hobby you describe – remember to use complex vocabulary.

I used to do it every day but now I only spend a few hours a week doing it.
I will never forget the first time I tried this.

With this topic you can choose any hobby but rememeber this is a ―would-like‖
question so you must focus on why you would like to do this in the future.
Uncommon Vocabulary

Grammar Point
You muse use conditional structures:
If I could choose any hobby, I guess I’d like to take up...
I suppose it would be quite fascinating.
I might have the chance to...
I’m not sure if I will actually be able to start doing this.
