　　The fast-paced social life has brought us a variety of pressures. Cultivating a hobby could help us stay away from the daily troubles to a certain extent.

　　The cultivation of a hobby could offer us periodic moments of relaxation and enjoyment. For instance, when we are absorbed in the wonderful melody composed by, say, Bach, it is as if we were taking a journey in a different world. The enjoyment of a pastime could also improve our work efficiency because the intervals that hobbies bring us can refresh us and make us more focused when we continue with our work.

　　So don’t hesitate about the choice of hobbies. Just go ahead before it is too late. (116 words)
