My Favorite Hobbies: Reading and Photography


Spending free time without doing anything causes boredom and wastes time. Therefore, hobbies are one way to take advantage of such time. In this essay, I will talk about my favorite hobbies and their positive impact on my life.


I have two favorite hobbies. I like to enjoy them in my free time and on weekends. These hobbies are reading and photography. As for reading, I like to read different topics. Including short stories and novels. When I read them, I imagine the characters in the story. I also imagine myself living with them. This helps me stay interested in the story, and keep reading it. Other books I like to read are the ones in which the authors tell their personal stories, and how they improved their personalities. Books like this teach me that nothing is impossible in life, and I can achieve my goals through hard work. As for photography, it is true that I do not have a photographic camera, but I use a smartphone camera. The photos I take are simple, and each one holds a special meaning for me. I love photographing clouds, flowers, my family, and my friends. In addition to the sunrise and sunset. I also take pictures of trees during the seasons. I keep the pictures I take on my laptop. Sometimes, I scroll through them when I am going through hard times. Because seeing the smiles of my beloved ones and the beautiful landscapes make me feel better. 


Besides reading and photography, I like to discover new hobbies. For this reason, I try other hobbies from time to time. Like gardening, drawing, and writing short stories. Also, I encourage my family and friends to pursue hobbies because of their benefits. Like reducing negative energy and increasing positive energy.
