Hobby— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is generally clear and relevant but slightly wordy and has some grammatical issues. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid unnecessary clauses, and keep it within 2–3 concise sentences. Use a linking phrase if you add a reason or detail, and provide one specific example of what you paint to make the answer more vivid.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy painting. Recently I have focused on watercolor landscapes and I practice several times a week to improve my technique.

Gợi ý: The idea is clear, but the sentence has grammatical errors and runs on. Use a clear past-tense topic sentence, correct verb forms, and one or two supporting details. Add a linking word to organize the ideas and a brief reason or example of what you enjoyed about singing.

Ví dụ: Yes, I used to love singing as a child. For example, I often imitated pop singers such as Selena Gomez and Lana Del Rey because I enjoyed copying their phrasing and style.

Gợi ý: Your response answers the question but feels unfocused and slightly repetitive. Start with a direct statement about whether you have a long-standing hobby, then briefly explain the current situation and frequency using correct expressions (e.g., "at least once a month"). Avoid filler words like "at all" and keep it to two sentences max.

Ví dụ: Yes, singing has been a hobby since childhood, but I don't have much time now. However, I try to sing at least once a month to keep my voice in shape.

Gợi ý: The answer communicates the idea but has repetition and grammatical errors. Give a direct topic sentence, then one clear reason with a linking word. Avoid repeating phrases and correct prepositions ("similar to"). You can add a brief example of an activity you do together to improve specificity.

Ví dụ: Yes, my hobbies are similar to my father's. For example, we both enjoy painting and sometimes paint together at weekends, which helps me learn from him.

× I have been interested in painting for quite some time, which means that I practice a lot and it became my hobby.

✓ I have been interested in painting for quite some time, which means that I practice a lot and it has become my hobby.

The sentence mixes present perfect continuous ('have been interested') and simple past ('became'), creating a tense inconsistency. Because the interest started in the past and continues to the present, use present perfect ('has become') to show a result that still holds. Suggestion: keep present perfect when linking past actions to the present (have/has + past participle).

× I remember that I was tend to sing whenever I had the chance and I was really into it and I loved imitating the famous singers like Selena Gomez, Lana Del Rey and it was my hobby as a child.

✓ I remember that I tended to sing whenever I had the chance; I was really into it and I loved imitating famous singers like Selena Gomez and Lana Del Rey — it was my hobby as a child.

The phrase 'was tend to' is incorrect; the correct past form is 'tended to' (verb + -ed). Also remove the extra article before names and fix run-on structure by using punctuation. Use 'tended to' for habitual past actions. Suggestion: use 'tend to' in present or 'tended to' for past habits, and separate clauses for clarity.

× Also, I do not have enough time for practicing my singing skills. I still try to find time for this at least once in a month in order not to lose my interest at all in this field.

✓ Also, I do not have enough time to practice my singing skills. I still try to find time for this at least once a month so as not to lose my interest in this field.

After 'time' the infinitive form 'to practice' is more natural than 'for practicing' (both possible but infinitive preferred here). 'At least once in a month' is unidiomatic; use 'at least once a month'. 'In order not to' is wordy; 'so as not to' or 'so I don't' are smoother. Suggestion: use 'to + verb' after expressions of time or intention and use common adverbial phrases like 'once a month'.

× I would say that my hobbies are quite similar with my father's. It is mainly because I resemble him not only in appearance but in our interest in in our character as well. So he is good at painting and singing, so do I.

✓ I would say that my hobbies are quite similar to my father's. It is mainly because I resemble him not only in appearance but also in character. He is good at painting and singing, and so am I.

Use 'similar to' rather than 'similar with' (preposition error). The phrase 'in our interest in in our character' is repetitive and ungrammatical; use 'also in character' or 'in our interests and character' depending on meaning. Finally, the tag question needs correct subject-verb agreement: 'so am I' (not 'so do I') because the verb is 'be' in 'he is'. Suggestion: use 'similar to', avoid repetition, and match the auxiliary verb in tag-like constructions (so + auxiliary + subject).
