Parks— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more consistent with tense and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct factual phrasing (e.g., use past tense for childhood).

Example: Yes, I enjoyed going to parks when I was a child in Beijing. For example, I often visited the Diamond Palace, an imperial park that used to be open only to members of the royal family, and I loved exploring its gardens and pavilions.

Suggestion: Avoid repeating phrases like "I love" and pay attention to verb tenses and articles. Start with one clear sentence about current habit, then add specific frequency and a brief reason using a linking word.

Example: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks nowadays. For instance, I visit Shakespeare Park at least twice a week because it has pleasant walking paths and a quiet pond where I can relax.

Suggestion: Clarify your ideas and correct misused words (e.g., 'whether' and 'weather' are incorrect). Use linking words to explain reasons and be specific about which parks and why distance is a problem. Keep answers concise.

Example: Yes, I would like more parks in Auckland, especially larger regional parks. For example, I would love to visit the nearby Waitakere Regional Park, but it is quite far from the city centre, so I rarely go there unless I have a car.

Suggestion: Be specific about the park name and location and avoid vague phrases. Use linking words to explain why you want to visit and include one concrete detail from your reading. Correct word choice (e.g., 'seen this park' not 'part').

Example: Yes, I would like to visit West Lake Park in Hanoi in the future. I read about its lakeside scenery and historic temples, so I think it would be wonderful to walk along the water and see the traditional architecture in person.

× Yes, I love to go to parks as a child in Beijing.

✓ Yes, I loved going to parks as a child in Beijing.

The question asks about past habit (as a child). The original uses present simple 'love' which mismatches time. Use past simple 'loved' and 'going' (gerund) to express habitual action in the past. Suggestion: use past tense for past time expressions (as a child).

× As a kid, I love to go to the Diamond Palace.

✓ As a kid, I loved going to the Diamond Palace.

Same issue: 'As a kid' indicates past time, so present simple 'love' is incorrect. Change to past simple 'loved' and use 'going' for habitual past actions. Also 'to the Diamond Palace' is fine.

× It is an Imperial park where the entrance used to be restricted to Imperial family members.

✓ It was an imperial park where the entrance used to be restricted to imperial family members.

When describing a past state tied to 'used to', keep past reference consistent. Using present 'is' with 'used to be' is inconsistent. Change 'is' to past 'was'. Also lowercase 'imperial' unless part of a proper name.

× Yes, I still love going to park nowadays.

✓ Yes, I still love going to parks nowadays.

The noun 'park' needs an article ('the') or plural 'parks'. Context refers to parks in general, so use plural 'parks'. Also 'nowadays' fits with present simple 'love'.

× The favorite part of mine is Shakespeare Park.

✓ My favorite part is Shakespeare Park.

Word order 'The favorite part of mine' is awkward. Use possessive adjective 'my' before the noun: 'My favorite part'. This is more natural and grammatically correct.

× I visited the Shakespeare Park at least twice a week.

✓ I visit Shakespeare Park at least twice a week.

This sentence appears in response to 'Do you still like going to parks now?' so it should describe a current habitual action. 'Visited' (past) conflicts with 'now'. Use present simple 'visit' to indicate habitual present action. Also native usage drops 'the' before many park names: 'Shakespeare Park'.

× I would really like to whether they do the original park and winter home Regional Park on the suburbs of Auckland.

✓ I would really like to see the original park and Winterhome Regional Park in the suburbs of Auckland.

Multiple errors: 'whether' is incorrect — should be 'see'. 'Do' is unnecessary. 'Winter home Regional Park' likely intended as 'Winterhome Regional Park' (proper noun capitalization). Use preposition 'in' rather than 'on the suburbs'. Modal 'would like to' should be followed by base verb 'see'. Suggest checking proper park names and use 'in the suburbs of'.

× Unfortunately they're too far.

✓ Unfortunately, they're too far away.

Add 'away' after 'far' for natural expression 'too far away'. Also include a comma after 'Unfortunately'. The contraction 'they're' is acceptable if context refers to the parks.

× I need to get a new car to weather them.

✓ I need to get a new car to visit them.

'Weather' is incorrect verb choice and doesn't fit meaning. Use base verb 'visit' after 'to' to express purpose. Ensure infinitive 'to visit'.

× Yes, of course there are.

✓ Yes, of course there are some.

The examiner asked 'Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?' The reply 'Yes, of course there are.' is grammatically acceptable but sounds incomplete. Adding 'some' clarifies reference to parks. This fixes slight awkwardness.

× I'd love to go to the Hanoi Westlake Park location and the capital of Vietnam.

✓ I'd love to go to West Lake in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.

'Hanoi Westlake Park location' is awkward. Use common English name 'West Lake in Hanoi'. Also 'the capital of Vietnam' should be appositive: 'Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.' Rearranged for clarity and natural article usage.

× I have seen this part from the travel books.

✓ I have seen this place in travel books.

Use 'place' rather than 'part'. Use preposition 'in' with 'travel books'. Present perfect 'have seen' is fine because it's an experience up to now. 'The travel books' is less natural than 'travel books' in general.

× It seems to be a really beautiful place with the blended scenery.

✓ It seems to be a really beautiful place with blended scenery.

'The blended scenery' is awkward; remove 'the' to make it a general description: 'with blended scenery'. Alternatively specify what is blended. Keep adjective order and article usage natural.

× I'd really like to go there one day.

✓ I'd really like to go there one day.

This sentence is grammatically correct and appropriate for expressing future desire. No change needed.
