Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Lesson 245. The title of today's lesson is "What is the
difference between hobby and pastime. " Yeah. These two are close and it's not so much exactly what you're
doing but sometimes it's how you feel about it and what you put into it that
might make the difference between what somebody would think of as their hobby
or what somebody might think as their pastime. Although there are certain things
that's more likely to go in one category than another category. Let's take a look
at the note. A hobby is something you enjoy doing in your spare time, your free
time. One tends to have a lot more enthusiasm about a hobby and will
consistently dedicate a lot of time to it and be more willing to spend money on
it. So in comparison to a pastime, this is true. You definitely are a lot more
excited about it, you tend to do it a lot more often. You tend to do it more
consistently and you know sometimes your the money will come out of your pocket
quicker for your hobby than just a pastime. Let's continue. A pastime is also
something you do in your free time that is pleasant but is more like something
you do to pass the time. You simply make the time go by or a diversion from
boredom. Something that distracts you from the boredom, takes you away from the
boredom. But you may not have as much enthusiasm for it.
Maybe, maybe do something you do with your family to pass the time. It's more
like a pastime. So let's continue. All right. These are, these are things that we,
that's a little more likely to fall in the hobby category. So a hobby could be
something creative like making something, such
as handicrafts, painting, cooking etc. Yeah this you will probably put more time
into because it takes more time to learn how to do these things and as you get
better you will probably have more of a sense of accomplishment so this is this
is more in the hobby category. You're more likely to call this a hobby
especially if you keep it up, especially if you continue to do it. Often and and you
get better at it. You are more likely to be proud of it. If you accomplish
something in this activity. Yeah something like a pastime is you know
watching TV , reading , not necessarily proud of it. Just something everybody
does to pass the time. To let the time go by. Let's continue. A hobby could also be
a collection. Many people tend to put a lot of time hunting down items to add to it.
And as it grows, you may even feel pride. Yeah. People get into a lot of different
collections. It really doesn't matter what type of collection whether it's a comic
book collection, a baseball card collection, a Barbie doll collection,
stamp collection, coin collection. But usually you, you, you consistently go out
and look for more things to add to it or keep your eye open searching for it.
Maybe it's the hunt that helps it along too. But anyway you're more excited about
it. You're more willing to spend money on it. So that you make your collection more
perfect. Yeah. So this is again much more, you're more likely to call this a hobby.
A lot of people are into different collection hobbies. Okay.
A hobby is more likely to possibly turn into a profession. It could be a number of
things. Maybe you play a musical instrument, you know maybe you, if you
really get good enough, maybe you'll consider to possibly try to be a real
musician. Something like that. You know because you
have more enthusiasm , you, you may direct your life more in that in that direction.
Pastime is probably something you don't do consistently, not something that
you're excited about or thinking about well I got to do that. t just like comes up
you do it. But if you. Yeah. You don't do consistently, but you
are willing to do it if the opportunity is about maybe something you do with
your family maybe I don't know playing cards or if you played a video game
together or something like that . Now video games you could have some kids that play
video games all the time it could be like a hobby and then maybe he could
lead to maybe they want to eventually design video games or go into video game
competitions. Then it becomes more like a hobby. You can say that about something
like a chess too. if you just play chess with a family member once in a while I'd
call that a pastime, but if you are somebody that really gets into chess,
where you start joining a lot of competitions and playing people you
don't know, Then this is, this is not a pastime anymore. This is turning into a
hobby. But you're willing to do if the opportunity is available to spend time in a pleasant
way such as reading. It is like reading a book you know if you do it once in a
while then you'd call that a pastime. I don't know though there could be
somebody that's like an avid reader. That reads oh I don't know six, seven,
eight books a month. Then it could be it could be going into a hobby category.
Watching TV and we'd probably pull this in the pastime category, listening to music yeah this is
probably more a pastime. Although if you start turning it
into collection. Like a record collection and you put more time and energy into it,
then, then it could be turning into a hobby. But if you just listen to some
songs you like to hear once in a while, that's a pastime. Playing a board game you
know playing something like monopoly or chess was also a board game. Or any game like that where you
roll dice and you have pieces go around the board. That you probably don't play
all the time, but every now and then you might pull the game out of a closet or
out of a drawer, a drawer and say hey let's play this game. That's more like a
pastime. a board game etc. So basically that's it. So it's not always so much what it is, but
again hobby definitely, more enthusiasm, more time consistently spent on it, more
willing to spend money on it, more having more of a sense of accomplishment or
pride, it's more likely to be a hobby. Just something you do that's there. Like
yeah, this sounds interesting. I got nothing else to do. This is pretty good.
This is more like a pastime. That's it, Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it . I hope it's clear . Thank
you for your time. Bye-bye.
