Hello, I'm Oli, welcome to Oxford Online English!
In this lesson, you can learn about how to talk about your free time and hobbies in English.
大家好，我是奧利，歡迎來到牛津在線英語。
在這節課上，你可以學到如何用英語談論你的業餘時間和興趣愛好。
What do you like doing in your free time?
Do you have any interesting hobbies?
你業餘時間喜歡做什麼？
你有什麼有意思的興趣愛好嗎？
Talking about your free time is a great way to start a conversation in English, or to find things in common when you're speaking to somebody.
By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to speak clearly and naturally about your free time and your hobbies in English.
談論業餘時間是用英語開啟一段對話或在和他人交談時找到共同點的好辦法。
這節課結束時，你就能用英語清楚又自然地談論你的業餘時間和愛好了。
Part one: free time and hobbies vocabulary.
What words do you know for free time activities in English?
第一部分：與空餘時間和愛好有關的詞彙。
你知道哪些與業餘活動有關的英語單詞？
Some people prefer things you can do at home, like watching TV, reading, or cooking.
Other people like sports, like playing football, playing basketball, playing tennis, going swimming, going jogging, or going climbing, or maybe doing boxing, doing judo, or doing yoga.
一些人更喜歡能在家裡做的事情，比如看電視、看書或下廚。
其他人喜歡運動，比如踢足球、打籃球、打網球、遊泳、慢跑或爬山、或者拳擊、柔道或瑜伽。
Of course, many people prefer more social activities, for example, hanging out with your friends, relaxing with your family, or going shopping.
Or maybe you like to do something more creative, like taking photos, painting, or writing stories or writing a blog.
當然了，很多人更喜歡偏社交性的活動，比如和朋友們出去玩，和家人一起放鬆，或者購物。
或者你可能喜歡做些更有創意的事情，比如攝影、繪畫或寫故事或寫博客。
What about you? What kind of free time activities do you prefer?
你呢？你更喜歡哪種業餘活動？
Let's look at how you can talk about free time activities and hobbies which you like.
Part two: what do you like doing?
我們來看看如何談論你喜歡的業餘活動和興趣愛好。
第二部分：你喜歡做什麼？
"In my free time, I like. . ." What could you say here?
「在我的業餘時間，我喜歡......」你在這裡的空白處能填上什麼呢？
"In my free time, I like playing basketball."
"In my free time, I like relaxing with my family."
「在我的業餘時間，我喜歡打籃球。」
「在我的業餘時間，我喜歡和我的家人一起放鬆。」
"In my free time, I like reading books."
Can you see a pattern here?
「在我的業餘時間，我喜歡看書。」
你看到了這裡的模式嗎？
In every sentence, after 'like, ' we use a verb plus "-ing".
Can you make a sentence?
在每個句子中，我們都在 "like" 後面用了動詞加 "-ing" 的形式。
你能造個句出來嗎？
What do you like doing in your free time?
But just using "like" can be repetitive and boring.
你在你的業餘時間喜歡做什麼？
但是只用 "like" 未免有些重複無聊。
So what other verbs can you use?
Well, you could use verbs like "love", "enjoy", or "hate".
那麼還能用什麼動詞呢？
你可以用 "love" 、"enjoy" 、"hate" 等動詞。
For example: "I love going swimming."
"I enjoy watching TV."
舉個例子：「我愛去遊泳。」
「我喜歡看電視。」
"I hate going shopping." Can you see the same pattern?
「我討厭逛街。」你看到了這同樣的模式嗎？
After all of these verbs, you need to use a verb with "-ing".
You can also add words like "really", "sometimes", or "absolutely", to make your meaning stronger or weaker.
在所有這些動詞後，你要用動詞的 "-ing" 形式。
你還可以加上像 "really" 、"sometimes" 、"absolutely" 這樣的詞來加強或減弱你的意思。
For example: "I really like taking photos." "Sometimes I enjoy going jogging."
舉個例子：「我非常喜歡拍照片。」「我有時候喜歡慢跑。」
"I absolutely hate playing football." Now it's your turn.
