According to the passage a hobbyist
Câu hỏi
Nhận biếtVI. Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward. Examples include collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge, and experience. However, personal fulfilment is the aim.
What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a game tester may enjoy cooking as a hobby, while a professional chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug) computer games. Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct from professional.
An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as distinct from a profession (beyond the lack of remuneration), is probably how easy it is to make a living at the activity. Almost no one can make a living at cigarette card or stamp collecting, but many people find it enjoyable; so it is commonly regarded as a hobby.
Amateur astronomers often make meaningful contributions to the professionals. It is not entirely uncommon for a hobbyist to be the first to discover a celestial body or event.
In the UK, the pejorative noun anorak (similar to the Japanese 'otaku' meaning a geek or enthusiast) is often applied to people who obsessively pursue a particular hobby that is considered boring, such as train spotting or stamp collecting.

Thông tin: Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct from professional.
An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as distinct from a profession (beyond the lack of remuneration), is probably how easy it is to make a living at the activity. Almost no one can make a living at cigarette card or stamp collecting, but many people find it enjoyable; so it is commonly regarded as a hobby.
Tạm dịch: Nói chung, người làm một cái gì đó cho vui chứ không phải vì thù lao, được gọi là một người nghiệp dư (hoặc người có sở thích), như khác biệt với chuyên nghiệp.
Một yếu tố quan trọng quyết định những gì được coi là sở thích, khác biệt với nghề nghiệp (ngoài việc không có thù lao), có lẽ là việc hoạt động đó có dễ dàng kiếm sống không. Hầu như không ai có thể kiếm sống bằng thẻ thuốc lá hoặc sưu tập tem, nhưng nhiều người cảm thấy nó thú vị; vì vậy nó thường được coi là một sở thích.
