Hobby— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Reduce hesitation and correct basic grammar; give a clear topic sentence then one or two supporting details. Use linking words and avoid repetition. For example, say you enjoy traveling, mention a specific reason, and add a brief example or future plan.

Ví dụ: I enjoy traveling because it lets me learn about different cultures and try new foods. For instance, I’ve visited 43 countries, and next year I plan to explore South America to experience its cuisine and landscapes.

Gợi ý: Organize response with a clear topic sentence and avoid filler words. Provide specific examples of activities and use linking words to connect ideas. Correct tense and article use (e.g., 'when I was a child').

Ví dụ: When I was a child I didn’t have formal hobbies; instead, I spent my time playing with friends and climbing trees. For example, every afternoon we would build small forts and play until sunset.

Gợi ý: Avoid repeating the same answer; give a concise topic sentence and then expand briefly with specific details or contrast. Use varied vocabulary (e.g., 'pastimes' or 'activities') and fewer hesitations.

Ví dụ: No, I don’t have a hobby I’ve kept since childhood. My childhood pastimes were informal — playing games with friends, climbing trees, and watching TV — but I didn’t pursue any one activity consistently into adulthood.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct answer, then give concise reasons with linking words. Correct plural and word forms (use 'traveling' not 'travelings') and avoid filler sounds. Be specific about family members’ preferences and financial concerns.

Ví dụ: No, I don’t share the same hobby with my family. Although I love traveling, my parents and sister prefer staying home because travel is expensive, so they prefer local activities like visiting nearby parks instead.

× Yes, of course I have uh, hobbies is and my hobbies is traveling because I like to travel around the world.

✓ Yes, of course I have hobbies, and my hobby is traveling because I like to travel around the world.

The speaker incorrectly uses plural verb forms with singular/plural noun mismatch: 'hobbies is' and 'my hobbies is' are wrong. Use 'hobbies' with a plural verb ('hobbies are') or change to singular 'hobby is'. Here 'my hobby is traveling' is appropriate because the speaker then describes a single activity. Suggestion: decide singular or plural and match the verb accordingly (subject-verb agreement).

× So yeah, I have visited 43 countries and I want to uh, visit more countries from now on.

✓ So yeah, I have visited 43 countries and I want to visit more countries from now on.

This sentence mainly contained filler words; grammatically it is acceptable to use present perfect 'have visited' to describe life experience. Removed unnecessary filler 'uh,'. No tense change needed. Suggestion: avoid fillers to make speech clearer.

× To be honest, when I was child, I didn't have any hobbies because I just, I just enjoyed my childhood and I just played with my friends.

✓ To be honest, when I was a child, I didn't have any hobbies because I just enjoyed my childhood and played with my friends.

Missing article 'a' before 'child' is incorrect; correct form is 'a child'. Also repetitive 'I just' can be reduced and verb tense consistent: use simple past 'played'. Suggestion: use 'when I was a child' and avoid unnecessary repetition.

× Uh, I climbed the trees and other things.

✓ I climbed trees and did other things.

Using the definite article 'the' before 'trees' implies specific trees; in child stories general action uses zero article: 'climbed trees'. Also 'and other things' is vague; better 'did other things'. Suggestion: drop 'the' for general activities and use clearer verbs.

× So I don't, I didn't have any hobbies.

✓ So I didn't have any hobbies.

Mixing present 'don't' with past 'didn't' is incorrect. The context is past, so use past only. Suggestion: maintain consistent tense: 'I didn't have any hobbies.'

× As I thought too, I, I didn't have any hobby because I enjoyed my childhood.

✓ As I thought, I didn't have any hobbies because I enjoyed my childhood.

'Any hobby' is acceptable but plural 'any hobbies' matches earlier references. Also remove redundant 'too' and duplicate 'I'. Suggestion: streamline sentence and keep plurality consistent.

× Like I just played with my friends and then I like I, I climbed the trees and I watched the television, something like that.

✓ I played with my friends, climbed trees and watched television, something like that.

Unnecessary filler 'I like I, I' and incorrect articles 'the television' and 'the trees' for general activities. Use simple past for sequence of childhood activities. Suggestion: remove fillers, use zero article for general nouns and simple past tense for past events.

× Umm, no, I love traveling, but my, my family, uh, doesn't have the same hobby because uh, travelings have to spend much money and my parents, my sister, uh, didn't want to spend much money for travel.

✓ No, I love traveling, but my family doesn't share the same hobby because traveling costs a lot of money and my parents and my sister don't want to spend much on travel.

Multiple pronoun and verb agreement issues: 'my family... doesn't have the same hobby' is acceptable but 'travelings have to spend much money' is ungrammatical. 'Traveling' is uncountable and takes singular verb; use 'costs a lot of money'. Tense inconsistency: speaker shifts to past 'didn't want' though this is a current preference, so use present 'don't want'. Also 'spend much money for travel' is awkward; use 'spend much on travel' or 'spend much money on travel'. Suggestion: use uncountable noun 'traveling', correct verb agreement, and consistent present tense for ongoing preferences.
