Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make your response direct and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (present simple), avoid repetitions, and keep it within 2–3 concise sentences. Use linking words if adding a reason. Pronunciation and hesitations reduce clarity — try practicing a smooth sentence.

Example: Yes, I do walk a lot. I prefer walking to running because it is gentler on my body, and I find it the most effective way to stay healthy.

Suggestion: Answer directly using past simple and avoid word repetition. Provide one clear supporting detail and use a linking word (e.g., because, so) to connect ideas. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and correct grammar (a child → a child/when I was young).

Example: Yes, I walked a lot when I was young because I often hung out with my friends. We would walk to meet at the park or to visit each other.

Suggestion: Give a concise general reason then add a brief personal comment. Use cohesive language (for example, especially, because) and avoid filler sounds. Use vocabulary relevant to the topic (exercise, relaxation, scenery).

Example: People like to walk in parks because it is an easy form of exercise and the surroundings are relaxing. For example, many people choose walking if they prefer low-impact activities rather than intense sports.

Suggestion: Use a conditional with correct tense (I would prefer), state one or two clear options, give specific reasons, and avoid repetition. Keep it concise and coherent by using linking words (because, and).

Example: If I had the chance, I would prefer to walk on the beach or in the mountains because the views are amazing and time passes quickly when the scenery is beautiful. It would also be nicer with friends because we could talk as we walk.

Suggestion: Answer directly using past simple and complete the reason clearly. Avoid hesitations and correct grammar (we needed to buy milk at the supermarket; we usually take our car but we decided not to). Keep it to 2–3 sentences and finish the thought.

Example: I went for a walk yesterday with my mum because we needed to buy milk at the supermarket. We usually drive, but yesterday we decided to walk instead.

× I think I do work a lot compared to the others because I'll preferred I prefer walking rather than running and in order to maintain my health I think the M most effective way is working for me.

✓ I think I do walk a lot compared to others because I prefer walking rather than running, and to maintain my health walking is the most effective way for me.

Errors: 'do work' is incorrect verb choice and tense for habitual action; 'I'll preferred' mixes future/conditional and past forms; 'I prefer' is correct form but redundancy exists; 'the M most' is a typo; 'is working for me' uses progressive unnecessarily. Suggestions: Use simple present for habits (I do walk -> I do walk or better I walk), keep consistent verbs (prefer), remove typos and use the simple form for general statements (walking is the most effective way). Use commas to connect clauses.

× I did walk a lot when I was a young, but it was not just for work working, it was just for hanging out with my friend and so to get where I gather with my friend, I walk a lot.

✓ I walked a lot when I was young, but it was not for work; it was for hanging out with my friends, so to meet them I walked a lot.

Errors: 'did walk' is a marked past tense but unnecessary; 'when I was a young' incorrect article and adjective order; 'not just for work working' repetition and wrong word; 'my friend' singular vs plural; 'to get where I gather with my friend' is ungrammatical. Suggestions: Use simple past 'walked' for past habits, remove auxiliary 'did' unless for emphasis, use 'young' without 'a', pluralize 'friends' if referring to more than one, and rephrase awkward clause to 'to meet them'.

× I think this is because walking is the most effective way to be in shape, Uh, especially for people who are not good at doing sports. And in my case, I, yeah, I don't, I prefer walking compared to the other sport, hard sports.

✓ I think this is because walking is the most effective way to stay in shape, especially for people who are not good at sports. In my case, I prefer walking to more strenuous sports.

Errors: 'to be in shape' is acceptable but 'stay in shape' is more natural; 'doing sports' is odd—use 'sports'; 'I don't, I prefer' disfluent; 'compared to the other sport, hard sports' ungrammatical and awkward. Suggestions: Use concise present tense phrases for general truths, remove fillers, use 'prefer X to Y' structure and 'more strenuous sports' for clarity.

× If I had a chance, I prefer walking on the beach or on the mountain because view is amazing so it might it might not be bored while walking for a long time and if it's with my friends that's a better and because we could keep talking.

✓ If I had the chance, I would prefer walking on the beach or in the mountains because the view is amazing, so it would not be boring to walk for a long time, and if it was with my friends that would be better because we could keep talking.

Errors: Mixed conditional forms: 'If I had a chance' (second conditional) should pair with 'would prefer', not 'I prefer'. 'on the mountain' vs 'in the mountains' preference; 'view is amazing' missing article 'the'; 'it might it might not be bored' wrong subject and repetition; 'that's a better and' incomplete. Suggestions: Use consistent second conditional (If + past, would + base), add 'the' before 'view', use 'boring' to describe situation, and complete comparative clauses ('that would be better').

× Actually I went for a walk yesterday with my mom and this it was because we had we needed to buy a milk in supermarket and usually we we take our car but on purpose we didn't used and we.

✓ Actually I went for a walk yesterday with my mom because we needed to buy milk at the supermarket. Usually we take our car, but this time we didn't on purpose.

Errors: Redundancy and incorrect auxiliary use: 'had we needed' wrong word order; 'buy a milk' article misuse—'milk' is uncountable so no 'a'; 'in supermarket' wrong preposition and missing article; 'we we take' repetition; 'we didn't used' incorrect past form after auxiliary 'didn't' should be base verb 'use'; sentence unfinished. Suggestions: Use correct simple past 'needed', use uncountable noun without 'a', use 'at the supermarket', avoid repetition, and after 'didn't' use base verb 'use'. Complete the sentence with a clear phrase 'this time' if intentional."}]}
