Point
Your main answer to the question, in one clear, direct sentence.
"I really enjoy anything that helps me slow down..."
Example
A real example from your life. This is what makes your answer sound like you, not a textbook.
"...especially long walks and cooking."
Explanation
Why it matters. The reason, result or opinion. This is where the marks are.
"I find it far more effective than scrolling on my phone."
Six ways to develop your point

Reason because
because it helps me switch off after work.
Example for example, like
I go swimming twice a week, for example.
Contrast but, although
I like the city, but it can be overwhelming.
Result so, which means
I work remotely, so I save a lot of time.
