun from them.
