Did you like going to parks as a child?

Candidate

Of course, I loved very much to go to the parks. Uh, when I was a child, uh, I had gone to the parks with my friends. Uh, there was a big garden. Uh, there were many, uh, applications for children and that was so funny to go there with friends and have a good day.

Examiner

Do you still like going to parks now?

Candidate

I am an introvert, so I don't like to go to the parks now, but sometimes I go there with my friends 'cause they want to go there and I don't want to deny them to say that I don't want to go, but I don't like it very much 'cause there are many people.

Examiner

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Candidate

No, 'cause there are many parks in my city. I don't think that we need more parks. I live in the massive, that's the part of Romania, and there are many, many, many parks. And if I would, if I like to go, I can go anywhere.

Examiner

Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?

Candidate

In Armenia, uh, is very big park called year 1 park. Uh, I have been, uh, there when I was, uh, 12 years old in my birthday party, but uh, I want to go there again because I, uh, haven't did anything I want.

Part 1

Did you like going to parks as a child?

Score: 65.0

Suggestion: Ответ звучал искренне, но есть несколько проблем: 1) грамматика и времена (например, «I had gone» неуместно, лучше «I used to go» или «I went»); 2) много заполнителей «uh» и повторов; 3) фразы не очень точные («applications for children» — неправильный выбор слова). Совету: используйте простое прошедшее или «used to», избегайте звуковых пауз и заменяйте их короткими паузами, давайте одно-два конкретных подробных примера (например, аттракционы, пикники), и используйте связки («for example», «also").

Example: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. I used to go there every weekend with my friends, where we played on the swings and had picnics. For example, there was a big rose garden we liked to visit, and we often spent the whole afternoon there.

Do you still like going to parks now?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Ответ понятен, но слишком длинный и немного сумбурный. Проблемы: избыточные пояснения и повторы («I don't like», «I don't want»), разговорные сокращения («'cause»). Совет: начните с краткого прямого утверждения, затем добавьте одно или два конкретных объяснения с логическими связками («because», «however"). Упражняйтесь в сокращении повторов и используйте более формальные союзы.

Example: I don't go to parks very often now because I am an introvert and I prefer quieter places. However, I sometimes join my friends when they invite me, even though I find busy parks a bit overwhelming.

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Ответ прямо отвечает на вопрос, но содержит грамматические ошибки, повторы и неясные фразы («I live in the massive»). Советы: давайте краткий, чёткий ответ, объясняющий причину, избегайте повторов и исправляйте конструкцию условного («If I want to go, I can go anywhere"). Уточните географию корректно и используйте связки («because», «so").

Example: No, I don't think we need more parks because my city already has plenty of green spaces. I live in a large region of Romania, so I can easily visit different parks when I want to relax.

Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Ответ содержит много пауз, грамматических ошибок и неясность в последней части («haven't did anything I want»). Нужно чётко назвать парк, кратко рассказать об опыте и объяснить причину возвращения с конкретикой (что вы хотели бы сделать). Используйте правильные времена (I visited / I have not done), избегайте «uh» и давайте 1–2 подробности.

Example: Yes, there is a large park in Armenia called Year 1 Park that I would like to visit again. I visited it for my 12th birthday, but I didn't have time to explore everything, so next time I want to walk the trails and take photos of the views.

Grammar

Incorrect word order / infinitive usage

× Of course, I loved very much to go to the parks.

✓ Of course, I loved going to the parks very much.

The original sentence uses an incorrect word order with 'loved very much to go'. In English, 'love' followed by an action typically uses the gerund ('loving going') or the infinitive; however 'loved going to the parks very much' is natural. Move 'very much' after the verb phrase. Suggestion: use 'loved going to the parks very much.'

Past perfect tense misuse

× Uh, when I was a child, uh, I had gone to the parks with my friends.

✓ When I was a child, I went to the parks with my friends.

The speaker used past perfect ('had gone') unnecessarily. Past perfect is used to show an action completed before another past action. Here a simple past ('went') is appropriate to describe habitual past activity. Suggestion: use simple past for past habits or single past events.

Word choice / countable noun

× Uh, there was a big garden.

✓ There was a big garden.

This sentence is actually grammatical; no change needed. The speaker's original is acceptable. Use countable noun 'garden' with 'a' correctly.

Incorrect word choice ('applications')

× Uh, there were many, uh, applications for children and that was so funny to go there with friends and have a good day.

✓ There were many attractions for children, and it was so fun to go there with friends and have a good day.

The word 'applications' is incorrect in this context; likely intended 'attractions' or 'activities'. Also 'was so funny' is awkward; 'was so fun' or 'was a lot of fun' is natural. Suggestion: use 'attractions' or 'activities' and 'it was so fun' or 'it was a lot of fun.'

Article and plural consistency

× I am an introvert, so I don't like to go to the parks now, but sometimes I go there with my friends 'cause they want to go there and I don't want to deny them to say that I don't want to go, but I don't like it very much 'cause there are many people.

✓ I am an introvert, so I don't like going to parks now, but sometimes I go with my friends because they want to, and I don't want to tell them I don't want to go. I don't enjoy it very much because there are many people.

Use 'going to parks' (no definite article) or 'going to the park' for general meaning. 'Don't want to deny them to say...' is ungrammatical; correct is 'don't want to tell them I don't want to go.' Use 'don't enjoy it' or 'I don't like it very much.' Also expand contractions for clarity. Suggestion: simplify clauses and use 'tell' instead of 'deny them to say.'

Article and wording

× No, 'cause there are many parks in my city.

✓ No, because there are many parks in my city.

Use 'because' instead of informal ''cause' in formal speech. Sentence is otherwise fine.

Article and adjective order

× I live in the massive, that's the part of Romania, and there are many, many, many parks.

✓ I live in a large area of Romania, and there are many parks.

'The massive' is incorrect noun usage. Use 'a large area' or 'a big city' depending on meaning. Also 'that's the part of Romania' is unnatural; rephrase to 'of Romania.' Suggestion: say 'I live in a large area of Romania.'

Incorrect conditional / verb form

× And if I would, if I like to go, I can go anywhere.

✓ And if I wanted to go, I could go anywhere.

The original mixes conditonal forms. For hypothetical present situations use second conditional: 'If I wanted to go, I could go anywhere.' Do not use 'if I would.' Suggestion: use 'wanted' and 'could.'

Article and word order

× In Armenia, uh, is very big park called year 1 park.

✓ In Armenia, there is a very big park called Year 1 Park.

Missing existential 'there is' construction. Also need article 'a' or use 'there is a very big park.' Capitalize park name and include 'called.' Suggestion: use 'There is a very big park called...'.

Past tense and word order

× Uh, I have been, uh, there when I was, uh, 12 years old in my birthday party,

✓ I was there when I was 12 years old for my birthday party.

Mixes present perfect 'have been' with a specific past time ('when I was 12'), which requires simple past. Use 'I was there when I was 12' or 'I have been there' without specifying a past time. Also 'in my birthday party' should be 'for my birthday party.' Suggestion: use simple past and correct preposition.

Verb form (do)

× but uh, I want to go there again because I, uh, haven't did anything I want.

✓ but I want to go there again because I haven't done everything I wanted to do.

'Haven't did' is incorrect: after 'have' use past participle 'done.' Also the meaning is unclear; likely intended 'haven't done everything I wanted to do.' Use past participle and adjust tense consistency. Suggestion: 'I haven't done everything I wanted to do.'
