Why a hobby is so important?

Is a hobby important? Yes, it is. I think a hobby is very important to everyone. A good hobby can bring us various benefits that we can’t countless. Let me introduce it in the following below.

First of all, having a hobby that we enjoy bring us joy and enriches our lives. It helps to relieve stress by keeping you engaged in something you enjoy. For example, painting is my hobby that my favorive I feel relax when I am painting, I always use painting as a way of decompression.

Secondly, having a hobby can help you social life and create a bond with others. A hobby is something that you can frequently enjoy with other people. Whether you join a club, play in a league, or just gift other with the fruit of your labor, a hobby is a great way to meet and get closer to people who have the same interest as you do.

Thirdly, it increase your confidence and self-esteem. Any activity that you can excel in is an opportunity for you to build your confidence and develop pride in your accomplishments. May is one of my friends that she has a bit autistic. But she like singing and she has a beautiful singing voice. Once

a time, we go to sing karaoke together. That makes me amazing is she can hold the microphone all night. Singing make she so many charming.

Actually, a hobby can bring you a lot of good benefits that I can’t list here. Only I can said is hope you can find your favorite. I guarantee you will be very glad you did.

Hobby is a thing that you enjoy to do in your free time. There are different kinds of hobbies, like playing sports, singing, hiking and so on. Different people have different hobbies. We all know that having a hobby is important for us. However, what makes it so important? Having a hobby helps to relieve stress. The pace in Hong Kong is fast and we are all busy with our everyday life. It is hard for us to have work-life balance. For me, I love camping very much. When I have free time, I would like to go camping with my friends. The time I stay in the campsites is much greater than that at home. The reason why I love camping is that it helps me to take a break from my busy work life and make me feel relaxed.

Additionally, having a hobby makes our life become more meaningful. It acts as a driving force to upgrade ourselves and to become better self. For example, I love camping and I joined different programmes to improve my skills in this area, like the use of map or compass. Hobby provides us with the energy to learn and improve. When we have more knowledge and skills, our self-esteem and self-confidence can also be improved.

What is more, hobby makes friends. When people who share the same hobby group together, a new social group can be formed. For example, I met lots of good friends who love hiking and camping after joining the hiking programmes. We still go camping together even the programme ended. Sharing the same hobby with others helps to create the social bonding.

To conclude, having a good hobby is important for us in different aspects, like social, physical and mental health.

Cycling has been a long-time hobby which produces both an enjoyable activity which involves being outdoors and away from the less beneficial pursuits such as television and compute.

Firstly, It’s a vigorous interest that not just the young and healthy can participate but kids as young as toddlers and the elderly as well. In addition, cycling fits into a person’s lifestyle easier than many other physical activities because it can be used practically, to go from one place to another unlike. It’s easier on the body’s joints than jogging while getting from point “A” to point “B” much quicker and with less effort. Chief among its numerous benefits, cycling is good for health, both physical and mental as well as good for the environment.

Secondly, person health benefits of cycling is that it strengthens the heart, develops endurance and improves circulation which reduces the risks from coronary heart illnesses. Muscles are strengthened and toned from cycling particularly those located below the waistline such as the thighs, buttocks and legs.  Other than that,  cycling can burns a great deal of calories especially if they are riding a good distance or at a moderate to fast pace. Another benefit is that, cycling also has the benefit of increasing a person's metabolism, their inner engine, even after the ride is finished. Reducing body weight lessens the strain of joints making cycling a duel benefit for those who suffer from weakened knees.

Thirdly, eye-hand coordination is greatly enhanced by cycling. Stabilizing the body's weight while moving both legs in a circular motion and using both hands to steer the bike enhance coordination skills. Improving coordination improves agility, athleticism and reaction time, useful in everyday tasks, especially helpful as a person age. It's a fun way to get healthy and stay healthy while adding years to your life.

Additionally, cycling is easy and flexible to start up. It is suitable for any people . You may choose to cycling alone and cycling flexibly at any time available to you when you know how to balance and pay attention to safety. So this is an important reason that I love cycling.

