How to ask others about their hobbies


●         What is your hobby?
●         What are your hobbies?
●         Do you have any hobbies?
You have probably seen these three questions in textbooks. The fact is, though, that the word “hobby” isn’t used very
much in conversational speech. Instead, you may be asked:
What do you do for fun?
What do you do in your spare/free time?
What do you do when you’re bored?
In order to tell others about your hobbies in English, you can use one of the grammatical structures below:

●         For example:


●  I like + to do something ●         I like watching movies.
●         I like + (verb + ing) ●         I like to play golf.
●         I enjoy doing something ●         I am keen on photography.
●         I am keen on something (British English) ●         I enjoy baking.
●         I am fond of something         I am fond of traveling
If you would like to say that you thoroughly enjoy doing something – that it is one of your favorite things – you can add
the word “really” after “I” (or the form of “to be” if this is used in the sentence).

For example: I really like playing tennis. We are really fond of skydiving.

Good Work Habits


Habits “ habit (or won’t) is a routine or behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur unconsciously.”

In your personal life, you most likely already know what your bad habits are. In your work life, it might be more difficult
to tell.

● You are a doer. You don’t procrastinate when you have deadlines looming. As a result, you are consistently
finishing projects and taking on new challenges. You don’t put off doing work because of fear of failing or a lack
of planning.
For example, Jane has a big presentation coming up in a month. She has set up a schedule for herself to
complete each step of what needs to be done. Each day she completes what needs to be done in order to have
her presentation ready. She has a good habit of following through and doing the work.

● You take responsibility and ownership of your work even when something goes wrong.
For example, Adam researched the data on a project the company he works for was doing. The company began
working on the project only to find the data was incorrect. Adam realized the mistake was his. He has a good
habit of taking responsibility for his work.
● You’re an active learner. You keep up with the latest trends and news in your niche. You get involved in projects
that help you learn new skills or technology.
For example, Michelle reads the latest news and trends in her niche every day before beginning her work. She
uses that knowledge to keep her business up to date and current. She volunteers to be a part of a project that is
testing new technology she is excited to learn. This shows her good habit of always learning.

● You’re organized. You keep your desk organized, you keep paperwork organized, and you have a system of doing
things.
For example, Lee is notorious for filing papers as soon as he finishes with them. He keeps his desk clean and
organized and the files on his computer are kept in well-labeled files. His good habit of being organized helps him
to be more efficient at his job.
