Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Câu trả lời cần rõ ràng hơn, tránh dùng từ lặp và tiếng ậm ừ. Bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề trực tiếp, sau đó đưa 1-2 chi tiết hỗ trợ cụ thể (ví dụ thời lượng, hoạt động khi đi bộ). Sử dụng liên từ để mạch lạc (for example, because, furthermore). Giữ tối đa 4 câu.

Example: Yes, I walk quite often because it helps me maintain both physical fitness and mental wellbeing. For example, I usually walk for 30 minutes after work to reduce stress and clear my mind. Besides, walking gives me opportunities to chat with neighbors and make new friends.

Suggestion: Câu trả lời không logic về thời gian (IELTS preparation as a child is unlikely) và quá ngắn. Nên trả lời trực tiếp rồi giải thích lý do hợp lý với chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ bận học, giờ chơi hạn chế), dùng linking words để kết nối ý. Tránh 'well' lặp và thêm 1 câu kết.

Example: No, I didn’t go out for walks very often when I was a child because I had a very busy study schedule. For instance, I spent most afternoons doing homework and attending extra classes, so I had little free time for walking.

Suggestion: Câu trả lời thiếu rõ ràng, nhiều lỗi ngữ nghĩa và nội dung chung chung. Cần nêu nguyên nhân cụ thể (không khí trong lành, cảnh đẹp, an toàn) và đưa ví dụ hoặc so sánh. Sử dụng liên từ như 'because', 'for example' để mạch lạc. Giữ 2-3 câu rõ ràng.

Example: People often like walking in parks because the air is fresher and the scenery is pleasant. For example, parks usually have trees, flowers and quiet paths, which make walking more relaxing than walking on busy streets.

Suggestion: Câu trả lời lặp từ, có nhiều tiếng ngập ngừng và ngữ pháp sai. Nên bắt đầu trực tiếp, giải thích lý do cụ thể và thêm chi tiết (thời gian, hoạt động khi đi bộ). Dùng cấu trúc điều kiện đúng và liên từ để rõ ràng. Giữ 2-3 câu.

Example: If I had the chance, I would take a long walk in a large park near the lake because it is peaceful and scenic. I would probably walk for an hour while listening to music or observing the wildlife to relax.

Suggestion: Câu trả lời mơ hồ và nhiều tiếng ậm ừ, ngữ pháp sai (thời thì). Nên trả lời rõ địa điểm cụ thể và giải thích lý do với chi tiết (thời gian, cảm nhận). Sử dụng thì quá khứ khi nói về việc đã xảy ra. Giữ 2-3 câu ngắn gọn.

Example: Recently I walked in the apartment corridor because it was convenient and safer than going outside. I usually walk there for about 20 minutes to get some exercise without worrying about traffic.

× Well, I think yes, because it helps me optimize my physical and mental health. On top of that, I can, uh, talk with more people.

✓ Well, I think so, because it helps me improve my physical and mental health. On top of that, I can talk to more people.

Sinh viên dùng 'yes' incorrectly; 'think so' is natural. 'Optimize' is not wrong but 'improve' is more natural here. More importantly, 'talk with' is acceptable but 'talk to' is more common when referring to initiating conversation. Suggestion: use 'think so', 'improve', and 'talk to' for natural phrasing.

× Well no, because I prepared for IELTS exams. And I was so busy.

✓ Well, no, because I was preparing for the IELTS exam and I was very busy.

The student used simple past 'prepared' which suggests a completed action; 'was preparing' (past continuous) better expresses an ongoing activity in the past that made them busy. Also use singular 'exam' after 'IELTS' as a mass noun is more natural here. Suggestion: use past continuous for ongoing past activities and prefer 'the IELTS exam' or just 'IELTS'.

× Well, because people cannot experience many beautiful space, about 3 people and many other things.

✓ Well, because people cannot experience many beautiful places, meet about three people, and see many other things.

Errors: 'beautiful space' is uncountable and incorrect for 'places'; need plural 'places'. 'about 3 people' lacks context and should be 'meet about three people'. Use verbs 'experience/see/meet' to make the sentence grammatical. Suggestion: use plural nouns and appropriate verbs and spell out small numbers in speech-to-text corrections.

× Well, I would like to take a long walk in, uh, the park if you, if I had a chance because, uh, there is a quiet space in order to is experience that.

✓ Well, I would like to take a long walk in the park if I had the chance because there is a quiet space to enjoy.

Problems: unnecessary repetition 'if you, if I', incorrect phrase 'in order to is experience that'. Use 'if I had the chance' for second conditional and 'to enjoy' or 'to experience it' as the infinitive purpose. Suggestion: remove filler words, keep one conditional clause, and use 'to + verb' to express purpose.

× Well, I think that is corridor because, uh, I will not affect it, uh, will not affect by uh, many vehicle around the streets.

✓ Well, I think it is the corridor because it is not affected by many vehicles on the streets.

Errors: 'will not affect it' is wrong tense and voice; use passive present 'is not affected'. 'That is corridor' wrong article and noun form; use 'it is the corridor'. 'Many vehicle' should be plural 'many vehicles'. Suggestion: use present simple passive for a current state, correct article 'the', and pluralize countable nouns.
