“Hobbies” essay Some people believe that hobbies need to be difficult to be enjoyable. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Some hobbies are relatively easy, while others present more of a challenge. Personally, I believe that both
types of hobby can be fun, and I therefore disagree with the statement that hobbies need to be difficult in
order to be enjoyable.
On the one hand, many people enjoy easy hobbies. One example of an activity that is easy for most people
is swimming. This hobby requires very little equipment, it is simple to learn, and it is inexpensive. I
remember learning to swim at my local swimming pool when I was a child, and it never felt like a
demanding or challenging experience. Another hobby that I find easy and fun is photography. In my
opinion, anyone can take interesting pictures without knowing too much about the technicalities of
operating a camera. Despite being straightforward, taking photos is a satisfying activity.
On the other hand, difficult hobbies can sometimes be more exciting. If an activity is more challenging, we
might feel a greater sense of satisfaction when we manage to do it successfully. For example, film editing
is a hobby that requires a high level of knowledge and expertise. In my case, it took me around two years
before I became competent at this activity, but now I enjoy it much more than I did when I started. I
believe that many hobbies give us more pleasure when we reach a higher level of performance because
the results are better and the feeling of achievement is greater.
In conclusion, simple hobbies can be fun and relaxing, but difficult hobbies can be equally pleasurable for
different reasons.
