Conversation in English and other languages

Present continuous

is back and forth, it's trading information and trading comments

Past simple

So, today someone asked me, "What are your hobbies?"

I thought of seven different ways that I could tell them what I really like to do.

I could also say, "I love, I love to play guitar."

or, "My favorite thing to do is to play guitar."

or, "I spend my free time playing guitar."

There's lots of ways to show that you take pleasure from doing something

And you can ask that person, "Do you play guitar?"

It is a way to find out whether someone else shares your same hobby

Also, it is a polite way to show you are pleased that they asked you about your self.

Because that's one of our favorite subjects is talking about ourselves or what we like to do.

You can practice these different ways of responding to a question

and if you are in an interview or some type of conversation with someone

varying the way you describe things you like to do can be very useful.

I love to play guitar. I also enjoy cooking.

For me, learning to cook something from a different culture is great fun

And my passion is for writing songs and teaching English

so you can link all of those positive statements together

to make a whole paragraph describing all the things that you like

the higher the chance the person you are speaking with

I tend to hang out with people who are interested in guitar or cooking

or traveling or writing songs or writing about English

The old phrase, "Birds of a feather, flock together."

an English phrase meaning people that share the same passions and hobbies and beliefs tend to associate together.

so for me, there's seven people that I know

with whom I make music so we call ourselves "The United Nations Band

because every one is from a different place

but we have that one thing in common and it's the music

These are all ways you can respond to the question

about your hobby or what interests you in a way that shows you listened

and shows that you have some great feeling, passion or love for the thing they asked about.
