In our group, eight people like listening to music. It is the most popular free-time activity. We like it because it helps us relax after class. Playing a sport is also popular and seven people like it. They think it helps them keep healthy. At the same time, six people like watching TV and six people like reading. They believe they are great ways to have a rest. Five students enjoy playing an instrument, while four like going to the cinema. Only three classmates choose drawing or painting.

Discuss the questions.
1. What are the two main ways in which hobbies can be good for us
Two main ways: Hobbies are good for us by benefiting both physical health and emotional well-being. Physical hobbies help keep fit and reduce stress, while creative ones ease negative emotions.
2. Why might some people think that “playing the guitar is a waste of time”
They may ignore the health benefits of playing the guitar and only focus on handling “important tasks”, so they think it is a waste of time.
3. What does the writer mean by “it is important to find the right balance”
It means we should choose proper and healthy hobbies. We need to avoid those that involve too much screen time (which may cause eye strain or poor sleep) or overly solitary ones (that might lead to loneliness).
4. What do you think “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” means Do you agree
Meaning: If a person only focuses on work and never spends time on hobbies or relaxation, they will become dull and lack vitality. Agreement: Yes, because proper hobbies can relieve work stress and refresh our minds, helping us work better.
5.What is your favourite hobby How does it help you
My favorite hobby is reading. It helps me expand my knowledge and broaden my horizons by exposing me to different stories and ideas, and it also allows me to relax when I feel stressed.
