Hobby— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer the question more directly and avoid the unnecessary opening phrase. Correct the grammar and word choices: say “When I have free time, I usually train in track and field,” not “change for track and field.” Also, use “strength” rather than “our strengths,” and avoid the repetition and awkward punctuation in the final sentence. Add one specific detail explaining which event you practice or why you enjoy it.

Exemplo: My favorite hobby is track and field. Whenever I have free time, I train at the stadium for about two hours. I mainly practice sprinting because it helps me develop my explosive power and endurance. It is also a great way for me to relax and stay healthy.

Sugestão: The answer is relevant and has a clear reason, but it contains several fillers and does not clearly distinguish your childhood hobby from your current habit. Use the past tense consistently when discussing childhood, and add a specific memory or detail to make the answer more developed. You could also explain why swimming appealed to you as a child.

Exemplo: When I was a child, swimming was my favorite hobby. I preferred it to other sports because I enjoyed being in the water and learning new techniques. I used to swim several times a week at a local pool with my friends. I still enjoy swimming today because it makes me feel happy and reminds me of my childhood.

Sugestão: State clearly whether you still have this hobby, since that is the main point of the question. Correct the tense and phrasing: say “When I was a child, my favorite hobby was solving puzzles” and “number puzzles rather than jigsaw puzzles.” Avoid excessive fillers and incomplete sentences. Give a specific example of the type of puzzle you solve and explain how it helps you relax or improves your concentration.

Exemplo: Yes, I have enjoyed solving puzzles since I was a child. I used to prefer number puzzles, such as Sudoku, to jigsaw puzzles because I liked finding logical solutions. I still solve them in my free time, especially when I want to relax after a busy day. This hobby also helps me improve my concentration.

Sugestão: Give a direct answer at the beginning, such as “Yes, my mother and I share the same hobby.” Avoid repeated self-corrections and fillers. Correct the expressions “me and my mother,” “chain for,” and “for same hobby” by using “my mother and I,” “train in track and field,” and “share this hobby.” Explain one specific benefit of doing the activity together, such as encouraging each other or spending quality time together.

Exemplo: Yes, my mother and I share the same hobby: track and field. When we have free time, we usually train together at the stadium for about two hours. We encourage each other during practice, which makes the training more enjoyable. It is also a healthy way for us to spend quality time together.

× When I have a free time, I usually train for track and field for about two hours a day at the stadium.

✓ When I have free time, I usually train for track and field for about two hours a day at the stadium.

Free time is an uncountable expression, so it does not take the article a. Say have free time, not have a free time.

× It helps me improve my explosive power, endurance, and our strengths.

✓ It helps me improve my explosive power, endurance, and my strength.

The subject is me, so the possessive pronoun should be my, not our. Also, strength is used in the singular when referring to this general physical ability.

× It helps me improve my explosive power, endurance, and our strengths.

✓ It helps me improve my explosive power, endurance, and my strength.

The items in this list refer to general abilities. Using strength in the singular makes the list more natural and consistent with explosive power and endurance.

× It is really helpful for me to. Relax.

✓ It is really helpful for me to relax.

The infinitive phrase to relax must remain together. Do not place a full stop between to and relax. Also, relax should not be capitalized in the middle of a sentence.

× When I was a child, my favorite hobby is playing puzzles.

✓ When I was a child, my favorite hobby was playing puzzles.

The phrase when I was a child refers to the past, so the linking verb must also be in the past tense: was, not is.

× I prefer playing a number puzzles rather than playing jigsaw puzzles.

✓ I prefer playing number puzzles rather than playing jigsaw puzzles.

Number puzzles is a plural count noun used in a general sense, so it does not take the singular article a.

× I prefer playing a number puzzles rather than playing jigsaw puzzles.

✓ I prefer playing number puzzles rather than playing jigsaw puzzles.

The plural noun puzzles cannot be used with the singular article a. Remove a to form the correct plural expression number puzzles.

× It is really helpful, uh. Me, uh, to, uh, relax.

✓ It is really helpful for me to relax.

The words for me belong together as part of the infinitive structure for me to relax. The original sentence is fragmented and contains an unnecessary full stop.

× My mother and I, our favorite hobby, are track and field.

✓ My mother and I have track and field as our favorite hobby.

The original sentence has an unclear subject and incorrectly uses are with the singular activity track and field. The revised sentence clearly uses my mother and I as the subject and gives the sentence a correct structure.

× My mother and I, our favorite hobby, are track and field.

✓ My mother and I have track and field as our favorite hobby.

My mother and I is the correct subject form. The speaker should not use me in the subject position; use I after my mother.

× We enjoy spending time for same hobby.

✓ We enjoy spending time on the same hobby.

The usual preposition used with spend time when discussing an activity is on. The noun hobby also needs the definite article the because it refers to the specific hobby already mentioned.

× We enjoy spending time for same hobby.

✓ We enjoy spending time on the same hobby.

Same is normally used with the definite article the when referring to a specific previously mentioned thing. Say the same hobby.

× It is a really beneficial for our health.

✓ It is really beneficial for our health.

Beneficial is an adjective that follows the linking verb is directly. The article a cannot be placed before beneficial because there is no singular count noun after it.

× It is a really beneficial for our health.

✓ It is really beneficial for our health.

The article a is unnecessary before the adjective beneficial. If you use a noun, say it is a real benefit for our health; with beneficial, omit a.
