Hobbies Across the Week

Read a usual week

Sam wants to describe his hobbies. Use his usual routine below to choose accurate frequency phrases. This is a fictional regular schedule, not evidence from only one unusual week. Allow about 20 minutes.

Sam's hobby cards

Reading: every evening. Cycling: Tuesday and Saturday. Guitar: Friday. Painting: some Sundays, but not every Sunday. These written details repeat the four illustrated hobby cards.

Sam says: I always read in the evening. I cycle twice a week. I play the guitar once a week, on Friday. I sometimes paint on Sundays. I never swim. I am usually ready for my guitar lesson, but I am sometimes tired after work.

Check the meaning

Every evening describes a regular daily habit. Tuesday and Saturday means twice a week. One Friday session means once a week. Some Sundays means sometimes; it does not mean every Sunday. Words such as usually and often give broad meanings rather than exact percentages.

A short habits paragraph

Write about your own hobbies, or use Sam's routine. Use at least two frequency expressions. Compare the model for language and length; your own facts can differ. This is self-check writing, not automatic grading.

Practice only. Your writing stays on this page; it is not submitted or saved.

1. 1Write 20–30 words describing a usual hobby routine.
   Model answer and explanation

   I always read in the evening. I cycle twice a week and play the guitar on Fridays. I sometimes paint on Sundays.

The model has 22 words when contractions and ordinary words are counted as written. Self-check: Is my paragraph 20–30 words? Did I put an adverb before a main verb or after be? Did I use once or twice accurately? Did I avoid don't with never?

Say it naturally

Read your paragraph aloud. Then cover it and answer: How often do you do each hobby? Exact counts are useful when you know them. Use usually, often or sometimes when a broad description is more honest.