Hobbies is very important to everyone.  I think a good hobby can release stress and enrich out lives.  It gives us something fun to do during out leisure time and provides us opportunity to learn new skills.  For me, my hobby is gardening.  It is because plants and people are closely related.  Besides used as food, plants are also used in many different occasions and purposes such as gift, medicines, toys, makeup, art, etc.  The multi-purpose nature of plants attracts me so much.

Firstly, plants can help us to relax and relief stress.  We suffer from carious pressure in out daily life and workplace.  For example, we need to fight for different deadlines.  We also need to liaise with different parties to make out life smooth.  Therefore, stress management is important for out mental well-beings.  We need to learn ways to release stress and keep positive.  Enjoying the beauty of flowers can make us stop thinking, but nurturing out peaceful mind.

Secondly, gardening inspires us to respect and treasure life.  It takes a long time from seeding to harvest.  There are many uncontrollable factors that lead to a plant wilting.  For example, insufficient or excessive sunshine, nutrition and watering.  Pest is another main risk.  However, some plants are strong and resistance to such risks.  They struggle to survive even in a bad environment.  However, some people are easy to give up.  Some people might think about committing suicide when encountering great problems.  Gardening reminds me of keeping positive.

Thirdly, gardening reminds me the individuality.  Every plant has its own characteristics.  Different plants need different soil amount of water and even different fertilizers.  We need to respect their differences and handle them with care.

In conclusion, gardening is an amazing activity.  It makes us relax and learn to respect life and individuality.

Why a hobby is important?  I think hobby is important because it can reduce stress, broaden social circles and keep fit. Running is a great example to explain, let me talk about it as follow.

First of all, in many research, it has been found that exercise can reduce stress and advance our physical health, it is mainly related to our happy hormone. It will make people feel relax and happy. When we reach a certain level of exercise, the body will create the hormone which can help us reduce stress and bad emotions.

Second, having a hobby can widen our social circle.  When people have the same hobby, it’s easy for them to work together, they have common topics, it helps them to develop their relationship easily. For running, people may team up training in somewhere, it make them have more contact with others.

Finally, running works all the body's major muscle groups, it is improve people’s heart and lung function which can burn fat effectively. From a research, running over 30 minutes can reduce 300 kcal. There are many examples showing running is a good way to keep fit, it helps you to keep your body in a good shape.

All in all, running is a healthy way of exercise and it is not easy to be injured. Building a good hobby can reduce your stress, people can make more friends from a hobby too. It is a good way to keep your body fit as well.

Is the Internet advantageous? I don't think so.

Nowadays, the Internet is a trend. Everything in our daily life can rely on the Internet as a tool.However, just like this, it triggers a lazy word of Internet users, doing everything depends on the Internet, thus affecting many traditional industries.

Tfirst of all，ake Taobao, Tianmao and Jingdong for example. They are electronic commerce. Everyone thinks that the traditional influence of Electronic Commerce on retail industry is influenced by the retail industry. But it is not only the retail industry, but also the manufacturing industry and the whole consumer ecosphere.

E-commerce guides users to shop online, however, many offline retailers, because of various rents, human and material costs are limited commodity prices, but only the nearby customers are served, which ultimately leads to insufficient income. However, usually the products of these retailers come from manufacturers who do not do e-commerce, or whose e business is relatively poor, are still relying on traditional livelihoods. If the manufacturer or retailer who sells the goods in Italy has a bad business, they will have a hard time to produce, so the productivity must be reduced. The way to reduce productivity or cost is to lay off employees or to work hard on the cost of the products. Therefore, the inferior products will gradually come out. However, the cost and price of the inferior products will be low, just like already. After a mature platform, they can't get in, and these manufacturers will turn to platforms like Pingduo, because they have many users and are new, and their management is not as strict as that of Jingdong and Alibaba.

Therefore, the ultimate commodity will still flow into the market, because the domestic consumer market has always been polarized.

Dear Ann!

