× Yeah, I have many hobbies but playing football I like the most, so I usually play during my laser time with my friends and so that's the only hobby I have.
✓ Yeah, I have many hobbies, but I like playing football the most, so I usually play during my leisure time with my friends, and that's my main hobby.
Incorrect word choice 'laser' should be 'leisure'. Word order was awkward: 'playing football I like the most' should be 'I like playing football the most'. Combine clauses with commas and 'and' for clarity. Use present simple 'I usually play' and 'that's my main hobby' to match context. (Grammar problem type ID: 6)

✓ During my childhood, I had many hobbies like painting, cricket, football, and basketball, but painting was one of my favorite activities that I loved to do in my leisure time.
When referring to past period 'during my childhood', use past tense 'had', 'was', 'loved'. Correct article and noun agreement: 'one of the most favorite activity' should be 'one of my favorite activities'. Replace 'laser' with 'leisure'. Remove repetition and filler words for clarity.

× Right now I don't think so because hobbies change according to age so now I don't think so. I have the similar hobbies as compared to my childhood days. So as I already told you and right now I'm only having a hobby of playing football. So that's the thing.
✓ Right now I don't think so because hobbies change as you get older, so I don't think I have the same ones. I have similar hobbies compared to my childhood, but at the moment my only hobby is playing football.
Use consistent present simple/present continuous: 'I don't think' is correct; avoid 'I'm only having'—use 'my only hobby is'. 'Similar hobbies as compared to' should be 'similar hobbies compared to' or 'similar to'. Remove redundancy. Use 'as you get older' for natural expression. (Grammar problem type ID: 6)
× Uh I never, I think I never asked them about their hobbies. So they usually busy in their work as my father is a farmer so he didn't get any time for their hobbies. So uh and my mother was also a housewife so both of them are really busy so I don't think so I have like similar hobbies.
✓ I don't think I ever asked them about their hobbies. They are usually busy with their work; my father is a farmer, so he doesn't have time for hobbies. My mother is a housewife and is also very busy, so I don't think I have similar hobbies to theirs.
Use correct tense and pronouns: 'I never, I think I never asked' is awkward—use 'I don't think I ever asked'. 'They usually busy' needs the verb 'are busy'. Match pronouns and possessive forms: 'time for their hobbies' is acceptable but 'so he didn't get any time for their hobbies' mixes past and plural; use 'he doesn't have time for hobbies'. Use 'similar hobbies to theirs' for correct comparison. Maintain present tense for habitual statements. (Grammar problem type ID: 12)
