Q1: What do you like doing in your free time?

I'm really into photography these days, especially street photography. I usually take my camera out on weekends and wander around the old streets near my neighbourhood. There's something fascinating about capturing a moment that's gone the second after it happens. I also enjoy hiking, but that's more of a seasonal thing for me — I mostly do it in spring and autumn.

📝 高分表达：be into（喜欢）比 like 更口语；wander around（闲逛）比 walk around 更有画面感；a seasonal thing（季节性活动）地道简洁。

Q2: How much free time do you usually have?

To be honest, not as much as I'd like. During the week, I work full-time, so I only have time for hobbies in the evenings — maybe an hour or two after dinner. Weekends are different; I try to protect Saturday afternoon for something I enjoy, whether it's photography, a long walk, or just catching up on reading. But weekends also get eaten up by chores and social plans.

📝 地道表达：not as much as I'd like（没有想的那么多）自然委婉；protect 作动词表示"留出时间"，非常地道；get eaten up by（被...占用）形象生动。

Q3: Do you prefer spending time alone or with others?

It really depends on the activity. When it comes to photography, I much prefer being alone — I need quiet and focus to notice interesting scenes. But for something like hiking or watching a film, I'd rather have a friend along. I think I need a good mix: enough solitude to recharge, but enough company to not feel isolated.

📝 高分结构：It depends on... 开头展示思辨；a good mix 比 both are good 更精炼；recharge（充电）是高频地道词。

Q4: Is there a hobby you'd like to take up in the future?

I've been meaning to try pottery for ages. I have this image of sitting at a wheel, hands covered in clay, completely lost in the process. It seems like the opposite of what I do at work, which is all screens and code. I've seen some great studios in the city, I just haven't got round to signing up for a class yet.

📝 高分表达：have been meaning to（一直想做）比 I want to 更自然；get round to（终于有空做）是地道英式表达；the opposite of what I do at work 把爱好和工作联系起来，回答有深度。

Q5: Did you have the same hobbies when you were a child?

Not really, no. When I was younger, I was obsessed with building model airplanes — I'd spend hours gluing tiny pieces together. I haven't touched a model kit in years, which is a bit of a shame. These days, my hobbies are more about getting out and being active rather than sitting at a desk. I think that's a natural shift as you get older.

📝 时间对比：When I was younger... These days... 是 Part 1 描述变化的经典结构；obsessed with（痴迷于）比 liked 更强烈生动。
