ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Talk About Hobbies in Easy English ｜What Do You Like to Do? ｜ Easy English Conversation

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Enjoy English Talks, where every conversation helps you learn.

I'm Judy.

Hello, Judy.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Jake.

How are you today, Judy?

I am great, thank you.

I started something new this month, painting.

I bought some brushes and colors.

Now I paint every Sunday morning.

Painting?

That sounds fun.

Do you paint flowers, mountains?

A little of everything.

Flowers, trees, the sky.

It is very relaxing.

It is my new hobby.

H-O-B-B-Y.

Hobby.

A hobby.

Something you do for fun in your free time.

Yes.

And you, Jake, what do you like to do in your free time?

Um, I like cook.

I like read.

I'm not sure how to say it correctly in English.

That is exactly our topic today.

How to talk about your hobbies.

What do you like to do?

Yes, I want to learn how to answer that question.

People always ask me and I never know how to say it right.

After today, you will answer it perfectly.

But first, we have a small request.

Yes, if you like our podcast, please click the like button.

Please subscribe to enjoy English Talks.

And share this episode with your friends and family.

Thank you.

It helps us so much.

We love our listeners.

Okay, now let's start.

When someone asks, what do you like to do, how do you answer?

You say, I like plus the verb with ing at the end.

ing at the end?

Yes.

Not I like cook, we say I like cooking.

Not I like read, we say I like reading.

Always add ing to the verb.

I like cooking.

I like reading.

Okay, that makes sense.

This is the basic pattern for talking about hobbies.

I like plus verb with ing.

Let me teach you some hobby words.

First, cooking.

You already know this one.

I like cooking.

It is my favorite hobby pasta, soup, chicken.

I cook every day after work.

Every day?

That is wonderful.

Next, reading.

R-E-A-D-I-N-G.

Reading.

Looking at books, stories, or articles.

I like reading.

I read before bed every night.

Novels, mostly.

Good.

Next, painting.

P-A-I-N-T-I-N-G.

Painting.

Making pictures with colors and a brush

that is my hobby i like painting well actually i don't

but i can say the sentence good practice next hiking h-i-k-i-n-g

hiking walking in nature in the mountains in the forest on

a trail i like hiking i walk in the park near my house on weekends beautiful next Gardening.

G-A-R-D-E-N-I-N-G.

Gardening.

Growing flowers and plants.

Um, I like looking at flowers, but I don't know how to grow them.

That is okay.

Not every hobby is for every person.

And last one, photography.

P-H-O-T-O-G-R-A-P-H-Y.

Photography.

Taking photos.

I like photography.

I take photos with my phone.

Sunsets, food, trees, especially food.

Especially food.

You cook it, then you photograph it. Of course.

First I cook, then I take a photo, then I eat.

Now there is another way to say the same thing.

Instead of I like cooking, you can also say I like to cook.

I like to cook.

Is that different?

No, same meaning.

I like cooking and I like to cook.

Both are correct.

100

Both mean the same thing.

101

So I can choose.

102

Yes, you can use either one.

103

I like reading before bed.

104

I like to read before bed.

105

Both are perfect.

106

I like reading before bed.

107

I like to read before bed.

108

They feel the same to me.

109

They are the same.

110

Two ways to say one thing.

111

Some people prefer one, some prefer the other.

112

But the meaning is always the same.

113

Good.

114

I don't need to worry about which one to use.

115

Exactly.

116

Let me give you more practice.

117

I say a hobby, you make a sentence.

118

Use I like to this time.

119

Okay.

120

Swimming.

121

I like to swim in the summer.

122

Cooking.

123

I like to cook new recipes on weekends.

124

Hiking.

125

I like to hike in the park near my house.

126

See?

127

Very natural.

128

You can switch between I like cooking and I like to cook, anytime.

129

Now, what if you really, really like something, more than just like?

130

Like a lot?

131

Yes.

132

We say I love plus verb with ing.

133

I love cooking.

134

That is stronger than I like cooking.

