Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and grammatically correct, give a clear direct answer then one concise reason with a linking word. Avoid repetition and keep within 2–3 sentences.

Example: Not really. I don't walk much because I prefer relaxing at home after work. However, I do try to take short walks sometimes to get fresh air.

Suggestion: Use correct tense and give a clear statement about the past, then add a specific memory or reason using a linking word. Keep it coherent and avoid mixed ideas (work vs childhood).

Example: Yes, I often walked outside as a child. For example, I used to walk to the park with my cousins every weekend, and I remember feeling happy and free during those walks.

Suggestion: Start with a direct reason and then support it with two clear benefits using linking words. Use simpler, accurate vocabulary and correct collocations (e.g., 'beneficial for the body').

Example: People like walking in parks mainly because it combines relaxation and exercise. For instance, the green surroundings help them relax, and walking is beneficial for their physical health.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and add a specific reason with a linking word. Use slightly more formal language (avoid 'wanna') and add a detail about what you would do or see.

Example: I'd like to take a long walk in Salalah because the weather is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful. For example, I would stroll along the coastline and enjoy the sea breeze.

Suggestion: Use correct past tense and be clear about the activity (walking vs going to work). Give one specific detail and link sentences logically. Avoid unrelated words like 'admirable' if they don't fit.

Example: Recently I went for a walk with my young child. We spent some quality time together and finished our walk by buying fresh juice at a nearby café.

× Actually, I'm not a person who walk a lot.

✓ Actually, I'm not a person who walks a lot.

The relative clause 'who walk a lot' has a singular subject 'who' referring to 'a person', so the verb must take the third-person singular form 'walks'. To improve, ensure verbs agree with their subjects in number: 'a person' = singular → 'walks'. (ID:27)

× I'm a lazy person as I like to just relax, lay down and so on, just like that.

✓ I'm a lazy person because I like to just relax, lie down and so on.

Use 'because' instead of 'as' for a clearer causal link in spoken answers (both can be correct but 'because' is clearer). More importantly, the verb for resting is 'lie down' (present tense) not 'lay down' because 'lay' requires an object. Keep present simple 'like' since it's a habitual preference. (IDs:6,2)

× Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?

✓ Did you often go outside to take a walk when you were a child?

The question uses past simple auxiliary 'Did', so the main verb should be base form 'go' — here it's already correct, but the collocation 'have a walk' is nonstandard; 'take a walk' is the common phrase. No tense change needed. (ID:5)

× Definitely when I was a child. I go to work with my relative and with my colleagues.

✓ Definitely, when I was a child I went to work with my relatives and with my colleagues.

The time frame is past ('when I was a child'), so verbs should be in past tense: 'went' not 'go'. Also use plural 'relatives' if referring to family in general. Maintain consistent past tense in the sentence. (ID:5)

× I enjoy that moment when I remember.

✓ I enjoyed those moments when I remember them.

If referring to past childhood experiences, use past tense 'enjoyed' and plural 'moments' for repeated events. 'When I remember' can stay present simple to indicate when recalling, but add 'them' to clarify the object. Alternatively, make both past: 'I enjoyed those moments when I remembered them.' Choose consistent tense based on intended meaning. (IDs:5,12,22)

× I have a good feeling.

✓ I had a good feeling.

Referring to memories of childhood, past tense 'had' is appropriate. If the speaker means a current feeling when remembering, 'I have a good feeling' could be correct, but context implies past. Match tense to context. (ID:5)

× Because they they have a balance between enduring with nature and as well as having exercise that is benefit to your to their bodies.

✓ Because they have a balance between being close to nature and getting exercise, which benefits their bodies.

Remove repeated word 'they'. Use 'being close to nature' or 'spending time in nature' instead of 'enduring with nature'. Use 'getting exercise' rather than 'having exercise'. 'That is benefit to your to their bodies' is ungrammatical: use 'which benefits their bodies' and keep pronouns consistent ('their' not 'your'). Simplify structure for clarity. (IDs:12,26,11,13)

× Yeah, of course, in Salalah I would like to have a long walk because I wanna enjoy the weather and just be relaxed.

✓ Yes, of course. In Salalah I would like to take a long walk because I want to enjoy the weather and just relax.

Use 'take a long walk' (more natural) and avoid informal 'wanna' in formal responses; use 'want to'. Use 'relax' not 'be relaxed' for the intended action. Keep conditional 'would like' consistent. (IDs:4,8,13)

× Where did you go for a walk lately?

✓ Where did you go for a walk recently?

The examiner's question uses 'lately' which is more common with present perfect; in past simple use 'recently'. For past simple question 'Did you go... recently?' is more natural. Change 'lately' to 'recently' to match past simple, or change tense to present perfect: 'Where have you gone for a walk lately?'. (IDs:5,20)

× Recently I go to work with my little admirable child. We have a quality time together and work. Eventually we take a fresh juice.

✓ Recently I went to work with my little lovely child. We had quality time together and then had some fresh juice.

Since 'recently' refers to a past event, use past tense 'went', 'had'. 'Little admirable child' is awkward: 'little lovely child' or 'my young child' is better. 'Quality time' doesn't need 'a' when used generally: 'had quality time together' is acceptable. 'Eventually' is incorrect here; 'then' or 'afterwards' is more natural. 'Take a fresh juice' should be 'had some fresh juice'. Align tense and choose natural collocations. (IDs:5,13,26)
