Travelling— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid the awkward opening “it's an unpopular opinion I don't like.” Say “I prefer an aisle seat.” Use “aisle seat,” not “corridor seat,” and say “more space for my legs” instead of “a lot of space I can put my legs.” Also, use “it is easier,” not “it's more easier.” Add one specific reason and use a linking word such as “because” or “Moreover.”

Example: I prefer an aisle seat when travelling. I have more space for my legs, and it is easier to get up and go to the restroom. Moreover, I feel less confined than I do in a window seat.

Suggestion: The answer is relevant, but use consistent past tense: “I lived” and “we were going,” not “I'm living” and “we're going.” Improve the naturalness of “sick of the transport” by saying “I felt carsick” or “I was tired of being in the car.” Combine the ideas more smoothly, give a concrete detail about the journey, and avoid repeating that it was long and difficult.

Example: Yes, I did. When I was a child, my family drove from northern France to the south of France to visit my grandparents. The journey took several hours, and I felt carsick because of the long drive. However, I enjoyed spending time with my family once we arrived.

× Oh, it's an unpopular opinion I don't like to sit by the window.

✓ Oh, it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't like to sit by the window.

The two independent clauses need a conjunction to show the contrast between an unpopular opinion and the speaker's preference. Use but to connect them clearly.

× There is a lot of space I can put my legs.

✓ There is a lot of space for my legs.

The preposition for is needed to show the purpose of the space. The phrase space I can put my legs is not grammatically complete in this context.

× It's more easier to go to the restrooms.

✓ It's easier to go to the restrooms.

Easier is already a comparative adjective, so it cannot be used with more. Use either easier or more convenient, but not more easier.

× It was when we were driving to the south of France because I'm living in the north of France and we're going to see my grandparents.

✓ It was when we drove to the south of France because I was living in the north of France and we were going to see my grandparents.

The answer describes a past journey, so the verbs should be in the past tense. Use was living and were going instead of am living and are going. Drove is also a natural past-tense verb for describing the journey.

× I think I was sick of the transport.

✓ I think I felt sick during the journey.

Sick of usually means tired of or annoyed by something. To describe feeling physically unwell while travelling, use felt sick during the journey or got travel sick.
