Few people devote time to hobbies nowadays. Say why you think this is the case and what effect this has on the individual and society in general. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Hobbies
are an integral part of one's life
. Because of too much work
pressure in a competitive world, people
nowadays are not able to spend much time
on their hobbies
as they were previously used to. This
trend has many consequences and can lead to many problems. This
essay will explain how this
will affect the person's life
and society as a whole.
To embark, due to
the highly stressed work
culture and meet deadline pressure, individuals don't have enough time
to do extra activities like singing and dancing or any sport or artwork they are interested in the past. They are so much busy in their work
, sometimes they need to work
overtime to meet the deadlines. Some people
, however
, do extra work
to add extra earnings for their families and could not spare much time
for themselves. In a rat racing life
, people
are only run after the money and hardly get enough time
to sleep as well. As a result
, this
will lead to many health and mental issues. For example
, due to
an imbalance between work
and personal life
, 20% of people
in India are facing depression and anxiety other than that 50% of the population are suffering from high blood pressure and other physical health-related issues.
This
trend, however
, affects society as well, if a person is not following their hobby, this
will lead to isolation. People
lose their creativity and will also
not be able to think outside the box. As a result
efficiency of a person to do various kinds of tasks will be compromised. In a country like Japan, for instance
, most people
are following their hobbies
so they are more active in their life
on the other hand
, people
from South Asia are living a more sedentary life
, so the overall
growth ratio is compromised there.
To conclude
, one should maintain a balance between work
and life
. So that people
can save themselves from the highly stressed environment and live a healthy life
by balancing the time
between their hobbies
and work
culture.Submitted by MT on

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
