Related To Hobbies # Speaking Section

Hobby is something done by an individual during their leisure time. So, yet again this is something related to you and is asked in the Part I of the speaking section. Although it is assumed that hobby is something every individual has, often times people do not have any hobby. So, what should you do in such cases. Simply say a no. Well, remember, no matter what, never say a NO in the speaking section. If you don’t have a hobby make up the answer. In the end they are judging you on your speaking skills.

For today, let us have a look at some of the questions related to hobby that could be asked.

  1. What are your hobbies?

Hobby is something I believe pulls out the hidden talent of an individual. Although most people have one or other kind of hobbies, I love writing, reading and travelling  So, whenever I get time I usually pick some novel or a magazine or newspaper for reading. Or else when I am not reading I usually write on my blog or a diary that I have. On weekends, I mostly prefer to travel to new places. The idea of meeting new people and knowing them really excites me.

2. What do you love about your hobbies?

Frankly speaking I would say everything. Reading opens up a new world in front of me. A world I had never seen,opinions that I had never heard of. It seems as if I am present in a particular situation and having chat with some of the great writers of all times. When I write, I feel as if I am free. The idea that I am able to interact with so many people out there and in some way able to have an impact on their lives, gives a sense of responsibility as well as of achievement. Travelling on the other hand connects me with myself. When I go out in nature or interact with others I feel as if I have opened a layer of myself.

3. What type of hobbies are popular among teenagers in your country?

Hobby is something that completely depends on an individual. However, with coming years, I have observed teenagers spending time in Facebook or twitter or Instagram. However, there are even some who love music or dancing and enroll themselves in those classes. There are some kids who like painting or photography. I think it all depends on an individual and with coming times, people will surely give more importance to hobbies.
