A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his free time. Hobbyists keep pets,climb mountains,grow flowers and swim. Hobbyists also paint pictures,attend concerts and play musical instruments. They collect everything from books to butterflies,and from shells to stamps.

People have hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment,friendship,knowledge,and relaxation. Sometimes they even make some money by following a hobby. Hobbies help people relax after hard work,and provide a balance between work and play. Hobbies also offer interesting activities for persons who have retired (退休). Anyone,rich or poor,old or young,sick or well,can follow an interesting hobby.

Hobbies can help a person's mental and physical health. Doctors have found that hobbies are valuable in helping patients recover from physical or mental illness.
