Parks— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more consistent with tense and finish your sentences. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid trailing off and unnecessary repetition.

Example: Not really. There were no parks near our home when I was a child, so I rarely visited them. Instead, my family often took me to shopping malls or riverside spots for outings, which I enjoyed because they had playgrounds and places to eat.

Suggestion: Combine short fragments into complete sentences and use linking words to connect ideas. Add a specific example or reason to make your answer more concrete.

Example: Yes, I do. I often go to parks with my friends for picnics because we can relax outdoors, have snacks, and catch up. For example, last weekend we brought sandwiches and played frisbee, which felt very refreshing.

Suggestion: Good clear response. Improve by smoothing grammar (use plural/singular correctly) and adding a brief reason or comparison to strengthen the point.

Example: Yes, I would. There are parks in my city, but they are quite far from my neighborhood, so I would appreciate more small parks nearby where I could take evening walks and enjoy fresh air without traveling far.

Suggestion: Avoid short choppy sentences; present a complete, natural answer and give specific details (which parks, why). Use linking words to explain purpose and add a concrete example.

Example: Yes, there are a couple of parks I'd like to visit with my partner in the future. For instance, there is a botanical garden and a lakefront park that I think would be perfect for a quiet picnic where we could talk, relax, and unwind.

× In my childhood, I haven't visited any parks as there were no parks in our locality.

✓ When I was a child, I did not visit any parks because there were no parks in our locality.

The student used present perfect ('haven't visited') to refer to a finished period in the past ('in my childhood'). Use simple past ('did not visit'). Also beginning phrasing 'In my childhood' is awkward; 'When I was a child' is natural. Suggestion: use simple past for completed past periods and reorder the clause for clarity.

× But I used to love going out with my family to some other places like malls and.

✓ But I used to love going out with my family to other places, like malls.

The original sentence ends with an incomplete phrase ('and.'). Remove the dangling conjunction and complete the noun phrase. 'Used to' correctly expresses past habit. Suggestion: avoid trailing conjunctions and finish the list or remove 'and'.

× At present I love going to parks with my friends for some picnic parties. Visit, have snacks and chit chat for a while which is refreshing.

✓ At present I love going to parks with my friends for small picnics: we sit, have snacks, and chat for a while, which is refreshing.

The original second sentence is a fragment ('Visit, have snacks...') and lacks a subject and proper verb forms. Combine into one sentence with a subject and parallel verbs ('sit, have, and chat'). Use 'picnics' rather than 'picnic parties' for natural English and insert commas for clarity.

× My city consists of parks, but there are far away.

✓ My city has few parks, and they are far away.

'Consists of parks' is unnatural here; 'has few parks' conveys scarcity. 'There are far away' is ungrammatical because 'there are' needs a noun phrase; use 'they are far away' to refer to the parks. Suggestion: use 'has' for possession and ensure pronouns agree with antecedents.

× I would love it if there were parks near my house so that I can go for evening walks and get some fresh air.

✓ I would love it if there were parks near my house so that I could go for evening walks and get some fresh air.

The sentence mixes a hypothetical conditional ('I would love it if there were') with 'can', which suggests real ability. In a hypothetical present unreal condition, use 'could' to match the conditional mood. Suggestion: keep modal verbs consistent in conditional sentences.

× I would love to go. 2 parks. With my partner in future.

✓ I would love to visit two parks with my partner in the future.

These fragments split a single idea into incomplete sentences and use a digit '2' in the middle. Combine into one full sentence: 'visit two parks' and include 'in the future' for time. Suggestion: avoid fragments and write complete sentences.

× We can have a little romance and catch up and release our stress.

✓ We could spend some romantic time together, catch up, and relieve our stress.

'Have a little romance' is awkward in this context; 'spend some romantic time together' is more natural. Use parallel verbs 'catch up, and relieve our stress.' Also 'can' should be 'could' to match the earlier conditional mood. Suggestion: choose natural collocations and maintain parallel structure and consistent modal verbs.
