Parks— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Directly answer in past tense and start with a clear topic sentence. Avoid mixing tenses and be more concise: explain frequency and reason with one linking word (e.g., because). Add a brief specific memory or activity to enrich content. Keep under five sentences.

Example: Yes, I liked going to parks as a child, but I rarely went because the nearest park was a 20-minute drive from my home. For example, I usually visited only on weekends when my parents had time to drive us, so trips were infrequent.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence and use linking words to connect ideas. Combine related activities and give a little more specific detail (how often, where, or with whom) to make the answer more informative and natural. Keep it concise and avoid repeating 'love'.

Example: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks. I often play badminton there with friends on weekends and go jogging in the mornings to keep fit.

Suggestion: Use proper singular/plural and article forms (e.g., 'more parks', 'a park'). Start with a direct topic sentence and give a reason using a linking word like 'because' or 'so'. Provide a specific benefit or feature you want in a nearby park.

Example: Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because I want a park within walking distance of my home. A nearby park would make it easier to exercise daily and meet neighbors for social activities.

Suggestion: Answer directly and confidently; avoid asking the examiner a question back. Use a clear topic sentence and provide specific details about why you want to visit (activities, attractions, location). Keep it within five sentences.

Example: Yes, I would like to visit Khao Yai National Park in Thailand. I am interested in its hiking trails and wildlife watching, and I hope to go there to see forests and waterfalls and to try some guided nature tours.

× I do, but I didn't get a lot of chances to go to the park because the park there is around 20 minutes drive from our homes.

✓ I did, but I didn't get many chances to go to the park because the park there was around a 20-minute drive from our home.

The response begins with present 'I do' while the question asks about childhood (past). Use past tense 'I did'. 'A lot of' is acceptable but 'many' suits countable 'chances'. Use 'was' for location in past. '20 minutes drive' needs hyphenation and singular 'home' for the speaker's family unit or use 'our homes' only if referring to multiple separate homes; here 'our home' or 'my home' is clearer.

× Yes, I still love to go to a park, I love to go play badminton with my friends and jogging for my health.

✓ Yes, I still love going to the park; I enjoy playing badminton with my friends and jogging for my health.

Use consistent form: 'love going' is more natural than 'love to go' with activities. 'Go play' should be 'playing' after 'enjoy'. Coordinate verbs in the same form. Use 'the park' (specific) if referring generally to parks, or 'parks' if plural. Use semicolon or split into two sentences to avoid comma splice.

× I would love to see more park in my city. I want a park that close to my house that it is a walkable distance.

✓ I would love to see more parks in my city. I want a park that is close to my house and within walking distance.

'More park' should be plural 'more parks'. 'That close' requires the verb 'is'. 'That it is' is redundant; combine into 'and within walking distance' for natural phrasing.

× This National Park count as one? If yes, I do have one there. There is this one National Park in Thailand that I am very interested to go visit one day.

✓ Does this national park count as one? If yes, I do have one in mind. There is a national park in Thailand that I would very much like to visit one day.

Questions require auxiliary 'does' for present tense: 'Does this national park count as one?'. 'I do have one there' is awkward; 'I do have one in mind' is clearer. Use 'would like to visit' or 'would very much like to visit' rather than 'am very interested to go visit'. Capitalization: 'national park' need not be capitalized unless part of a proper name. Avoid duplicate 'one'.
