Walking— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid unclear phrases and grammar errors. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' correctly.

Ejemplo: No, I don't walk a lot. Instead, I play soccer with my friends several times a week because I have played soccer for 13 years and it keeps me fit and social.

Sugerencia: Good clear answer and relevant supporting detail. Improve by correcting tense consistency and reducing fillers. Use a linking phrase to connect the idea (e.g., 'instead').

Ejemplo: No, I didn't often go for walks as a child. Instead, I usually hung out with friends and played sports like soccer and baseball in the park nearly every weekend, which made me very happy.

Sugerencia: Provide a clearer, natural explanation with specific reasons and correct grammar. Use linking words such as 'because' and give a concrete benefit (e.g., lowers stress, improves fitness).

Ejemplo: People like walking in parks because it reduces stress and improves fitness. For example, regular walks in green spaces can boost the immune system and lift your mood.

Sugerencia: Answer directly with correct conditional form and specific, relevant details about the place. Avoid vague or incorrect descriptions. Use linking words like 'because' and give concrete sights you want to see.

Ejemplo: If I had the chance, I'd like to take a long walk in Tokyo because I want to see the contrast between modern skyscrapers and traditional shrines, and to explore lively neighborhoods such as Shibuya and Asakusa.

Sugerencia: Good clear response with reason. Improve by tightening language and using one or two linking words (e.g., 'because' and 'however') and correct article usage. Keep it concise.

Ejemplo: I haven't gone for a walk recently because of school and work commitments. However, I play soccer with friends a few times a week, which provides good exercise.

× No, I'm not just walking, but I play soccer with my friends sometimes.

✓ No, I don't just walk; I play soccer with my friends sometimes.

The original uses 'I'm not just walking' which implies a present continuous action; the question asks about habitual walking so the simple present is appropriate. Use 'don't just walk' to express habitual negation. Also replace comma with a semicolon or conjunction for clarity.

× I have been playing soccer for 13 years, so soccer is a part of my life.

✓ I have been playing soccer for 13 years, so soccer is a part of my life.

This sentence is grammatically correct. It properly uses present perfect continuous to indicate an action that started in the past and continues to the present, and the second clause is correctly in the present simple. No change needed.

× So I grew with them.

✓ So I grew up with my teammates.

'Grew with them' is awkward and unclear. The correct phrasal verb is 'grow up with' to indicate maturing together; specify 'teammates' for clarity. This fixes sentence structure and meaning.

× But and also if I have say, I'm good at learning.

✓ Also, if I have to say, I'm good at learning.

The original has redundant conjunctions 'But and also' and missing verb phrase 'to say'. Use 'Also, if I have to say' to introduce an opinion. This corrects sentence structure and word order.

× No, I didn't, but when I was a child I usually hang out with my friends and we played uh, sports like soccer and baseball in the park nearly every weekend, which made me feel very happy.

✓ No, I didn't, but when I was a child I usually hung out with my friends and we played sports like soccer and baseball in the park nearly every weekend, which made me very happy.

The sentence mixes past and present. Use past tense 'hung out' to match 'when I was a child' and remove filler 'uh'. Also 'made me feel very happy' can be simplified to 'made me very happy'; both are acceptable but the correction keeps tense consistency.

× From my perspective, those who are going for a walk have a good health and they are strongly immune, so regularly exercise bring about positive consequence.

✓ From my perspective, people who go for a walk are healthy and have strong immunity, so regular exercise brings about positive consequences.

'Those who are going for a walk' is wordy; use 'people who go for a walk'. 'Have a good health' is incorrect—use 'are healthy' or 'have good health'. 'Strongly immune' is unidiomatic; use 'have strong immunity'. Subject-verb agreement: 'regularly exercise bring' should be 'regular exercise brings'. 'Consequence' should be plural 'consequences'.

× If I had choose off the top of my head, I want to go for a walk in Tokyo because they are beautiful building like column school and separate like that so I want to watch them.

✓ If I had to choose off the top of my head, I would want to go for a walk in Tokyo because there are beautiful buildings such as columns and schools, and I would like to see them.

'Had choose' is incorrect; use the modal structure 'had to choose' or conditional 'if I had to choose'. The conditional requires 'would' not 'want' in the result clause: 'I would want' or 'I would go'. 'They are beautiful building' has number and pronoun errors—use 'there are beautiful buildings'. Phrases like 'column school and separate like that' are unclear; rephrase to 'such as columns and old school buildings' or similar. Use 'see' rather than 'watch' for sights.

× Where did you go for a walk lately?

✓ Where have you gone for a walk recently?

The examiner's question mixes 'did' with 'lately' which suggests present relevance; the correct form is present perfect 'have you gone' with 'recently' or keep simple past with 'recently' depending on dialect. 'Lately' with simple past is less natural; use 'recently' and present perfect.

× Honestly, I haven't gone for a walk lately because of school, work and homework and part time job.

✓ Honestly, I haven't gone for a walk recently because of school, work, homework, and my part-time job.

Use 'recently' instead of 'lately' (both can work but 'recently' pairs better here). Add commas between items and hyphenate 'part-time' and include possessive 'my' for natural English. This keeps present perfect to indicate a recent period continuing to now.

× Instead I often play soccer with my friends at night a few times a week which is a good form of exercise for me.

✓ Instead, I often play soccer with my friends at night a few times a week, which is a good form of exercise for me.

This sentence is mostly correct grammatically; add a comma after 'Instead' and before the relative clause for clarity. Tense and agreement are appropriate for habitual action.
