Walking— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and stay in present tense when asked about current habits. Start with a clear topic sentence about your present walking habit, then give one brief reason with a specific detail. Avoid unnecessary repetition and tense confusion.

Ejemplo: Yes, I walk a lot now because my university is close to my home. For example, I walk about 20 minutes each day to save money on transport and to get some exercise.

Sugerencia: Answer directly using past tense and limit filler words. Give one or two specific details (where you walked and what you enjoyed) and use linking words to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often walked as a child. I used to stroll around my neighborhood and visit nearby parks because I enjoyed exploring nature and discovering new streets.

Sugerencia: Give a clear, general reason first, then one or two supporting points with specific examples. Avoid vague or contradictory statements and reduce hesitations. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example.'

Ejemplo: People like to walk in parks because parks are peaceful and scenic. For example, families walk there to enjoy fresh air and children play safely while parents relax on benches.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and state a clear reason, avoiding irrelevant details about bikes. Describe a specific country or type of place and what you hope to experience there to make the answer more vivid.

Ejemplo: I would like to take a long walk in Japan because I want to see the cherry blossoms and explore quiet streets and temples on foot. Walking there would let me notice small shops and local life up close.

Sugerencia: Use clear past tense and start with a direct answer about the most recent walk. Give a specific time/place and brief reason, avoiding uncertain language like 'maybe.'

Ejemplo: The last time I went for a walk was three days ago to buy stationery and some food from a shop near my house. It was a short 10-minute walk because the store is very close.

× I do walk a lot because I love walking so much, especially when I was in high school.

✓ I walk a lot because I love walking, and I did especially when I was in high school.

The original mixes present tense with a past time expression 'when I was in high school' causing tense inconsistency. Use simple present 'I walk' for current habit and use 'I did' or 'I used to' to refer to the past. Suggestion: keep present for current habits and past form for past habits.

× I need to go home by my feet only because it's still close to my house.

✓ I need to walk home because it's very close to my house.

'By my feet' is an incorrect prepositional phrase in English; native speakers say 'walk' or 'on foot'. Also 'only' is unnecessary. Replace with 'walk home' or 'go home on foot' and use 'very close' for natural phrasing.

× I yes I often went on for walks when I was a child because I love strolling around my neighborhood and sightseeing because I enjoy, umm, like walking in nature and exploring new places.

✓ Yes, I often went for walks when I was a child because I loved strolling around my neighborhood and sightseeing; I enjoyed walking in nature and exploring new places.

The sentence mixes past and present verbs ('went' with 'love/enjoy') causing tense inconsistency. Use past tense 'loved' and 'enjoyed' to match 'when I was a child'. Also 'went on for walks' is incorrect; correct phrase is 'went for walks'. Clean up filler words for clarity.

× The biggest parks are meant to be sightseeing and it's impossible for them to have a ride in parks.

✓ Large parks are meant for sightseeing, and you usually cannot ride vehicles through them.

The original uses awkward pronoun 'them' and incorrect verb 'are meant to be sightseeing'. Use 'meant for sightseeing' and a general subject like 'you' or 'people' to explain that rides are usually not allowed. Also 'biggest' may be unnecessary; 'large parks' sounds natural.

× Well, probably, uh, it could for it can be for the bikes, but I think it's way too small for it.

✓ Well, maybe they allow bikes, but I think the paths are too small for them.

'It could for it can be for the bikes' is ungrammatical. Use clear modal structure: 'they allow bikes' or 'bikes are allowed'. Also replace vague pronoun 'it' with clear nouns ('paths', 'them').

× So that's why people, uh, decided to just walk around parks with their family or.

✓ So that's why people decide to just walk around parks with their families.

The original ends abruptly and mixes past 'decided' with general habit. Use present simple 'decide' for general reasons. Also complete the phrase 'with their families' and remove trailing 'or'.

× I would like to have a long walk in another country because, uh, it's very hard for us to have a bike there.

✓ I would like to take a long walk in another country because it's difficult to use a bicycle there.

'Have a long walk' is nonnative; use 'take a long walk'. 'Very hard for us to have a bike there' is unclear—express difficulty using or finding bicycles instead. Maintain conditional 'would like' and use clear phrasing.

× Well, they ran a bike one, but I don't think I would use it.

✓ Well, they do have bike rentals, but I don't think I would use them.

'They ran a bike one' is ungrammatical. Likely intended 'they have bike rentals' or 'they rent bikes'. Use plural 'them' for 'bikes' and match verb forms: 'they do have' or 'there are bike rentals'.

× I just want to have a long walk in the road in another country.

✓ I just want to take a long walk on the roads in another country.

Use 'take a long walk' and preposition 'on the roads' or 'along the streets', not 'in the road'. 'Have a long walk' is less natural than 'take a long walk'.

× Because lately I've been using motorcycle for going outside so maybe last time I have a walk was when I need to buy a stationery and foods because it's very near to my house.

✓ Lately I've been using a motorcycle to go out, so the last time I walked was when I needed to buy stationery and food because the shop is very near my house.

This sentence contains multiple tense and article errors: use present perfect continuous 'I've been using' then past simple 'the last time I walked' and 'I needed' for the past event. Use 'a motorcycle' and 'to go out' instead of 'for going outside'. Use uncountable 'stationery' and 'food' (not 'foods'), and 'the shop is very near my house' for clarity.