135

Much stronger.

136

I love cooking.

137

Yes, cooking isn't just something I like.

138

I love it.

139

And there's one more word.

140

Enjoy.

141

E-N-J-O-Y.

142

Enjoy.

143

It means I feel happy when I do it.

144

I enjoy hiking.

145

When I hike, I feel happy.

146

I enjoy hiking.

147

The feeling is the important part.

148

Yes, but be careful.

149

After enjoy, we always use ing.

150

Always.

151

I enjoy cooking, not I enjoy to cook.

152

Not I enjoy to cook.

153

No, never.

154

I enjoy cooking, with ing.

155

That's the rule for enjoy.

156

Like can use both.

157

I like cooking or I like to cook, but enjoy, only ing.

158

Enjoy is strict.

159

Only ing.

160

Got it.

161

So we have three levels.

162

I like cooking.

163

I love cooking.

164

I enjoy cooking.

165

Like is nice.

166

Love is strong.

167

Enjoy is about the happy feeling.

168

Three levels.

169

Like, love, enjoy.

170

I like that system.

171

Let me try all three.

172

I like swimming.

173

That's nice.

174

I love cooking.

175

That's very strong.

176

I enjoy hiking.

177

That makes me happy.

178

You got it.

179

Three ways to talk about things you like, each one with a different feeling.

180

Now, what about things you don't like to do?

181

Things I don't like.

182

Oh, there are many.

183

We say I don't like plus verb with ing.

184

I don't like running.

185

I don't like running.

186

True, my legs hurt every time.

187

And if you really, really don't like something, very strong feeling, we say I hate plus verb with ing.

188

Hate?

189

That sounds strong.

190

It is very strong.

191

I hate waking up early.

192

That means I really, really don't like it.

193

It's the opposite of love.

194

I hate waking up early.

195

I agree 100%.

196

But use hate carefully.

197

I don't like is softer.

198

I hate is very, very strong.

199

For most things, I don't like is enough.

200

So, I don't like cleaning is normal.

201

I hate cleaning is very strong.

202

Exactly.

203

Let me ask you, what don't you like to do?

204

Oh, where do I start?

205

I don't like cleaning my apartment.

206

I don't like ironing clothes.

207

I-R-O-N-I-N-G.

208

Ironing, making clothes flat and smooth with heat.

209

Good explanation, Jake.

210

Thank you.

211

And I really don't like waiting in line.

212

It's so boring.

213

Nobody likes waiting in line.

214

What about you?

215

Any hobbies you don't like?

216

I don't like drawing.

217

I'm terrible at it.

218

I draw a cat, and it looks like a potato.

219

A potato.

220

Well, drawing takes practice.

221

What about you, Judy?

222

What don't you like?

223

Honestly, I don't like cooking.

224

You don't like cooking, but I love cooking.

225

I know, and I love painting, but you don't like painting.

226

We are opposites.

227

Your love is my don't like, and my love is your don't like.

228

That is what makes conversations interesting.

229

When you talk about hobbies, you discover how people are different, and sometimes how they are the same.

230

Like us, we both like hiking and reading, but cooking and painting, total opposites.

231

Exactly.

232

That is why what do you like to do is such a good question.

233

You always learn something new about someone.

234

Now, let's learn how to ask about hobbies.

235

The most important question is, what do you like to do?

236

What do you like to do?

237

That is the big question.

238

Yes, and you can make it even better.

239

Add in your free time.

240

What do you like to do in your free time?

241

What do you like to do in your free time?

242

That sounds very natural, like a real conversation.

243

It is a real conversation question.

244

People ask this when they meet someone new, at a party, at school, at work.

245

It is a great way to get to know someone.

246

You can also ask about a specific hobby.

247

Do you like swimming?

248

The answer is simple.

249

Yes, I do.

250

Or no, I don't.

251

Short and clean.

252

Let me ask you some questions.

253

Do you like swimming?

254

Yes, I do.

255

I like swimming in the summer.

