Hobby— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer more directly and avoid repetition: “Yes, I do” and “I have hobbies” express the same idea. Use correct subject–verb agreement and natural collocations: “One of my hobbies is,” “watching anime,” and “listening to classical music.” Add one specific reason or detail to make the answer more developed.

Example: Yes, I do. One of my main hobbies is watching anime, especially in my free time because I enjoy the imaginative stories. I also listen to classical music, which helps me relax after a busy day.

Suggestion: Use the past tense consistently because the question asks about childhood: “Yes, I did,” “I liked,” and “we liked.” Replace the awkward phrase “like for example” with “such as,” and avoid ending with “That’s all,” which sounds abrupt. Give a clear reason or a brief result to make the response more natural.

Example: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I loved playing outside with my brothers, sisters, and friends. We often played energetic games such as tag and dodgeball because we enjoyed being active and spending time together.

Suggestion: Clearly state that the hobby has continued from childhood to the present. Use the present perfect for an activity that started in the past and continues now: “I’ve enjoyed watching anime since I was a child.” Correct the tense and prepositions in “I used to watch anime on television” and “I watch it on my phone or laptop.” Avoid hesitation and explain briefly why you still enjoy it.

Example: Yes, I’ve enjoyed watching anime since I was a child. I used to watch it on television, but nowadays I usually watch it on my phone or laptop. I still enjoy it because anime has creative stories and interesting characters.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and improve the possessive form: “my brothers and sisters,” not “my brother’s and sisters.” Use a linking word such as “because” or “so” to connect the ideas, and add one specific detail about how you share this hobby, such as watching anime together or recommending shows to one another.

Example: Yes, I do. My brothers and sisters also enjoy watching anime, so we have a hobby in common. We sometimes recommend new series to one another and watch them together at the weekend.

× One of my hobbies are watching anime movies and listening to music.

✓ One of my hobbies is watching anime movies and listening to music.

The subject is one, which is singular, so it must be followed by the singular verb is, not are. Remember that in the structure one of + plural noun, the verb agrees with one.

× I like watching animes in my free time.

✓ I like watching anime in my free time.

Anime is generally used as an uncountable noun or as an adjective before another noun, so the plural form animes is not normally used here.

× I do love listening to music, for example I like listening classic music.

✓ I do love listening to music; for example, I like listening to classic music.

The verb listen requires the preposition to before the thing being heard: listen to music. Use listen to, not listen directly to the noun.

× I do love listening to music, for example I like listening classic music.

✓ I do love listening to music; for example, I like listening to classical music.

Classical describes music in the traditional Western musical style. Classic usually means famous, traditional, or highly respected, so classical music is the appropriate expression here.

× Yes, I do. When I was a child I like playing outside with my brothers and sisters and friends.

✓ Yes, I did. When I was a child, I liked playing outside with my brothers, sisters, and friends.

The question uses the past tense, so the short answer should be Yes, I did. The phrase when I was a child also refers to the past, so like should be changed to liked.

× We like to play physical games, like for example running or maybe playing dodgeball.

✓ We liked to play physical games, such as running or playing dodgeball.

This activity happened during the speaker's childhood, so the past-tense form liked is needed instead of like.

× I like watching anime movies in childhood and umm before I used to watch anime movies in the television, but right now I watched anime movies in my cell phone or laptop.

✓ I liked watching anime movies during my childhood, and before that, I used to watch anime movies on television, but right now I watch anime movies on my cell phone or laptop.

The first activity happened in the past, so liked is required. The phrase right now refers to the present, so watched must be changed to watch.

× I like watching anime movies in childhood and umm before I used to watch anime movies in the television, but right now I watched anime movies in my cell phone or laptop.

✓ I like watching anime movies during my childhood, and before that, I used to watch anime movies on television, but right now I watched anime movies on my cell phone or laptop.

Use during my childhood for a period of time, on television for watching television content, and on my cell phone or laptop for the device used to watch something.

× I like watching anime movies in childhood and umm before I used to watch anime movies in the television, but right now I watched anime movies in my cell phone or laptop.

✓ I like watching anime movies during my childhood, and before that, I used to watch anime movies on television, but right now I watch anime movies on my cell phone or laptop.

Right now signals the present tense. Therefore, use the base form watch, not the past-tense form watched.

× I like watching anime movies in childhood and umm before I used to watch anime movies in the television, but right now I watched anime movies in my cell phone or laptop.

✓ I like watching anime movies in childhood, and before that, I used to watch anime movies on television, but right now I watched anime movies on my cell phone or laptop.

The correct preposition for watching programs or films on television is on, not in. We also say watch something on a phone or laptop.

× Yes, my brother's and sisters like to watch anime movies so we have the same hobbies.

✓ Yes, my brothers and sisters like to watch anime movies, so we have the same hobbies.

Brothers and sisters refers to more than one brother or sister, so brothers must be plural. The apostrophe in brother's incorrectly indicates possession and should be removed.
