Part 1

Examiner

Did you like going to parks as a child?

Candidate

Yes I did. I enjoy going to parks when I was a child because it feels like it is a reward for me. Whenever I do something good. My parents will always treat me going to parks and do the activities just like a seesaw and doing slides with my parents, which is really fun.

Examiner

Do you still like going to parks now?

Candidate

I barely go to parks now, mainly because I am an adult already. I don't have a lot of time to explore and roam around outside and I really miss going there. But maybe in the future I can still exert time to still go to the parks I used to go when I was a child.

Examiner

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Candidate

Yes, absolutely. I think that parks offer a lot of great things, especially for the children. It is something that can make the student or the children happy and it is something that can also make a great memory for you as a child.

Examiner

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

Candidate

No, I'm not really fond of going to parks anymore and now as an adult I enjoy going to other places because I really want to explore more about what are the other things I need to know and I need to experience here in our world.

Part 1

Did you like going to parks as a child?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, join short fragments into complete sentences, use linking words (for example, 'because' and 'so'), and give one specific example. Avoid repetition and incorrect tense forms.

Example: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child because my parents treated visits as a reward when I behaved well. For example, after I did well at school we would spend an afternoon playing on the seesaw and sliding together, which created happy memories for me.

Do you still like going to parks now?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct tense and word choices. Use linking words ('because', 'however', 'maybe') and avoid repeating words like 'still' and 'exert time'. Give one clear plan or reason with a specific timeframe if possible.

Example: I rarely go to parks nowadays because I am busy with work and other responsibilities. However, I miss them and hope that in the next year I can make time to revisit the parks I used to go to as a child.

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Respond directly and add specific reasons and examples. Replace vague phrases ('a lot of great things') with concrete benefits (exercise space, social interaction). Use linking words ('because', 'for example') and avoid repeating 'children'.

Example: Yes, absolutely. I would like more parks because they provide safe outdoor space for exercise and socialising. For example, parks allow children to run and play freely and help families create lasting memories.

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

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Be direct but give a brief reason and, if possible, mention an alternative place you'd like to visit. Keep sentences clear, avoid wordiness ('what are the other things I need to know'), and use linking words ('so', 'because', 'instead').

Example: Not particularly. As an adult I prefer visiting museums and cultural sites because I enjoy learning about history and new experiences, so I usually spend my free time exploring museums or city tours instead.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× Yes I did. I enjoy going to parks when I was a child because it feels like it is a reward for me.

✓ Yes, I did. I enjoyed going to parks when I was a child because it felt like a reward to me.

The sentence mixes present tense verbs (enjoy, feels) with a past time reference 'when I was a child'. Use past tense (enjoyed, felt) to match the time frame. Also change 'a reward for me' to the more natural 'a reward to me'. Suggestion: Keep verbs consistent with the time frame; for past experiences use past tense verbs.

Sentence structure errors

× Whenever I do something good.

✓ Whenever I did something good,

This fragment lacks connection to the main clause and uses present tense 'do' while referring to past habitual events. Convert to past habitual 'did' and attach a comma to link to the next clause. Suggestion: Ensure subordinate clauses are connected to main clauses and use tense consistent with the time frame.

Incorrect use of gerund/verb + -ing form

× My parents will always treat me going to parks and do the activities just like a seesaw and doing slides with my parents, which is really fun.

✓ My parents would always take me to parks and do activities like playing on a seesaw and sliding with my parents, which was really fun.

'Treat me going to parks' is ungrammatical; use 'take me to parks'. 'Do the activities' is awkward; specify 'do activities like playing on a seesaw and sliding'. Tense should be past (would/was) to match childhood. Use parallel gerund forms 'playing' and 'sliding'. Suggestion: Use correct verb collocations (take someone to a place) and parallel gerunds for list of activities.

Present tense issue

× I barely go to parks now, mainly because I am an adult already.

✓ I rarely go to parks now, mainly because I am already an adult.

'Barely' often implies almost not at all and collocates but 'rarely' is more natural for frequency. Word order 'already an adult' is more natural as 'am already an adult'. Suggestion: Use 'rarely' for infrequent actions and place 'already' after 'am' in this context.

Incorrect use of infinitive/future/modal

× But maybe in the future I can still exert time to still go to the parks I used to go when I was a child.

✓ But maybe in the future I can still make time to visit the parks I used to go to when I was a child.

'Exert time' is incorrect collocation; use 'make time'. 'Go to the parks I used to go when I was a child' needs 'to' after 'go' and 'used to go to'. Also avoid repeating 'still'. Suggestion: Use natural collocations like 'make time' and keep 'used to go to' for past habitual locations.

Incorrect use of plural/singular

× I think that parks offer a lot of great things, especially for the children.

✓ I think that parks offer a lot of great things, especially for children.

'The children' is overly specific; use the general plural 'children' when speaking about children in general. 'Parks offer' is correct plural agreement. Suggestion: Omit the definite article when referring to a general group.

Incorrect use of pronouns/possessive and article

× It is something that can make the student or the children happy and it is something that can also make a great memory for you as a child.

✓ They can make students or children happy and can also create great memories for you as a child.

Sentence is repetitive and mixes singular and plural ('the student or the children'). Use plural 'they' to refer to parks and 'students or children' without definite articles. Use 'create memories' rather than 'make a great memory'. Suggestion: Maintain number agreement and use natural collocations like 'create memories'.

Present tense issue and word choice

× No, I'm not really fond of going to parks anymore and now as an adult I enjoy going to other places because I really want to explore more about what are the other things I need to know and I need to experience here in our world.

✓ No, I'm not really fond of going to parks anymore, and now as an adult I enjoy going to other places because I want to explore more and learn about the things I need to know and experience in the world.

Awkward phrasing 'explore more about what are the other things' and redundant phrases. Use 'want to explore more and learn about the things I need to know and experience in the world' for clarity. Keep present tense for current preferences. Suggestion: Simplify and remove redundant words; use natural infinitive structures like 'want to explore' and 'learn about'.
