Hobby— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct tense and articles, and add one specific detail using a linking word. Avoid redundant phrases like “I do have” and “used to” when speaking about current habits.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy listening to music in my free time. For example, I often listen to Punjabi songs because I like their lively rhythms and meaningful lyrics.

Sugerencia: Use past tense consistently and give one clear supporting detail. Start with a simple topic sentence about the past, then add specifics using a linking word. Remove filler words and repetition (e.g., "in the in the", "uh").

Ejemplo: When I was a child, I enjoyed playing sports. For example, I regularly played hockey and was a member of my school's football team, which helped me stay active and make friends.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and avoid repeating previous points. Use contrast linking words (e.g., "however", "but") to show change over time and correct verb forms and articles. Keep it within a few sentences.

Ejemplo: Not really; although I played football and hockey as a child, I no longer play sports. Instead, I now prefer listening to music and watching movies in my free time.

Sugerencia: Clarify meaning and use natural phrasing. Begin with a direct yes/no and add one specific detail using a linking word. Correct grammar (e.g., "older brother", "likes to watch") and avoid unclear phrases like "we are seeing."

Ejemplo: Yes. My older brother has similar hobbies; for instance, he also enjoys listening to music and watching movies, so we often discuss films and share playlists.

× I always used to listen music, for example Punjabi music.

✓ I used to listen to music, for example Punjabi music.

The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' before its object. Also 'always used to' is awkward; 'used to' alone expresses a past habitual action. Suggestion: use 'I used to listen to music' for past habits or 'I always listen to music' for present habits.

× When I was in my childhood, I think that I don't have that much hobbies.

✓ When I was a child, I don't think I had many hobbies.

Use 'a child' instead of 'in my childhood'. 'That much' is uncountable; for countable 'hobbies' use 'many'. Tense should reflect past: 'had' not 'have'. Suggestion: say 'When I was a child, I don't think I had many hobbies.'

× But yes, I do always try to play hockey and I was in the in the team of uh football in my school.

✓ But yes, I always tried to play hockey, and I was on the football team at my school.

Adverb placement: 'always' usually precedes the main verb in past simple: 'always tried'. Use 'on the team' or 'in the team' is acceptable but 'on the football team' is more natural. Use 'at my school' for location. Also remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: 'I always tried to play hockey, and I was on the football team at my school.'

× Not really, I don't have any hobby that I do have in my childhood.

✓ Not really, I don't have any hobby that I had in my childhood.

Tense should be past 'had' to refer to childhood. Also 'do have' is unnecessary. Suggestion: 'I don't have any hobby that I had in my childhood.'

× For example, I just mentioned that in my childhood I used to play football and hockey, but now I don't have that much interest in games.

✓ For example, I mentioned that in my childhood I used to play football and hockey, but now I don't have much interest in games.

Remove 'just' if not needed; 'used to' already indicates past habit. Use 'much' with uncountable 'interest' (not 'that much interest'). Suggestion: '...but now I don't have much interest in games.'

× I do only uh, have a hobby of listening music and watch movies.

✓ I only have the hobby of listening to music and watching movies.

Parallel structure required: 'listening to music and watching movies' both -ing forms. 'Listen' requires 'to'. Use 'only have the hobby of' or simply 'I only like listening to music and watching movies.' Suggestion: use parallel gerunds.

× Yes I do I have my elder brother and he is also same like me.

✓ Yes, I do. I have an elder brother and he is similar to me.

Sentence run-on: split into two. Use 'an elder brother' or 'my older brother'. 'Same like me' is incorrect; use 'similar to me' or 'the same as me'. Suggestion: 'He is similar to me' or 'He is the same as me.'

× He always used to listen music and always like watch movies and we are seeing.

✓ He always used to listen to music and liked watching movies, and we used to watch movies together.

'Listen' needs 'to'. Maintain past tense consistency: 'used to' and 'liked'. Use gerund 'watching' after 'liked'. 'We are seeing' is incorrect; use 'we used to watch' or 'we watched together'. Suggestion: 'We used to watch movies together.'
