常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *"I like hobby"* instead of *"I like my hobby"* or *"I like this hobby"*. Remember that *hobby* is a countable noun, so you usually need *a*, *my*, *this*, or it should be plural (*hobbies*). Another common confusion is between *hobby* and *habit*: a *hobby* is something you do for pleasure, while a *habit* is something you do regularly, often without thinking, and it is not always enjoyable.
含义
regular activity for enjoyment

|develop a hobby
|take up a hobby
