Part 1
Examiner
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Candidate
I suppose I did like parks, but I had a limited opportunity to play in parks because I was living in a developing country. It was safe. It was neither safe nor convenient to go outside, and I usually played inside my house rather than outside.
Examiner
Do you still like going to parks now?
Candidate
Umm, I don't really think that I still like going to parks because I umm, first of all, there is no park near me and it is unlikely that I will play there.
Examiner
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Candidate
I would definitely like to see more parks in my city because they're they are essential for children's play and physical development. Parks also provide a space where people can relax, exercise and meet neighbors, which helps improve residents health and community ties.
Examiner
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Candidate
I think I'd like to go to safari parks because I like wild animals and it is a great opportunity to observe diverse wildlife up close. And for example, I like to see lions and elephants and learn more about conservation efforts there.
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 答えは内容が伝わりますが、文がやや矛盾しており冗長です。冒頭で肯定か否定かを明確にしてから、理由を具体的に短く述べると良いです。また“safe/unsafe”の扱いが混乱しているので一貫した表現にしてください。文は3〜4文以内にまとめ、接続詞(because, so, thereforeなど)を使って論理的につなげましょう。
Example: Yes, I liked parks as a child, but I rarely went to them because we lived in a developing area where outdoor play wasn’t always safe or convenient. Therefore I spent most of my time playing at home with my cousins and indoor toys.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 回答は意図が分かりますが、口語の間投詞(umm)が多く聞き取りづらいです。最初に簡潔な結論(Yes/No)を述べ、その後2つまでの理由をはっきりと述べてください。例や代替の活動(walking, exerciseなど)を添えると説得力が増します。
Example: No, I don’t often go to parks now because there isn’t one near my home and I rarely have time to visit. Instead, I usually exercise at a nearby gym or go for walks around my neighborhood.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: とても良い理由を挙げていますが、短い繰り返し(they're they are)や小さな文法ミスを直すとさらに良くなります。理由を2点に絞り、リンク表現(for example, moreover)を使って情報を整理してください。語彙は的確なので、流暢さに注意して話しましょう。
Example: Yes, I would. More parks are important because they give children safe places to play and develop physically. Moreover, parks offer spaces for adults to relax, exercise and meet neighbors, which strengthens community ties.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 答えは具体的で興味が伝わりますが、接続の自然さを改善しましょう。“And for example”の代わりにより滑らかな接続詞を使い、文を2〜3文にまとめてください。保存や理由(conservation efforts)についてもう少し具体性を加えると説得力が増します。
Example: I’d like to visit a safari park because I enjoy observing wild animals in a more natural setting. For example, I’d love to see lions and elephants and learn about the conservation programs that protect them.
× I suppose I did like parks, but I had a limited opportunity to play in parks because I was living in a developing country.
✓ I suppose I liked parks, but I had limited opportunities to play in them because I lived in a developing country.
The sentence mixes past continuous and simple past unnecessarily. Use simple past 'liked' and 'lived' for habitual/finished actions. Also pluralize 'opportunities' and replace 'in parks' with 'in them' for concision and naturalness. Suggestion: use consistent past tense for past habits and pluralize countable nouns when appropriate.
× It was safe.
✓ It was not safe.
Context indicates the speaker meant parks were unsafe, but the original sentence 'It was safe' contradicts following sentence. Likely omission of negative 'not'. Ensure adjectives accurately reflect intended meaning; use 'not safe' or 'unsafe' for negative description.
× It was neither safe nor convenient to go outside, and I usually played inside my house rather than outside.
✓ It was neither safe nor convenient to go outside, so I usually played inside my house rather than outside.
Use of 'and' creates a coordination that doesn't express cause-effect. 'So' indicates result of unsafe and inconvenient conditions. Also sentence is fine otherwise.
× Umm, I don't really think that I still like going to parks because I umm, first of all, there is no park near me and it is unlikely that I will play there.
✓ Umm, I don't really think that I still like going to parks because, first of all, there is no park near me and it is unlikely that I will go there to play.
'Play there' is awkward after 'will'; use 'go there to play' or 'play there' with present context. Maintain present simple 'is no park' for current state and future 'will go' for unlikely action. Also remove filler commas and clarify structure.
× I would definitely like to see more parks in my city because they're they are essential for children's play and physical development.
✓ I would definitely like to see more parks in my city because they are essential for children's play and physical development.
Sentence contains redundant 'they're they are' duplication. Use one form. Also 'they are' agrees with plural 'parks'.
× Parks also provide a space where people can relax, exercise and meet neighbors, which helps improve residents health and community ties.
✓ Parks also provide spaces where people can relax, exercise, and meet neighbors, which helps improve residents' health and community ties.
'A space' is better as plural 'spaces' when referring generally. Missing apostrophe in 'residents health' should be 'residents' health' to show possession. Add Oxford comma for clarity. Use plural to match general statement.
× Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
✓ Are there any parks you would like to go to in the future?
Using 'would like' is more polite and natural for expressing future preferences. 'Want to' is acceptable but 'would like' fits spoken polite register in responses.
× I think I'd like to go to safari parks because I like wild animals and it is a great opportunity to observe diverse wildlife up close.
✓ I think I'd like to go to safari parks because I like wild animals and they are a great opportunity to observe diverse wildlife up close.
Use plural pronoun 'they' to refer back to plural 'safari parks'. 'It is' incorrectly refers to plural. Ensure pronoun number agreement with antecedent.
× And for example, I like to see lions and elephants and learn more about conservation efforts there.
✓ For example, I would like to see lions and elephants and learn more about conservation efforts there.
Mixing 'I like to see' with future intention is inconsistent. Since speaking about future trips, use 'I would like to see' to express preference. Also remove leading 'And' for formality and clarity.
