Travelling— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your response directly answers the question and gives a reason, which is good. To improve, make the answer more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words (for example, 'so' or 'because'). Avoid redundancy (e.g., 'dizzy and nauseous' is fine but don't repeat the idea). Also try to keep to a maximum of about 3–4 sentences and finish with a brief comment or feeling to enrich the response.

Example: No, I usually avoid looking out of the window because I get motion sickness, which makes me feel dizzy and nauseous. As a result, I often close my eyes or sleep during journeys, so I miss the scenery most of the time.

Suggestion: You answer the question but the response is incomplete and a bit informal. Improve by giving a clear topic sentence ('Yes, I do') and one specific supporting detail (what you photograph or why). Use linking words (for example, 'because' and 'so') and avoid filler phrases like 'you know'. Keep sentences complete and finish the thought.

Example: Yes, I do when I feel well enough, because I enjoy capturing interesting landscapes or unusual light through the window. For example, I often photograph mountains or colourful skies to remember the trip.

Suggestion: This is a strong response: clear preference plus supporting details and personal feeling. To improve further, tighten the language, avoid conversational fillers like 'you know', and use a linking phrase to connect ideas (for example, 'because' or 'as a result'). Aim for slightly more specific examples or a brief comparison to the sea.

Example: I prefer the mountains because being surrounded by trees, birds and small streams relaxes me and helps me feel refreshed. Compared with the sea, I like the quiet and fresh air of mountain trails, which make me feel more alive.

× I unfortunately have motion sickness so whenever I'm traveling I avoid looking at the window because it makes me feel so dizzy and nauseous.

✓ I unfortunately have motion sickness, so whenever I'm travelling I avoid looking out of the window because it makes me feel very dizzy and nauseous.

Tense is present and correct, but small issues: use British spelling consistent with 'travelling' (optional) and the preposition with 'look out of the window' is more natural than 'looking at the window'. Also add a comma before 'so' to join independent clauses and change 'so' (redundant) to 'very' for clarity. Improve flow by replacing 'so' before 'dizzy' with 'very'. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× I'm always just sleeping whenever I'm traveling so I think I miss out a lot because of this sickness.

✓ I'm almost always sleeping whenever I'm travelling, so I think I miss out on a lot because of this sickness.

Use of present continuous is fine, but 'always just sleeping' is awkward; 'almost always sleeping' or 'usually asleep' is clearer. Use 'miss out on' (correct phrasal verb) rather than 'miss out' alone. Add comma before 'so'. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× If I am feeling OK, then I definitely do it because I like capturing a moment in my camera, which you know, I can just capture things in from my eyes and.

✓ If I am feeling OK, then I definitely do, because I like capturing moments with my camera; I can record what I see with my own eyes.

Sentence has several problems: 'do it' is vague—'do' suffices (omit 'it'). 'Capturing a moment in my camera' is incorrect preposition use; use 'with my camera'. 'Capture things in from my eyes' is ungrammatical—use 'record what I see with my own eyes'. Also remove trailing conjunction 'and'. This mainly involves verb+ -ing phrasing and preposition corrections. Grammar problem type ID: 8

× I like capturing a moment in my camera, which you know, I can just capture things in from my eyes and.

✓ I like capturing a moment with my camera; as you know, I can record what I see with my own eyes.

Incorrect prepositions 'in my camera' and 'in from my eyes' should be 'with my camera' and 'what I see with my own eyes'. Also replace informal filler and remove dangling 'and'. This is primarily a preposition error. Grammar problem type ID: 11

× I definitely prefer the mountains. I really love nature, so being surrounded by trees, birds, small streams and beautiful skies, it gives me so much relaxation and I feel alive, you know?

✓ I definitely prefer the mountains. I really love nature, so being surrounded by trees, birds, small streams and beautiful skies gives me a lot of relaxation and makes me feel alive.

Remove the extra comma after 'skies' and avoid redundant 'it' (subject mismatch). Use 'gives me a lot of relaxation' or better 'relaxes me a lot' and 'makes me feel alive' to keep subject-verb agreement and natural phrasing. This fixes present tense and sentence structure issues.
