Do you have hobbies? Do you know what hobbies can help you? Here are some benefits of them.
They help you learn. When you have a hobby, you learn new things. You read books to get more information about your hobby. More reading makes you a better reader and a better learner.
They help you be relaxed. Having a hobby makes you feel good. Scientists say, "When you do things you like, the‘feel-good' part of your brain(大脑) makes you feel happy." When we feel happy, we will have no stress(压力). Too much stress can make people ill.
They help you make friends. You like playing basketball so you often play it in the playground. Then you will meet new friends from different classes. You like playing the erhu so you join the music club. You will stay with friends and enjoy the hobby together.
They help you learn skills. People with hobbies learn how to make plans and solve (解决) problems. Learning these skills when you are young can help you when you grow up.
So try to find a hobby, and stick to(坚持) it. It will help you a lot.