Last letter asked me what hobbies？I have many hobbies.such as watching TV, reading,singing, swimming .But swimming is my favorite hobby.

I like swimming best for three reasons.

First of all,  Swimming is really very interesting .If you swim in the water, you will look like a lovely fish . I often swim in the

swimming pool with my friends.Great fun. .Im sure you will feel very happy.

Afterwards swimming keeps me healthy. Theres no doubt that people who swim a lot have stronger bodies than those who dont. Swimming contributes to a powerful lung and also reduces the risk of heart attacks. Thanks to swimming, I seldom get sick in the past few years.

Besides, swimming can keep me fit. Having a slim figure is the dream of all girls. Swimming is an effective way to help us lose unnecessary weight. Take me for example, last summer, I kept swimming for 3 days a week; after two months, Ive lost 5kg weight！

All in all, swimming not only keeps me healthy, but also provides me a slim figure, Therefore, of all the sports activities I like swimming best.

I enjoy my life in school very much. Reading books, listening to music and doing sports are very helpful to my health and my studies.

See you!

Koey!

I heard that you want to learn a new sport, have you ever played boxing before ? I highly suggest you to play boxing,  I would introduce boxing with four main reasons below.

First, regarding your social life, boxing is that it almost always involves mor than one person, then playing boxing can help you make new friends. There are many group practices during the lesson, such as doing pair work with the pads, you would have chance to interact and communicate with new partners. So, boxing can give advantages to your social life and you will be motivated as well.

Second, for physical health, playing boxing can burns a lot of calories, it can make you be fitter and slimmer, and further have a healthier and stronger body. Do you know playing box can burns more calories than running? It is very work in keep fit.

Third, in safety aspect, in the boxing class you can learn more about self defence. You know you look so pretty, there may be some bad guys who want to make fun with you. If you learn boxing, you will know how to protect youself, and be no more afraid of the bad guy.

Fourth, playing boxing is a good way to reduce pressure. I understand you may have pressure caused from your job, but playing boxing is a great outlet for stress. When you’re pushing yourself through a couple minutes of high-intensity punching or kicking, you don’t have much mental power left to worry about how awful your job is.

Therefore, it is convinced that you will be beneficial a lot  from boxing. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

What activities can be introduced to students? That's swimming, because swimming has many advantages?

First of all, it can make students have a better constitution. Frequent swimming can improve their resistance. When swimming, water can take away a large part of the calories of people. With the consumption of exercise, it can promote people's ability to regulate body temperature, thus speeding up metabolism, and thus achieving the effect of physical fitness!

Second, it helps to relieve the pressure of students. Because of the fluidity of water, when people swim in the water, water can massage the skin and relax the body, thus playing the role of relaxation and decompression.

Third, swimming can improve students'immunity. Swimming is a kind of systemic exercise. In the process of swimming, people use almost all the joint muscles, so that all the joints can be exercised, so as to effectively improve physical fitness and enhance immunity.

Fourth, swimming can consume fat and prevent obesity among students.

Swimming is a full-body aerobic exercise, many people will feel very tired after swimming because of the resistance of water, but formally because of this, it can help us to consume fat, but also can strengthen muscles. When swimming, you will feel the temperature is lower than normal temperature, which can also promote fat consumption. Persistence in swimming can strengthen the body.

Because swimming can improve physical fitness, reduce stress, improve immunity and prevent obesity, swimming is a very suitable sport for students.

Dear Ann,

I want to introduce to how important of developing a hobby with you. In recent years,going to gym after work is most people’ choice,because they need to be keep fit.

Physically, taking aerobic exercise advances our physical health and reduces our agony. It promotes our heart and lung function by increasing their expansion and contraction, which is beneficial for resisting pressure from longtime labor or extra-strength work.

And it improves fat consumption and metabolism, which lay a solid foundation for disease prevention. Meanwhile, it helps keep our body in a good shape by consuming the overfull calories.

Hence, for the wellbeing of body and mind, let us have some aerobic exercise together.
Regular exercisers are also more pleased with their appearance, and are
often more confident as a result.

