Many people think that difficult hobbies are more enjoyable. I partially disagree with this view. Although simple activities give immediate pleasure, challenging ones are much more intellectually rewarding. , as now will be discussed (That is not good. The examiner knows the format of an essay. They know you are writing an essay. They know the body paragraphs come next. Do not tell them this information.)
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Some people believe that hobbies need to be difficult to be enjoyable.To what extent do you agree or disagree?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push();You should write at least 250 words.Sample Answer 1: A group of people think that enjoyable hobbies are activities that are considered as difficult and challenging. Although some people agree with the statement, but I personally disagree with it, since everyone has his own interest.On the one hand, several people believe that enjoyable hobbies need to be difficult and complicated. Sophisticated and challenging hobbies such as mountain climbing, bungee jumping or water rafting are considered as high risk and trigger the adrenalin. To conquer those hobbies, people need to be in a healthy condition and require them to master some sophisticated techniques. And when people could conquer these activities, they would be satisfied with the accomplishment and achievement. As for simple hobbies such as walking or reading, they believe that these activities are less challenging and boring, since everybody could do those activities, and they do not require any kind of expertise or breathtaking.On the other hand, it is undeniable that people have different interest, passion and hobby. For certain people, easy hobbies such as stamp collecting or jogging might be considered as boring, but others feel that these activities are fun and satisfying. Some people are satisfied and proud of their unique and diverse stamp collection, while others enjoy walking as it helps them in maintaining their health. Therefore, people could not rank different hobbies based on the difficulty level of the activity.In conclusion, it is true that some hobbies are difficult but others are easy, and everyone has different hobbies. I personally feel that hobbies do not need to be difficult to be enjoyable but they should be in accordance with a person's interest.[ Written by Darwin Lesmana ] Sample Answer 2: Once in a while, we have to have enjoyment through things we always like to do to escape from our stressful work, so we do have a certain hobby. However, these habitual things should not be extreme for us to enjoy, because as long as we love what we do and we can afford it, then we will get the pleasure we want to.For one, as long as we have a fondness of what we like to do regularly, we can achieve enjoyment. For instance, my hobby is reading fiction and nonfiction books such as the series novel Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard. I really love to read since I was in my preschool age and I do this every weekend or I am not busy at work in the hospital. This is not a very difficult thing to do because I am just sitting on a couch or in my bed while doing this, but I always get the pleasure I wanted.In addition to this, these books are affordable so it more added to our indulgence. For example, there are preloaded books in Burnham Bookwormers bookstore that is located in Baguio City, Philippines, in which we can purchase a second-hand book for only 10 to 20 pesos, an equivalent of half a US dollar. So it is very cheap. Whereas when we engage to extremely hard hobbies such sky-diving, cycling down a cliff or feeding a shark by our hands like others wanted to do, then we need to have a lot of money to be able to do such things, and we cannot enjoy these if we always think how much money we spent for these dangerous hobbies.In conclusion, it is always pleasurable to do activities of our great interest and at the same time economical. It does not need to be hard and risky like some would want it to have fun. So I highly recommend enjoying what you like doing as long as you can manage it economically.[ Written by Rona Lyn Olivar ] (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push(); 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Rating 2.17 (15 Votes) PrevNext I consent to this website collecting my details through this form.

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 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.
Continuation.... Simon, does this mean i can also add reasons like to be succesful in their chosen career in this kind of question... Some people think that the only purpose of working hard is to earn money. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?Tnx for any response.
You listed down both easy and challenging hobbies. And you express that "you disagree with the statement" in the full essay. However, you also said that "you partly agree" with the statement in lesson dated 18th Apr. Which one is correct in order to discuss two types of hobby are enjoyable.
Another new topic: "Some people think that a large amount of time and money spent on the protection of wild animals is excessive and should be better spent on the human population. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion."
Hi Simon,I am a little confused about this essay. In the third paragraph, you mention that "difficult hobbies can sometimes be more exciting","greater sense", but in the conclusion, you said "difficult hobbies can be equally pleasurable". So would you say that difficult hobbies are better? Is it more logistic?Besides, my teacher tells me in some topics, such as discuss the advantages or disadvantages and so on, I should always give the solutions or the suggetions in the last paragraph. Because in this case, I can get a higher score. Is it right?Thank you!
On the other hand, some people think that complicated hobbies are more challenging. They think that the sense of pride and achievement is much more higher than the simple hobbies. For example, although mountain climbing is a dangerous hobby, but for some people this is a fun activity and they would take all the risk just to conquer the mountains. Yachting is a complex and expensive activity, but for few people, they are willing to spend so much money just to enjoy it.
Hi Simon,I am not really sure but my teacher said that if I copy exactly what is in the question, examiners will not count it in my essay, so I need to paraphrase the sentence in the question. This work sometimes takes me a lot of time because I find it difficult to choose the correct synonyms. However, in this essay's introduction, you write "hobbies need to be difficult in order to be enjoyable", this sentence seem to be used in the question. Is it a problem or not?
Some hobbies are easy to be enjoyed, while others seem to present more of a challenge. From my perspective, I believe that people do not need to have difficult hobbies to gain joyfulness because both types of them can be equally fun and entertaining.
On the other hand, difficult hobbies can sometimes be more exciting. If the activity become more challenging, we will feel greater sense of satisfaction when we manage to do it successfully. For example, film editing is a hobbies that requires a high level of knowledge and expertise. In my case, it takes me two years to become competent at this activity, and I enjoy it much more than I did when I started. It seems logical that many hobbies give us more pleasure if we reach a higher level of performance because the results are better, and the feelings of achievements are greater.
Conversely, there are people who enjoy difficult hobbies. This is because they want to push their limit, get off their comfort zone and achieve mastery in taming the mind, emotions, and the challenges of everyday life. Demanding hobby, according to them, is a demonstrative tool for breaking boundaries on a personal and professional front. A case in point is hiking. It is one of the quintessential weekend hobbies for individuals with a passion for long treks and exploring the beauty of nature. A recent study has revealed that hiking has a positive effect on productivity, as it helps people to focus on the present clearing their mind of all worries and increase physical fitness and stamina as well. But these kinds of challenging hobbies come with danger and they are not easy to pursue. 2ff7e9595c
