Did you like going to parks as a child?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Begin with a clear, natural topic sentence and avoid hesitations and repetition. Use correct word order and grammar (e.g., “I really liked going to the playground with my childhood friend”). Add one brief supporting detail (why it was enjoyable) using a linking word.
Example: Yes, I did. I really liked going to the playground with my childhood friend because we loved playing on the swings and inventing games together.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Use present tense consistently and produce a concise, coherent reply. Start with a direct statement about your current habit, then give one clear supporting detail with a linking word. Avoid irrelevant or confusing sentences.
Example: Yes, I do. I often go to parks to sit on a bench and listen to music because it helps me relax after work.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: Give a clear, logical reason for your opinion and avoid unclear or incorrect words. Use linking words (for example, “because” or “so”) and a concise supporting detail about space or planning. Replace unclear vocabulary with accurate expressions.
Example: Yes, I would. Because my city is small and lacks green spaces, more parks would improve residents' quality of life and provide places to relax.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Answer directly and expand with a specific reason and a linking word. Mention what appeals to you about that park or when you might go. Avoid vague phrases like “depends on my future.”
Example: Yes. I’d like to visit Park X (for example, Central Park in New York) because I want to see its famous sights and walk along its paths when I travel abroad next year.
× Yes I did. I very liked, uh, going to to the playground with my childhood friend. And. Yeah.
✓ Yes, I did. I really liked going to the playground with my childhood friend.
The adverb 'very' cannot directly modify 'liked' in this context; use 'really' or 'very much'. A repeated 'to' is a typographical error and should be removed. Also remove sentence fragments 'And. Yeah.' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'I really liked going to the playground with my childhood friend.'
× Yes, I do. I really enjoyed going to the bench. Uh, I spent a lot of time sitting on the bench and, uh, listening to music. Yeah, when I was born. I go to bed.
✓ Yes, I do. I really enjoy going to the bench. I spend a lot of time sitting on the bench and listening to music. When I was born, I would go to bed. or If you meant current habit: 'Now I go to bed early.'
Mixed tenses and incorrect time reference cause confusion. The response begins with present 'Yes, I do' so verbs describing current habits should be in present simple ('enjoy', 'spend'). The phrase 'When I was born' is incorrect for describing a habit; likely intended 'When I was a child' or 'When I was young.' 'I go to bed' lacks time marker and mismatches 'when I was born.' Provide options: for past habit use past tense 'I spent...' and 'When I was a child, I went to bed' or for present habit keep present tenses.
× Yes, I'd like to see more parks in my city, but my city is small and. Brightly, it's still Bolshevik.
✓ Yes, I'd like to see more parks in my city, but my city is small and, unfortunately, it's still undeveloped.
Sentence fragments and incorrect word choice: 'and.' ends the clause prematurely. 'Brightly' is an incorrect adverb here and 'Bolshevik' is likely the wrong word for describing city condition. Replace with appropriate vocabulary such as 'unfortunately' and 'undeveloped' or 'not very developed.' Ensure clauses are complete and connectors are correct.
× I'd like to visit Barkham in another country. It depends on my future.
✓ I'd like to visit Barkham in another country. It depends on my future plans.
The phrase 'depends on my future' is vague and unnatural. 'Depends on my future plans' or 'depends on my future circumstances' is clearer. Also ensure 'Barkham' is a place name; if so, keep it capitalized. The tense 'I'd like' is correct for a future desire; clarify dependency with a noun phrase.
