× ...as a hobby, I do like play, play cricket with friends whenever I get like free time.
✓ ...as a hobby, I do like playing cricket with friends whenever I get free time.
The verb 'like' when followed by another verb requires the -ing form ('playing') or 'to' infinitive; here the -ing form is natural. Remove repeated 'play' and filler 'like' for clarity.
× So, uh, in the weekend, whenever we get spare time, we join and play that.
✓ So, on the weekend, whenever we have spare time, we get together and play.
Use the preposition 'on' with 'the weekend' (or 'at the weekend' in some varieties). 'Have spare time' is more natural than 'get spare time'. 'Join and play that' is unclear; 'get together and play' is idiomatic.
× Yes, when I was a child I I was pretty fond of making drawings.
✓ Yes, when I was a child I was pretty fond of drawing.
'Fond of' should be followed by the -ing form 'drawing' (not 'making drawings'). Using 'drawing' is more concise and idiomatic.
× But growing older, you know, getting a lot of things in mind and slowly that hobbies went out and now as of now I like play cricket and do swimming and all these.
✓ But as I grew older and my mind filled with many things, those hobbies faded; now I like playing cricket and swimming.
Incorrect tense and pronoun agreement: use past 'grew' for growing older. 'That hobbies' is ungrammatical; use 'those hobbies'. Use -ing forms after 'like' ('playing', 'swimming'). Simplify and split long clauses for clarity.
× Well, apart from swimming, drawing and all these, I have, uh, you know, making friends and playing uh, guitar with them is one of my hobby, uh, from my childhood and still now I want to play that with friends whenever I get free or spare time.
✓ Well, apart from swimming and drawing, making friends and playing the guitar with them has been one of my hobbies since childhood, and I still like to play with friends whenever I have free time.
Subject-verb agreement and article use: 'is one of my hobby' should be 'has been one of my hobbies'. Use 'the guitar' and 'since childhood' for duration. Use 'have free time' not 'get free or spare time'.
× No is, uh, with, I don't have uh, same hobbies because my family members are of different age.
✓ No, I don't have the same hobbies because my family members are of different ages.
'Same hobbies' needs 'the' before it. 'Different age' should be plural 'different ages' to match 'family members'.
× So, umm, in uh, they have their own hobbies in their particular age.
✓ So they have their own hobbies appropriate to their age.
'In their particular age' is unnatural. Use 'appropriate to their age' or 'for their age'.
× So my mother is so old, so she like to listen, uh, listen to music and all this, but I don't like that.
✓ My mother is older, so she likes to listen to music, but I don't enjoy that.
Avoid 'so old' which is colloquial and possibly rude; use 'older' or 'older than me'. Subject-verb agreement: 'she likes'. 'I don't enjoy that' is more natural than 'I don't like that' in this context.
× I like play cricket as I am youth.
✓ I like playing cricket because I am young.
Use -ing after 'like' ('playing'). 'I am youth' is incorrect; use adjective 'young'. Also 'because' connects reason more clearly.
