Introduction

            Our lives would be hard without rest and recreation. People have quite different ideas of how to spend their free time. For some of them the only way to relax is watching TV or drinking beer. But other people use their spare time getting maximum benefit from it. We strongly feel that hobbies make our lives much more interesting.

So, the aim of research is to find out what part hobbies play in our life and which ones are popular with pupils 5V form`s and their teachers.

We set ourselves the following tasks:

1. To get acquainted with hobbies of famous people.

2. To find out what hobbies exist in the world and where they have come from.

3. To classify hobbies and to make up a table.

4. To make a survey and to find out the hobbies of 5 V form`s pupils and their teachers.

5. To collect photos of their hobbies.

6. To make a conclusion.

The ways of research are:

1. To select information.

2. To analyze information.

3. To make questionnaire.

4. To summarize information.

We pull out the hypothesis: Hobby is a kind of self – expression and the way to understand other people and the whole world.

The practical value of the work is evident. It may be interesting and useful for pupils, their parents and teachers. It can help them to find an exciting activity which they really like, that can develop their skills and express themselves.

What is a hobby? Why do people have hobbies?

   Make the most of today. Get interested in something.

                                                                                      Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby.

                                                                        Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you.

                                                                                                   Live today with gusto.

Wikipedia: A hobby is an activity, interest, enthusiasm, or amateur pastime that is undertaken for pleasure or relaxation, typically done during one`s leisure time.

Psychologist state following theory, which we totally agree with because, can be easily proved: having certain preoccupations (hobbies) makes your life quality grow by enhancing the level of happiness.

Recreation refers to the time spent in an activity one loves to engage in, with intent to feel refreshed. It is a break from monotony and a diversion from the daily routine. It is a positive change from the stereotypical lifestyle and involves an active participation in entertaining activities that one is interested in. Recreational activities give enjoyment because, while recreating one engages in something he likes. They are a source of joy and they provide relaxation to one`s mind and body.

Why do people have hobbies? Firstly, they want to have a good and quality time. A hobby helps people to relax after work or school.

Having a hobby people realize themselves in different ways. For young children and teenagers it is a way to develop their skills and talent and of course to keep them away from things like drugs, alcohol and bad company. Doing a hobby stimulates your brain. A hobby helps to concentrate on other work later.

If you are good at your hobby, you feel proud of yourself.
