Bài mẫu 

Music has always been my favorite pastime, and I have been passionate about it since I was a child. I have always felt a deep connection with music and considered it to be a vital part of my life. Even as a child, I would get hyperactive and dance around the room whenever music was played. My attachment to music was so strong that I would get angry if anyone attempted to touch the sound system. Music was my solace during difficult times, and I always felt that it had a significant impact on my life. 

As a kid, I used to sneak into the garage where my brother and his bandmates kept their musical instruments with my girlfriend. We would experiment with the instruments, attempting to play our favorite songs. Despite our efforts, we were not very successful. My love for music was not just limited to me; it ran in my family. On Friday nights, we used to have karaoke sessions, and everyone, including our parents, would participate. We recorded these sessions and sent them to our neighbors for feedback. I usually won the competition and earned a reward purchased from our personal savings. 

Even now, music remains an essential part of my life. I listen to music to shut out the world around me when I feel overwhelmed. I have a collection of sad songs that help me during difficult times, and I also listen to upbeat songs to boost my mood when I am happy. I love that music caters to every mood and situation. I often combine music with other interests, such as reading a book while listening to orchestral music in the background. 

One of the best things about music is that it has universal appeal, and it is not necessary to understand the lyrics to enjoy it. I have a diverse music collection that includes different genres from all over the world. Although I do not understand the lyrics of some of my favorite African songs, I still enjoy them. However, I have a strong preference for country and rock music. 

PART 3: 

1: Do you think men and women tend to have different types of hobbies? 

I agree with the statement that sports are usually considered a hobby among the men I know, while women tend to prefer more sedentary and calming activities like reading or crafts. However, it's worth noting that there are also many women who enjoy thrilling pursuits or have a passion for cycling. Similarly, there are men who take an interest in creative hobbies like sewing or pottery. There are always exceptions to any generalization or pattern. 

2: Why do some people become enamored with their hobbies? 

In my opinion, every person has a particular subject or activity that captivates them, whether it's something as diverse as the evolution of art, a dynamic sport such as basketball, or a creative pastime like card-making. Each individual is distinct and what fascinates one person may appear bizarre to another. Nevertheless, not everyone has the luxury to pursue their interests due to time constraints. For instance, mothers of young children typically have less free time compared to single men who devote entire weekends to playing video games. 

3: Do you believe that hobbies that keep you fit are preferable to hobbies that you can do while sitting? 

I disagree, in my opinion, the most beneficial hobbies are those that expand your knowledge, enhance your quality of life, and enable you to acquire a fresh skill. This could encompass a vast range of activities, but it's crucial to keep evolving as an individual and steer clear of monotony by always venturing into new areas.
