Examiner
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Candidate
Yes, I remember when I was young, my parents always brought me to the park. I usually play all day and that was fun. I remember meeting new friends and playing with them the entire day. It's almost a whale of time and we really do have fun there. We play around, run, ride our, ride our.
Examiner
Do you still like going to parks now?
Candidate
Absolutely. Park is really important to me as an adult because mentally I can reset, I can unwind and enjoy the nature. I regularly visit the open spaces and the greenery spaces so I can unload some of the stress and I'm using it as a.
Examiner
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Candidate
I think there is a great idea. If our local government or the City Council can promote or push for more open spaces, park or gardens, I think that will definitely benefit the community. The families can visit there with their children and I think that it will be.
Examiner
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Candidate
I will definitely visit New York Central Park. I've seen it in many films and I dream to go there with my family once we have the fun or once we can afford it it. I think it's a definitely great experience to have that.
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Be more concise and correct word choice; open with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, fix pronunciation/mistakes (e.g., 'whale of time' → 'a whale of a time' or better: 'a great time'), and provide one specific supporting detail. Use linking words to connect ideas.
Example: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. My parents would take me every weekend, and I spent hours playing on the swings and making new friends, which helped me become more outgoing.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and avoid incomplete sentences. Use correct noun forms ('parks' or 'the park', 'green spaces'), varied vocabulary (reset → recharge), and add a specific activity you do there. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' to connect reason and result.
Example: Absolutely — I still enjoy parks because they help me recharge mentally. For example, I often walk along tree-lined paths and sit by ponds to relax, so I return home feeling less stressed.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Give a direct opinion first, then two specific benefits, avoid vague endings. Use correct plural/singular forms ('parks or gardens') and linking words ('because','for example'). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Example: Yes, I would — more parks would improve quality of life. For example, they would give children safe places to play and provide adults with areas to exercise and socialise, which would strengthen the community.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: State the park clearly ('Central Park' not 'New York Central Park'), avoid awkward phrasing ('once we can afford it' not 'once we have the fun'), and give a specific reason why you want to visit. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and use linking words ('so', 'because').
Example: I would love to visit Central Park in New York. I've seen it in films and would like to take my family there because we could picnic, rent a rowboat on the lake, and explore the wide paths together.
× I usually play all day and that was fun.
✓ I usually played all day and that was fun.
The sentence mixes present habitual 'usually play' with past context 'when I was young'. Use past tense 'played' to match the time frame. Suggestion: keep all verbs describing past habits in past tense (I usually played).
× I remember meeting new friends and playing with them the entire day.
✓ I remember meeting new friends and playing with them the entire day.
Although the sentence is acceptable, the phrase 'the entire day' with 'remember' referring to a past event is fine. No grammatical change required. Keep past participle 'meeting' and gerund 'playing' after 'remember'.
× It's almost a whale of time and we really do have fun there.
✓ It was almost a whale of a time and we really had fun there.
The idiom is 'a whale of a time' and because speaker refers to childhood, past tense 'was' and 'had' should be used. Also include article 'a' before 'time'. Suggestion: use correct idiom and consistent past tense.
× We play around, run, ride our, ride our.
✓ We played around, ran, and rode our bikes.
Verbs should be in past to match context: 'played', 'ran', 'rode'. The phrase 'ride our' is incomplete; add the object 'bikes'. Also use parallel structure with commas and 'and'.
× Park is really important to me as an adult because mentally I can reset, I can unwind and enjoy the nature.
✓ Parks are really important to me as an adult because mentally I can reset, unwind, and enjoy nature.
Use plural 'Parks' or 'The park' depending on meaning; here general plural fits. 'Enjoy nature' does not need the definite article. Also streamline verbs for parallelism: 'reset, unwind, and enjoy'.
× I regularly visit the open spaces and the greenery spaces so I can unload some of the stress and I'm using it as a.
✓ I regularly visit open spaces and green areas so I can relieve some stress, and I use them to relax.
'Greenery spaces' is unnatural; use 'green areas'. 'Unload some of the stress' should be 'relieve some stress'. Maintain plural agreement 'them' for 'open spaces'. Complete the sentence by specifying 'to relax'. Present simple 'I use' matches habitual action.
× I think there is a great idea.
✓ I think that is a great idea.
English uses 'that is a great idea' or 'it is a great idea'. 'There is a great idea' is incorrect because 'there is' introduces existence; instead refer to the proposal with 'that'.
× If our local government or the City Council can promote or push for more open spaces, park or gardens, I think that will definitely benefit the community.
✓ If our local government or the City Council promotes or pushes for more open spaces, parks, or gardens, I think that will definitely benefit the community.
Use third-person singular present 'promotes' because the conditional refers to a possible general action. Use plural 'parks'. Also keep parallel verbs 'promotes or pushes'.
× The families can visit there with their children and I think that it will be.
✓ Families can visit with their children, and I think it will be beneficial.
'Visit there' is awkward; 'visit' without 'there' is sufficient. 'The families' is overly specific; use 'Families'. Complete the thought by adding 'beneficial' to finish the sentence.
× I will definitely visit New York Central Park.
✓ I will definitely visit New York's Central Park.
Use possessive form 'New York's Central Park' for the park name. Future tense 'will definitely visit' is fine.
× I've seen it in many films and I dream to go there with my family once we have the fun or once we can afford it it.
✓ I've seen it in many films, and I dream of going there with my family once we can afford it.
Use 'dream of doing' not 'dream to do'. Remove duplicate 'it'. Use 'once we can afford it' to indicate future possibility. 'Have the fun' is unnatural; omit or replace with 'can afford it'.
× I think it's a definitely great experience to have that.
✓ I think it would definitely be a great experience.
Word order: 'definitely' should come before 'be' or after 'would'. Use conditional 'would' to match uncertainty about a future visit. Remove extra 'that' and restructure 'a great experience' placement.
