Hobby is a particular and interesting habit. Hobby is necessary because it help
and get rid of stress from study and work. I also have a hobby. My hobby is reading. It started
when I was a little boy. As soon as I could learn to read, I often asked my parents to buy me
picture books and fairy tales. Up to now, I have read story books, magazines, newspapers and
any kind of material that I find interesting, especially knowledgeable books in my free time. I
absolutely love reading.
Reading enables me to learn about so many things that I do not know. I can learn about
how people lived in bygone days, the wonders of the world, space travel, human achievements,
huge whales, tiny viruses and other fascinating things of our world. Reading helps me discover
new things and widen my knowledge. Books provide me with so much information and many
facts. They have certainly helped me in my daily life. I am better aware of coping with living.
Libraries are the source from which I get the books I need. My relatives and my friends
also give me books on special occasions. I will certainly continue my reading hobby. Beside
being more informed about the world, I also spend my time profitably. It is indeed a good
hobby.
