Parks— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use past-tense consistently and a linking phrase for coherence.

Example: Yes — I loved going to parks as a child. For example, my family and I would go after school to run and cycle together, which I found fun and a great way to bond.

Suggestion: Good content and coherence. Improve naturalness by combining ideas more smoothly and avoiding redundancy (e.g., "instead" and "I find these options more convenient" are similar). Keep answer within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Not really. Because of Bangkok’s heavy traffic, I usually exercise in my apartment gym or at a 24-hour commercial gym instead, which is much more convenient and saves me travel time.

Suggestion: Improve grammar, sentence structure and specificity. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific benefits using linking words. Correct verb forms and use singular/plural consistently.

Example: Absolutely. More parks would help people relax and socialize; for example, you would see exercise classes and family picnics. In addition, extra green space would improve the community’s mental and physical well-being.

Suggestion: Fix grammar and choose precise verbs. Be specific about what impressed you and use linking words for coherence. Avoid vague or incorrect expressions like "it was impressed" or "rolling on the lake."

Example: I would love to visit Central Park in New York again. I visited a few years ago and was impressed by its vast lawns and diverse activities; for example, people were jogging, having picnics, and boating on the lake, which made the park both lively and relaxing.

× Yes, I like going to the park.

✓ Yes, I liked going to the park.

The question asks about past preference 'Did you like going to parks as a child?' so the response should be in the past tense. Use 'liked' to match the past time reference. Suggestion: Use past simple ('liked') when referring to childhood preferences.

× we used to do things like running or cycling.

✓ we used to do things like run or cycle.

After expressions like 'do things like', the base form of verbs (infinitive without 'to') is used, not the -ing form. Use 'run' and 'cycle' to match this pattern. Suggestion: Use 'do things like + base verb' for examples of activities.

× Not so much. Living in Bangkok makes it difficult to go to the park after work because of the heavy traffic, so I usually exercise in my apartment gym or at a 24 hour commercial gym instead and I find these options more convenient and they save me a lot of travel time.

✓ Not so much. Living in Bangkok makes it difficult to go to the park after work because of the heavy traffic, so I usually exercise in my apartment gym or at a 24-hour commercial gym instead, and I find these options more convenient; they save me a lot of travel time.

The sentence has punctuation and coordination issues rather than pure tense errors, but it contains run-on coordination causing clarity problems. Using proper punctuation (comma and semicolon) and hyphenating '24-hour' improves grammatical correctness and readability. 'Makes' and 'find' are correctly in present tense to describe current situation. Suggestion: Hyphenate compound adjectives ('24-hour') and break long sentences with commas or semicolons for clarity.

× Absolutely, I think more parks would be great because it help people relaxed and socialize and you can see groups doing exercise classes or families having picnics and having the extra green spaces would also improve communities well-being.

✓ Absolutely, I think more parks would be great because they help people relax and socialize. You can see groups doing exercise classes or families having picnics, and the extra green spaces would also improve communities' well-being.

Multiple issues: 'it help' is incorrect subject-verb agreement and pronoun choice; 'it' should be 'they' to refer to 'parks' (plural) and verb should be base form 'help' with plural subject—already corrected to 'help'. 'Relaxed' is adjective but here verb 'relax' is needed. 'Communities well-being' requires possessive apostrophe and hyphenation: 'communities' well-being'. Also sentence run-on—split into two sentences. Suggestion: Ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents ('parks' -> 'they'), use base verb after 'help' ('help relax'), and use possessive for 'communities' well-being ('communities' well-being'). Break long sentences for clarity.

× I would love to visit Central Park in New York again. I went there a few years ago and it was impressed by its large open spaces and the variety of activities.

✓ I would love to visit Central Park in New York again. I went there a few years ago and I was impressed by its large open spaces and the variety of activities.

'It was impressed' incorrectly uses passive with 'it' as subject; the speaker (I) is the one impressed. Use 'I was impressed' to correctly express the speaker's reaction in past tense. Suggestion: Use correct subject for feelings or impressions ('I was impressed').

× People were jogging, having picnics, and rolling on the lake, so it feels lively and relaxing at the same time.

✓ People were jogging, having picnics, and rowing on the lake, so it felt lively and relaxing at the same time.

'Rolling on the lake' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'rowing on the lake'. Also maintain past tense consistency with previous sentence ('I went' and 'I was impressed') so change 'feels' to 'felt'. Suggestion: Use accurate verbs for activities ('row' rather than 'roll') and keep past tense consistent when describing past experiences.
