Actually there's no such kind of hobby because when I was little I tend to play with my brother, so I was kind of like boyish girl. But since I grew up I tried to become more like girl, so my hobby has changed since then.

× My hobby is making baking sweets like muffins, pound cakes and cookies.
✓ My hobby is baking sweets like muffins, pound cakes and cookies.
The phrase 'making baking' uses two nouns/gerunds together incorrectly; remove redundant 'making'. Use 'baking' as the gerund to describe the hobby. Suggestion: Use a single gerund or noun phrase to describe activities (e.g., 'baking sweets').
× I like to bake them because I really love to eat them just because.
✓ I like to bake them because I really love to eat them.
The trailing 'just because' is redundant and informal, making the sentence awkward. Remove it for clarity. Suggestion: Avoid redundant phrases and keep the causal clause concise (e.g., 'because I really love to eat them').
× I'm catching insects was one of the hobbies I had in my childhood.
✓ Catching insects was one of the hobbies I had in my childhood.
Using 'I'm catching' mixes present continuous with past context. Use the gerund 'Catching' as the subject or past 'I used to catch insects.' Suggestion: For habits in the past, use past simple or 'used to' or a noun gerund as subject.
× In summer vacation I every day I went to a park to catch a lot of cicadas with my brother.
✓ During summer vacation I went to the park every day to catch a lot of cicadas with my brother.
Word order and prepositions are incorrect. Use 'During summer vacation' and 'every day' after the verb, and 'the park' if referring to a specific place. Suggestion: Place time expressions at start or after verb and use definite article for a specific park.
× It was very fun for me and it was kind of an adventure for me.
✓ It was very fun for me and kind of an adventure.
Repetition of 'for me' is unnecessary and wordy. Also 'very fun' is acceptable but 'really fun' or 'great fun' are more natural. Suggestion: Avoid repeating phrases; streamline to 'It was really fun and kind of an adventure.'
× Actually there's no such kind of hobby because when I was little I tend to play with my brother, so I was kind of like boyish girl.
✓ Actually there was no such hobby because when I was little I tended to play with my brother, so I was kind of a tomboy.
Tense mismatch: 'there's' (there is) is present but context is past; use past 'there was'. 'I tend to play' should be past 'I tended to play'. 'boyish girl' is unnatural; 'tomboy' is the correct noun. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent and use appropriate vocabulary.
× But since I grew up I tried to become more like girl, so my hobby has changed since then.
✓ But as I grew up I tried to become more like a girl, so my hobbies have changed since then.
Tense and article issues: 'since I grew up' or 'as I grew up' is fine; 'tried' is past but 'has changed since then' requires consistency — using 'have changed' for plural 'hobbies'. Also add article 'a girl'. Suggestion: Ensure subject-verb agreement and consistent tense and include necessary articles.
× Yes, baking sweets is not only me but also my mother's hobby.
✓ Yes, baking sweets is not only my hobby but also my mother's hobby.
Sentence structure is incorrect: 'not only me but also my mother's hobby' wrongly treats 'me' as parallel to 'my mother's hobby'. Make both items possessive or parallel: 'my hobby' and 'my mother's hobby'. Suggestion: Use parallel structures when listing subjects or possessors.
× So when I go back to my home, I often bake sweet with my mother and that's a good opportunity to have a communication with her.
✓ So when I go back home, I often bake sweets with my mother, and that's a good opportunity to communicate with her.
Use 'go back home' (no 'my'), plural 'sweets', and 'bake sweets with' (plural). 'have a communication' is unidiomatic; use 'communicate with' or 'have a conversation with'. Suggestion: Use natural collocations: 'go back home', 'bake sweets', 'have a conversation' or 'communicate'.
