Hobby— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be concise and correct grammar, use a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words, and add one specific detail with linking words. Also correct singular/plural and article errors (e.g., "one of my favorite hobbies").

Ejemplo: Yes. One of my favorite hobbies is working out and cycling. For example, I cycle 20–30 km most weekends during summer, but lately I exercise indoors because the winter weather in Canada has been severe.

Sugerencia: Structure the answer with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (possessive and tense), remove repetition, and give a specific example with linking words. Fix phrases like "one of my brother" → "one of my brothers" and "still hanged on there" → "still hanging there."

Ejemplo: Yes. As a child I enjoyed playing cricket and painting. For instance, one of my brothers gave me a set of paints for my birthday, and I painted landscapes that are still hanging on the wall at my parents’ house.

Sugerencia: Start with a direct topic sentence, use natural phrasing and linking words, correct awkward expressions ("in my school time" → "when I was at school"), and give a concise specific routine or frequency to strengthen the answer.

Ejemplo: Yes. I have played cricket since childhood. When I was at school I practiced regularly, and now I still play every summer with old friends whenever they are free; we usually meet at the school ground on weekends.

Sugerencia: Avoid repetition and improve grammar (articles, plural forms, verb agreement). Give a clear topic sentence and briefly compare hobbies using linking words like "however" or "while" and provide a concise example.

Ejemplo: Not really. While I prefer sports like cycling and cricket, my elder brother enjoys driving cars and motorbikes, and my mother likes cooking. For example, my brother often spends weekends test-driving vintage motorcycles, which is very different from my outdoor activities.

× One of my favorite hobby is working out and cycling.

✓ One of my favorite hobbies is working out and cycling.

'One of my favorite' requires a plural noun after it; 'hobby' should be plural 'hobbies' to match the structure. Suggestion: Use 'one of my favorite hobbies' when referring to a single item from a group.

× I do a lot of cycling on the weekends, especially on the summer.

✓ I do a lot of cycling on the weekends, especially in the summer.

Use 'in the summer' to refer to a season; 'on the summer' is incorrect. Also 'on the weekends' is acceptable in some varieties, but 'on weekends' or 'at the weekends' are alternatives. Suggestion: Use 'in' for seasons: 'in the summer'.

× As we all know, weather is harsh in Canada these days, so I avoid, uh, cycling.

✓ As we all know, the weather is harsh in Canada these days, so I avoid cycling.

Missing definite article 'the' before 'weather'. Also remove filler 'uh' and the comma before 'cycling'. Suggestion: Use 'the weather' when speaking generally about the weather in a place.

× One of my brother gifted me some paints on my birthday and that is how I got to know that I have a hobby of painting as well.

✓ One of my brothers gifted me some paints on my birthday, and that is how I discovered that I have a hobby for painting as well.

Singular/plural: 'One of my brother' should be 'One of my brothers'. 'Got to know' is informal and awkward here; 'discovered' or 'realized' fits better. 'Hobby of painting' -> 'hobby for painting' or 'interest in painting'. Suggestion: Use 'One of my brothers' and prefer 'discovered' for clarity.

× When I started painting after getting that gift from from my birthday and I made a few paintings which are still hanged on there.

✓ After I started painting following that birthday gift, I made a few paintings that are still hanging there.

Sentence is ungrammatical and has repetition 'from from'. 'Hanged' is incorrect for objects; use 'hanging'. 'On there' is awkward; use 'there'. Suggestion: Use clear clause order: 'After I started painting following that birthday gift, I made a few paintings that are still hanging there.'

× Yes, I do have a hobby of cricket as I was a child.

✓ Yes, I have had a hobby of cricket since I was a child.

Use 'since' with time point 'I was a child' to indicate from past until now. 'Do have' is unnecessary; 'have had' fits continuous possession from childhood. Alternatively: 'Yes, I have been interested in cricket since I was a child.' Suggestion: Use 'since' for starting points and 'have had' or 'have been' for ongoing states.

× I used to play a lot of cricket in my school time and after the school.

✓ I used to play a lot of cricket during my school years and after school.

'My school time' is unnatural; use 'my school years' or 'during school'. 'After the school' should be 'after school' without 'the'. Suggestion: Use 'during my school years' and 'after school'.

× So I still have that hobby and I play cricket during the summer.

✓ So I still have that hobby and I play cricket during the summer.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable; however, ensure consistency: 'in the summer' is also common. No correction needed other than optional change to 'in the summer'. Suggestion: Use either 'during the summer' or 'in the summer' consistently.

× Whenever my old friends are off from their work, we all get together and play cricket in school ground.

✓ Whenever my old friends are off work, we all get together and play cricket in the school ground.

'Off from their work' is awkward; 'off work' is idiomatic. 'School ground' usually takes 'the' as 'the school ground' or better 'the school playground' or 'the school field'. Suggestion: Say 'off work' and include 'the' before 'school ground' or use 'school field'.

× I do not think that I have same same hobbies as my family member as my elder brother love to drive different cars and different motorbikes which is completely different than my hobby.

✓ I do not think that I have the same hobbies as my family members, as my elder brother loves to drive different cars and motorbikes, which is completely different from my hobby.

Several issues: missing 'the' before 'same', duplicated 'same', 'family member' should be plural 'family members'. Subject-verb agreement: 'brother love' -> 'brother loves'. Use 'different from' rather than 'different than'. Suggestion: Use plural 'family members', add 'the', fix verb agreement, and use 'different from'.

× As my hobby is related to sports and my mother's hobby is cooking which is also completely different.

✓ My hobby is related to sports, and my mother's hobby is cooking, which is also completely different.

Sentence needs commas to separate clauses; otherwise grammar is acceptable. No major pronoun issue, but punctuation improves clarity. Suggestion: Add commas to separate clauses.

× So I do not think that we all have same hobbies.

✓ So I do not think that we all have the same hobbies.

Missing definite article 'the' before 'same hobbies'. Suggestion: Use 'the same hobbies' when comparing within a group.
