Hobby— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Câu trả lời có nêu được sở thích là bơi lội, nhưng thiếu chủ ngữ và động từ chia đúng nên chưa tự nhiên. Hãy trả lời trực tiếp bằng “I enjoy…” hoặc “My hobby is…”, sau đó thêm một lý do cụ thể.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy swimming. It helps me relax and keeps me fit.

Gợi ý: Câu hỏi yêu cầu nói về sở thích trong quá khứ, nhưng câu trả lời dùng “like” ở hiện tại và cấu trúc “a swimming” không đúng. Hãy dùng “I liked…” hoặc “I used to…”, rồi nêu thời điểm hoặc tần suất cụ thể.

Ví dụ: Yes, I liked swimming when I was a child. I used to go to the pool with my family on weekends.

Gợi ý: Câu trả lời hiện chưa diễn đạt được ý và không trả lời rõ liệu bạn có duy trì sở thích đó từ nhỏ đến nay hay không. Hãy trả lời “Yes” hoặc “No”, dùng thì hiện tại hoàn thành như “I’ve been… since…”, rồi thêm một chi tiết ngắn.

Ví dụ: Yes, I’ve enjoyed swimming since I was a child. I still go swimming whenever I have free time.

Gợi ý: Câu trả lời chưa rõ nghĩa và chưa cho biết sở thích của bạn có giống với các thành viên trong gia đình hay không. Hãy nói rõ “Yes” hoặc “No”, nêu thành viên cụ thể và mô tả hoạt động gia đình cùng làm.

Ví dụ: Yes, my sister and I both enjoy swimming. We sometimes go to the pool together at the weekend.

× Is swimming.

✓ My hobby is swimming.

The answer is missing a subject, so it is not a complete sentence. Add a subject such as ‘my hobby’ to make the sentence complete.

× I like it a swimming.

✓ I liked swimming when I was a child.

The question asks about a past time, so use the past-tense verb ‘liked’ rather than ‘like’.

× I like it a swimming.

✓ I liked swimming when I was a child.

Do not use ‘a’ before ‘swimming’ when it is a gerund. Gerunds referring to activities are generally used without an article.

× I like it a swimming.

✓ I liked swimming when I was a child.

The pronoun ‘it’ is unnecessary here because ‘swimming’ directly names the activity being discussed.

× Eat a swimming.

✓ I enjoy swimming.

The response is not a complete sentence because it has no subject, and its verb construction does not express the intended hobby. Use a subject and a suitable verb, such as ‘I enjoy swimming.’

× Eat a swimming.

✓ I enjoy swimming.

The article ‘a’ is not used before ‘swimming’ when it refers to the activity. Say ‘enjoy swimming’ without an article.

× Eat a swimming.

✓ I enjoy swimming, just like my family members.

The response is incomplete and does not clearly answer whether the speaker shares hobbies with family members. Use a complete sentence that states the shared hobby.

× Eat a swimming.

✓ I enjoy swimming, just like my family members.

Do not put ‘a’ before ‘swimming’ when it names an activity. Use ‘enjoy swimming’ without an article.
