Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid redundancy ("a lot" and "every now and then" conflict), and use correct collocations ("keep me in shape" not "makes me in shape"). Limit to 3–4 sentences and add one specific detail (when/how often or a short example).

Example: Yes, I walk regularly. I usually walk in the park three times a week for 30–40 minutes because it helps me stay fit and reduces stress. For example, after work I take a brisk walk to clear my head and feel refreshed.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and add a specific supporting detail. Avoid unclear words or phrases ("And tune" is irrelevant). Use one linking phrase to clarify contrast (e.g. "but instead"). Keep it brief and coherent.

Example: Not really. As a child I rarely went for walks, but I spent a lot of time playing games with my friends in the neighborhood instead.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and give two specific, logically linked reasons. Use natural phrasing ("walk in parks" plural, "fresh air" plus another concrete benefit). Avoid vague phrases like "sense of accomplishment" unless explained—replace with "relaxation" or explain why.

Example: I think many people walk in parks because they enjoy the fresh air and the peaceful atmosphere. In addition, the greenery and open space help them relax and forget daily worries, which makes walks restorative.

Suggestion: Be clear and use correct verbs and descriptions ("take a long walk" not "shake a long walk", "snow-capped mountains"). Give one or two specific reasons and one concrete image or detail to make it vivid. Keep sentences connected with linking words.

Example: I would love to take a long walk in Ladakh, especially among the snow-capped mountains. The dramatic scenery and fresh mountain air would be a welcome break from routine and help me feel calmer and more positive.

Suggestion: Use past tense for a recent activity and avoid filler sounds like "UMM." Give one clear time reference and one specific detail about the walk (what you saw or did). Use correct grammar and link ideas with a short reason phrase.

Example: Recently I walked in the park near my home last Saturday morning. The fresh air and birdsong made me feel relaxed and walking there usually helps me reduce stress.

× Absolutely yes, I walk a lot every now and then.

✓ Absolutely yes, I walk a lot.

The phrase 'every now and then' means 'occasionally' and contradicts 'a lot'. This creates a sentence-structure and adverb placement problem. Use one adverbial that matches intended meaning. If you mean frequently, use 'a lot' or 'often'; if occasionally, use 'every now and then'. Suggestion: choose one adverbial and place it after the verb or at the end: 'I walk a lot.' or 'I walk every now and then.'

× I love strolling in the park as it makes me in shape and it reduces my stress and refreshes my mind.

✓ I love strolling in the park because it keeps me in shape, reduces my stress, and refreshes my mind.

Use 'because' instead of 'as' for clarity. 'Makes me in shape' is ungrammatical; use 'keeps me in shape.' Also coordinate verbs in a parallel list using commas and 'and' ('keeps', 'reduces', 'refreshes'). Suggestion: use standard verb phrases and parallel structure.

× I did not go outside to have a walk when I was a child, but I love to play with my friends.

✓ I did not go outside to walk when I was a child, but I loved to play with my friends.

The sentence mixes past ('did not go') with present ('I love') when referring to childhood. Maintain past tense for both actions ('did not go' and 'loved'). Also 'have a walk' is wordy; use 'walk'. Suggestion: keep consistent past tense: 'I did not go outside to walk when I was a child, but I loved playing with my friends.'

× And tune.

✓ (Remove this fragment)

'And tune.' is a sentence fragment with no clear meaning or verb; it should be removed or completed. Fragments disrupt fluency. Suggestion: delete the fragment or replace with a complete phrase, e.g., 'and we played games.'

× From my perspective, I think people walk in park because they feel the fresh air and they think that the lush greenery of the parks may give them a sense of accomplishment.

✓ From my perspective, I think people walk in parks because they enjoy the fresh air, and the lush greenery may give them a sense of well-being.

Use 'parks' plural or 'a park'. 'Walk in park' is incorrect. 'Feel the fresh air' is better as 'enjoy the fresh air.' 'Sense of accomplishment' is odd for walking; 'sense of well-being' fits better. Also streamline conjunctions. Suggestion: use correct prepositions/articles and choose collocations: 'walk in parks' and 'enjoy the fresh air.'

× In Ladakh, without a doubt, I would shake a long walk in the mountains of Ladakh which are snow catching.

✓ In Ladakh, without a doubt, I would take a long walk in the snow‑covered mountains.

'Would shake a long walk' is incorrect verb choice; use 'take a long walk.' 'Which are snow catching' is ungrammatical; use 'snow-covered' or 'snowy.' Ensure third-person or modal constructions are correct ('would take'). Suggestion: use appropriate verb collocation 'take a walk' and correct adjective 'snowy' or 'snow-covered.'

× I think it helps me to take a break from the monotonous life and reduces my stress and brings my positivity.

✓ I think it would help me take a break from a monotonous life, reduce my stress, and improve my mood.

Context is conditional ('If I had the chance...') so use conditional/modal form ('would help') rather than simple present. Also use parallel verbs ('help... reduce... improve'). 'Brings my positivity' is unnatural; use 'improve my mood' or 'bring positivity.' Suggestion: match conditional mood and use natural collocations.

× Where did you go for a walk lately?

✓ Where did you go for a walk recently?

'Lately' is more commonly paired with present perfect ('Have you gone for a walk lately?') When asking about a specific past action, use 'recently' with past simple. Suggestion: use 'recently' with past simple or change to present perfect: 'Have you gone for a walk lately?'.

× I go for a walk in my nearby park as it gave UMM.

✓ I went for a walk in my nearby park recently because it gives me...

Sentence mixes present 'I go' with past 'gave' and includes 'UMM' filler. Use consistent tense. If answering about a recent past walk, use past simple: 'I went for a walk in my nearby park recently because it gives me...' Suggestion: remove fillers and use consistent tense: 'I went for a walk in my nearby park recently because it gives me a pleasant feeling.'

× As it gives me a pleasant feeling of well-being and strolling in the park help me to reduce my stress.

✓ It gives me a pleasant feeling of well-being, and strolling in the park helps me reduce my stress.

Subject-verb agreement: 'strolling' as a singular gerund requires singular verb 'helps' not 'help'. Remove 'to' after 'help' for conciseness. Also combine sentences for clarity. Suggestion: ensure gerund subjects take singular verbs and use parallel, concise phrasing.
