Walking— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be concise and grammatically correct: start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms, and avoid vague words like 'blends'. Use one or two supporting details with linking words. Pronunciation and fluency could also be clearer.

Ejemplo: I don't walk a lot, but I enjoy walking when I have free time because I like seeing the scenery and feeling the fresh air. For example, I often walk along the river on weekends to relax.

Sugerencia: Use past tense consistently and give a clear topic sentence. Remove repetitions and unclear phrases (e.g., 'home house compound'). Add one specific detail and a linking word to make it coherent.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often walked outside as a child because my family lived in a housing compound. We walked to school every day, and I enjoyed playing with friends in the compound after classes.

Sugerencia: Avoid filler words and incorrect vocabulary (e.g., 'Dracula exercise', 'healthy high spot'). Provide a clear reason and one or two specific benefits, linked logically. Use appropriate vocabulary like 'exercise', 'relaxation', 'fresh air'.

Ejemplo: People walk in parks because it is a convenient place for regular exercise and relaxation. For instance, many go there in the early morning to jog or in the evening to unwind and breathe fresh air.

Sugerencia: Begin with a direct answer to the hypothetical question and avoid repeating ideas. Use conditional phrasing correctly and include a specific reason why you would choose that place.

Ejemplo: If I had the chance, I would take a long walk in the nearby circular park because it has beautiful flower beds, many trees, and quiet paths where I can relax and enjoy nature.

Sugerencia: Use simple past consistently when talking about recent events and avoid fillers. Start with a clear topic sentence and add a specific detail about when or what you did to make it precise.

Ejemplo: Lately I went to the nearby park I mentioned and also walked around the local market. Last weekend I walked in the park in the morning and then visited the market to buy some fruit.

× I don't usually walk a lot, but I love to walk when I free and I love to see the views and the blends and the weather when I go walking.

✓ I don't usually walk a lot, but I love to walk when I'm free, and I love to see the views, the colors, and the weather when I go walking.

The sentence uses present tense but misses the verb 'to be' for the state 'free'; 'when I free' is ungrammatical. Also 'blends' is unclear; 'colors' or 'scenery' fits better. Add commas for clarity. Suggestion: use the contraction I'm for present state and choose precise nouns (e.g., colors, scenery).

× When I was a child, I, my family and I live mostly in outdoor places in in compounds and I have to walk to school and I enjoy playing in the home house compound.

✓ When I was a child, my family and I lived mostly in outdoor compounds, and I had to walk to school and enjoyed playing in the home compound.

The time marker 'When I was a child' requires past tense. 'live' and 'have to' should be past forms 'lived' and 'had to'. 'Enjoy' should be 'enjoyed' to match past narration. Remove repeated words and redundant expressions (e.g., 'home house compound').

× I see people like to walk in parks because, uh, they are trying to have like Dracula exercise in early mornings or in the evenings, uh, to have a healthy high spot, a healthy lifestyle and to enjoy.

✓ I think people like to walk in parks because they try to get exercise in the early mornings or evenings, to have a healthy lifestyle and to relax.

Use present simple 'think' or 'I believe' for a general opinion. 'They are trying to have like Dracula exercise' is incorrect and unclear; replace with 'they try to get exercise'. 'A healthy high spot' is nonsensical; use 'a healthy lifestyle' and 'to relax' or 'to enjoy themselves'. Remove filler words. Maintain present simple for habitual actions.

× There is a nearby park, uh, which is a circular park with beautiful flowers and a playground and trees and like flower trees, uh, and it is my recent free break place to walk when I am free.

✓ There is a nearby circular park with beautiful flowers, a playground, and trees, and it is my favorite place to walk when I am free.

Sentence contains correct 'there is' but is wordy and uses awkward phrases like 'recent free break place'. Replace with 'favorite place' or 'usual place' to convey meaning. Remove repeated fillers and redundant lists. Keep present simple 'I am free' for habitual action.

× Uh, I usually went to the nearby park, uh, that I mentioned before and to the market where I can go shopping and walking at the same time.

✓ Lately, I usually go to the nearby park that I mentioned and to the market where I can do shopping and walking at the same time.

The question 'Where did you go for a walk lately?' asks about recent past, but the speaker mixes past 'went' and 'usually' which expresses habit in present. Use 'Lately' with present perfect or present simple for current habits. Here 'I usually go' matches ongoing recent habit; 'do shopping' or 'go shopping' is clearer. If referring to specific recent outings, use 'I went' and specify when.
