Not much actually, because I was a child who needs her parents help all the time, seeks their help, asks for permission. So I was not an independent person, so I was only doing what my parents taught me to do. But now I'm an independent person so I can do everything I want.

Do you have the same hobbies as your family members?
Candidato
Yes, I'm playing tennis with my father twice a week. That's our hobby. He likes it and I like it too. And he's also really good at it, better than me. So it's a great pleasure for me to play with him. But not with my mother. She has no hobbies.
Do you have any hobbies?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Cevap doğrudan ve bilgiyi veriyor ancak fazla genel ve bazı dilbilgisi hataları var. Cümleleri kısaltıp daha doğal akış sağlamalısınız. Örneğin, örnekleri sıralarken bağlaçlar (and, also) ya da bağlayıcı ifadeler (for instance, such as) kullanın ve son cümlede 'improves' yerine 'improve' gibi doğru fiil uyumuna dikkat edin. Ayrıca gereksiz tekrarları azaltın ve maksimum 4-5 cümlede kalın.
Ejemplo: I have several hobbies. For example, I play tennis and practice yoga regularly, and I also enjoy reading and playing chess. These activities help me relax and improve my concentration.
Did you have any hobbies when you were a child?
Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: Cevap samimi ama zaman uyumu ve gramer hataları var; ayrıca tekrar eden ifadeler azaltılmalı. Geçmişten bahsederken past tense (needed, sought) kullanın ve tekrar eden 'so' bağlaçlarını sınırlayın. Bir veya iki destekleyici örnek ekleyerek cevabı zenginleştirin (ör. hangi aktiviteleri yaptırırlardı).
Ejemplo: Not really. As a child I needed my parents' help a lot, so I often did only the activities they encouraged, such as piano lessons and swimming. Now I am more independent and choose my own hobbies.
Do you have a hobby that you've had since childhood?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: İyi içerik ama dilbilgisi ve kelime seçimi geliştirilmeli. 'Reading book' yerine 'reading books' veya 'reading' kullanın; zaman uyumunu koruyun ('has been a hobby' / 'since childhood'). 'Exploring new lies' yanlış bir ifade; muhtemelen 'lives' veya 'ideas' demek istediniz. Daha spesifik örnekler verin (hangi tür kitaplar).
Ejemplo: Yes. Reading has been my hobby since childhood because I always enjoyed stories and learning new things. I especially liked fantasy and history books, which helped me imagine different lives and cultures.
Do you have the same hobbies as your family members?
Puntuación: 75.0Sugerencia: Cevap açık ve spesifik, ancak dilbilgisi ve akıcılık geliştirilebilir. 'I'm playing' yerine 'I play' veya 'I play tennis with my father twice a week' kullanın. 'She has no hobbies' gibi keskin ifadeler yerine daha yumuşak açıklama ekleyin (ör. 'my mother prefers other activities'). Ayrıca neden birlikte oynamaktan keyif aldığınızı kısaca açıklayın.
Ejemplo: Yes. I play tennis with my father twice a week; he is better than me, but we both enjoy it because it is a good way to exercise and spend time together. My mother, however, prefers relaxing activities at home rather than sports.
× I have so many different hobbies. For example, I like playing tennis, practicing yoga, reading books, playing chess and taking care of myself. So I like doing so many things that improves my character.
✓ I have so many different hobbies. For example, I like playing tennis, practicing yoga, reading books, playing chess and taking care of myself. So I like doing so many things that improve my character.
The clause 'that improves my character' modifies the plural idea 'so many things', so the verb should be in the base form 'improve' after the relative pronoun 'that'. Use 'improve' to agree with the plural antecedent. Suggestion: ensure the verb after 'that' agrees with its antecedent (plural -> base form without -s).
× Not much actually, because I was a child who needs her parents help all the time, seeks their help, asks for permission.
✓ Not much actually, because I was a child who needed her parents' help all the time, sought their help and asked for permission.
The sentence describes past habits, so verbs must be in the past tense ('needed', 'sought', 'asked'). Also use the possessive form 'parents' help' with an apostrophe. Suggestion: when talking about past states or repeated actions in the past, change present-tense verbs to past tense consistently and use correct possessive forms.
× Not much actually, because I was a child who needs her parents help all the time, seeks their help, asks for permission.
✓ Not much actually, because I was a child who needed her parents' help all the time, sought their help and asked for permission.
The original mixes present-tense verbs with past reference and uses 'her' which is correct if speaking of herself, but the punctuation/possessive is missing: 'parents help' should be 'parents' help'. Suggestion: include the apostrophe for possessive and keep pronoun references clear. (Note: tense corrections applied as well.)
× So I was not an independent person, so I was only doing what my parents taught me to do.
✓ So I was not an independent person; I only did what my parents taught me to do.
The phrase 'was only doing' is awkward for a habitual past action; use simple past 'did' to describe habitual past behavior. Also combine clauses to avoid repetitive 'so'. Suggestion: use simple past for repeated or habitual actions in the past.
× But now I'm an independent person so I can do everything I want.
✓ But now I'm an independent person, so I can do whatever I want.
Grammatically the sentence is acceptable, but 'everything I want' is more natural as 'whatever I want'. Add a comma before 'so'. Suggestion: prefer idiomatic phrasing 'whatever I want' for ability/choice.
× I think reading book is the hobby that I've been doing since childhood because it was always enjoyable for me.
✓ I think reading books is the hobby that I've had since childhood because it was always enjoyable for me.
Use the plural 'reading books' or the gerund phrase 'reading' with no article. Also 'I've been doing since childhood' is awkward; 'I've had since childhood' is more natural for a hobby. Suggestion: use 'reading books' or 'reading' and pair with 'have had' for long-term hobbies.
× I like reading books, learning about new things and exploring new lies, so I think reading books was my biggest and oldest hobby.
✓ I like reading books, learning about new things and exploring new ideas, so I think reading books has been my biggest and oldest hobby.
'Lies' is a spelling error; context requires 'ideas'. Additionally, 'was' should be 'has been' because the hobby continues to the present. Suggestion: check spelling and use present perfect 'has been' for actions or states that started in the past and continue now.
× Yes, I'm playing tennis with my father twice a week.
✓ Yes, I play tennis with my father twice a week.
Use simple present 'I play' for habitual actions (regular activities). Present continuous 'I'm playing' implies a current temporary action. Suggestion: use simple present for routines and schedules.
× He likes it and I like it too. And he's also really good at it, better than me.
✓ He likes it and I like it too. He's also really good at it, better than I am.
The comparative clause 'better than me' is informal; prescriptive grammar prefers 'better than I am' or at least 'better than me' is acceptable in speech but 'better than I am' is clearer and complete. Suggestion: in formal responses use the full clause 'better than I am'.
× So it's a great pleasure for me to play with him. But not with my mother.
✓ So it's a great pleasure for me to play with him, but not with my mother.
The fragment 'But not with my mother.' is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and verb. Combine with the previous sentence or complete it: 'but I do not play with my mother' or attach with a comma. Suggestion: avoid fragments by ensuring each sentence has a subject and verb or join related ideas.
× She has no hobbies.
✓ She has no hobbies.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Explanation: 'no hobbies' correctly expresses absence. Suggestion: none.
