Hobby— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct small grammar errors (e.g., "run a marathon", "hope to run a marathon"). Limit to a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Use a linking word to connect ideas and avoid listing too many genres without comment.

Ejemplo: Yes — I enjoy running and reading. I plan to run a marathon next year, so I train three times a week, and I read mainly short stories and poetry because they fit my commute. Therefore, these hobbies help me relax and keep fit.

Sugerencia: Correct tense consistency and phrasing (use past tense: "I liked" not "I also like"). Remove redundant sentences and clarify uncertain statements (avoid "I'm not sure if I'd call them hobbies"). Provide one or two concrete details (when, how often, or a memory) linked with a cohesive connector.

Ejemplo: Yes, I liked running with my dad and swimming in the pool or at the beach when I was a child. For example, we ran in the park every weekend, and summer swimming lessons were part of my routine, which made those activities an important part of my childhood.

Sugerencia: Reduce hesitation (remove "uh") and correct mistakes ("I called into later" should be "I took it up later"; "dad friends" → "my dad's friends"). Keep sentences clear and within five sentences, and use linking words (e.g., "however", "also") to show contrast or addition. Give one specific detail about current practice frequency or an example.

Ejemplo: Yes — I have had several hobbies since childhood. For instance, I have always loved reading short stories, and I still go running with my dad in the park every weekend. I also took up chess later on and now regularly play online with my dad's friends.

Sugerencia: Fix grammatical and awkward phrasing (e.g., "and you're running" → "such as running with my dad"). Avoid repetition by not restating previous answers; instead give one specific example and explain briefly why you share the hobby. Use a linking word like "for example" correctly.

Ejemplo: Yes, I share a few hobbies with my family. For example, I run with my dad because we trained together when I was young, and my mother encouraged my love of reading, so we often recommend books to each other.

× I really enjoy running and I'm hoping to run with a marathon next year.

✓ I really enjoy running and I'm hoping to run a marathon next year.

The phrase 'run with a marathon' is incorrect. Use the gerund 'running a marathon' or the infinitive 'to run a marathon'. Here 'run a marathon' correctly expresses participating in that event; remove 'with'. Suggestion: 'I'm hoping to run a marathon next year.'

× I also like reading, especially short stories, poetry, novels and essays.

✓ I also like reading, especially short stories, poetry, novels, and essays.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable, but add a comma before 'and' in a list (Oxford comma) for clarity. No change in preposition required; keep items parallel.'

× I used to enjoy running with my dad and I also like swimming either in the pool or in the beach.

✓ I used to enjoy running with my dad and I also liked swimming either in the pool or at the beach.

When referring to beaches use the preposition 'at' rather than 'in'. Also maintain past-tense consistency: 'used to' pairs with 'liked' rather than present 'like' when describing childhood activities. Suggestion: '...I also liked swimming either in the pool or at the beach.'

× I'm not sure if I'd call them hobbies or just activities.

✓ I'm not sure if I'd call them hobbies or just activities.

This sentence is correct and appropriately structured; no grammatical correction needed. Keep as is.'

× I enjoyed it, but there they were a big part of my childhood.

✓ I enjoyed them, and they were a big part of my childhood.

The original has incorrect reference and word order: 'it' should be 'them' to refer to multiple activities, and 'there they were a big part' is ungrammatical. Use 'they were a big part' or 'they were an important part' for clarity. Suggestion: 'I enjoyed them, and they were a big part of my childhood.'

× I have had a few hobbies uh, since childhood.

✓ I have had a few hobbies since childhood.

Remove filler 'uh' in formal responses. The present perfect 'have had' is correct to show continuation from past to present. No tense change required.'

× I've always enjoyed reading short stories and I used to go running with my dad around the park, which I still do uh nowadays.

✓ I've always enjoyed reading short stories, and I used to go running with my dad around the park, which I still do nowadays.

Remove filler 'uh'. Add comma before 'and' to separate clauses. The tense 'used to' (past habit) followed by 'which I still do nowadays' is acceptable: keep 'used to go' for past habit and 'I still do' for present continuation. Suggestion: '...which I still do nowadays.'

× I also like playing chess, I didn't play it much when I was younger but I called into later and now I really enjoy playing with my dad friends online.

✓ I also like playing chess. I didn't play it much when I was younger, but I took it up later, and now I really enjoy playing online with my dad's friends.

Multiple issues: sentence run-on corrected by separating into sentences. 'Called into later' is incorrect phrase; correct is 'took it up later' (started the hobby later). 'Dad friends' needs possessive: 'dad's friends'. Also order 'playing online with my dad's friends' is more natural. Maintain past tense 'didn't play' and present 'now I enjoy'.

× I think I share some of them for example and you're running with my dad and we used to run together as I said before.

✓ I think I share some of them, for example running with my dad — we used to run together, as I said before.

Original has incorrect fragments and 'you're running with my dad' is wrong person/tense. It should be 'for example running with my dad' or 'for example, running with my dad' to show shared hobby. Use past tense 'we used to run together' to match earlier reference. Punctuation and clause structure fixed.'

× Also my mom really encouraged me to read since it's a hobby she enjoys too.

✓ Also, my mom really encouraged me to read, since it's a hobby she enjoys too.

Add comma after introductory 'Also' and before 'since' for clarity. Tenses are appropriate: 'encouraged' (past) explains earlier influence, and 'it's' (present) states her current enjoyment. No major correction besides punctuation.'
