đó để có được niềm vui, sự thư giãn (dù việc đó có thể không đem lại lợi ích mà còn gây hạinhưng bạn vẫn thích)

Việc nghe nhạc giống như một thói quen, sở thích Cứ sau những giờ làm việc căng thẳng thì
người này lại thích tìm đến âm nhạc để thư giãn.
Eg: I like swimming (tôi thích bơi, đó là sở thích lâu dài chứ không phải bây giờ tôi mới
thích).
