Ielts writing task 2 Few people devote time to their hobbies

Question:- Few people devote time to their hobbies nowadays. Say why you think this is the case and what effects this has on the individuals and the society in general

Answer: In the yesteryear, people had some free time in their day to spend with kith and kin and to pursue their hobbies. But, to are so much engrossed in their work day that they do not have time to relax and involve in their hobbies. This new life style is not only due to this reason but because of numerous other factors that I will elaborate in the upcoming paragraphs along with its effects.

Folks of modern world are over ambitious. They want to have whole nine yards and for this they work at a stretch from dawn to dusk. They have replaced their leisure time with their work and money has become front burner for them. This is not because of workers attitude but also because of company policies as it takes two to tango. Companies want to be successful and to maximize profits, they overburden their employees and pressure them to work for longer hours. Finally, for many parents, education and hobbies cannot go hand in hand. As they think that education secures the future of their children so some restrict their kids from following their hobbies. Sometimes, the excessive homework does not allow pupils to indulge in some creative works.

Changing lifestyle always bring some positive and negative effects so as lack of hobbies has. Absent of hobbies restrict the growth of a person. As playing chess, a hobby, sharpens the mind and outdoor games facilitate the body movement and encourages the holistic development of a person. A society which has less number of hobbies enthusiasts will have monotonous environment, fatigued personalities and less creativity. As free time activities make an individual innovative, energetic an agile.

At the tip of iceberg, hobbies are the essential part of our life as these rejuvenates people. Though folks today are busy but they should not neglect and forget the role of hobbies in their life as hobbies can become profession and has power to make a person "God of cricket Sachin Tendulkar"
