Examiner
Do you have a hobby that you've had since childhood?
Candidate
I would say the cooking is a hobby that I've had since I was a child. It started with my grandparents teaching me how to bake a cake until nowadays from with me trying new recipes and making pasta from scratch. So those good memories from childhood are still carried alongside of me.
Examiner
Do you have the same hobbies as your family members?
Candidate
Not really to be honest. Each one of us has a different personality trait which means there are interests and likes are not similar. For example, while like cooking, my brother enjoys playing soccer and my father likes playing video games, so we have very different interests.

× I'm really passionate about cooking and going to the gym since I was a child.
✓ I've been really passionate about cooking and going to the gym since I was a child.
Use present perfect for a state that began in the past and continues now. 'Since I was a child' requires 'have/has been' + past participle (been) rather than simple present 'I'm'. Suggestion: Use 'I've been' to link past start time to present continuing state.
× I do like experimenting new recipes and trying something new every time to impress my friends and I also like to exercise and have a fit and healthy body.
✓ I do like experimenting with new recipes and trying something new every time to impress my friends, and I also like exercising to stay fit and healthy.
After 'experiment' the preposition 'with' is required when talking about experimenting with something (preposition error combined). Use gerund 'exercising' rather than 'to exercise' for parallel structure. 'Have a fit and healthy body' is awkward; use 'stay fit and healthy'. Suggestion: Use 'experimenting with', keep parallel gerunds, and prefer 'stay fit and healthy'.
× I really enjoyed cooking with my grandparents when I was younger as my father of the My father was a Baker, we used to bake bread and also cake and spend the whole afternoon decorating them.
✓ I really enjoyed cooking with my grandparents when I was younger because my father was a baker; we used to bake bread and cakes and spend whole afternoons decorating them.
Sentence had repeated fragment and capitalization error. Use 'because' to explain reason, lowercase 'baker', pluralize 'cake' to 'cakes' to match meaning, and pluralize time expression to 'afternoons' for repeated habit. 'Used to' correctly indicates past habitual actions. Suggestion: Remove repetitions, fix capitalization, pluralize where appropriate, and use 'because'.
× I would say the cooking is a hobby that I've had since I was a child.
✓ I would say cooking is a hobby I've had since I was a child.
The article 'the' before 'cooking' is unnecessary when referring to the activity in general. Also 'that' can be omitted for conciseness. Maintain present perfect 'I've had' to show continuity. Suggestion: Remove unnecessary article and optional relative pronoun for more natural phrasing.
× It started with my grandparents teaching me how to bake a cake until nowadays from with me trying new recipes and making pasta from scratch.
✓ It started with my grandparents teaching me how to bake cakes, and continues nowadays with me trying new recipes and making pasta from scratch.
Original mixes prepositions and tenses incorrectly: 'until nowadays from with' is ungrammatical. Use 'started with' for origin and 'continues nowadays with' to show ongoing action. Pluralize 'cake' to 'cakes' for general activity. Suggestion: Use clear linking verbs 'started' and 'continues' and correct prepositions 'with'.
× So those good memories from childhood are still carried alongside of me.
✓ So those good memories from childhood still stay with me.
'Carried alongside of me' is unnatural; idiomatic English uses 'stay with me' or 'are still with me'. 'Alongside of' is incorrect here. Suggestion: Use idiomatic expressions like 'stay with me' to convey lasting memories.
× Each one of us has a different personality trait which means there are interests and likes are not similar.
✓ Each one of us has a different personality, which means our interests and preferences are not similar.
Redundant 'trait' and awkward clause structure. 'There are interests and likes are not similar' is ungrammatical. Use 'which means our interests and preferences are not similar' for clarity and correct pronoun agreement. Suggestion: Simplify to 'each one of us has a different personality' and use 'our' to show possession.
× For example, while like cooking, my brother enjoys playing soccer and my father likes playing video games, so we have very different interests.
✓ For example, while I like cooking, my brother enjoys playing soccer and my father likes playing video games, so we have very different interests.
Missing subject 'I' after 'while' makes the clause incorrect. Ensure the subordinate clause has a subject and verb: 'while I like cooking'. Suggestion: Add the subject 'I' to complete the clause and maintain parallel structure.