256

Do you like drawing?

257

No, I don't.

258

I'm terrible at drawing.

259

My cats look like potatoes.

260

Do you like photography?

261

Yes, I do.

262

I love taking photos with my phone.

263

Good.

264

Now you ask me.

265

Okay.

266

Judy, do you like gardening?

267

Yes, I do.

268

I love gardening.

269

I have small plants on my balcony.

270

B-A-L-C-O-N-Y.

271

Balcony.

272

The small outdoor space on your apartment.

273

Do you like cooking?

274

No, I don't.

275

Jake, I already told you.

276

Sorry, I forgot.

277

Do you like hiking?

278

Yes, I do.

279

I like hiking on weekends.

280

It's peaceful and beautiful.

281

One more.

282

Do you like watching movies?

283

Yes, I do.

284

I enjoy watching movies at home with popcorn.

285

What about you?

286

I like watching movies, too, especially action movies with popcorn, of course. Of course.

287

See?

288

We found something we both enjoy.

289

Movies, hiking, and reading.

290

Now, Jake, I want to hear your hoppy story.

291

Tell me about yourself.

292

use I like, I love, I enjoy, and I don't like.

293

All of them.

294

All of them?

295

Okay, let me try.

296

In my free time, I like doing many things.

297

I love cooking.

298

It's my number one hobby.

299

I cook every day after work.

300

I enjoy trying new recipes.

301

Last week, I made Thai curry for the first time.

302

It was spicy but delicious.

303

I like reading before bed, usually novels or short stories.

304

Sometimes I read for one hour, sometimes just ten minutes.

305

I like hiking on weekends.

306

The park near my house has a beautiful trail with tall trees.

307

When the weather is nice, I walk for two hours.

308

And I like taking photos with my phone.

309

I take photos of my food, sunsets, and flowers.

310

That is wonderful.

311

What about things you don't like?

312

I don't like running.

313

My legs always hurt after.

314

I don't like cleaning.

315

And I hate ironing.

316

I really, really hate ironing.

317

You used every form we learned.

318

Like, love, enjoy, don't like, and hate.

319

That was perfect.

320

Now you, Judy.

321

Okay.

322

I love painting.

323

It's my newest hobby.

324

Every Sunday morning, I paint with a cup of tea.

325

It's my favorite time.

326

I enjoy gardening.

327

My balcony has small flowers and herbs.

328

I like hiking on quiet trails.

329

And I like reading, especially before bed, just like you.

330

But I don't like cooking.

331

I eat very simple food, and I don't like waking up early.

332

I'm not a morning person.

333

We share hiking and reading, but cooking and painting, we are opposites.

334

Opposites in hobbies, but friends in English learning.

335

I like that, Judy.

336

Different hobbies, same love for learning.

337

Time for a quiz.

338

I will give you a sentence with a missing word.

339

What do you like to do?

372

What do you love?

373

What don't you like?

378

I enjoy reading.

379

I don't like cleaning.

380

I hate waking up early.

381

Five easy sentences that tell someone about you.

382

And next time someone asks, what do you like to do, you'll know exactly how to answer.

383

That's right.

384

You can also ask other people about their hobbies.

385

Do you like cooking?

386

What do you enjoy doing on weekends?

387

These questions start real conversations.

388

And when someone shares a hobby with you, ask more.

389

How often do you do it?

390

When did you start?

391

Those are wonderful follow-up questions, Jake.

392

Hobbies are the fastest way to make a new friend.

393

Because when you share your hobbies, you share a part of yourself.

394

I love that, Jake.

395

Okay, let's review.

396

Yes, let's see what we learned.

397

Today, we talked about hobbies and how to say what you like to do.

398

Yes, I like plus verb ing for things we enjoy or I like to plus verb.

399

Good.

400

And I love and I enjoy are stronger.

401

Enjoy always uses ing.

402

And I don't like for things we don't enjoy.

403

I hate for very strong feelings.

404

Perfect.

405
