Conversation

Part 1

Examiner

Did you like going to parks as a child?

Candidate

Oh that's a great question, but to be honest, since our child I'm very keen on playing videos games and those watch watching TV, so I don't really have time to go into the park.

Examiner

Do you still like going to parks now?

Candidate

Yeah, I think right now at my age, I think most of people would like to get off their borrowed life. There's room, their school schedule and just having some fun times, going to the park and reading the air. Feel like the nature to feel free and clean up my mind.

Examiner

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Candidate

Absolutely yes, I'm currently live in have not the uh, corner of Hanoi city, which is my capital city of Vietnam. First in this corner. It's kind of rural, so there's no a lot of space, but there's no such a park things in here. So I would like the government to buy you.

Examiner

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

Candidate

Yes, there is Tonya Park in the middle of my capital city, Hanoi. I have never tried to go in there. I just know that's a very large part. They have a lake in the middle and it's a venue for a lot of concert. I want to try. I want to go there sometimes if I have my chance.

Part 1

Did you like going to parks as a child?

Score: 48.0

Suggestion: Answer the question directly in the first sentence and use the correct past tense because you are talking about childhood. Correct the phrases “since our child,” “playing videos games,” and “go into the park” to “as a child,” “playing video games,” and “go to the park.” Avoid unnecessary hesitation and make the reason more natural by saying that you preferred indoor activities. Add one specific detail to develop your answer.

Example: No, I didn’t really like going to parks as a child. I preferred playing video games and watching TV, so I rarely spent time outdoors. However, I sometimes went to the park with my family at the weekend.

Do you still like going to parks now?

Score: 42.0

Suggestion: Give a clear answer first and avoid repeating “I think.” Several phrases are unclear or incorrect, including “get off their borrowed life,” “there’s room,” “their school schedule,” and “reading the air.” Use natural expressions such as “escape from their busy lives,” “take a break from work or school,” and “enjoy the fresh air.” Organize the answer with a linking word such as “because” and include specific activities you enjoy in parks.

Example: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks, especially when I need a break from my busy schedule. I can take a walk, enjoy the fresh air, and spend some quiet time in nature. As a result, I usually feel more relaxed and clear-headed afterward.

Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Score: 38.0

Suggestion: State your opinion clearly and then explain where you live and why more parks are needed. Correct “I’m currently live” to “I currently live,” “in have not the corner” to “in a remote corner,” and “there’s no a lot of space” to “there isn’t much green space.” The phrase “buy you” is unclear; say “build more parks” or “create public green spaces.” Avoid contradictory ideas by explaining that the area is rural but still lacks well-designed parks.

Example: Yes, definitely. I currently live in a remote area of Hanoi, and although it is quite rural, there are very few proper public parks nearby. I would like the government to build more green spaces where residents can exercise, relax, and spend time with their families.

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

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: This answer has a clear choice and several supporting details, but correct “a very large part” to “a very large park,” “a lot of concert” to “a lot of concerts,” and “go in there” to “go there.” Avoid repeating “I want to” by combining the final ideas. Use the correct park name consistently and explain why you have not visited yet. A linking phrase such as “I’m particularly interested in it because…” would make the response smoother.

Example: Yes, I’d like to visit Thong Nhat Park in central Hanoi. I’ve never been there, but I know it is a large park with a lake and a venue for many concerts. I’d like to go there when I have some free time because it seems like a lively place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Grammar

Past tense issue

× Oh that's a great question, but to be honest, since our child I'm very keen on playing videos games and those watch watching TV, so I don't really have time to go into the park.

✓ Oh, that's a great question. To be honest, when I was a child, I was very keen on playing video games and watching TV, so I didn't really have time to go to the park.

The question asks about your childhood, so the main verbs should be in the past tense: was and didn't have. When I was a child is also the correct expression for referring to that period.

Singular and plural issue

× playing videos games

✓ playing video games

Video is used as an adjective before the plural noun games, so video does not take a plural ending. The correct expression is video games.

Verb + -ing form

× I'm very keen on playing videos games and those watch watching TV

✓ I was very keen on playing video games and watching TV

The preposition on is followed by a gerund ending in -ing. To keep the two activities parallel, use playing and watching.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× go into the park

✓ go to the park

Use go to the park when describing movement toward a park as a destination. Go into the park emphasizes entering the park, which is not necessary here.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× most of people would like to get off their borrowed life

✓ most people would like to take a break from their busy lives

Most people is the correct general expression. Most of must be followed by a determiner, such as most of the people. Also, lives must be plural because the sentence refers to many people's lives.

Singular and plural issue

× their borrowed life

✓ their busy lives

The possessive determiner their refers to multiple people, so the noun should normally be plural: lives. The phrase busy lives is also the natural expression in this context.

Sentence without a verb

× Feel like the nature to feel free and clean up my mind.

✓ I feel close to nature, which helps me feel free and clear my mind.

The original sentence does not have an explicit subject before Feel. A complete English sentence needs a subject and a correctly conjugated verb, so use I feel.

Present tense issue

× I'm currently live in have not the uh, corner of Hanoi city

✓ I currently live in the northwestern corner of Hanoi.

Do not combine am with the base verb live. Use either I currently live or I am currently living. The phrase the northwestern corner also needs a complete noun phrase.

Sentence structure errors

× I'm currently live in have not the uh, corner of Hanoi city, which is my capital city of Vietnam.

✓ I currently live in the northwestern corner of Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam.

The original sentence contains several incomplete and incorrectly ordered parts. The correction uses a clear subject-verb structure and places the identifying phrase after Hanoi.

There be issue

× there's no a lot of space

✓ there isn't a lot of space

A lot of space is an uncountable noun phrase, so use there isn't rather than there aren't. The article a cannot be used after no in this structure.

Article errors

× there's no a lot of space

✓ there isn't a lot of space

The phrase a lot of already contains the required determiner. Do not add no before it; use the negative there isn't instead.

There be issue

× there's no such a park things in here

✓ there aren't any parks here

Parks is a plural countable noun, so use there aren't. Any is appropriate in a negative sentence, and here is sufficient without in.

Singular and plural issue

× there's no such a park things in here

✓ there aren't any parks here

The sentence refers to parks in general, so the plural noun parks is needed. The singular combination park things is not grammatically appropriate.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I have never tried to go in there.

✓ I have never tried to go there.

When there refers to a place, go there does not take an additional preposition. Go in there is possible only when emphasizing entering an enclosed place.

Singular and plural issue

× It is a venue for a lot of concert.

✓ It is a venue for a lot of concerts.

A lot of can be used with plural countable nouns. Since the sentence refers to many concerts, concert must be plural.

Incorrect use of adverbs

× I want to go there sometimes if I have my chance.

✓ I want to go there sometime if I get the chance.

Sometime means at an unspecified time in the future, which fits this sentence. Sometimes means on some occasions or regularly, so it does not express the intended meaning here.