「我討厭透了踢足球。」現在輪到你了。
What can you say? Can you make your own sentences?
你能說什麼呢？你能自己造個句子出來嗎？
OK, so now you can say something about what you like or don't like doing.
Let's look at how you can add more details to your ideas.
好了，現在你會講自己喜歡或不喜歡做的事情了。
我們來看看怎麼給你的想法增加更多細節。
First, let's say how often you do your free time activity.
For example: "I like playing sport.
首先，我們來說說你做業餘活動的頻率。
舉個例子，「我喜歡做運動。
I play football every Tuesday evening."
"I absolutely hate going shopping.
我每個周二的傍晚都踢足球。」
「我討厭透了逛街。
I only go shopping once or twice a year." "I really like taking photos, but I don't get the chance to do it often."
我每年只逛一次或兩次街。」
「我非常喜歡拍照片，但是我沒有機會經常這麼做。」
What about you? How often do you do your hobbies?
你呢？你多長時間進行一次你的興趣愛好？
You can use these phrases to help you talk: "every. . ."
For example: "every weekend", "every Saturday afternoon", "every day".
你可以用下面這些短語助自己一臂之力："every..."。
舉個例子，「每周末」、「每個星期六下午」、「每天」。
"Once or twice a. . .", for example: "once a week", "twice a month", "three times a year", and so on.
Can you make some sentences like this about your free time and hobbies?
"once or twice a..."，舉個例子，「一周一次」、「一個月兩次」、「一年三次」等等。
你能造出一些像這樣的句子來描述你的業餘時間和興趣愛好嗎？
How often do you do your hobbies?
Next, let's add some details about where you do your hobby or free time activity.
你多長時間進行一次你的興趣愛好？
接下來我們增加一些細節描述你進行你的興趣愛好或業餘活動的地點。
For example: "I like playing sport.
I play football every Tuesday evening at the park near my house."
舉個例子，「我喜歡做運動。
我每周二的傍晚都在我家附近的公園踢足球。」
"I enjoy having coffee with my friends.
We go to a cafe in the city center once or twice a week."
「我喜歡跟我的朋友們一起喝咖啡。
我們一周去一兩次市中心的一家咖啡廳。」
"I really like taking wildlife photos in the forest, but I don't get the chance to do it often."
You can see that our answers are getting more detailed.
「我非常喜歡在森林中拍攝野生生物的照片，但是我沒有機會經常這麼做。」
你可以看到我們的回答正變得更加詳細。
When you speak, you should always try to add some details to your ideas like this.
It will make your English sound more interesting and more natural.
你在講話時應當經常像這樣試著往你的想法中增添些細節。
這會使你的英語聽起來更有趣，更自然。
What about you? Can you add some details like these to your sentences?
你呢？你能往你的句子裡加些像這樣的細節嗎？
Pause the video, practice. Try to make some sentences.
暫停視頻，練一練。試著造幾個句子。
Say them out loud, practice a little bit. OK.
Next, let's look at giving background information, especially if you have an interesting or an unusual hobby.
大聲把它們說出來，稍微練習一下。好了。
接下來我們看看給出背景信息，尤其是如果你有一個有趣或不同尋常的興趣愛好的話。
You can talk about when and why you started doing it.
For example, "I started playing tennis when I was 10."
你可以講講你什麼時候以及為什麼開始做這項活動。
舉個例子，「我十歲的時候開始打網球。」
"I've been learning to paint for six months now."
"I decided to do yoga because I wanted to be healthy."
「我現在學畫畫學了六個月了。」「我決定做瑜伽是因為我想變得健康。」
"My French friend got me into climbing."
In the last sentence, the phrase, "My friend got me into something," means that your friend introduced this activity to you, and now you like it.
「我的法國朋友讓我喜歡上了爬山。」
在最後一個句子中，"my friend got me into something" 這個短語的意思是你的朋友把這項活動介紹給你了，現在你喜歡上了它。
What can you say about your hobby?
Can you use some of these phrases to talk about yourself?
你對你的興趣愛好有什麼可說的？你能用這些短語來談論你自己嗎？
For example, "I started climbing when I was living in Russia.
