Hobbies differ like tastes. If you have chosen a hobby according to your character and taste you are lucky because your life becomes more interesting.
Hobbies are divided into four large groups: doing things, making things, collecting things, and learning things.
The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things. It includes a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to travelling and from chess to volleyball.
Gardening is one of the oldest of man's hobbies. It is a well-known fact that the English are very fond of gardening and growing flowers, especially roses.
Both grown-ups and children are fond of playing different computer games. This is a relatively new hobby but it is becoming more and more popular.
Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculpture, designing costumes, handicrafts. Two of the most famous hobby painters were President Eisenhower and Sir Winston Churchill. Some hobbyists write music or play musical instruments. Bill Clinton, for example, plays the saxophone.
Almost everyone collects something at some period in his life: stamps, coins, match-boxes, books, records, postcards, toys, watches. Some collections have no real value. Others become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and galleries. Many world-famous collections started in a small way with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect paintings, rare books and other art objects. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that others might take pleasure in seeing them.
No matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always has the opportunity of learning from it. By reading about the things he is interested in, he is adding to what he knows. Learning things can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby.

Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, they travel to enjoy picturesque places, or just for a change of scene. It is always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different types of music.
Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shop windows and dining at exotic restaurants. City-dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk and bathe and laze in the sun.
Most travellers and holiday-makers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests them – the sights of the city, old churches and castles, views of mountains, lakes, valleys, plains, waterfalls, forests; different kinds of trees, flowers and plants, animal and birds.
Later, perhaps years later, they will be reminded by the photos of the happy time they have had.
People travel by train, by plane, by boat, by car.
All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages. All people choose one according to their plans and destinations.
If we are fond of travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home, though we may read about them in books and newspapers, and see pictures of them on TV. The best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to get to know and understand the people is to meet them in their own homes.

Social work and social care as a professional activity are indeed hard to define. The area is diverse, changeable and highly controversial. Social work is scattered across different sites, working with different sorts of people. The problem of description is one of social work's defining characteristics, for it is "in an essentially contested and ambiguous position". Social work has always been the subject of argument and debate concerning its purpose in society; it is ambiguous, for it operates between "individual initiative and the all encompassing state".
Social work has to balance the rights of individual service users with its statutory responsibilities and with the requirement to challenge unjust policies as they effect users. Any definition of social work and social care has to recognize that its power to operate is circumscribed by law. Government outlines how social workers should respond to certain groups of individuals. Legislation can, for example, place a duty upon social services departments to act to prevent child abuse, while giving them considerable discretion with regard to family support. In assessing whether children are at risk, the law requires social workers to use their professional judgement in deciding whether to intervene in a situation. Social workers have been heavily criticized, particularly by the media and some politicians, for intervening both too quickly and not quickly enough.
In operating on behalf of the state, social workers are involved in
a balancing act; they are required to represent the state to users of services with whom they work, while advocating on behalf of individuals back to the state. In the UK (unlike other countries, such as Germany), social workers are required to carry out statutory and protective roles, while at the same time promoting social justice. In Germany this contradiction is resolved by employing both social workers (with a protective role) and social pedagogues (with an enabling community role). Both roles are seen as valid. Qualification on the one hand does not preclude entry to the other, whereas in the UK social workers and community workers are trained separately.
