No, I don't think so. We do do not share the same hobbies, although we share some kind of habit like going for a walk after dinner and something, watching movies together and having dinner or lunch on any kind of me together. Those activities are more my family routine personal.
Do you have any hobbies?
Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Clarify and correct content and grammar, be concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence naming your hobbies, correct word choice (problems → hobbies), and use a linking phrase when explaining why you like one most. Limit to 2–4 sentences and avoid repetition.
Ví dụ: I have several hobbies, including dancing, cooking and reading, but dancing is my favourite. It relaxes me and calms me when I’m stressed because moving to music lifts my mood and helps me forget my worries.

× I have different problems like dancing, cooking, reading, getting but what I like the most is dancing.
✓ I have different hobbies like dancing, cooking, and reading, but what I like the most is dancing.
The word 'getting' is incorrect here; likely meant 'reading' continues the list. Also 'problems' is wrong in context; 'hobbies' fits the question. Use commas and 'and' to join list items. Ensure parallel noun forms in a list (dancing, cooking, reading).
× It helps me to get relaxed and calm whenever I was in distress it helps me a lot.
✓ It helps me relax and stay calm whenever I am in distress; it helps me a lot.
Tense inconsistency: 'was' (past) should be present 'am' to match general truth. Use infinitive vs bare infinitive: 'helps me relax' is natural. Also split run-on sentence with a semicolon or period for clarity.
× Yes, I started learning dance when I was a kid earlier.
✓ Yes, I started learning dance when I was a kid.
The adverb 'earlier' is redundant and awkward with 'when I was a kid.' Keep simple past 'started' and time expression 'when I was a kid.'
× I quite hate that hobby.
✓ I quite hated that hobby.
The student refers to a past feeling (as a child), so past tense 'hated' is required. 'Quite' is acceptable but note register: 'really disliked' is more natural.
× I don't like to dance.
✓ I didn't like to dance.
Context refers to childhood, so use past tense 'didn't' to match timeframe.
× My mom used to force me that you should do this,
✓ My mom used to force me, saying I should do it,
Reported speech needs rephrasing: 'used to force me' is fine; direct quote 'you should do this' should become reported 'saying I should do it.' Comma improves clarity.
× but as I grew up little younger I like that it really helps to make me calm.
✓ but as I grew up a little, I began to like it because it really helped calm me.
Mix of tenses: 'grew up' (past) requires past 'began to like' and 'helped' to describe past effect. 'Little younger' is ungrammatical; use 'a little' or 'a bit.' Use pronoun 'it' for the hobby.
× Yes I do, as a kid I really enjoy it, art and craft and I realize I still do like the paintings and handmade decoration wall handings and I find out that it is a way to relax myself and divert my mind.
✓ Yes I do. As a kid I really enjoyed arts and crafts, and I realize I still like paintings and handmade wall decorations. I find that it is a way to relax and distract my mind.
Tense consistency: childhood 'enjoyed' (past). Use plural 'arts and crafts.' 'Wall handings' is incorrect; 'wall decorations' is natural. 'Relax myself' is nonnative; use 'relax' and 'distract my mind.' Split into sentences for clarity.
× No, I don't think so. We do do not share the same hobbies, although we share some kind of habit like going for a walk after dinner and something, watching movies together and having dinner or lunch on any kind of me together.
✓ No, I don't think so. We do not share the same hobbies, although we share some habits like going for a walk after dinner, watching movies together, and having meals together.
Remove double auxiliary 'do do not' to 'do not.' 'Some kind of habit' is awkward; use 'some habits.' 'Having dinner or lunch on any kind of me together' is ungrammatical; replace with 'having meals together.' Use parallel gerund phrases in the list.
× Those activities are more my family routine personal.
✓ Those activities are more part of my family's routine.
Word order and choice are incorrect. Use possessive 'my family's routine' and 'part of' to express that activities belong to routine. 'Personal' is unnecessary and misplaced.
