Did you like going to parks as a child?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời có chủ đề rõ ràng nhưng cần mạch lạc hơn và tránh tiếng “umm” hay lặp từ. Mở đầu nên có câu chủ đề ngắn gọn, sau đó cung cấp chi tiết cụ thể hơn (ví dụ tần suất, địa điểm hoặc cảm xúc). Dùng liên từ để nối ý (for example, and, also) và giữ trong 3–4 câu. Ngoài ra chỉnh ngữ pháp nhỏ (went to the park, it was fun) để tự nhiên hơn.
Example: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. I usually went to the local park with my friends almost every weekend, and we often played football, tennis and hide-and-seek. It was great fun because we could run around freely and spend time together.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Ý chính rõ ràng nhưng câu hơi dài và có lỗi nhỏ về ngữ pháp và lựa từ (go into the park → go to the park; busy about → busy with). Nên tách thành hai câu: khẳng định chung rồi giải thích tần suất và lý do, dùng liên từ (however, but) để mạch lạc hơn.
Example: Yes, I still like going to parks, but I don't visit them very often nowadays. I'm usually busy with studying and work, so only sometimes my friends and I go to a park to relax.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời hiện tại thiếu rõ ràng và có nhiều tiếng ngập ngừng, cấu trúc lộn xộn và ý không hoàn thiện. Cần trả lời trực tiếp (Yes/No) rồi giải thích cụ thể vì sao: ví dụ tiện lợi, sức khỏe cộng đồng, không gian xanh hoặc ngược lại nếu không cần. Dùng từ vựng phù hợp (inconvenient → crowded/poorly located) và tránh lặp từ, giữ 2–3 câu rõ ràng.
Example: Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because they provide green spaces for exercise and relaxation. More parks would make it easier for people to access outdoor areas without traveling far.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời nêu tên các công viên nhưng cần rõ ràng hơn về lý do và mô tả cụ thể (what activities, special features). Tránh tiếng ngập ngừng và sửa ngữ pháp (so it has so many game or pool → because it has many games and a swimming pool). Kéo dài câu bằng 1–2 chi tiết cụ thể về hoạt động mong muốn và với ai bạn sẽ đi.
Example: Yes, I would like to visit Thomson Park and City Park in the future, and also a well-known Vietnamese park. I want to go because they have lots of recreational facilities like playgrounds and swimming pools, and I would enjoy going there with my friends.
× When I was a child I usually went to park to play with my friends.
✓ When I was a child I usually went to the park to play with my friends.
The noun 'park' needs the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific place type that is understood in context. Use 'the park' instead of 'park'. Suggestion: include appropriate articles before singular countable nouns (the/a) where context requires them.
× That's really funny.
✓ That was really fun.
In this context the speaker refers to past experiences, so use past tense 'was' not present contraction 'that's'. Also 'funny' means causing laughter; 'fun' describes enjoyable experiences. Use 'That was really fun.' Suggestion: match adjective choice to meaning and tense.
× Yes, I still go into the park but now I don't usually go to a park because I'm very busy about studying and work, but my friend and I sometimes go to a park.
✓ Yes, I still go to the park but now I don't usually go to parks because I'm very busy with studying and work, but my friend and I sometimes go to a park.
Preposition 'into' is unnecessary; use 'go to the park'. 'Busy about' is incorrect; use 'busy with'. Use plural 'parks' when speaking generally. Maintain article consistency: 'go to a park' is fine for an occasional visit. Suggestion: use 'to' for movement to places, 'busy with' for activities, and pluralize for general statements.
× That's the way I don't lie so much. Park in the city 'cause it's very, umm, inconvenient, you know, like, uh, you can go to anywhere and, and because many park.
✓ I don't go to parks much because they are inconvenient in the city; you can't go anywhere easily, and there are not many parks.
Original sentence has multiple structural issues: 'That's the way I don't lie so much' is unclear and likely intended as 'I don't go to parks much'. 'Park in the city' needs plural and subject-verb agreement. 'You can go to anywhere' should be 'you can't go anywhere easily' to express difficulty. 'Because many park' needs 'there are not many parks' or 'there are few parks'. Suggestion: simplify and use clear subjects and verbs, ensure correct negative forms and quantifiers.
× Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
✓ Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
This sentence is correct. No change needed. Suggestion: none.
× Yes, I want to go Thomson Park, uh City Park, definitely Vietnamese park, so it has so many game or pool to swim and play.
✓ Yes, I want to go to Thomson Park, City Park, and definitely the Vietnamese Park because it has many games and a pool for swimming and playing.
Missing preposition 'to' after 'go' and missing articles before park names ('the Vietnamese Park'). 'So many game' should be 'many games'. 'Pool to swim and play' should be 'a pool for swimming and playing'. Suggestion: include 'to' after 'go', use plural for countable nouns, and use 'for + -ing' to indicate purpose.
× I want to go with my friends.
✓ I want to go with my friends.
This sentence is correct. No change needed. Suggestion: none.
