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 hobby can be fun, and I therefore
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.
