Did you like going to parks as a child?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Be more grammatically accurate and concise: start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., "Yes, I loved going to parks as a child"), remove filler words (umm, really), avoid repetition, and add one or two specific details (what games you played or who you went with) using a linking word (for example, "because" or "and"). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
Example: Yes, I loved going to the large park near my house when I was a child because it was within walking distance. For example, I often played hide-and-seek with my neighbours and rode my bicycle along the tree-lined paths. I have fond memories of spending whole afternoons there.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Use correct tense and reduce repetition: begin with a clear statement about current habit ("Yes, I still enjoy going to parks") and explain frequency and activities using linking words such as "often" or "usually". Replace vague fillers and give one specific example of a recent visit.
Example: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks and I often visit them at weekends. Usually I meet a friend for coffee and we chat on a bench; sometimes I relax on the swings to clear my mind. Last weekend we spent two hours reading and talking in a quiet corner of the park.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Clarify your main idea and use correct expressions: start with a clear opinion ("Yes, I would") and give concise reasons using linking words such as "because" or "since". Avoid repetition and incorrect phrases (e.g., "improve perks"). Give one specific benefit of more parks (air quality, recreation, aesthetics).
Example: Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because they improve air quality and make urban areas more attractive. For instance, additional green spaces would provide places for families to relax and reduce heat during summer. Overall, more parks would enhance residents' well-being.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Be precise and avoid informal contractions for IELTS: say "want to" instead of "wanna" and use correct names ("a national park in Spain" or the park's name). Provide one specific reason and a brief description, using a linking word like "because" or "for example". Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Example: Yes, I want to visit a national park in Spain because it is famous for its impressive stone sculptures. For example, I would like to see the carved figures and learn about their history and the natural scenery around them. Visiting there would combine my interest in art and nature.
× Yeah, I really like to go in park as a child because, umm, near my house there's a park.
✓ Yeah, I really liked going to parks as a child because, umm, near my house there was a park.
Use 'go to the park' or 'go to parks' not 'go in park'. Also adjust tense to past ('liked','going') to match 'as a child' and use 'there was' for past existence. Use plural 'parks' if speaking generally or 'the park' for a specific park near the house. Suggestion: 'I really liked going to the park as a child because there was one near my house.'
× Really. There's a really big park and really large park.
✓ There was a really big park and a very large green area.
Repeating 'really' is awkward; use 'very' for emphasis and include articles ('a'). Also keep consistent past tense ('was'). Better to avoid redundant synonyms; choose one clear descriptor. Suggestion: 'There was a really big park near my house.'
× And I used to play there with my friends and I used to ride the bicycle there too.
✓ I used to play there with my friends and to ride my bicycle there too.
Combine parallel verbs: 'used to play' and 'used to ride' or shorten to 'used to play... and ride...'. Use 'my bicycle' or just 'ride a bicycle'. Maintain past tense. Suggestion: 'I used to play there with my friends and ride my bicycle there too.'
× Yeah, I really loved going to parks now as well.
✓ Yeah, I really like going to parks now as well.
Mixes past 'loved' with 'now'. Use present tense 'like' for current preferences. Suggestion: 'I really like going to parks now as well.'
× And I usually take some coffee with my friends and I usually talk with them and like and sometimes I play with swings.
✓ I usually have some coffee with my friends, talk with them, and sometimes use the swings.
'Take some coffee' is non-idiomatic; use 'have coffee'. Remove redundant 'usually'. 'Play with swings' should be 'use the swings' or 'play on the swings'. Keep consistent verb forms. Suggestion: 'I usually have coffee with my friends, talk with them, and sometimes play on the swings.'
× Yeah, I'd like to because umm, the park looks really improve perks, improve the, umm, the city's view really like, well, because it's green and green, there's I, I think my city needs more greenery.
✓ Yeah, I'd like more parks because they really improve the city's appearance; they are green, and I think my city needs more greenery.
Original has incorrect verb form 'looks really improve'; use 'improve' with plural subject 'parks' or 'parks improve'. Avoid repetition ('green and green') and fix word order. Use 'appearance' or 'view' correctly. Suggestion: 'I'd like more parks because they improve the city's appearance and add greenery.'
× So yeah, I'd like to.
✓ So yeah, I'd like that.
Small clarification: 'I'd like' is acceptable but adding 'that' clarifies the object. Not strictly necessary but improves fluency. Suggestion: 'So yeah, I'd like that.'
× Yes, I really wanna visit the natural park, Natural National Park in Spain and there is really beautiful stone sculpt man there and I really wanna see that and that's why I really wanna visit there in the future.
✓ Yes, I really want to visit the Natural National Park in Spain; there is a really beautiful stone sculpture there, and I want to see it, so I plan to visit in the future.
Use 'want to' instead of colloquial 'wanna' in formal responses; capitalize proper noun 'Natural National Park'. 'Stone sculpt man' is incorrect — use 'stone sculpture' or 'statue'. Use 'visit in the future' not 'visit there in the future' for concision. Maintain consistent verb forms. Suggestion: 'I want to visit the Natural National Park in Spain because there is a beautiful stone sculpture there.'
