Travelling— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, correct grammar, and add one specific reason with a linking word. Avoid repetition. Keep to 2–3 concise sentences.

Example: Yes, I prefer to sit by the window when travelling because I enjoy the changing scenery. For example, looking at landscapes or city views helps me relax and makes the journey feel shorter.

Suggestion: Start with a clear direct response, use correct tense and sentence structure, and give one specific detail (where you went or why journeys were short). Use a linking word to connect ideas and avoid fillers.

Example: No, we rarely had long journeys when I was a child because my family preferred short trips. For instance, we usually drove to nearby beaches or parks for day trips rather than travelling far away.

× Yes because it's more interesting and you can the whole time sit by the window and the time goes faster.

✓ Yes, because it's more interesting and you can sit by the window the whole time, so the time goes faster.

Original sentence misorders elements and omits the verb position: 'you can the whole time sit' is incorrect word order. Move the verb 'sit' before the adverbial phrase: 'sit by the window the whole time'. Also add a comma and 'so' to connect the clauses clearly. Suggestion: place verbs before adverbial phrases and use connectors for clarity.

× Not really long because our family are not so I don't like a very long journeys.

✓ Not really; our family is not very fond of long journeys, so I don't like very long journeys.

The noun 'family' is a collective noun that in this context takes singular verb 'is' rather than 'are'. Also 'a very long journeys' mixes singular article with plural noun; use 'very long journeys' or 'a very long journey'. Rephrase for clarity: 'our family is not very fond of long journeys' and keep number agreement consistent.

× We prefer like a little short shorter.

✓ We prefer shorter journeys.

The phrase contains redundant and conflicting quantifiers/adjectives: 'a little short shorter' is ungrammatical. Use a simple comparative 'shorter' or 'a little shorter' but not both. Suggestion: choose one form, e.g. 'shorter journeys' or 'a little shorter trips'.

× Um Yeah.

✓ Um, yeah.

As an utterance, 'Um Yeah' needs punctuation and lowercase consistency: 'Um, yeah.' In formal writing, filler words should be minimized; in transcripts keep them but format properly with a comma.
