Score: 64.0Suggestion: Speak in clearer grammar and use a short topic sentence first. In English (Cambodia): “Start with one clear sentence, then add one or two specific details. Use past tense correctly and avoid repeating the same idea.” For example, say the main point, then give one reason and one short example.
Example: Yes, I enjoyed going to parks as a child. I often went there when I had free time because walking among trees helped me relax. For example, I remember sitting under a big tree reading storybooks which made me feel calm.

Score: 70.0Suggestion: Be concise and vary vocabulary. In English (Cambodia): “Start with a clear statement about now, then give one or two specific reasons. Use linking words like ‘because’ or ‘so’ correctly and avoid repeating the same word.” Mention a specific activity you do there to be concrete.
Example: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks now because they help me relax and clear my mind. For instance, I often take my homework and sit by a bench to study, which makes studying less stressful.

Score: 60.0Suggestion: Improve clarity and grammar; give one clear reason with a short consequence. In English (Cambodia): “Give a direct answer first, then one precise reason with cause and effect. Avoid unclear phrases and incorrect articles.” Use linking words like ‘because’ and ‘so’ correctly.

Score: 55.0Suggestion: Be specific and correct grammar; avoid confusing words. In English (Cambodia): “Start with the park name, then give two clear reasons using correct verbs and vocabulary. Do not use wrong words (e.g., ‘snacks’ not ‘snakes’).” Mention concrete sights or activities you want to do there.
Example: I would like to visit Potomac Park in the future because it has many nice views along the riverside. I could walk along the water and try different street snacks from vendors, which sounds fun.
× Yes I did, I like go to the park when I when I have free time because it helps me to release stress and help me refresh my feeling and it make my feeling is calm down so I enjoy walking at the park.
✓ Yes, I did. I liked going to the park when I had free time because it helped me release stress, refreshed my feelings, and made me feel calm, so I enjoyed walking in the park.
The student mixed past and present forms inconsistently. Use past tense to describe childhood habits: 'liked', 'going', 'had', 'helped', 'refresh(ed)', 'made', 'felt', and 'enjoyed'. Also use correct verb forms and prepositions (going to the park -> going to the park; walking at the park -> walking in the park). Suggestion: keep the same past tense for all actions when talking about the past and use correct verb forms (e.g., 'release' -> 'release' as base paired with 'helped' becomes 'helped me release' or 'helped me to release').
× Currently I like going to the park as the same reason because it helps me to relax, to release the stress and help me refresh my feelings and sometime I take my homework to do at the park.
✓ Currently, I like going to the park for the same reasons because it helps me relax, release stress, and refresh my feelings. Sometimes I take my homework to do at the park.
The student should use consistent present tense and correct noun/verb forms: 'for the same reasons', 'release stress' (no article), 'refresh my feelings', 'sometimes' (spelling), and place commas for clarity. Use infinitive without 'to' after 'helps' optionally: 'helps me relax' or 'helps me to relax'. Suggestion: maintain present simple for habitual actions and check plural nouns and adverb spelling.
× Yes a cough because the more park we have the more good weather and not hot temperature.
✓ Yes, of course, because the more parks we have, the better the weather and the less hot the temperature will be.
The original used 'a cough' (incorrect word) and incorrect comparative structure. Use 'of course' for affirmation. Use plural 'parks' with 'more parks' and a parallel comparative: 'the more X we have, the better Y will be' and 'less hot' rather than 'not hot'. Suggestion: use correct idiom 'of course' and the comparative correlative 'the more..., the more/less...'. Also include articles and auxiliaries for future implication ('will be') if needed.
× It's calm down the temperature and it help the city look great and look interesting for people.
✓ It calms down the temperature and helps the city look great and more interesting to people.
Subject-verb agreement and present tense required: singular subject 'it' needs verbs 'calms' and 'helps'. Use 'more interesting to people' rather than 'look interesting for people'. Suggestion: ensure verbs agree with subjects and use 'to' with 'interesting' when indicating who finds it interesting.
× I would like to go to the Potomac park because it have the a lot of view and I can walk through the Riverside and see other people share some snakes along the street so I can have a lot of food to to choose.
✓ I would like to go to Potomac Park because it has a lot of views, and I can walk along the riverside and see other people selling snacks along the street, so I will have many foods to choose from.
Multiple errors: 'Potomac park' should be 'Potomac Park' (name) and 'it have' should be 'it has' (singular subject). 'A lot of view' -> 'a lot of views' or 'lots of scenery'. 'Walk through the Riverside' -> 'walk along the riverside'. 'Share some snakes' is likely 'sell snacks'; corrected to 'selling snacks'. 'A lot of food to to choose' -> 'many foods to choose from' or better 'many food options to choose from'. Suggestion: check singular/plural forms, correct verbs for third person singular, and choose correct vocabulary ('snacks' not 'snakes'); use 'choose from' after 'choose'.
