Hobby— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and use a clear topic sentence followed by one or two specific details. Avoid redundancy (e.g., "leisure time" and "unwind and destress" overlap). Add a brief example or preference to make it more specific.

Exemplo: Yes — I enjoy reading novels and watching films in my free time. For example, I usually read contemporary fiction and stream independent films on weekends to relax after work.

Sugestão: Use past tense consistently and avoid repetition of phrases like "used to". Provide a concise topic sentence and one specific detail (what you drew and why).

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoyed drawing when I was a child. I often sketched cartoons and objects in my room, using bright colors because I loved experimenting with shading and shapes.

Sugestão: Make the response smoother and more grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, use present simple for habits, and give one concrete detail about materials or outcomes. Avoid awkward phrasing like "the hobby that I had mentioned of trying."

Exemplo: Yes, I still enjoy drawing and painting. I often use pastel crayons in my sketchbook because their soft texture helps me create smooth blends, which I find very calming.

Sugestão: Be more direct and use parallel structure. Start with a clear statement about similarity, then contrast briefly with linking words like "however". Be specific about what you and your family do.

Exemplo: I share hobbies with some family members, such as my cousins, but not with older relatives. For instance, my cousins and I like drawing, whereas most of my parents’ generation prefer travelling; I prefer staying home to read and relax.

× Whenever I get a free time, I used to draw cartoons or the things which are near in my room and used to draw several colors on it.

✓ Whenever I got free time, I used to draw cartoons or things that were near me in my room and used several colors on them.

Mixing present 'get' with past habitual 'used to' creates a tense inconsistency. Also 'a free time' is incorrect; use 'free time' without an article. 'Which are near in my room' is awkward; use 'that were near me in my room'. 'Draw several colors on it' should match plural 'cartoons' so use 'them'. Suggestion: keep past tense throughout when describing childhood habits: 'Whenever I got free time, I used to draw...'.

× When I was a child, I had a hobby of drawing.

✓ When I was a child, I had a hobby of drawing.

Sentence is grammatically acceptable but 'had a hobby of drawing' is slightly wordy; you can say 'my hobby was drawing' for a more natural phrasing. No tense error detected, retained meaning.

× Whenever I get a free time, I often read books and watch movies on various platforms to unwind and destress myself.

✓ Whenever I get free time, I often read books and watch movies on various platforms to unwind and destress myself.

'A free time' is incorrect; use 'free time' without an article. The present tense 'get' fits the context of current habits, so keep present tense. Removed the article to correct noun usage.

× Definitely yes, the hobby that I had mentioned of trying, I have it now as well.

✓ Definitely, the hobby I mentioned before I still have now.

Original sentence has awkward structure and unnecessary words like 'of trying' and 'I have it now as well'. Rephrase to a natural present-tense statement. Ensure clarity by using 'mentioned before' and 'I still have'.

× Whenever I get a free time, I draw or paint the sketchbooks using the pastel crayons.

✓ Whenever I get free time, I draw or paint in sketchbooks using pastel crayons.

'A free time' incorrect article removed. 'Paint the sketchbooks' is odd; use 'paint in sketchbooks' or 'paint sketches in sketchbooks'. 'The pastel crayons' should be 'pastel crayons' without the definite article because speaking generally.

× That helps me to see its smoothness which gives me calm and peace.

✓ That helps me appreciate the smoothness, which gives me calm and peace.

'Its smoothness' is unclear because the antecedent is vague; use 'the smoothness' to refer to the texture of the artwork or medium. 'Helps me to see' is awkward; 'helps me appreciate' is more natural. 'Gives me calm and peace' is acceptable, retained.

× Well, I would say that I had the same hobby as with my cousins but not with elder persons of my family.

✓ Well, I would say that I had the same hobby as my cousins, but not with the older members of my family.

'As with my cousins' is awkward; use 'as my cousins' for comparison. 'Elder persons of my family' is unnatural; use 'older members of my family'. Maintain past tense 'had' if referring to childhood; ensure parallel structure around 'but'.

× My family members prefer travelling as their hobby, but I prefer staying at home and enjoying and reading books.

✓ My family members prefer travelling as a hobby, but I prefer staying at home, relaxing, and reading books.

'Prefer travelling' is acceptable, but 'as their hobby' is wordy; 'as a hobby' is natural. 'Enjoying and reading books' is awkward coordination; specify 'relaxing, and reading books' to convey meaning clearly and use parallel gerunds.
