You can add "really" or "quite" after "I'm..." for emphasis.

Talking about hobbies in more detail
You can give more information about your hobbies and interests:
"I like arts and crafts. I'm a creative / practical person, and like doing things with my hands."
"I'm an outgoing person, and like socialising / hanging out with friends."
"I enjoy being physically active, and spend a lot of time playing sports and team games."
Saying why you like your hobby
You can also explain why you spend time on your hobby to make the conversation longer and more interesting.
"I really enjoy going to the gym because..."
...it keeps me fit.
...it gets me out of the house, you know!
...it's sociable. I've met lots of new people.
...it gives me something interesting to do with my time.
...it's not very expensive, and anyone can do it!
"My hobbies are all creative..."
... I've always enjoyed painting and drawing.
... Because my job is technical, it's good to spend time doing something completely different.
... I enjoy spending time making things like clothes.
More words that you can use to describe your hobbies:

麻烦英语写完了=
=||里面一些我不会的单词我查了在线词典。真希望能在有人指导打情况下学英语，不过英语培训真的不是我想要的。好吧关于学习就到这吧
以下是关于生活的~
我可爱的老姐要我找个男朋友= =|||
于是对于我来说这个是比较难办的事情。
然后我忘记刚刚想写什么了= =|||
我自己虐出了个英文随笔给虐忘记了（囧）那英文随笔估计也是错漏百出的= =|||
明天生活还有继续~
所以也许明天我能想起来我之前想写什么吧~
这一周我比较颓废= =||
不过也干了些事情的。好吧这都是借口
不知道这周发生了什么
我姐居然和夕同一天生日这是几么神奇是事情啊~
我从来没记住过我姐的生日
我记得我老爸老妈的但是从来不记得我姐的。
希望因为这俩人同一天生日我同时能记住她们的生日。
这一周还有什么事呢，我姐天天加班，
周一我和小夜夜吃了个饭，她说要继续干现在这个忙死的工作。
她和我说过马上就要拿到她的会计证了，但是这个专业不是她喜欢的，
现在这个忙死的工作却是她感兴趣的，于是她想继续干，2年后争取去进修。
美好的想法，我也希望2年后我的理想能实现。
我真的希望能顺利去上海，不过真的打算11月才去。
这是平静的一周，我张罗出了个学英语的群里面却没人说话！
最近学习兴趣MS比较高涨，希望能坚持下去！
对了这周没怎么吃饭，由于我姐太忙，都没做饭。
所以天天吃粥····
