Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, avoid irrelevant details and incorrect vocabulary. Use one or two supporting reasons linked coherently. Correct word choice (e.g. 'opportunity' or 'chance' instead of 'charges') and grammar (verb tenses and articles) will improve clarity.

Example: Not really. I used to walk a lot when I was younger because I had no vehicle, but now I usually travel with my husband so I walk much less.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use correct tense and linking words. Begin with a topic sentence, then briefly explain with specific details. Use simple, accurate phrases (e.g. 'walk a short distance to catch the bus') and avoid redundancy.

Example: Yes. I didn't usually walk just for leisure, but I often walked short distances to catch the bus when going to school and university, which helped me get regular exercise.

Suggestion: Start with a clear opinion sentence and use linking words to add reasons. Avoid hesitations and incomplete sentences. Give two specific reasons (mental relaxation and physical exercise) and an example to support your answer.

Example: People like walking in parks because it helps them relax mentally and gives gentle exercise. For example, after a busy workday I find walking among trees reduces stress and lifts my mood.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use clear, accurate vocabulary and pronunciation. Provide one or two specific details explaining why you chose that place. Avoid unclear words and short fragments.

Example: I would like to walk along the seaside because I enjoy watching the waves and breathing the fresh sea air; the sound of the water helps me feel calm.

Suggestion: Give a concise past-tense account with a clear topic sentence and specific details. Remove filler words and correct grammar (e.g. 'to have a picnic', 'watched beautiful flowers'). Use linking words like 'and' or 'also' to connect ideas.

Example: Last weekend I went to a park with my husband for a picnic. We walked along the garden paths, watched the flowers and trees, and enjoyed the small lake nearby.

× Not really, when I was young I didn't have the vehicle to commute so I used to walk a lot.

✓ Not really. When I was young, I didn't have a vehicle to commute, so I used to walk a lot.

The original sentence mostly uses past tense but misses an article before 'vehicle' and punctuation. Add 'a' before 'vehicle' and separate clauses with commas or periods for clarity. 'Used to walk' correctly expresses past habitual action.

× But these days I mostly travel with my husband so I don't get much charges to work.

✓ But these days I mostly travel with my husband, so I don't have many charges for commuting to work.

The phrase 'get much charges' is incorrect. Use 'have many charges' or better 'have many expenses' and 'for commuting to work' clarifies purpose. Present simple 'don't have' fits habitual present.

× Yes, but it's not specifically to have a walk.

✓ Yes, but it wasn't specifically to take a walk.

The context asks about childhood (past), so verb tense should be past ('wasn't'). Also 'take a walk' is the correct collocation instead of 'have a walk.'

× Basically when I'm going school or to my university I had to walk a bit to take catch the bus, so it was a good exercise day those days.

✓ Basically, when I was going to school or to university, I had to walk a bit to catch the bus, so it was good exercise in those days.

Mixed tenses ('I'm going' present and 'I had' past) should be consistent in past. Use 'going to school' -> 'going to school' with past 'was going' or simply 'when I went to school.' 'to take catch the bus' is incorrect; use 'to catch the bus.' Remove extra articles and fix word order: 'good exercise in those days.'

× I believe it's provide it is a good way to get our minds off after our busy schedules and it is a good exercise as well.

✓ I believe it provides a good way to take our minds off our busy schedules, and it is good exercise as well.

Use 'it provides' (subject-verb agreement). 'Provide' must be conjugated. 'Get our minds off after our busy schedules' is awkward; use 'take our minds off our busy schedules.' Remove redundant 'it is' and article before 'good exercise.'

× For me, the uh using a park or a garden makes my mind relax and.

✓ For me, using a park or a garden helps my mind relax.

Remove filler 'the' before gerund 'using.' 'Helps my mind relax' is a natural verb pattern. The original ends unfinished; complete the thought without trailing conjunction.

× Maybe in the seaside.

✓ Maybe at the seaside.

Use the preposition 'at' with 'seaside' to indicate location. 'In the seaside' is incorrect.

× I really enjoy looking at the sea and walking along the shore and her Cindy sea waves.

✓ I really enjoy looking at the sea and walking along the shore and watching the waves.

'Her Cindy sea waves' is unclear and incorrect. Use 'watching the waves' or 'watching the sea waves.' Remove possessive 'her' and unclear adjective 'Cindy.'

× Last weekend I went to a park with my husband to have some uh. Have a picnic there.

✓ Last weekend I went to a park with my husband to have a picnic there.

Combine fragments into one coherent past-tense sentence. Remove filler 'uh' and duplicate verb. 'To have a picnic' correctly expresses purpose.

× I enjoyed walking along the path in the the garden and watch beautiful flowers and trees.

✓ I enjoyed walking along the path in the garden and watching the beautiful flowers and trees.

Use 'watching' (gerund) to match 'enjoyed walking' structure. Remove duplicate 'the the.' Add 'the' before 'beautiful' to specify the flowers and trees.

× There was a small lake as well there.

✓ There was a small lake there as well.

Word order is awkward. Place 'there' after the verb and add 'as well' at the end or 'there as well.' Both convey the same meaning more naturally.
