Hobby— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Correct grammar (plural/singular) and simplify to be more natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give a brief detail. Use linking words like "also" or "sometimes" and avoid unnecessary words such as "when I have a time for myself."

Ejemplo: I enjoy drawing and sometimes play the piano. I draw mostly in the evenings to relax, and I also practice the piano once or twice a week to improve my skills.

Sugerencia: Be direct and specific about the hobby and give a short supporting detail. Avoid vague words like "probably" and redundant phrases like "back then." Use a topic sentence and then a reason or example with a linking word such as "because" or "so."

Ejemplo: As a child, I loved playing outside with my friends. I especially enjoyed football because it kept me active and helped me make friends in the neighborhood.

Sugerencia: Give a clear and confident answer. Fix grammar ("when I was seven years old"). Provide a brief supporting detail about how you kept the hobby and why it matters. Use linking words like "since" or "because."

Ejemplo: Yes, I have been drawing since I was seven years old because my parents encouraged me to sketch. Since then, I have kept a sketchbook and try to draw at least twice a week to improve.

Sugerencia: Use correct subject order and number words ("My two cousins and I"). Make the reason clearer and add a specific example of the shared hobby. Use a linking word like "because" or "so" to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: My two cousins and I share similar hobbies, such as drawing and playing music, because our grandfather taught us basic techniques. For example, he used to show us how to sketch portraits, which inspired all of us to practice together.

× My hobby are drawing and sometimes I'm playing piano when I have a time for myself.

✓ My hobbies are drawing, and sometimes I play the piano when I have time for myself.

The subject 'My hobby' is singular but refers to two activities, so use plural 'hobbies' (Grammar problem type 1). 'I'm playing' is an inappropriate progressive for habitual action; use simple present 'I play' (related to present tense but only correct changes permitted). 'piano' needs the definite article 'the' when referring to the instrument. 'a time' is incorrect; use 'time' without an article for general free time. Suggestion: say 'My hobbies are drawing, and sometimes I play the piano when I have time.'

× Probably it was playing when I was a kid back then.

✓ Probably I played when I was a kid.

The original uses 'it was playing' which incorrectly treats the hobby as an 'it' and uses past continuous unnecessarily. Use simple past 'I played' to describe a habitual past activity (Grammar problem type 5). Also 'back then' is redundant with 'when I was a kid'; remove one. Suggestion: 'Probably I played when I was a kid.'

× I could say it was drawing because when I was a seven years old, I guess.

✓ I would say it was drawing because I was seven years old, I guess.

'A seven years old' is incorrect: use 'seven years old' without 'a' or use 'a seven-year-old' as a noun phrase (Grammar problem type 1). 'I could say' is awkward for stating a preference; 'I would say' or 'I can say' fits better. Also simplify tense: 'I was seven years old' is correct. Suggestion: 'I would say it was drawing because I was seven years old.'

× Me and my 2 cousins have the same hobbies and I think we got it from our grandfather.

✓ My two cousins and I have the same hobbies, and I think we got them from our grandfather.

Use subject pronoun order and form: 'My two cousins and I' instead of 'Me and my 2 cousins' (Grammar problem type 12). Use 'two' in words in formal writing. 'Hobbies' is plural, so refer with plural pronoun 'them' not 'it' (also singular/plural issue but primarily pronoun misuse). 'Got' is acceptable past tense. Suggestion: 'My two cousins and I have the same hobbies, and I think we got them from our grandfather.'
