三、阅读理解。
Hobbies let you explore interests outside of your line of work. They let you be creative and try all kinds of new things. If you’re bored with your old hobby, picking a different one can get your creative juices flowing again.
Look at what interests you.
Check what you love doing in your spare time. Do you enjoy reading books Maybe you want to try your hand at writing your own. Do you like a hot coffee at the end of the day Maybe your hobby could be trying to make it at home. Turn what you already love into a hobby.
Think about what you value most.
Do you value wisdom or courage Do you admire artists Let such questions guide you when choosing a hobby.
For example, maybe you could volunteer at a library as a hobby because you value education, or maybe you could try painting because you admire people who can express themselves with art.
Check your skills and personality.
Certain hobbies require certain skill sets.
If you don’t have much patience, then maybe going fishing isn’t something you’d enjoy. However, if you love repairing and building things, maybe you should consider a hobby like working on older cars or building furniture. Play to your strengths.
Pay attention to your favourite __ 3 __.
The way you talk about things can also show what you really like and it can be developed into a hobby.
Think about the topics you go on endlessly about. Ask your friends and family what you talk about all the time. Now, think about the subject that you enjoy so much and decide how it can be turned into a hobby.
