Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and correct grammar: start with a topic sentence answering the question, avoid pronoun confusion, filler words and tense errors. Use linking words to add brief supporting detail (how often, reason). Keep within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I walk a lot. I usually walk to my workplace most days and only take the bus occasionally, so I walk more than half the time. Walking helps me save money and get some exercise.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear past-tense topic sentence, avoid repeated verbs and incorrect phrasing. Use a linking word to add a specific example (where, who, how often).

Example: Yes, I often went for walks when I was a child. For example, during school holidays I used to hike in the nearby mountains with my family, which was both fun and good exercise.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear opinion, then give two or three specific reasons using linking words (for example, because, also). Use correct verb forms and avoid vague words like "some level."

Example: I think people enjoy walking in parks because it is relaxing and healthy. For example, they can get gentle exercise and fresh air, and they often meet friends or walk their dogs, which makes it a pleasant social activity.

Suggestion: Answer the hypothetical directly, then give a brief specific reason and a past reference if relevant. Correct grammar (verb tenses, articles) and avoid fillers. Use linking words to connect ideas.

Example: I would like to take a long walk in the Botanic Garden in Townsville. I visited it about two years ago with friends and remember the wide rose beds and greenhouses, so I would love to explore it again because it is so beautiful and peaceful.

Suggestion: Respond in past tense with a clear topic sentence, then give concise specific details about purpose and experience. Remove hesitations and correct grammar (plural/singular, infinitives). Use linking words like "because" or "for example."

Example: I recently went for a walk in Naksand Park. I often go there to clear my mind and think about my research ideas because the quiet environment helps me concentrate. Sometimes I also jog there to stay fit.

× I think they walk a lot umm when I go to my workplace I usually go by walk, sometimes using bus but I think more than half times I awoke.

✓ I think I walk a lot. Umm, when I go to my workplace I usually walk; sometimes I take the bus, but I think more than half the time I walk.

Multiple issues: subject-verb agreement and incorrect pronoun 'they' vs 'I' (IDs 27 and 12) and article/word choice. The student meant to talk about themselves, so use 'I' not 'they'. Use present simple 'walk' with 'I' (subject-verb agreement). Use 'take the bus' for riding bus and 'more than half the time' for frequency. Also separate into clearer sentences for readability. Note: Only errors matching provided list were corrected (subject-verb agreement ID 27, pronoun ID 12, article/quantifier ID 14/22 implicitly).

× Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child? -> Yeah, I often went to go outside and going for a walk, also going for an exercise. Usually when the school didn't start it, I went outside to the mountain and hiking some level.

✓ Yeah, I often went outside to walk and exercise. Usually, when school hadn't started, I went to the mountains and did some hiking.

Original contains tense and verb form problems (ID 5 and ID 8). Use past tense consistently: 'went outside to walk' and 'did some hiking'. 'Didn't start it' is awkward; use past perfect 'hadn't started' to indicate before school began. 'Mountain' pluralized to 'mountains' and 'hiking' used with 'did' for correct verb structure. Note: Corrections address past tense (ID 5), verb + -ing misuse (ID 8), and singular/plural (ID 1).

× I believe that they naturally likes it because they can do some level of exercise and they probably want to get the sunlight and having a good time with their families and people or with their dogs.

✓ I believe that people naturally like it because they can get some exercise, enjoy the sunlight, and have a good time with their families or with their dogs.

Wrong subject-verb agreement: 'they likes' should be 'they like' (ID 27). Also improved word choice and parallel structure: use verbs in same form 'get', 'enjoy', 'have' rather than mixing 'want to get' and 'having' (ID 8/10). 'Some level of exercise' changed to 'some exercise' for natural English (quantifier/adjective issues ID 14/13).

× The one place that pop up in my mind is a park in Townsville. I went to there with my girlfriends in about two years ago. It's kind of pu Botanic Garden with many roses and, uh, trees and greenhouses. It was very beautiful place.

✓ The one place that pops into my mind is a park in Townsville. I went there with my girlfriends about two years ago. It's kind of like the Botanic Gardens with many roses, trees, and greenhouses. It was a very beautiful place.

Multiple errors: verb form 'pop' should be 'pops' for subject-verb agreement (ID 27). Preposition 'to there' incorrect; use 'there' alone (ID 11). 'In about two years ago' redundant preposition 'in' removed and keep 'about two years ago' (ID 11). Article and noun forms: 'the Botanic Gardens' and 'a very beautiful place' needed (ID 17/22). 'Kind of like' clarifies simile. Also corrected plural 'Gardens' and added commas. Note: Corrections focus on prepositions and agreement.

× Where did you go for a walk lately? -> I recently went to the Naksand Park. I often go there just for a walk and thinking about my research ideas. Sometimes it's good to have a great ideas while uh, why while walking? Also umm did the jogging?

✓ I recently went to Naksand Park. I often go there just to walk and think about my research ideas. Sometimes it's good to have great ideas while walking. I also go jogging sometimes.

Tense mixed with gerund and article problems (IDs 6,8,9,22). 'Thinking' should be base verb 'think' to match 'go there to...'. 'A great ideas' incorrect article/number; use 'great ideas' (ID 22/1). 'While walking' is correct gerund phrase. 'Did the jogging?' is unnatural; use 'I also go jogging sometimes' for habitual action (present simple, ID 6).
