My Japanese lesson has an oral exam, the title is しゅみについて. Can anyone explain
what is the meaning of the title? Can I start the conversation with this?
しゅみについてどう思いか？

しゅみについて meaning
The title sounds like the exam is "about your hobbies".

It might be a good idea to begin by talking about your hobbies... or, perhaps,
by asking your conversation partner about their hobbies.

I would not recommend using "しゅうみについてどう思いか？", though. You might want to start
out by using something simple like: ＿＿さん／＿＿先生のしゅみはなんですか？

As @summea said, the title of the exam is "About your Hobbies". As you said
that it is an oral exam, I would expect your teacher to ask you questions
about your hobbies, such as 趣味【しゅみ】は何【なん】ですか? Or if you are the one asking
questions, you should ask questions like that. There are many appropriate
answers to questions of this sort, but they include:

  * 趣味【しゅみ】は **アニメを見【み】ること** です。
  * **本【ほん】を読【よ】むこと** が好【す】きです。

Most importantly, use what you've learned!

As an aside, しゅみについてどう思いか would be a strange thing to say, because a) it is
grammatically incorrect, and b) it is somewhat off-topic. The correct
grammatical form would be 趣味【しゅみ】についてどう思【おも】いますか, and that would be a bit
better, but I don't think "What do you think about hobbies?" is really the
question you want to be asking under these circumstances.
