Q. Popular hobbies and interests change over time to time and are more a reflection of fashions and trends than an indication of what people really want to do in their spare time. To what extent do you agree with this given statement?
It is true that individuals hobbies and interests change according to the latest trends and fashions. They follow these hobbies and interests for the sake of popularity, not for personal pleasure. To some extent, I agree with the statements, but there are some new hobbies that people follow because they enjoy this activity.
To commence with, many people change their hobby for the sake of popularity. People follow and practice popular activities to show that they exist and keep up with the latest trends, but they do not really have a passion for it. For example, mountain biking has recently become a popular activity in Indonesia and many people follow it. While some of them ride mountain bikes because they enjoy sports, others do it to show that they are following the current trend and to show that they have the latest bike.
On the other hand, there are few other people who change their interests and hobbies because they enjoy these new activities. These new hobbies may be the latest trend, but these people are changing their interest because they have a huge passion for these pursuits. In addition, these hobbies may have been invented recently, so no one has been involved in these hobbies in the past.
To conclude, it should be noted that people's hobbies and interests sometimes change. Up to a point, I agree that some people change their hobbies following a trend, but there are others who change their interests because they enjoy a new activity. Personally, I believe that a hobby is a private matter for everyone, and we should not keep an eye on what is popular in society and should do what we really like.