I've been climbing for about eight years."
舉個例子，「我住在俄羅斯的時候開始爬山。
我已經爬了大概八年了。」
"I also recently decided to do yoga because I wanted to be more flexible."
"When I was younger, my dad got me into photography."
「我最近決定做瑜伽是因為我想讓我的身體變得更有柔韌性。」
「我小時候，我爸爸讓我喜歡上了攝影。」
What about you? What are your examples?
你呢？你有什麼例子？
Finally, let's look at how you can add some descriptive words to say why you do or don't enjoy something.
For example, "I like climbing because it's really exciting."
最後我們來看看如何添加些描述性文字來說明你為什麼喜歡或不喜歡某事。
舉個例子，「我喜歡爬山是因為它非常刺激。」
"I love doing yoga because it's so relaxing." "I really like writing stories because it's creative, and I like using my imagination."
「我愛做瑜伽是因為它非常放鬆。」「我非常喜歡寫故事，因為它很有創意，而且我喜歡運用自己的想像力。」
You can also use negative adjectives to talk about things you don't like.
For example, "I don't like going jogging because it's tiring."
你還可以使用負面形容詞來描述你不喜歡的事情。
舉個例子，「我不喜歡慢跑是因為它太累了。」
"I hate watching TV because I find it boring."
"I've been trying to learn to paint, but it's too hard."
「我討厭看電視，因為我覺得它很無聊。」
「我一直在試著學畫畫，但是太難了。」
Why do you like your hobbies?
What are some activities you don't like doing?
你為什麼喜歡你的興趣愛好？
你不喜歡做的活動有哪些？
Can you say why you don't like them?
Try to make some sentences and practice using this language.
你能說你為什麼不喜歡它們嗎？
試著造些句子並練習使用這門語言。
OK, now it's your turn to speak.
Let's try using everything we've looked at to make a longer answer.
好了，現在輪到你說了。
我們來試試把講過的內容都用上，寫一個比較長的回答。
For example, "I really like playing tennis.
I play every weekend at the park near my house.
比如，「我非常喜歡打網球。
我每周末都在我家附近的公園打網球。
Sometimes I play with my brother, or sometimes with a friend.
My brother got me into it because he loves sports, and he needed someone to play with.
有時候我和我哥哥一起打，有時候和朋友一起。
是我哥哥讓我喜歡上網球的，因為他喜歡運動，而且需要有人跟他一起。
I didn't like it at first because it was hard, and I lost all the time.
But now, I enjoy it, especially when I beat my brother."
我起初並不喜歡，因為它很難，而且我一直輸。
但是現在我很喜歡，尤其是我打敗我哥哥的時候。」
OK, let's do one more sample answer. "I love taking photos.
好了，我們再來看一個回答範例。「我愛拍照片。
Once or twice a month, I go to different areas of the city and look for interesting pictures to take.
I've been interested in photography since I was young, when my dad got me a camera for my birthday.
我每個月會去一兩次城裡的不同地區，尋找有趣的拍攝素材。
我從小就對攝影感興趣，那時我爸爸送了我一臺照相機作生日禮物。
I like it because it's creative, and I can express myself through my pictures.
Anyone can use a camera, but you need to use your imagination to find good pictures."
我喜歡它，因為它很有創意，而且我能通過我拍的照片表達自己。
任何人都會用照相機，但是你需要運用自己的想像力才能發現好照片。」
Now, can you talk about your free time? What do you like doing?
現在你能講一講你的業餘時間嗎？你喜歡幹什麼？
Where do you go, and how often? When did you start doing this hobby, and why?
你去哪兒？多長時間去一次？你什麼時候開始進行這項興趣愛好的？為什麼？
And, why do you like or, perhaps, dislike this activity?
Try to talk for at least 30 seconds.
還有，你為什麼喜歡或不喜歡這項活動？
試著至少講到30秒。
Give lots of details.
Add details to make your answer more interesting.
多給些細節。
增加細節讓你的回答更有趣。
OK, that's the end of the lesson. Thanks very much for watching.
