Do you have any hobbies?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Be careful with grammar (use base verbs after 'like' and match subject-verb agreement). Make your answer more concise and natural: state a topic sentence then give 1–2 specific details and a reason. Use linking words (for example, and, so, because). Avoid listing too many activities without detail.
Example: I enjoy watching short videos and listening to music in my free time because they help me relax. For example, I often watch short comedy clips online and listen to acoustic playlists while I cook, which makes me feel peaceful and energized.
Did you have any hobbies when you were a child?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Use past tense consistently when talking about childhood. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add a specific detail with a linking word (for example, 'and' or 'so'). Remove filler sounds like 'MMM.'
Example: Yes. When I was a child I enjoyed cycling and drawing. Every afternoon my friend and I would ride our bikes to the nearby park, and we often talked about school or planned little adventures while we cycled.
Do you have a hobby that you've had since childhood?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Avoid repetition and fix grammar (use 'the hobby I mentioned is drawing and cycling' and 'when I cycle'). Provide one concise, natural sentence stating continuity, then a brief reason with a specific example. Use linking words (because, so) and reduce repeated words like 'really'.
Example: Yes, I have kept drawing and cycling since I was a child because they help me relax. For instance, I still sketch landscapes on weekends and go cycling along the river, which always makes me feel happy.
Do you have the same hobbies as your family members?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: Be careful with word choice and sentence endings ('sometimes' and complete the phrase 'from' which is incomplete). Give a clear topic sentence then a specific example, and use linking words like 'so' or 'for example.' Mention why you join them to show relevance.
Example: Yes, many of my family members enjoy watching movies and short videos, so I often join them. For example, we sometimes watch Taiwanese films together on weekends, and occasionally we choose horror movies for a shared thrilling experience.
× Yes, I like to watching the short videos, eating and listening to the music during my free time.
✓ Yes, I like watching short videos, eating, and listening to music during my free time.
The verb 'like' should be followed by the gerund form without 'to' when listing activities: use 'watching' not 'to watching'. Also remove 'the' before uncountable 'music' and 'the' before 'short videos' is unnecessary. Add commas for clarity.
× This make me feel relaxed and peaceful.
✓ This makes me feel relaxed and peaceful.
The subject 'This' is singular, so the verb must be 'makes' (third person singular). Use correct verb form to match the subject.
× When I was a child, I like to cycle and draw.
✓ When I was a child, I liked to cycle and draw.
The time reference 'When I was a child' is past, so the verb should be in past tense: 'liked' instead of 'like'.
× During every afternoon, I invite my friend to go out to cycle at the nearby park.
✓ Every afternoon, I invited my friend to go cycling at the nearby park.
Use 'Every afternoon' rather than 'During every afternoon'. Maintain past tense 'invited' to match 'was a child'. 'go cycling' is a more natural collocation than 'go out to cycle'. Also pluralize 'friend' to 'my friend' is fine; keep singular if referring to one friend. I changed 'invite' to past 'invited' for tense consistency.
× During cycle, we talk.
✓ While cycling, we talked.
Use 'While cycling' (present participle) to express simultaneous action and past tense 'talked' to match the time frame. 'During cycle' is incorrect; use 'while cycling' or 'during our rides'.
× Yes, the hobby that I mentioned at the previous question, which is hobby and cycling.
✓ Yes, the hobby I mentioned in the previous question is drawing and cycling.
The phrase was ungrammatical and redundant. Use 'in the previous question' not 'at'. Remove 'which is hobby' and provide the activities directly. Keep simple present for general statement about the hobby.
× When I cycling, I feel happy.
✓ When I am cycling, I feel happy.
After 'When' use a clause with a verb: 'When I am cycling' (present continuous) is correct for habitual or general present actions. Alternatively 'When I cycle, I feel happy' is also correct.
× Yes, most of my family members like to watch movies and short videos during their free time.
✓ Yes, most of my family like to watch movies and short videos during their free time.
'Most of my family' is the more natural expression; 'members' is unnecessary. Both forms can work, but simplify to 'most of my family'. No tense change needed.
× So sometime I will join them to watch some Taiwan movies or the horror movies from.
✓ So sometimes I join them to watch Taiwanese movies or horror movies.
Use plural 'sometimes' not 'sometime'. For habitual action use present simple 'join' rather than 'will join'. 'Taiwanese movies' is the adjective form; remove the unnecessary 'the' before 'horror movies' and remove the dangling 'from' at the end.