Perhaps the best thing about exercise, though, is its social side.  It can be done with friends, and is a great way to meet people.

So let’s gym together,we can meet at weekends and work out 1 hour. Then we can go to cafe enjoy the afternoon tea. I uselly do it  twice a week, that makes me happy and good body shape.

Best regards
Sandy

Dear Ann,

Let me introduce about my hobbies. I have many hobbies, listening to music, playing sports, drinking alcohol and doing exciting things. I can't explain all of them, so I'd like to focus on thrilling, exciting things.
Every winter vacation, I go to ski resort to do snowboarding with my friends. I started it when I wan seventeen. At first, I fell over so many times, and I felt so exhausted. However after just 1 day, I learned to do that. Snowboarding looks difficult, in fact it's difficult, but you can do after practice for 1 day. So if you have never done snowboarding, I strongly recommend you to do. It's so exciting and fun.

Regards,

Whether you are out shooting hoops by yourself, playing a game of pick-up basketball or on an elite competitive team, basketball is a great way to get fit and stay in shape. In fact, even President Barack Obama plays the game on a daily basis as part of his fitness regimen. Below, we've listed a few reasons why playing the game of basketball could help you stay healthy and fit along with links to a few basketball essentials you may need.

Here are the Top 10 from Health Fitness Revolution and author of the book ReSYNC Your Life Samir Becic:

Burns calories: Running, jumping and quick lateral movements done in basketball provide a significant amount of aerobic exercise and can burn a great deal of calories. For each hour of competitive basketball, a 165-pound person can expect to burn around 600 calories, while a 250-pound person can burn up to 900 calories.

Great for cardiovascular health: Basketball can help you develop cardiovascular endurance, depending on how many times play stops. Keep moving and you'll keep your heart rate up. Building endurance can help keep your heart healthy, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke later in life.

Develops concentration and self-discipline: Like every other sport, basketball has rules to follow, and breaking them can result in penalties not just for you, but for your team. Practicing self-discipline helps one become more competitive yet fair and clean in their game and focused in succeeding.

Builds bone strength: Jumping and other physical demands of basketball help develop and improve bone health. The stronger your bones, the less likely they are to break. Weight-bearing physical activity causes new bone tissue to form, making bones stronger. Bones and muscles both become stronger when muscles push and tug against bones during physical activity.

Better motor skills and coordination: Free-throw shooting and jump-shooting are particularly helpful for training hand-eye coordination. Rebounding missed shots is another skill that requires a great degree of full-body coordination. The third basic basketball skill, dribbling, requires a finer degree of coordination. When first learning basketball, dribbling trains the hand-eye coordination; once that skilled is mastered, a player will no longer look at the ball while dribbling and the skill will become a pure motor coordination task.

Strength training: Basketball provides an excellent full-body workout and can help develop useful, lean muscle. In this physically intensive contact sport, basketball players are highly reliant on effective body positioning and the ability to maintain that position when an opponent is pushing against him. Playing good defensive basketball can develop your deltoids, traps, neck, lower back and core muscles. Strong legs aid in shooting and running, while the finer movements such as dribbling and shooting are good for strengthening your arms, wrist flexors and hand muscles.

Improves spatial awareness: Spatial awareness is knowing where your body is in space and time. Ever wonder why a cat always lands on its feet? Body awareness. It helps keep you in balance.

Mental development: Basketball requires a wide range of physical skills, but it is also a fast-paced mental game. Research on the mental aspects of basketball has revealed that players must develop a great deal of attention to quickly and accurately process what's happening on the court and make effective decisions with the ball and on defense. During a fast-paced game, you must train yourself to constantly observe your teammates and opponents and evaluate what course of action to take in response to their actions. This can translate to helping you make quick decisions on the job and in other real-life situations.

Reduces stress and boosts the immune system: Decreasing your stress will help you focus and have more energy to complete tasks. Playing basketball and other sports helps reduce stress and gives players the opportunity to socialize. People who are social are less likely to have depression, and also tend to have a stronger immune system.

