We may have many different kinds of hobbies during our lifetime. When we are very young，it takes us most of our time to play with toys. When we get older，we start to find our first hobbies. Some kids go out for a sport like football or skating. These new interests can last(持续) a long time and most children put a lot of energy into them. Some other children might be interested in less active activities like reading，painting，or stamp collecting，while some others might enjoy playing an instrument like the piano or the violin.
As we get older，our hobbies might change. Some people collecting stamps as a child might still be collecting stamps when they are 80 years old. But other people might change their interests every year depending on fashion. Some people are so lucky that they have found work that is similar to their hobbies，like the kid who loves music becomes a singer.
Some of the most popular hobbies include watching TV，reading books，and playing a musical instrument. Many people like to do sports. Lots of people like traveling as a hobby. The main purpose of a hobby is to relax. A hobby is something we should do only for ourselves.
