Hobby— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and keep within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes. I have two hobbies: doing jigsaw puzzles and baking. I have enjoyed both since childhood because puzzles help me concentrate and baking allows me to be creative. For example, I often bake new cake recipes at weekends.

Suggestion: Use correct tense and clear vocabulary. Begin with a direct answer, then use linking words (for example, because, and) to give specific effects of each hobby. Correct word choice (e.g. 'since childhood' not 'since shallow') and sentence structure are important.

Example: Yes, I did. Since childhood I enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles and baking. Puzzles helped me think more clearly and relax, while baking was rewarding because I could experiment with flavours and share treats with my family.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use consistent tense (present perfect or present simple). Clarify unclear phrases (e.g. 'speaking' — public speaking?). Give specific examples and link ideas logically.

Example: Yes, I have had two hobbies since childhood: jigsaw puzzles and public speaking. I still do both regularly because puzzles improve my problem-solving skills and public speaking boosts my confidence; for example, I often give short talks at local clubs.

Suggestion: This answer is generally clear but can be more natural by using smoother linking phrases and correcting minor grammar (‘member to member’ → ‘from person to person’). Add a brief example to make it specific.

Example: To some extent, yes. A few family members enjoy baking like me, but others prefer different activities such as reading or gardening. For instance, my mother likes gardening while my sister often reads novels.

× Yes I do, I have two hobbies, the one is making jigsaw puzzles and the second is baking.

✓ Yes, I do. I have two hobbies: one is making jigsaw puzzles and the other is baking.

Use singular forms 'one' and 'the other' when distinguishing between two items; also punctuation improves clarity. 'The one' is less natural than 'one' or 'the first', and 'the second' should be 'the other' when referring to two items. Suggestion: use 'one... the other' for two items and add punctuation to separate clauses.

× I've been doing this too hobbies since childhood and I love them.

✓ I have had these two hobbies since childhood and I love them.

'I've been doing this' is awkward for hobbies; 'have had' describes possession since childhood. 'too' is wrong spelling for 'two' and 'this' should agree in number with 'hobbies' so 'these two hobbies' is correct. Suggestion: use 'have had' or 'have been ...ing' with the plural demonstrative 'these'.

× Since shallow, I have two hobbies, assembling the jigsaw puzzles and baking.

✓ Since childhood, I have two hobbies: assembling jigsaw puzzles and baking.

'Since shallow' is incorrect; correct phrase is 'since childhood'. Also remove 'the' before 'jigsaw puzzles' when speaking generally. Use colon to list hobbies. Suggestion: use 'since childhood' to indicate time from childhood.

× Assembling the jigsaw puzzles help me my to think clear, to calm my mind and to solve critically as well as baking is rewarding to me.

✓ Assembling jigsaw puzzles helps me to think clearly, calm my mind, and solve problems critically; baking is rewarding to me.

Subject 'Assembling jigsaw puzzles' is singular and requires 'helps'. 'Help me my to think clear' has word order and form errors: use 'helps me to think clearly'. 'Solve critically' should be 'solve problems critically'. Use parallel structure and appropriate adverb forms. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement and use adverbs ('clearly') and parallel verb forms.

× It makes me creative and calms and suits me.

✓ It makes me creative, calms me, and suits me well.

'Calms and suits me' is missing the object 'me' after 'calms'. Add 'well' to 'suits me' for natural phrasing. Maintain parallel structure. Suggestion: include the object for transitive verbs and use adverbs for completeness.

× I had two hobbies since childhood.

✓ I have had two hobbies since childhood.

Use present perfect 'have had' to describe a situation that began in the past and continues to the present. 'Had' (simple past) suggests the hobbies may no longer continue. Suggestion: use present perfect for actions or states from past until now.

× I love them since childhood and I still regularly perform them.

✓ I have loved them since childhood and I still regularly pursue these hobbies.

'Love' with 'since childhood' requires present perfect 'have loved'. 'Perform them' is odd for hobbies; use 'pursue' or 'do' hobbies. Suggestion: use correct tense for duration expressions and choose verbs that collocate with 'hobby'.

× Assembling jigsaw puzzles helps me think critically.

✓ Assembling jigsaw puzzles helps me think critically.

Original sentence is acceptable but verify 'helps' matches singular gerund subject. No change needed except confirming punctuation. Suggestion: keep 'helps' for singular gerund subjects; ensure complete sentence punctuation.

× Analyzing the problems help me think clearly as well as if you talk about big.

✓ Analyzing problems helps me think clearly, and I can discuss big issues confidently.

'Analyzing the problems' is a singular gerund phrase and needs 'helps'. Original also had unclear clause 'if you talk about big'—clarified to 'discuss big issues'. Suggestion: fix subject-verb agreement and clarify vague expressions.

× To some extent, yes. Some of my family members do have the same hobbies, such as baking, but most of them have different hobbies.

✓ To some extent, yes. Some of my family members have the same hobbies, such as baking, but most of them have different hobbies.

'Do have' is grammatically correct but unnecessary; simple present 'have' is more natural here. Suggestion: prefer simple present unless emphasizing contrast.

× Some of them like to read books, some of them like to do gardening.

✓ Some of them like to read books; others enjoy gardening.

'Do gardening' is unnatural; use 'enjoy gardening' or 'do gardening' is acceptable but 'enjoy' is more natural. Also use 'others' to avoid repetition. Suggestion: use collocations like 'enjoy gardening' and vary sentence structure.

× So it depends to member to member.

✓ So it depends from member to member.

Correct idiom is 'from member to member' or better 'from person to person'. 'Depends to' is incorrect preposition. Suggestion: use 'depends from...to...' or 'depends on the person' for clarity.
