Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clearer and more natural. Start with a direct topic sentence (Yes/No), then give one or two concise reasons with less hesitation and correct vocabulary (use 'walk' not 'work'). Keep to 2–3 sentences and avoid repetitions.

Example: No, I don't walk a lot. I work in different shifts so I have limited free time, but I try to walk about 2–3 kilometres most evenings after dinner.

Suggestion: Answer directly and add a specific supporting detail. Use linking words (for example, because/so) and avoid repeating phrases. Mention a concrete example of activities or routines to make your answer more vivid.

Example: Yes. When I was a child my parents were very health-conscious, so they often took me to the local park. For example, we would walk there every weekend and sometimes play games or do light exercises together.

Suggestion: Give a concise, structured answer with two clear reasons and one brief explanation. Use linking words (for example, and, because) and choose precise vocabulary (e.g. 'meet others', 'socialise', 'stay fit').

Example: People like walking in parks because parks usually have safe paths and pleasant scenery, and because they provide a chance to socialise with others. As a result, walks in parks help people relax and stay physically fit.

Suggestion: Be concise and clear about the place. Start with the main idea, then give one or two specific reasons why you would choose it. Avoid repetition and correct grammatical issues (e.g. 'my friend's 3‑BHK apartment' and 'gated community').

Example: If I had the chance, I'd take a long walk in my friend's gated community near his 3‑BHK apartment, because it has a dedicated walking path and a peaceful environment ideal for a long, uninterrupted walk.

Suggestion: Clarify the time frame and be honest about the reason. Avoid repeating words and explain briefly. Use correct tense and sentence structure (e.g. 'I have been walking to school lately'). Keep to two sentences maximum.

Example: Lately I have been walking to school because it is only about 1.5 kilometres from my home. I sometimes arrive late on purpose so I can skip the first period, which is not ideal but explains why I walk at that time.

× No, uh, I won't work a lot, uh, because I usually work in different shifts, so I don't have much time to spend on uh, work.

✓ No, I don't walk a lot because I usually work different shifts, so I don't have much time to walk.

The student used 'I won't work a lot' which is incorrect for describing habitual walking. This is a future tense/modal error; 'won't' expresses future refusal rather than present habit. Use present simple for habits: 'I don't walk a lot.' Also 'work in different shifts' should be 'work different shifts' and 'time to spend on work' is replaced with 'time to walk' to match meaning.

× I usually work, uh, around, uh, around 2 to 3 kilometers a day after completing my dinner.

✓ I usually walk around 2 to 3 kilometers a day after dinner.

The verb 'work' is incorrect here; the student means 'walk'. Also avoid redundant 'around' and use 'after dinner' for natural phrasing. Present simple 'I usually walk' correctly expresses habitual action.

× Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?

✓ Did you often go outside for a walk when you were a child?

The original question is mostly fine but 'to have a walk' is unnatural; 'for a walk' is the standard collocation in English for going out to walk. No tense change needed; 'Did...when you were a child' correctly uses past simple.

× Yes, uh, when I was a child, I used to go outside for a walk, uh, because my father and mother were much, much involved in healthy activities.

✓ Yes, when I was a child, I used to go outside for a walk because my parents were very involved in healthy activities.

'Father and mother' is grammatically correct but 'my parents' is natural. 'Much, much involved' is ungrammatical; use 'very involved'. This is an adjective/adverb usage and word choice issue but fits best under improving verb/adjective form and natural collocation.

× So when I was a kid, uh, they usually, they usually took me to a park. Uh, they usually, uh, took me to a park for having.

✓ So when I was a kid, they usually took me to a park to have a walk.

'Took me to a park for having' is incorrect. Use the infinitive 'to have a walk' or better 'to go for a walk.' The error concerns verb form and collocation; 'to go for a walk' is most natural.

× People often like to walk in parks because, uh, because they do have a, uh, track to walk and they meet different people in park and they, uh, they exchange the healthy activities.

✓ People often like to walk in parks because they have tracks to walk on, they meet different people in the park, and they share healthy activities.

Several issues: 'do have a track' is unnecessary emphasis; 'track to walk' needs 'track to walk on' or 'tracks to walk on'; 'in park' needs the article 'the park' or plural 'parks'; 'exchange the healthy activities' is unnatural — use 'share healthy activities.' This covers article use, prepositions, and word choice.

× Uh, they exchange the healthy activities to, to be a regular fit.

✓ They share healthy activities to stay fit regularly.

'Exchange the healthy activities to be a regular fit' is ungrammatical and awkward. Use 'share' and the infinitive 'to stay fit' and adverb 'regularly' for clear meaning. This fixes sentence structure and word forms.

× If I had a chance, I would like to take a long walk to my friends my friend 3 BHK apartment where it is a gated community where we can walk on a track and we often have a separate path for walking.

✓ If I had the chance, I would take a long walk to my friend's 3-BHK apartment; it is in a gated community with a track and a separate path for walking.

Use the standard second conditional 'If I had the chance, I would take...' rather than 'would like to take' which is possible but wordy. Correct possession 'my friend's' and number agreement. Clarify '3 BHK apartment' with hyphens. This addresses conditional phrasing and possessive/article use.

× I think that that is the one one place I need to.

✓ I think that is the one place I need to go to.

Repetition 'that that' and 'one one' are disfluencies; sentence lacks a final verb. Add 'go to' to complete the idea. This fixes sentence structure and missing verb.

× Where did you go for a walk lately?

✓ Where have you gone for a walk lately?

'Lately' with a question about recent experiences typically uses present perfect: 'Where have you gone for a walk lately?' Past simple 'Did you go' or 'Where did you go' is possible if asking about a specific past time, but 'lately' calls for present perfect.

× I often go school lately because because my school is around 1.5 kilometer from my home.

✓ I often walk to school lately because my school is about 1.5 kilometers from my home.

Missing preposition 'to' after 'go' and wrong verb 'go' instead of 'walk' (if answering where they walk). Use present perfect or present simple; 'lately' prefers present perfect but present simple 'I often walk' is acceptable. Also use 'about' and plural 'kilometers.'

× So I intentionally intentionally go late to the school because because I can skip my first period.

✓ So I intentionally go to school late so I can skip my first period.

Double words 'intentionally intentionally' and 'because because' are repetitions. Use 'go to school late' (no 'the' before school in general) and 'so I can' for purpose. This corrects redundancy and article use.

× So that is one of the thing where I work lately.

✓ So that is one of the things I have been doing lately.

'One of the thing' should be 'one of the things.' 'Where I work lately' is irrelevant and ungrammatical; replace with 'I have been doing lately' to refer to the habit. This fixes plurality and sentence structure.
