1. Do you think it's important for people to have hobbies? Why? 
Yes, I think people need to have hobbies because we all need to do things we 
enjoy in our spare time. In my case, I find that playing football once a week 
with some friends helps me to relax, keep fit and forget about work. I think it's 
the same for everyone. 
2. Can hobbies have any negative effects? 
Yes, if you spend too much time on your hobby, it can affect other parts of 
your life. I remember that one of my friends spent most of his time at 
university playing computer games instead of studying. In the end, he failed 
most of his exams.
