Part 1

Examiner

Did you like going to parks as a child?

Candidate

Yes, I was fond of going to the park every after school and we used to spend the rest of the day there when on weekends.

Examiner

Do you still like going to parks now?

Candidate

Yes, I still do like going to the parks. I used to go there to relax and enjoy the scenery, but not as much as before because I have a work and I'm quite busy.

Examiner

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Candidate

Yes, it would be nice to have some more parks in the city because people often like to go walking, jogging, running and just laying around on the grass if they have time.

Examiner

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

Candidate

I would like to go in Central Park in Manhattan because I saw it a lot in movies and I think it looks really nice and the scenery there is unmatched and I just want to feel how it's like being there.

Part 1

Did you like going to parks as a child?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Make the response more natural and concise by correcting small grammatical errors and adding a brief, specific detail to support the statement. Use one clear topic sentence and one supporting detail, with a linking word if needed.

Example: Yes, I loved going to the park after school. For example, on weekends my family and I would spend the whole afternoon there playing games and having picnics.

Do you still like going to parks now?

Score: 74.0

Suggestion: Improve grammatical accuracy and natural phrasing, and avoid redundancy. State your current habit clearly, then give a specific reason with a linking word such as "however" or "but".

Example: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks; however, I don't go as often as I used to because I work long hours and have less free time.

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Be slightly more concise and use correct verb forms and parallel structures. Provide one clear reason and a short example of how people would use additional parks.

Example: Yes, I would. More parks would encourage people to walk, jog, or relax outdoors; for instance, residents could use them for morning exercise or weekend family outings.

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

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: Make the answer more natural and eliminate repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons, linked logically. Watch phrasing like "how it's like" — use "what it's like" instead.

Example: Yes, I would love to visit Central Park in Manhattan because I've seen it in many films and its varied scenery, like lakes and open lawns, looks beautiful. I'm curious to see the landmarks and experience what it's like in person.

Grammar

Incorrect adverb placement

× Yes, I was fond of going to the park every after school and we used to spend the rest of the day there when on weekends.

✓ Yes, I was fond of going to the park after school every day, and on weekends we used to spend the rest of the day there.

Adverb placement and word order: 'every after school' is incorrect; correct phrase is 'after school every day' or 'every day after school'. Also 'when on weekends' is redundant and awkward; place 'on weekends' before the clause 'we used to spend the rest of the day there'. This improves clarity and natural word order.

Article errors

× Yes, I still do like going to the parks. I used to go there to relax and enjoy the scenery, but not as much as before because I have a work and I'm quite busy.

✓ Yes, I still like going to parks. I used to go there to relax and enjoy the scenery, but not as much as before because I have work and I'm quite busy.

Article and noun usage: 'do like' is grammatically acceptable but unnecessary; 'still like' is more natural. 'The parks' implies specific parks; general preference uses plural 'parks' without 'the'. 'A work' is incorrect because 'work' is an uncountable noun when meaning employment; use 'work' without an article.

Incorrect reflexive pronoun use

× Yes, it would be nice to have some more parks in the city because people often like to go walking, jogging, running and just laying around on the grass if they have time.

✓ Yes, it would be nice to have more parks in the city because people often like to go walking, jogging, running and just lie around on the grass if they have time.

Verb form error: 'laying' is the present participle of 'lay' which requires an object; the correct intransitive verb is 'lie' (to recline). Use 'lie around' or 'lying around'. Also 'some more parks' is wordy; 'more parks' is concise.

Incorrect prepositions

× I would like to go in Central Park in Manhattan because I saw it a lot in movies and I think it looks really nice and the scenery there is unmatched and I just want to feel how it's like being there.

✓ I would like to go to Central Park in Manhattan because I have seen it a lot in movies and I think it looks really nice; the scenery there is unmatched and I just want to experience what it's like to be there.

Preposition and tense issues: Use 'go to' not 'go in' for visiting a park. Use present perfect 'I have seen' to indicate experience up to now. 'Feel how it's like being there' is ungrammatical; say 'experience what it's like to be there'. Also split into clearer clauses for natural flow.
