Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid modal errors ("allowed to") and give one brief supporting detail. Use linking words if needed.

Example: Yes, I walk quite a lot. For example, after my Pilates classes I usually walk for about 40 minutes to get some exercise and clear my mind.

Suggestion: Give a clear past-tense topic sentence and a concise reason. Fix tense and word order errors, and avoid repetition. Use one linking word to connect the reason.

Example: No, I didn't often go for walks as a child because I injured my ankle, so walking outside usually caused me pain.

Suggestion: Answer the general question first, then add a personal example. Use correct verb forms and linking words (e.g., "because," "so") and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: People like to walk in parks because the green space and fresh air help them unwind. For example, when I'm stressed I often walk in a park to relax and refocus on myself.

Suggestion: Use a conditional structure correctly and a clear topic sentence. Replace habitual present ("usually") with conditional phrasing and correct adjectives ("quiet," "refreshing"). Provide one specific reason.

Example: If I had the chance, I would take a long walk in the park near my house because it is quiet, full of flowers, and has refreshing air that helps me relax.

Suggestion: Be precise and use correct nouns. Clarify place names and sequence of past actions with linking words (e.g., "first," "then"). Avoid unclear words like "tango" if you mean a place. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Recently I went to a place called Dale with my family. We had coffee and lunch at a large café there, and then we took a walk around the nearby area.

× Yes, I think I allowed to walk because when I go to Pilates I usually walk about 40 minutes.

✓ Yes, I think I am allowed to walk because when I go to Pilates I usually walk for about 40 minutes.

The student used 'allowed' without the correct auxiliary 'am' to form the passive/modal expression; this is a modal-verb/verb phrase issue. Also 'walk about 40 minutes' needs the preposition 'for' to indicate duration. Suggestion: use 'I am allowed to' for permission and 'walk for 40 minutes' for duration.

× To be honest, I didn't like walk when I was child because I hurt my ankle, so when I walked it outside I always hurt.

✓ To be honest, I didn't like walking when I was a child because I hurt my ankle, so whenever I walked outside I always got hurt.

Multiple tense and verb form issues: after 'didn't like' the verb should be in -ing form (gerund), so 'walking' (verb + -ing). 'When I was child' is missing the article 'a'. 'When I walked it outside' is ungrammatical; remove 'it' and use 'outside'. 'I always hurt' is incorrect: in past tense use 'I always got hurt' or 'I was always hurt'. Suggestion: use gerund after 'like', include 'a' before 'child', and use past-tense 'got hurt' for resulting state.

× I used to avoid go for a walk but this day whenever I got stressed I usually go for a walk in parks.

✓ I used to avoid going for walks, but these days whenever I get stressed I usually go for a walk in parks.

After 'used to avoid' the verb should be in -ing form: 'avoiding' or 'avoid going' (verb + -ing). 'This day' is incorrect for habitual present; use 'these days'. Tense consistency: 'whenever I got stressed I usually go' mixes past and present; use present for current habit: 'whenever I get stressed I usually go'. Also 'go for a walk in parks' can be 'go for a walk in parks' or 'go to parks for a walk'; plural 'walks' after 'avoid' fits better. Suggestion: use 'avoid going' and maintain present tense for current habits.

× It helps me relaxed and focused on myself.

✓ It helps me relax and stay focused on myself.

After 'helps' the verb should be in base form (infinitive without to), so 'relax' not 'relaxed'. 'Focused' needs support to show ongoing state; 'stay focused' is natural. Suggestion: use 'helps me relax and stay focused' to express the effect.

× If I had a chance I usually go to park nearby house because it has a lot of flowers and very quiet so it helps me relax and refreshing air.

✓ If I had the chance I would usually go to the park near my house because it has a lot of flowers and is very quiet, so it helps me relax and enjoy the fresh air.

The conditional sentence requires 'would' for the result clause after 'If I had': 'I would usually go'. Missing articles: 'the park' and 'my house'. 'Very quiet' needs a linking verb 'is'. 'Refreshing air' is incorrect collocation; use 'fresh air' and 'enjoy' to express benefit. Suggestion: use second conditional structure 'If I had..., I would...' and include appropriate articles and verbs.

× Lately I went to tango with my family. It's very quiet and has a huge cafe, so when I went to Dale, I ate coffee and lunch and went to walk nearby.

✓ Lately I went to Tango with my family. It was very quiet and had a huge cafe, so when we went to Dale, I had coffee and lunch and went for a walk nearby.

Tense consistency: 'Lately' suggests recent past—use past tense throughout: 'it was' and 'had'. 'I ate coffee' is incorrect: use 'had coffee'. 'Went to walk nearby' needs 'went for a walk nearby'. Also 'tango' may be a proper noun 'Tango' or place name, capitalize if so. Suggestion: keep past tense, use 'had coffee' and 'went for a walk'.
