People will be impressed if you state your level of expertise or actual 
achievements.  Not just I play violin, but I play in xxx orchestra or 
have played in xxx concert hall.  Not just I race karts at weekends, but 
I finished 3rd in the under 18 national championship.  Not just I write 
code, but I wrote code for a game/app that sold x million copies.

If you haven't got any achievements like that, then practise some more 
and push yourself to get some! (assuming you want to impress people)
