Do you have any hobbies?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Answer the question directly by saying which hobbies you have. Correct the grammar in “I have any hobbies” and use “unusual” instead of “not popular” if that is your meaning. Organize your ideas with linking words such as “for example” and “also,” and use natural expressions such as “dancing in high heels” and “pole dancing.” Give a brief reason or benefit, but avoid listing too many activities without explanation.
Ví dụ: Yes, I have a few hobbies, although some of them are quite unusual. I really enjoy playing chess because it helps me think strategically. I also like dancing in high heels and pole dancing, which are both fun and physically demanding. They help me stay fit and confident.
Did you have any hobbies when you were a child?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Use the past tense consistently because the question asks about childhood: say “I had” and “I played.” Use “played the piano” and “played the flute,” not “played on the piano” or “fluid.” Explain the connection between music and your education more clearly; “a diploma with honors” is more natural than “an education and red diplom.” Add one specific detail about how often you practiced or why you enjoyed music.
Ví dụ: Yes, music was my main hobby when I was a child. I learned to play the piano and the flute, and I practiced several times a week. I enjoyed it because it allowed me to express my feelings and develop my creativity. Later, I even graduated with a diploma with honors.
Do you have a hobby that you've had since childhood?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence and use past tense for childhood: “I started dancing when I was five.” Avoid repeating “ballet” and use “attended ballet classes” instead of “went to the ballet classes.” Contrast your past and present styles with “whereas” or “nowadays.” Add a reason why you have continued dancing to make the answer more developed and natural.
Ví dụ: Yes, dancing is a hobby I have had since childhood. I started ballet when I was five and attended classes for several years. Nowadays, I prefer dancing in high heels because it is more energetic and expressive. Although my style has changed, I still enjoy dancing for the same reason: it helps me feel confident and relaxed.
Do you have the same hobbies as your family members?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: The answer is incomplete, so finish your final idea and make the meaning clear. Say “My little brother and I both play chess” rather than “it is with my little brother,” and use “interested in playing” instead of “interested at the plane.” Explain why you enjoy playing together, perhaps by mentioning that chess is a good way to spend time together or that your brother is a challenging opponent. Keep the answer to three or four complete sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, my little brother and I share the same hobby: playing chess. We both enjoy it, and we are quite good at it. I especially like playing with him because he is a challenging opponent. Chess is also a great way for us to spend quality time together.
× Yes, I have any hobbies but it's not popular.
✓ Yes, I have some hobbies, but they aren't very popular.
In affirmative sentences, use some rather than any when referring to an unspecified positive quantity. Also, hobbies is plural, so the pronoun should be they, not it.
× Yes, I have any hobbies but it's not popular.
✓ Yes, I have some hobbies, but they aren't very popular.
The pronoun it refers to a singular noun, but hobbies is plural. Use they and the plural verb aren't.
× Also I love sports for example dancing high heels and on the pilon I think it's so healthy
✓ I also love sports, for example, dancing in high heels and pole dancing. I think these activities are very healthy.
Use in before high heels to describe the shoes someone is wearing. The phrase dancing high heels is missing the preposition in.
× Yes, I have a very important hobby when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I had a very important hobby when I was a child.
The time expression when I was a child refers to the past, so use the past-tense form had instead of the present-tense form have.
× I played on the piano and fluid and now I have an education and red diplom.
✓ I played the piano and flute, and now I have an education and a red diploma.
With the instrument piano, English normally uses play directly without on: play the piano. The same structure applies to play the flute.
× I played on the piano and fluid and now I have an education and red diplom.
✓ I played the piano and flute, and now I have an education and a red diploma.
The singular countable noun diploma needs an article. Use a because this is a general reference to one diploma.
× Yes, it's dancing I love dancing but in childhood I dance another style
✓ Yes, it's dancing. I love dancing, but in childhood I danced another style.
The phrase in childhood refers to a completed period in the past, so use the past tense danced rather than the present tense dance.
× Yes, it's dancing I love dancing but in childhood I dance another style for example when I was five years old I went to the ballet to the ballet classes and now I dance high heels.
✓ Yes, it's dancing. I love dancing, but in childhood I danced another style. For example, when I was five years old, I went to ballet classes, and now I dance in high heels.
Use in before high heels. Also, went to ballet classes is the natural prepositional expression; the repeated phrase to the ballet is unnecessary.
× Yes, and it is with my little brother.
✓ Yes, my little brother and I have the same hobbies.
The original sentence does not clearly express the relationship between the speaker and the brother. Use a complete subject and verb structure to answer the question directly.
× We both play chess very well and I'm really interested at the plane with him because Male is less and I'm very
✓ We both play chess very well, and I'm really interested in playing chess with him because he is younger than me, and I enjoy it very much.
The correct preposition after interested is in, not at. When a verb follows interested in, use its -ing form: interested in playing.
× We both play chess very well and I'm really interested at the plane with him because Male is less and I'm very
✓ We both play chess very well, and I'm really interested in playing chess with him because he is younger than me, and I enjoy it very much.
After the expression interested in, use a gerund, which is the verb ending in -ing. Therefore, use playing rather than the base form play.
