Suggested Answer

There are many different reasons why people take up a hobby, but everyone benefits from it. In my opinion, it is important for everyone to have a hobby for a number of reasons.

Firstly, a hobby can stop you from feeling stressed. For example, the time you spend on your hobby allows you to use your mind creatively. This means that you feel relaxed.

In addition, hobbies are a great way to learn new skills. For instance, you may discover a hidden talent you had for making things. The more activities people discover they can do, the more confidence they will have in themselves, too.

On the other hand, some people say that hobbies are a waste of time. They believe that certain hobbies, such as stamp collecting and model making, are only for people who do not have any friends whereas others are too expensive to take up.

All in all, I would say that having a hobby is very beneficial. Everyone can find a hobby which interests them and can make them feel relaxed and creative.
