They're really not that picky. You could write "I give good oral" in skills.

just write about your hobbies briefly, keep the CV to a Page maybe a page and a half maximum as if its too long they will just leave it and go to the shorter ones, just explain you are looking for a job near to where you live, enjoy and get along with others.

I never put my hobbies on a CV. Most places don't like the idea of you having anything else to do other than work.
