Did you like going to parks as a child?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Be more direct and grammatically correct: start with a clear topic sentence about whether you liked parks, avoid tense errors and irrelevant words, and give one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "for example") to make the answer coherent. Keep it within 2–4 sentences.
Example: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child because they were one of the few busy places in our neighborhood. For example, I often met my friends there to play games and we usually spent the whole afternoon together, which was always enjoyable.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Score: 54.0Suggestion: Avoid redundancy and incorrect verb tenses. Give a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details with linking words (e.g., "because", "so"). Use present simple or present continuous consistently when talking about current habits.
Example: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks now because they help me relax and bring back childhood memories. For example, I often walk alone there when I have free time to reflect and remember how I used to play as a child.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Answer directly and correct grammar (use "didn't have"). Provide one clear reason why more parks are needed and one specific suggestion. Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas and avoid fillers like "uh" and repeated phrases.
Example: Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because we had few green spaces when I was growing up. So, I hope the city will build parks in residential areas to give children and families safe places to play and relax.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Be concise and correct: give a clear topic sentence stating whether you want to visit a specific park, briefly explain why, and avoid repetition. Use linking words such as "because" or "so" and correct word order (e.g., "I would really like to visit it").
Example: Yes, there is a park in Dhaka that I saw on YouTube and I would really like to visit it because it looks very well designed and spacious. I hope to go there soon to explore the attractions and relax for a day.
× Yeah, I still like to go in parks.
✓ Yeah, I still like to go to parks.
Use the correct preposition 'to' with the verb 'go' when referring to a destination. 'Go in parks' is incorrect; say 'go to parks'.
× As a child with my parents and with my friends growing up, we didn't had a lot of bugs around our neighborhood, but we had one.
✓ As a child growing up with my parents and friends, we didn't have many parks around our neighborhood, but we had one.
The auxiliary 'didn't' requires the base form of the verb, so 'had' should be 'have'. Also 'a lot of bugs' is likely intended to be 'a lot of parks' given context; use 'many' with countable plural 'parks'. Reorder phrase for clarity.
× It was very crowded, but often times I went there and met with my friends and it was very enjoyable.
✓ It was very crowded, but I often went there, met my friends, and found it very enjoyable.
'Often times' should be 'often' or 'often times' (one word 'oftentimes' or 'often'); placement of adverb 'often' is better before the verb. Use parallel verb forms ('went', 'met') and change 'it was very enjoyable' to 'found it very enjoyable' for natural expression.
× Even though I'm an adult right now, but I still have to still like to go to the park alone.
✓ Even though I'm an adult now, I still like to go to the park alone.
Do not use both 'even though' and 'but' together; they are redundant. Remove 'but' and the extra 'have to' and duplicate 'still'. Use 'now' instead of 'right now' for conciseness if desired.
× I feel very nostalgic going there, walking around in the park, remembering the the way I used to play there.
✓ I feel very nostalgic going there, walking around the park, and remembering the way I used to play there.
Remove duplicated 'the the'. 'Walking around in the park' is acceptable but 'walking around the park' is more natural. Add 'and' for proper linkage of gerund phrases.
× And yeah, whenever I get free time, I went there and feel very nostalgic.
✓ And yeah, whenever I get free time, I go there and feel very nostalgic.
Maintain present tense when describing habitual actions: 'whenever I get free time' requires present simple 'I go', not past 'I went'.
× Yeah, growing up we didn't had a lot of bugs in our area and, and basically in our city we didn't had a lot of parks.
✓ Yeah, growing up we didn't have a lot of parks in our area, and basically in our city we didn't have many parks.
As before, use base form after 'didn't' ('have' not 'had'). Use 'many' for countable plural 'parks' and remove repeated filler 'and, and'.
× But I wish, I wish that this generation get a chance to go to park and I wish that the city, uh, builds more parks around our neighborhood and all over the city.
✓ But I wish this generation could get a chance to go to parks, and I hope the city will build more parks around our neighborhood and throughout the city.
Use a past modal 'could' with 'wish' when expressing a desire about possibility. Use 'hope' or 'would' for future actions by city. Use plural 'parks' and 'throughout' for natural phrasing.
× I don't remember the name but there is a park in a in Dhaka which I saw on YouTube and I I really want to go there even though I'm an adult right now but I I I would like to very go there and have some enjoyable time there.
✓ I don't remember the name, but there is a park in Dhaka that I saw on YouTube, and I really want to go there even though I'm an adult now. I would really like to go there and have an enjoyable time.
Remove duplicated 'in a in' and repeated 'I'. Use 'that' instead of 'which' for restrictive clause. Avoid using both 'even though' and 'but' together. 'Would like to very go' is incorrect order—use 'would really like to go'. Use 'an enjoyable time' for correct article use.
