Essay-writing

MOST of us find it difficult to begin writing. We can make this easier by thinking about the topic either through brainstorming, that is with several people in a group giving their ideas as it strikes them, or we can put them down on a sheet of paper as they occur to us. For example, if the topic is ‘Hobbies’, we can draw a circle and write ‘hobbies’ in it: Then we can put down our thoughts as they come to us in a random manner as shown below.Having done that we select the points and expand each into a sentence.

1. Hobbies are free-time activities. Examples are stampcollecting, painting etc.

2. They are matters of personal choice, not forced.

3. They are interesting and give pleasure.

4. They refresh the mind by providing an opportunity to do different kinds of activities.

5. They provide relief from monotony.

6. They help us channelise our energy.

7. They can also be useful activities and can provide pleasure to others. For example, reading out to visually impaired people, visiting art exhibitions, music concerts etc.

8. Hobbies are educative and they widen our general knowledge.

9. They help us develop our overall personality.

10. They serve as a medium for the expression of our creativity.

11. We meet interesting people through our common interests and develop friendships.

We usually begin a topic with a definition or short description. We could begin thus:

Hobbies are activities that we engage in, in our free time. We may be interested in needlework, drawing and painting or music. Other common hobbies are stampcollecting, clay-modelling, solving crossword puzzles.

Although hobbies also entail work they are taken upon through one’s own personal choice. They are not forced upon us. They are activities that we are really interested in and hence give us a great deal of pleasure.

Hobbies make life interesting. They refresh our minds after a hard day’s work. We need to do something different in order to do our routine work effectively. Hobbies provide this variety.

Hobbies relieve us from the monotony of daily life. They fill us with enthusiasm for work and keep our energy levels high. We will go to any extent to get the things that we require, to get the utmost joy from our hobbies.
