Hobby— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be concise, grammatically correct and avoid exaggeration. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb agreement, and give one or two specific details (when, how often, what you enjoy). Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have two main hobbies: skateboarding and playing the guitar. I usually practise guitar for about an hour every evening to learn new songs, and I go skateboarding three times a week at a local park because I enjoy the feeling of improving my tricks.

Gợi ý: Answer directly, use correct tense and grammar, and finish your thought. Provide specific examples of what you built and explain briefly why it helped your development. Use linking words like "for example" or "because" to connect reasons and examples.

Ví dụ: Yes, I used to enjoy building with Lego blocks because it expanded my imagination. For example, I often built cars, buildings and robots, which helped me learn problem-solving and creative design as a child.

Gợi ý: Be specific with ages and use consistent verb tenses. Start with a concise topic sentence, then add one or two specific details about how the hobby developed and what it means to you, using linking words such as "and now" or "because" correctly.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have played basketball since I was about seven or eight years old. I started practising with my dad and now I play regularly with friends at a community court, which has improved my teamwork and fitness.

Gợi ý: Keep answers natural and polite; avoid unclear names or phrases. Begin with a direct response, then briefly compare your hobbies with family members', giving specific examples and a reason why they differ. Use linking words like "however" or "while" to contrast.

Ví dụ: No, my hobbies are different from my family’s. While my siblings enjoy makeup, vlogging and cooking, I prefer music, skateboarding and building anime models, so we each have our own interests.

× Yes actually and my hobbies is skateboarding and playing the guitar.

✓ Yes, actually my hobbies are skateboarding and playing the guitar.

Subject 'hobbies' is plural, so the verb must be plural ('are' not 'is'). Also add a comma after 'Yes' for clarity. Suggestion: Match plural subjects with plural verbs; write 'my hobbies are'.

× Those are the two hobbies that I always do daily.

✓ Those are the two hobbies that I do every day.

The phrase 'always do daily' is redundant and awkward. Use 'every day' to express daily frequency. Maintain simple present tense for habitual actions. Suggestion: Use 'do every day' for routines.

× I play guitar at day and night and I skate day and night.

✓ I play the guitar day and night, and I skateboard day and night.

When referring to playing an instrument in general, use the definite article 'the guitar'. Use the verb 'skateboard' rather than 'skate' for the activity. Also 'at day and night' is unidiomatic; use 'day and night'. Suggestion: Use 'play the guitar' and 'skateboard' and 'day and night'.

× So basically I mastered both of them.

✓ So basically I have mastered both of them.

The present perfect 'have mastered' is appropriate to describe a skill acquired over time and still relevant now. Simple past 'mastered' can imply a finished action with no present relevance. Suggestion: Use present perfect for ongoing states: 'I have mastered'.

× Yes, my hobby was playing and building Lego blocks.

✓ Yes, my hobby was playing with and building Lego blocks.

Add preposition 'with' after 'playing' to indicate playing with Lego blocks. Tense 'was' is correct for a past hobby. Suggestion: Use 'playing with Lego blocks'.

× It expand my imagination by building what I can think of like cars, buildings and robots.

✓ It expanded my imagination by allowing me to build what I could think of, like cars, buildings, and robots.

'Expand' should be past tense 'expanded' to match 'was' earlier. Also rephrase for clarity: use 'allowing me to build' and 'could' for past ability. Add commas in list. Suggestion: Keep past tense consistent and use clearer verbs: 'expanded... by allowing me to build what I could think of'.

× It's actually fun to imagine that you can build the stuff that you imagined through your fantasies through your.

✓ It's actually fun to imagine that you can build the things you imagined in your fantasies.

The original sentence is repetitive and incomplete ('through your' at the end). Simplify structure: 'the things you imagined in your fantasies'. Suggestion: Remove redundancy and finish the thought: 'imagined in your fantasies'.

× Yes, actually there is a hobby that I have been doing since childhood and that is playing some basketball since I was 7 to 8 years old.

✓ Yes, actually there is a hobby that I have had since childhood: playing basketball since I was seven or eight years old.

Use 'have had' or 'have been doing' consistently; 'playing some basketball' is incorrect — 'playing basketball' is natural. Use 'seven or eight years old' instead of '7 to 8'. Use a colon to clarify. Maintain present perfect for ongoing hobby. Suggestion: 'I have had since childhood: playing basketball since I was seven or eight'.

× I was playing with my dad and now I played with my friends through some bigger leaps and it's actually a very wonderful experience as a teenager.

✓ I used to play with my dad, and now I play with my friends in more competitive games; it's been a wonderful experience as a teenager.

Mixing tenses ('was playing' then 'now I played') is incorrect. Use 'used to play' for past habitual action and 'now I play' for present. 'Through some bigger leaps' is unclear; replace with 'in more competitive games' or similar. Use present perfect 'has been' to describe an ongoing experience. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent and use clear phrases for comparison: 'used to... now I play... it's been...'.

× No Ashley because my siblings do different stuff like makeup, vlogs, cooking.

✓ No, Ashley; my siblings do different things like makeup, vlogging, and cooking.

Add a comma before the name for direct address. Use 'things' instead of 'stuff' for formality and consistency. Use noun forms 'vlogging' instead of 'vlogs'. Add Oxford comma for clarity. Suggestion: Address the examiner with a comma and use parallel noun forms: 'makeup, vlogging, and cooking'.

× They do their stuff and I do mine.

✓ They do their activities, and I do mine.

'Stuff' is informal and vague; 'activities' is clearer. Add conjunction punctuation. Suggestion: Use clearer vocabulary: 'activities'.

× So mine is music, sports and anime building.

✓ So mine are music, sports, and building anime models.

The subject 'mine' refers to plural hobbies, so use 'are' not 'is'. 'Anime building' is unclear; likely means 'building anime models' or 'creating anime figures'. Make items parallel noun phrases. Suggestion: Ensure subject-verb agreement and use clear, parallel noun phrases.

× That was their mind.

✓ That is how they think.

'That was their mind' is unnatural. Use 'That is how they think' to express that this reflects their preferences or mindset. Maintain present tense if referring to current attitudes. Suggestion: Use idiomatic expressions: 'That is how they think' or 'That's their preference'.
