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 hobbies
can be fun, and therefore
, I 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.Submitted by bwzhou on
