Do you still like going to parks now?

Yes, I still love going to parks. Whenever I'm off work I usually have a cup of coffee and sit at the bench. I watch people roam around and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I also went there last week with my friends to catch up and hang out.

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Part 1

Did you like going to parks as a child?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct small errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition (e.g., 'roam around' twice), and use past tense consistently for childhood. Add one specific detail to make it vivid. Use a linking word to connect ideas.

Example: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. I often went with my parents and we rode bicycles around the paved paths and had picnics by the pond. Because of the fresh air and open space, I usually felt refreshed and happy afterwards.

Do you still like going to parks now?

Score: 84.0

Suggestion: Good structure and relevant details. Improve naturalness by varying vocabulary (avoid 'roam around') and correct small article/noun errors (e.g., 'a bench' not 'the bench'). Add a linking phrase to show sequence or contrast.

Example: Yes, I still love going to parks. When I'm off work I usually buy a cup of coffee and sit on a bench to watch people strolling and admire the scenery. For example, I went last week with friends to catch up and relax by the pond.

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Score: 80.0

Suggestion: Avoid repeating similar ideas. Use clearer explanations and a linking word to connect reasons. Correct article usage ('enjoy beautiful scenery' not 'a beautiful scenery'). Add a specific suggestion about where or what type of parks would help.

Example: Yes, I'd like to see more parks in the city because I enjoy beautiful scenery and green space. For instance, small neighborhood parks with shaded walking paths and flower beds would help residents relax and feel energized.

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

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Fix minor errors and be more direct. Use 'place' instead of 'part' and correct phrase 'breath of fresh air' → 'breathes of fresh air' or 'the fresh air'. Use linking words ('however' correctly) and give one concrete example of a park you'd like to visit to make your answer more specific.

Example: I don't have a specific park in mind, but I prefer landscaped parks filled with trees and grassy lawns. Ideally, I'd like a park with a small pond and winding paths where I can take peaceful walks and enjoy the fresh air.

Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× we would ride a bicycle, roam around and eat good foods around.

✓ we would ride bicycles, roam around and eat good food there.

'ride a bicycle' can be pluralized to 'ride bicycles' for general habitual action, but keeping singular is acceptable; main issues are 'eat good foods' and 'around'. 'Foods' is rarely used; use 'good food'. 'around' repeated is awkward; replace with 'there' to indicate the park. Also parallel structure is maintained for verbs followed by correct noun forms.

Present tense issue

× Whenever I go there, I usually feel refreshed and joyful after.

✓ Whenever I go there, I usually feel refreshed and joyful.

The word 'after' is unnecessary and creates redundancy because 'feel refreshed and joyful' already completes the thought. Removing 'after' makes the sentence concise and grammatically correct.

Preposition usage

× Whenever I'm off work I usually have a cup of coffee and sit at the bench.

✓ Whenever I'm off work I usually have a cup of coffee and sit on the bench.

'Sit at the bench' is less idiomatic; the correct preposition for sitting on furniture or benches is 'on'. Using 'on the bench' is natural English.

Verb + -ing form

× I watch people roam around and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

✓ I watch people roaming around and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

When describing simultaneous actions observed, using the -ing form after 'watch' (watch + people + V-ing) emphasizes ongoing actions. Both 'watch people roam' and 'watch people roaming' can be correct, but to be consistent with habitual observation, 'roaming' and 'enjoying' better convey continuous scenes.

Past tense issue

× I also went there last week with my friends to catch up and hang out.

✓ I also went there last week with my friends to catch up and hang out.

This sentence is grammatically correct in past tense; no change needed.

Article errors

× Yes, I'd like to see more parks in the city because I enjoy a beautiful scenery.

✓ Yes, I'd like to see more parks in the city because I enjoy beautiful scenery.

'Scenery' is an uncountable noun and should not take the indefinite article 'a'. Removing 'a' makes the noun usage correct.

Incorrect use of gerund/infinitive (Verb + -ing form)

× I love being surrounded by trees and grass because I like to see landscaped areas.

✓ I love being surrounded by trees and grass because I like seeing landscaped areas.

After 'like' both 'to see' and 'seeing' are possible; 'seeing' parallels 'being surrounded' (a -ing clause) and sounds more natural here. Not strictly incorrect, but 'seeing' improves style and parallelism.

Present tense issue

× Whenever I go there, I usually feel relaxed and energized.

✓ Whenever I go there, I usually feel relaxed and energized.

Sentence is correct as written; no change needed.

There be issue

× There isn't any specific part that I would go to, however I really like landscape areas that are filled with trees and grass.

✓ There isn't any specific park that I would go to; however, I really like landscaped areas that are filled with trees and grass.

'There isn't any specific part' is incorrect word choice; 'park' fits the context. Use a semicolon or period before 'however' and add a comma after it. Also 'landscape areas' should be 'landscaped areas' (adjective form). These changes correct noun choice, punctuation, and adjective form.

Incorrect use of reflexive pronoun / word choice

× I would also love to have a pond nearby so that I could walk around and just enjoy the breath of fresh air.

✓ I would also love to have a pond nearby so that I could walk around and just enjoy the breath of fresh air.

The sentence is mostly correct, but 'enjoy the breath of fresh air' is slightly off: the common phrase is 'enjoy the fresh air' or 'breathe in the fresh air'. This is a word-choice/style issue rather than a grammar rule from the list, so no mandatory change was required.