Enhances confidence: Basketball truly improves anyone's confidence. Making good shots and being a part of a good team can increase your self-esteem and help gain more confidence. A confident person has more faith in his or her skills and can face life with a better disposition.

Dear Ann,
How are you? I heard Tommy said that you feel very distressed about your job. I want to recommend an activity to you and your students. That activity can let your stress ‘Get out’. That is called Dodgeball. Do you remember Dodgeball is our childhood activity?
Dodgeball refers to a collection of team sports in which players on two teams try to throw balls at each other while avoiding being hit themselves. This activity is one of a great way to build teamwork. When we play the game, we need to think about how can we get win in the competition with the teammates.
Dodgeball is fun and upliftings. You can feel a bad day slip away bit by bit with every throw. Also, it’s fun! Laughter is the best stress reliever, so get on the court, have fun and laugh out loud.
In addition to playing basketball or playing football, the dodgeball is also can stay healthy and fit. Dodgeball can constitute a form of interval training, with players running for brief periods of time.
If you interested in dodgeball, I invite you to participate in the competition held in the school next Saturday.

Best regards,
Sally

Dear Ann,

Knowing that you want to start a new sport, I would like to introduce you running which is a sport I like most.  I feel free when I am running. There are many advantages for running such as needing only affordable resources, helping you staying fit, making friends, easy and flexible to start up.

Firstly, running needs only affordable resources. Basically, you just need a pair of running shoes, unlike other activities that may need you to pay rents of place. Optionally you can choose to run for free at public playgrounds or somewhere near home. Moreover you may pay a gym room to run indoor or apply charity marathon.

Secondly, running can help burning fat and keeping a strong heart to make us staying fit.  I always feel stress released after I run and sweat.

Thirdly, you can run with your friends to maintain friendship. From my experience, while I run in same place for a long time, I usually meet familiar faces that makes me happy.  Moreover, through competition or joining some running groups that can help making new friends to share experience.

Additionally, running is easy and flexible to start up. It is suitable for any people at any time and any place. You may choose to run alone and run flexibly at any time available to you. So this is an important reason that I love this sport.

I hope that you will like running and I can run with you in near future.

Yours
Chris

Let me introduced a hobby why it is important to everyone. I like to suggest to play badminton.I love this hobby very mush.
Why I choose this hobby?First,social networks.You’ll need at least one opponent, but you can also play with a teammate and two other opponents. The social interactions of a game will result in positive feelings after a session on the court. Joining a game can also help you become part of a community.
Second,develops athleticism.The fast-paced nature of the game increases your speed and improves your reflexes. Intelligence is also a factor since players must know how to deceive their opponents in every shot.
Third,increased muscle tone.Playing badminton builds and tones the quads, glutes, calves and hamstrings. In addition, your core muscles, arm and back muscles get a workout as well.
Finally,weight loss.Badminton can also help us with weight control because of its fat-burning and metabolism boosting qualities. Combined with proper diet, optimal weight loss may be achieved.
Please send me your updates and I look forward to see you soon.

Dear Ann

I would like to suggest playing football for you.

I believe football is one of the most rewarding sports in the world. Why do I think? because football has high popularity and many benefits.
Firstly. train up body.Participating in football-like any sport provides many health benefits for players. It's a physically demanding game that provides an opportunity for players to improve their speed, agility, strength, hand- eye coordination and overall cardiovascular endurance.

Second,It can set up your camaraderie. The friendship built amongst a team of football players is unlike any other sport due to the high volume of teammates. With dozens of players working toward one common goal, the bond many people develop with each other is priceless. This camaraderie is a lifelong benefit for players, as they will appreciate the importance of developing close relationships with others

Finally, football is truly a team game. With 11 players on each side of the ball, everyone is counted on to play their individual role. There's a tremendous amount of accountability required from each player to do a specific job on every play. This teamwork helps people become accustomed to working with others, a skill that is required in almost every profession

I hope you can develop your hobby and broaden your social network.

Best wishes
Chirs
