Hobby— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer the question directly by naming your hobbies. Avoid the unnatural phrase “go to my favorite sitcom”; say “watch my favorite sitcom” instead. Also, “chill out” and “sit down” are somewhat repetitive, so use a clearer structure and add one specific reason or detail. Keep the answer to two or three well-connected sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I have a few hobbies. In my free time, I like watching my favorite sitcoms because they help me relax, and I sometimes draw or paint with pastel pencils. It is a creative way to spend my leisure time.

Sugestão: Use the past tense consistently: “used to play,” “we tried,” and “I was.” The phrase “We try to. Running competition” is incomplete and unclear; say “We used to have running competitions.” Answer directly and organize the ideas with a linking word such as “especially” or “because.” Give one specific detail about where or how you played.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I used to play with my friends in a nearby valley, and we often organized running competitions. I really enjoyed them because I was usually the fastest runner and often won.

Sugestão: Make the main hobby clear and use accurate grammar. “Group leading” and “do a sprints” are unnatural; you may mean “leading groups” and “doing sprints.” Explain the connection between your childhood hobby and your current work. Use present perfect or “have continued” to show that the hobby started in childhood and continues now.

Exemplo: Yes. I have enjoyed running since I was a child, and I have continued doing it as an adult. I now work as a track-and-field coach in Springfield, so I also help young athletes improve their sprinting skills.

Sugestão: The answer is relevant and includes clear examples of each family member’s interests. However, “we are four different friends among a family” is incorrect; say “we are a family of four, but we have different hobbies.” Correct subject-verb agreement: “my sister likes,” “my mom listens,” and “my dad prefers.” Use linking words and separate the long list into two sentences for greater clarity.

Exemplo: No, we have different hobbies even though we are a family of four. I enjoy watching sitcoms, while my sister likes reading books. My mother listens to her favorite music, and my father prefers listening to podcasts.

× Yes, I usually like to group leading.

✓ Yes, I usually like leading groups.

After like, a gerund can be used to describe an activity: like leading. Also, groups is the correct object because the speaker leads more than one group. The original phrase group leading uses the words in the wrong order.

× We try to.

✓ We tried running competitions.

The question asks about hobbies in the past, so try must be changed to the past tense tried. The correction also completes the idea by stating what the student tried to do.

× Running competition

✓ We tried running competitions.

Running competition is not a complete sentence because it does not have a subject and a finite verb. Use a complete clause such as We tried running competitions. The noun competition is also made plural because the student is referring to competitions in general.

× Running competition

✓ We tried running competitions.

When referring to competitions in general, use the plural noun competitions rather than the singular form competition without an article. The plural form is also consistent with the meaning of repeated activities.

× Then I like to do a sprints and now I am a track and field coach in Springfield.

✓ Then I like to do sprints, and now I am a track and field coach in Springfield.

Sprints is plural, so it cannot be preceded by the singular article a. Remove a and use do sprints. Remember that a or an can only be used with a singular countable noun.

× No, we are four different friends among a family.

✓ No, there are four different people in my family.

Use there are to introduce the number of people who exist in a group. In my family is the natural expression for describing family membership; among a family is not used in this context. There are agrees with the plural noun people.

× My sister like to read books.

✓ My sister likes to read books.

My sister is a third-person singular subject, so the present-tense verb must end in -s: likes. Use the base form like only with I, you, we, and they.

× My mom always listen to her favorite music.

✓ My mom always listens to her favorite music.

My mom is a third-person singular subject. Therefore, the present-tense verb listen must be changed to listens. The adverb always is correctly placed before the main verb.

× My dad prefer to listen to podcasts.

✓ My dad prefers to listen to podcasts.

My dad is a third-person singular subject, so prefer needs the third-person singular ending -s: prefers. After prefers, the infinitive to listen is correctly used.
