Hobby— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence stating your main hobbies, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use correct verb forms and simpler structures to avoid repetition. Reduce redundancy and keep to 2–4 sentences. Add linking words (for example, “also” or “and”) to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: I have several hobbies, but my main ones are gardening and walking. I enjoy planting trees and caring for flowers because it relaxes me and improves my neighborhood. I also go for regular walks to stay fit and clear my mind.

Sugerencia: Answer directly with a clear past reference, then contrast past and present using linking words (e.g., “but”, “however”, “nowadays”). Correct grammar for past tense and avoid vague phrases. Provide one specific example of a childhood hobby and briefly explain why it changed.

Ejemplo: Yes. When I was a child I used to play cricket most of the time because there were many open spaces near my home. However, as I grew older and my neighborhood changed, I now prefer walking instead.

Sugerencia: Be confident and avoid filler phrases (e.g., “if I remember clearly”). Start with a direct sentence stating whether you still have a childhood hobby. Use clear linking to explain change and give a concise reason why you no longer continue some activities.

Ejemplo: Yes and no. I used to take part in many sports such as cricket and football when I was young, but I no longer play them regularly. Instead, I now go for walks because I prefer low-impact exercise and it fits my schedule better.

Sugerencia: Answer directly (Yes/No) and then give 2–3 specific examples of family members’ hobbies, using simple clear sentences and correct possessives (e.g., “my father’s hobby is…”). Use linking words such as “for example” or “for instance” to organize details and avoid hesitations.

Ejemplo: No, my hobbies are different from my family’s. For example, my father’s hobby is riding his motorcycle, while my mother enjoys cooking. I prefer gardening and walking, so our interests vary by age and preference.

× Yes I like many things to do and to in my leisure time but the most and the first thing that I have I have been enjoying to do is to planting a trees and to going for a walk.

✓ Yes, I like many things to do in my leisure time, but the main thing I enjoy is planting trees and going for a walk.

The student incorrectly mixes 'to' with gerunds and uses infinitive forms where the gerund is required. After verbs like 'enjoy' and when listing activities, use the gerund (planting, going) not 'to planting' or 'to going'. Also 'a trees' is wrong; 'trees' is plural without an article. Suggestion: use 'enjoy' + verb-ing and correct article/plural forms.

× So yes going for a walk as well as and plucking or flowering.

✓ So yes, I enjoy going for a walk as well as picking flowers.

The original is unclear and contains incorrect word choice ('plucking or flowering' is not correct). Use the verb 'pick' with 'flowers' and simplify the structure. Ensure proper conjunction use ('as well as') and include subject if needed. Suggestion: use clear verb + object phrases like 'picking flowers'.

× Yes there are there are many hobbies on that time, but with the passage of time, the hobbies has to be changed due to an advancement of an in our hometown or neighborhood.

✓ Yes, there were many hobbies at that time, but over time the hobbies changed due to development in our hometown or neighborhood.

Tense and 'there be' form are incorrect: speaking about the past requires 'there were' not 'there are'. 'On that time' should be 'at that time' or 'then'. 'The hobbies has to be changed' is ungrammatical; use past tense 'changed' to match context. Also remove extra articles and words. Suggestion: match there be to tense and use correct preposition 'at' for time.

× So yes, there are lots of change.

✓ So yes, there are a lot of changes.

Count noun 'change' requires plural 'changes' or use uncountable 'change' with different meaning. Use 'a lot of' with countable plural nouns: 'a lot of changes' or 'many changes'. Suggestion: ensure noun number matches quantifier.

× In my childhood I used to play cricket most but nowadays I like to go for a walk only.

✓ In my childhood I used to play cricket the most, but nowadays I only like to go for a walk.

Order and placement of 'most' and 'only' were awkward. Use 'used to' + base verb is correct for past habits. Place 'the most' after the activity and 'only' before the verb phrase to indicate exclusivity. Suggestion: position adverbs close to the element they modify.

× If if I remember clearly, then I would say that when I was a child, I used to participate many extracurricular activities like cricket, football or many other sports.

✓ If I remember correctly, I would say that when I was a child, I used to participate in many extracurricular activities like cricket, football, and other sports.

Use 'participate in' (preposition error) and 'remember correctly' instead of 'remember clearly'. Also add commas and 'and' for a list. Suggestion: learn collocations like 'participate in' and use proper list punctuation.

× And that The thing is going to be is, is spacing me nowadays. Like I'm going for a walk nowadays.

✓ That activity is something I am doing nowadays; for example, I go for walks now.

Original is wordy, repetitive and contains incorrect phrasing ('spacing me' makes no sense). Replace with clear structure: 'That activity is something I am doing nowadays' or 'I go for walks now.' Suggestion: avoid filler words and use concise, meaningful verbs.

× Uh, I said no, the, because men, many of my members, family members, uh, is different age of, uh, group, like my father and my, uh, my father is going, uh, is a hobby.

✓ No, because many of my family members are in different age groups. For example, my father has a hobby of riding a bike.

Pronoun and noun phrases are confused. Use 'many of my family members are' for subject-verb agreement and 'in different age groups' for correct preposition and plural. 'My father has a hobby of riding a bike' uses correct verb and noun order. Suggestion: simplify sentences, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use clear noun phrases.

× My mother, uh, hobbies to cooking.

✓ My mother enjoys cooking.

'Hobbies to cooking' is ungrammatical. Use 'enjoys cooking' or 'her hobby is cooking.' Suggestion: use 'enjoy' + -ing or 'hobby is' + noun.

× And so the, there are different hobbies according to the age group, I would say.

✓ So, there are different hobbies depending on the age group, I would say.

Use 'depending on' or 'according to' without extra filler words. The comma placement is adjusted for clarity. Suggestion: prefer simpler connectors like 'depending on' and remove fillers.
