Vocabulary Traps!

Trap 1: "My hobby is sleeping" ❌

Trap 2: Job vs. Work

Job is COUNTABLE (I have a good job).
Work is UNCOUNTABLE (I have a lot of work to do).
I have a lot of jobs to do today. ❌

No, Sovan! Remember Trap 2. "Work" is uncountable when talking about tasks. You should say: "I have a lot of work to do." If you want to use a plural word, say "I have many tasks to do." 📚

Yes, you technically can say "He took up smoking," but it is more common to use it for positive hobbies (like "took up tennis"). For bad habits, we usually just say "He started smoking." 🎾

Yes, exactly the same! You can say "In my free time..." or "In my spare time...". Both are perfectly natural for B2 speakers. ⏱️
