Traffic— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Improve grammatical accuracy, verb tense consistency and provide a bit more specific detail. Start with a clear topic sentence in present tense, then add one supporting detail using a linking word (e.g., “for example” or “especially”). Avoid redundancy and keep to no more than 3–4 short sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, there are many crosswalks near my home. For example, there is a pedestrian crossing at every major intersection and one outside the local school, which makes walking around the neighborhood safe and convenient.

Sugerencia: Make the response more natural and precise: state your opinion directly, then give a specific reason and a linking word. Correct awkward phrasing (e.g., “set up by traffic” and “under cameras”). Keep to 2–3 sentences and use relevant vocabulary such as “traffic management,” “traffic lights,” or “surveillance cameras.”

Ejemplo: Not really; I’m satisfied with the traffic management in my area because traffic lights and clear signage keep vehicles moving smoothly. Also, many junctions are monitored by surveillance cameras, which helps reduce unsafe driving.

× Yes, absolutely. There were many crosswalks from where I live.

✓ Yes, absolutely. There are many crosswalks near where I live.

The examiner asks about the present situation, so present tense is required. 'Were' is past tense and incorrectly suggests the crosswalks existed only in the past. Replace 'were' with 'are'. Also 'from where I live' is unnatural; use 'near where I live' or 'around where I live' to indicate location. Suggestion: Use present tense for current facts and prefer 'near/around where I live' for location expressions.

× I think not because everything is properly set up by traffic. Traffic police are all under cameras.

✓ I don't think so because everything is properly managed by the traffic authorities. The traffic police are all under camera surveillance.

'I think not' is grammatically odd in this context; 'I don't think so' is the natural negative response. 'Set up by traffic' is incorrect because 'traffic' is not an agent that sets things up; use 'managed by the traffic authorities'. 'Under cameras' is an incorrect prepositional phrase; say 'under camera surveillance' to express being monitored. Also keep present simple because the question asks about the current situation. Suggestion: Use 'I don't think so' for polite disagreement, use accurate agent nouns ('traffic authorities'), and use standard collocations like 'under camera surveillance'.
