Walking— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be concise and clear: start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid irrelevant personal remarks and unclear numbers. Use linking words to connect ideas and correct grammatical errors (e.g., "I walk about 40 minutes").

Ejemplo: No, I don't walk a lot. I prefer using a treadmill for exercise because it's convenient and protects my joints; usually I walk for about 40 minutes when I have free time.

Sugerencia: Use past tense consistently and avoid repetition. Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples (where/with whom/why) using linking words like "because" or "especially". Clarify unclear phrases (e.g., "parrot school" likely meant "primary school").

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I often walked outside with my friends when I was at primary school because we played games during breaks; especially on sports day we had long walks and outdoor activities.

Sugerencia: Good content and clear reasons. Improve by adding a linking word and a concrete example to make it more specific. Fix small grammar issues ("a convenient way" not "convenient way").

Ejemplo: People like to walk in parks because it's a convenient way to get exercise and fresh air, and it offers pleasant scenery. For example, older people in my city often meet in the park every morning to walk together and chat.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear conditional topic sentence and give specific reasons using linking words like "because" and "also." Correct awkward phrases ("I like sightseeing" not "I like to sightseeing") and avoid repetition. Mention one or two concrete details about the garden.

Ejemplo: If I had the chance, I'd take a long walk in my garden because it has plenty of space and fresh air; it's also convenient. I could walk my dogs along the flower beds and enjoy the views of the trees.

Sugerencia: Use past simple with one clear topic sentence, then give a specific reason or detail. Remove filler words like "honestly" and correct grammar ("there was plenty of space," "I like walking to another building to get exercise").

Ejemplo: Recently I walked around my school grounds because there was plenty of space. I usually walk between buildings to get some exercise during breaks.

× I don't like a long walk.

✓ I don't like long walks.

Article error and singular/plural: 'a long walk' is less natural here. When speaking generally about the activity, use the plural 'long walks' without the article. Use plural to express habitual dislike of that type of activity.

× I like walking on the treadmill when I have some free time to exercise.

✓ I like walking on the treadmill when I have some free time to exercise.

This sentence is grammatically correct. 'Walking' is correctly used as a gerund after 'like' to describe a habitual activity.

× Umm, I walk within 40.

✓ Umm, I walk about 40 minutes.

Incorrect quantifier and preposition: 'within 40' is unclear. To express duration, use 'about 40 minutes' or 'for about 40 minutes.' 'Within' is followed by a time limit context; here the speaker likely means duration.

× Yes I did. I often go.

✓ Yes, I did. I often went.

Tense inconsistency: The examiner asked about childhood (past). After 'Yes, I did' the speaker should use past tense 'I often went' to match the time frame.

× I often went outside to have a walk with my friends when I had a parrot school.

✓ I often went outside to have a walk with my friends when I was at primary school.

Word choice and article use: 'parrot school' is likely a mispronunciation of 'primary school.' Use 'was at primary school' for the past setting. 'To have a walk' is acceptable but 'to go for a walk' is more natural; here 'to have a walk' retained but corrected the school phrase.

× I had a long walk, umm, occasionally when the school had the activities, especially sport day.

✓ I took long walks occasionally when the school held activities, especially on sports day.

Article and verb choice: Use 'took long walks' (more natural for past habitual action), 'held activities' instead of 'had the activities,' and 'on sports day' for the specific occasion. 'Sports day' is countable and usually used with 'on.'

× I think many people enjoy walking in the parks because it's convenient way to get exercise and fresh air.

✓ I think many people enjoy walking in parks because it's a convenient way to get exercise and fresh air.

Article and noun number: 'in the parks' should be 'in parks' when speaking generally. 'It's convenient way' needs the indefinite article 'a convenient way.'

× Especially old people in my country often go for walks to stay active and socialize with friends.

✓ Especially elderly people in my country often go for walks to stay active and socialize with friends.

Word choice/pronoun: 'Old people' is not grammatically wrong but 'elderly people' is more natural and polite. No grammatical change required otherwise.

× I would like to take a long walk in my garden because there is plenty of space.

✓ I would like to take a long walk in my garden because there is plenty of space.

This sentence is correct. 'My garden' and 'plenty of space' are used appropriately.

× I like the fresh air in the in my garden and it's easy to get there.

✓ I like the fresh air in my garden, and it's easy to get there.

Redundant article/word: Remove the extra 'the' to read 'in my garden.' Also add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and.'

× I like to sightseeing and walk with my adorable dogs as well.

✓ I like sightseeing and walking with my adorable dogs as well.

Verb form and preposition: Use gerund forms after 'like': 'sightseeing' and 'walking.' 'To sightseeing' is incorrect.

× Honestly, I walked in my school because there there was a plenty of space in my school and I like walking to another building because to get some exercise.

✓ Honestly, I walked at my school because there was plenty of space, and I liked walking to another building to get some exercise.

Multiple tense and article errors: Use 'at my school' (preposition for location), remove duplicate 'there,' 'a plenty' is incorrect—use 'plenty of.' Match past timeframe with 'liked' rather than 'like.' Remove extra 'because' before 'to get some exercise' and use 'to get' without 'because.'
