Travelling— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and directly answers the question, and you give a reason and supporting details. However, you repeat “I love” several times, and “admiring it” is grammatically inaccurate because “surroundings” and “new things” are plural. Use more varied linking and vocabulary, such as “because,” “for example,” and “as a result.” You could also make the answer more specific by mentioning what you enjoy seeing from the window. Keep the response concise and natural.

Example: Yes, I definitely prefer sitting by the window when I travel because I enjoy watching the scenery go by. For example, I can see mountains, small towns, or beautiful coastlines that I would otherwise miss. It also makes the journey feel more interesting and relaxing.

Suggestion: You answer the question directly, but the response is too short and simply repeats the wording of the question. Add specific supporting details, such as where you went, how long the journey lasted, what you did during the trip, and how you felt about it. Use a linking word such as “because,” “although,” or “so” to connect your ideas. Aim for two or three natural sentences rather than stopping after the initial answer.

Example: Yes, I did. When I was about eight, my family and I took a ten-hour road trip to visit my grandparents in the countryside. It was quite tiring, but I enjoyed playing games with my siblings and stopping at interesting places along the way.

× Yes, I love to sit by the window when I'm traveling because I love looking at my surroundings and experiencing everything that is in store for me. I love looking at new things, admiring it and possibly learning from it as well.

✓ Yes, I love to sit by the window when I'm traveling because I love looking at my surroundings and experiencing everything that is in store for me. I love looking at new things, admiring them and possibly learning from them as well.

The pronouns "it" refer to "new things," which is plural. Therefore, the plural pronoun "them" must be used instead of "it." Use "them" when referring to plural people or things, and use "it" when referring to a singular noun or an uncountable noun.
