Describe an expensive hobby you can't pursue daily.: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

I'm gonna share about the most expensive hobby which I can't pursue daily. It is adventure. I just love doing adventure. I love going on hikes and skydiving, bungee jumping and many other adventure sports. It is very lavish and almost impossible for a middle class to pursue in his daily life because it is very expensive because of its equipments, risks involved in that adventure and the need of highly trained manpower in that particular sort of adventure thing. For an example, if we take skydiving, it involves a plane, a trainer who will jump with you and a cameraman who will record you. So airways is one of the most expensive source of transportation but I still wish to pursue it because it gives you that adrenaline rush and makes you feel that you are living. And for an instance, while you are skydiving, you feel like you are flying like a bird as you reach your terminal velocity and you feel living.

An expensive hobby I can't pursue daily would be painting. I mean, I love painting. But the paints, the cost of the paper, and the brushes is so high, it's unaffordable. I paint once every two months now, to get these huge canvases and these acrylic paints. First of all, the availability is an issue. But then, spending 1,000 or 2,000 on a canvas, it just makes no sense. I still do love to practice, and I wish to do it. And in order to fund all my practice, I'm planning to get a good job. And that is also a reason why I'm doing my Master's, right? To fund my painting. Painting is a skill that I sort of had inherently, I would say. It was passed on from my mother, who was also a great painter. And I never went to a drawing class or a painting class. And one fine day, I realized I could paint. But it was with those cheap watercolor paints and those watercolor brush pens that you get. And I was decent with it. But when I took it further, like a level above what I was doing, it just got expensive.

Recently, I've came across a new hobby that's been going on between the people, which is of buying of luxury bags. Some people would go around buying expensive luxury bags just so they can resell them again. They don't usually buy the bag for the practical purpose of using it, but more with a retail perspective. And the bags have been ranged from exquisite big amounts which could go to lakhs and crores, but their retail value is also quite worth it. And the thing about this is, the whole industry or hobby as such is far too expensive for a normal and ordinary man to achieve something like that. Although there are many hobbies, not just about buying a luxury bag and reselling it for the purpose. Hobbies like golfing is something I've also found to be on the expensive side. For golfing, even the equipments of the golf clubs, the outfits, the attire, the shoes and the golf course would end up causing a lot of money. But a hobby is a hobby. One can get, if one is capable of buying a luxury item and reselling it and it's a part of a hobby, that's really good as well. And if one has a hobby of painting, which doesn't necessarily cost as much, it's still a hobby. Yeah, but still, an expensive hobby has been established in quite a few states.

I have many hobbies but one of the most expensive hobbies that I have would be making a song. I'm a songwriter, a rapper and releasing a song really cost a lot of penny because there's a lot of process involved in releasing just one song. You have to buy a beat or collaborate with a good producer, go to a studio, record it and you have to come up with a music video and get a copyright claim. There's a lot of process involved in it but I want to pursue it because in my heart to heart I feel like that's the only thing that I should be doing and we got only one life to live and I don't believe reincarnation so I got only one shot. That's why I want to pursue it.

My expensive hobby is shopping. As shopping I can't do it daily because it would be very expensive and it is my expensive hobby because whenever I go to shopping I just cannot buy the things that are cheap. Maybe because I am a plus size girl and I won't find the clothes which are available in my sizes which are also cheap. However, I like to purchase expensive things mostly. Like whenever I go to buy some makeup products I will always go on the section of Dior instead of Huda Beauty which are the normal price range products which I could definitely afford. But no, I have to go to Dior and I have to try those products out and then I would know that they are expensive and their feel is good. So, I have to purchase the expensive product and whenever I go for buying shoes I just can't feel comfortable in normal or cheap shoes. I just have to get the expensive ones. So, yes shopping can be one of my expensive hobbies.
