Default using 'enjoy'

I teach part-time at a JHS and I team teach with a Japanese. I constantly tell him that we don't use the word 'enjoy' as often as we would use 'have a good time' or 'like to.' It has been three years now and I just haven't had a strong enough arguement to convince him.

I can understand his point. My usual response is, 'Well, it's grammatical but we wouldn't say it like that." To which he always says, 'Why?'

Here's the situation. What would you do?

A: What did you during your spring vacation?
B: I enjoyed watching TV.
