Travelling— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is natural and relevant, with good feeling vocabulary. To improve, tighten structure: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific details using linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g., 'the moment' and 'just think about nothing') and reduce sentence length to stay within the 5-sentence guideline.

Example: Yes, I do. I often look out of the window while listening to my favorite music because watching the passing landscape helps me relax. For example, I enjoy seeing city streets change into fields or trees, which makes long journeys feel shorter and more peaceful.

Suggestion: Good direct response and clear reason. To improve, use a topic sentence and then give one specific supporting detail with a linking word. Replace contractions or awkward phrasing ('won't do that') with natural present-tense expressions, and avoid overgeneralization (e.g., 'always').

Example: No, I usually don't. I prefer to enjoy the view because photos taken from a moving car are often blurry, so I don't think it's worth trying to capture them.

Suggestion: Clear preference and relevant reasons. To improve, make the answer more concise and correct minor grammar errors (subject-verb agreement, article use). Use linking words to connect reasons and provide one specific example or short comparison to the sea to enrich the response.

Example: I prefer the mountains because I enjoy climbing, which keeps me fit and lets me breathe fresh air. For instance, on recent hikes I heard many birds singing and felt much more relaxed than when I spend time at the beach.

× I really enjoy the moment when I stare at the scenery outside the window listening to my favorite music and just think about nothing.

✓ I really enjoy the moment when I stare at the scenery outside the window, listen to my favorite music and just think about nothing.

The original sentence uses a sequence of verbs in different forms: 'stare' + 'listening' + 'think'. For parallel structure, coordinate verbs should share the same form. Change 'listening' to the base verb 'listen' so all verbs are simple present. Also add a comma to separate clauses for clarity.

× No, I won't do that.

✓ No, I wouldn't do that.

The question asks about habitual or preference (present/typical behavior). Using 'won't' sounds like refusal in a specific future instance. 'Wouldn't' expresses a general preference/habit (I would not do that), which fits the context better. Alternatively 'I don't' is also acceptable for present habit.

× I just want to enjoy the very moment instead of taking a photo and the photo will always turn out blurry if the car is moving.

✓ I just want to enjoy the moment instead of taking a photo, because photos always turn out blurry when the car is moving.

The original is wordy ('very moment') and mixes clauses awkwardly. 'Very moment' is nonstandard here; 'the moment' suffices. Use 'because' to link reason clearly and change 'will always turn out' to 'always turn out' for general truth. Also use 'when' for the condition rather than 'if' to express the typical situation.

× I prefer the mountains.

✓ I prefer mountains.

When speaking generally about a preference for a type of landscape, the plural noun without 'the' is natural: 'I prefer mountains' or 'I prefer the mountains' can both be used, but 'I prefer mountains' is more general. If the speaker means mountains in general, omit the definite article. This correction is stylistic; either form is grammatically acceptable.

× Climbing is my favorite sport, it helps me to keep fit and when you are climbing the mountain, you can enjoy the beautiful nature environment such as the singing bird, the fresh air.

✓ Climbing is my favorite sport; it helps me keep fit, and when you climb mountains you can enjoy the beautiful natural environment, such as singing birds and fresh air.

The original is a comma splice and has awkward phrasing. Use a semicolon or period to avoid comma splice. 'Helps me to keep fit' -> 'helps me keep fit' is more natural. Shift 'when you are climbing the mountain' to 'when you climb mountains' for generality. 'Beautiful nature environment' is unidiomatic; use 'beautiful natural environment'. Make nouns plural consistent: 'singing bird' -> 'singing birds'.

× It's really helps me to relax.

✓ It really helps me relax.

'It's really helps' is ungrammatical because the contraction 'it's' (it is) cannot be followed by a verb in present tense 'helps'. Remove 'is' so the subject is 'It' with verb 'helps'. Also 'helps me to relax' -> 'helps me relax' is more idiomatic.
