Hobby— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and organized: start with a topic sentence listing your main hobbies, then give 1–2 brief specific details (how often, why you enjoy them). Avoid repetition (e.g., “I like to play” is vague). Use linking words to connect ideas.

Example: I have several hobbies: playing badminton, watching sitcoms and K-dramas, and going for walks. For example, I play badminton twice a week to stay fit, and on weekends I binge-watch sitcoms like Friends because they help me relax. Also, I usually walk in the park every morning to clear my mind.

Suggestion: Answer directly with correct tense and clearer wording. Start with a direct topic sentence (Yes/No), then give a specific supporting detail about a childhood activity using past tense. Avoid filler words like “honestly”.

Example: No, I didn’t have any specific hobbies as a child. However, I often rode bicycles with my friends after school, usually around the neighborhood, and we spent hours exploring nearby streets.

Suggestion: Be concise and use correct grammar: give a clear topic sentence and one specific supporting detail about when you started a hobby. Mention approximate time frames to add concreteness.

Example: No, I don’t have any hobbies from childhood. Most of my current hobbies are recent — for instance, I started playing badminton about two years ago and began watching K-dramas just last year.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer, then give a clear comparison and a specific example. Use correct names of shows and avoid unclear phrases like “25 Minutes of Friends.” Explain why you share this hobby to add depth.

Example: Yes, I share at least one hobby with my mother: we both enjoy watching TV series. For example, we often watch sitcoms such as Friends and How I Met Your Mother together, and we like them because of their humor and relatable characters.

× Yes I have hobbies.

✓ Yes, I have some hobbies.

The original sentence is grammatically acceptable but sounds more natural and complete with an article or quantifier; adding 'some' clarifies plurality and improves fluency. Suggestion: include 'some' or specify the hobbies (e.g. 'Yes, I have several hobbies').

× I like to play badminton, I like to binge watch sitcoms and K drama.

✓ I like playing badminton, and I like to binge-watch sitcoms and K-dramas.

Run-on sentence caused by comma splice; also verb form consistency and punctuation for compound nouns. Use a coordinating conjunction plus a comma or split into two sentences. Use 'playing' for parallel gerund structure and hyphenate 'binge-watch'; pluralize 'K-dramas'.

× I also like to walk and play.

✓ I also like walking and playing games.

The verb 'play' needs an object to be clear. Using gerunds for parallel structure clarifies activities. If 'play' means playing games, specify 'playing games'.

× Honestly no, I don't have any specific hobbies when I was a child but I remember having to like going for a bike with my friends.

✓ Honestly no, I didn't have any specific hobbies when I was a child, but I remember liking going for bike rides with my friends.

Tense inconsistency: 'don't have' is present while referring to childhood; should be past 'didn't have'. 'Having to like' is ungrammatical—use 'liking'. Also 'going for a bike' is incorrect collocation; use 'going for bike rides'. Add comma before 'but' for clarity.

× No, every hobby I have right now I just discovered a few months ago or few years ago.

✓ No, every hobby I have now I discovered only a few months ago or a few years ago.

Tense and adverb placement: use simple past 'discovered' for completed past actions. 'Right now' and 'just' conflict with past time; reposition 'now' and remove 'just' or use 'only' for emphasis. Include article 'a' before 'few years ago'.

× I don't have specific hobby when I was a child.

✓ I didn't have a specific hobby when I was a child.

Tense mismatch: 'don't have' is present but the time reference is past; use 'didn't have'. Also add the indefinite article 'a' before 'specific hobby'.

× Yes, actually my mom likes to watch series and I think we're kinda similar because I really like watching 25 Minutes of Friends or How I Met Your Mother.

✓ Yes, actually my mom likes watching series, and I think we're kind of similar because I really like watching 25-minute episodes of Friends or How I Met Your Mother.

Maintain parallel verb forms: 'likes watching' is more natural than 'likes to watch'. Replace informal 'kinda' with 'kind of' for spoken but appropriate register. '25 Minutes of Friends' is unclear—use '25-minute episodes' for clarity and hyphenate as a compound adjective. Add comma before 'and' to fix run-on sentence.
