Walking— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., “Yes, I walk a lot.”), then give one or two specific supporting details. Correct tense and article use and avoid unnecessary words.

Ejemplo: Yes, I walk a lot. During my first year at college I didn’t have a car, so I usually walked to nearby places like my lectures and the campus cafeteria.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer and accurate past-tense explanation. Use linking words to contrast your situation with others. Fix pronoun and tense errors and be specific about frequency.

Ejemplo: Not really. While some children often walked with their families for fun, my parents were usually very busy, so we seldom had time for family walks.

Sugerencia: Organize ideas into 2–3 clear points and use linking words. Avoid filler words and correct grammar. Be specific about reasons (fresh air, scenery, space for exercise) and give a short example.

Ejemplo: I think people enjoy walking in parks because of the pleasant environment. They can breathe fresh air and enjoy greenery, and parks also provide open space for jogging or group exercise.

Sugerencia: Answer directly, then give two clear reasons using linking words. Correct agreement and phrasing, and avoid trailing sentences. Mention a specific feature to make it vivid.

Ejemplo: I would choose the large park near my home because it’s convenient and very green. It’s popular in the city, with walking paths and lakes that make it a pleasant place to relax.

Sugerencia: Use correct past tense and remove hesitations. Give a clear topic sentence followed by specific details about the place and what you did there. Avoid unclear or repetitive phrases.

Ejemplo: The last place I walked was around the city lake. It was peaceful and the circular path made it easy to walk for thirty minutes while enjoying the view.

× Yes I do in the year 1 of my college.

✓ Yes, I did in my first year of college.

The speaker refers to a past time period (year 1 of college), so the past tense should be used. Use 'first year' instead of 'year 1' and include commas for clarity. Suggestion: use past tense verbs when talking about past periods and use natural ordinal forms like 'first year'.

× I don't have a personal vehicle so I always walk to some places nearby like to taking classes or having lunch.

✓ I don't have a personal vehicle, so I always walk to nearby places, for example to attend classes or to have lunch.

Incorrect use/missing articles and awkward wording. 'Some places nearby' is acceptable but 'to taking classes' is wrong: use the infinitive 'to attend classes' or gerund without 'to'. Add commas and a clearer connector. Suggestion: use 'to' + base verb for purpose (to attend) and place commas around conjunctions.

× Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?

✓ Did you often go outside for a walk when you were a child?

While the original is mostly understandable, the idiomatic phrase is 'go outside for a walk'. The question correctly uses past tense auxiliary 'did', so keep past tense. Suggestion: use idiomatic collocations like 'go for a walk'.

× Not really.

✓ Not really.

No grammar mistake; short answer is appropriate. No change needed.

× I know some children like to take a walk with their family to enjoy a joyful time together, but my parents work quite busy so we'll get a lot of time to have a walk together.

✓ I know some children like to take walks with their family to enjoy time together, but my parents are very busy so we don't get much time to walk together.

Multiple issues: pluralization ('take walks' or 'go for walks'), adjective/adverb and verb form ('work quite busy' is incorrect — use 'are very busy'), and incorrect use of 'we'll get a lot of time' which contradicts intent; should be 'we don't get much time'. Suggestion: use correct verb 'be' with adjective (are busy), make nouns plural when habitual, and match negative meaning with 'don't get'.

× I think it's because parks always have a good environment.

✓ I think it's because parks usually have a pleasant environment.

'Good environment' is understandable but non-idiomatic; 'pleasant environment' is more natural. 'Always' is too strong — use 'usually'. Suggestion: choose appropriate adverbs and collocations.

× People can breathe fresh air and enjoy time close to nature and which also there's are many people who exercise at their can, uh, keep a good atmosphere for people to walk, to exercise, to build themselves up.

✓ People can breathe fresh air and enjoy time close to nature, and there are also many people who exercise there, which creates a good atmosphere for walking, exercising, and improving fitness.

Sentence is ungrammatical with pronoun and word order errors: 'and which also there's are' is wrong; 'at their can' is nonsensical. Restructure: use 'there are' to introduce people, 'which' to refer to that situation, and parallel gerunds ('walking, exercising'). Suggestion: break long sentences, ensure subject-verb order, and use parallel structure.

× I would choose a park nearby my home.

✓ I would choose a park near my home.

'Nearby' as adjective before 'my home' is less natural than 'near my home'. The conditional 'would' is correct for hypothetical. Suggestion: use 'near my home' for location.

× It's because it's not only convenient but also have a good environment there.

✓ It's because it's not only convenient but also has a good environment.

Subject-verb agreement error: 'it' requires 'has' not 'have'. Also 'there' is redundant. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with subject; use 'has' for 'it'.

× It's quite popular in our city so there are a lot of people enjoy their relax for time at the.

✓ It's quite popular in our city, so a lot of people go there to relax.

Incorrect clause structure: after 'there are a lot of people' you need a verb phrase ('who enjoy' or use 'go there to relax'). 'Their relax for time at the.' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: use clear relative clauses or infinitive purpose structures and correct word order.

× The last time I go for a walk was surrounded by, uh, a lake in our city.

✓ The last time I went for a walk was around a lake in our city.

Tense error: 'go' should be past 'went' to match 'the last time'. 'Surrounded by a lake' is wrong (people are not surrounded by a lake); use 'around a lake'. Suggestion: use correct past tense and prepositions: 'around a lake'.

× Uh, it has a peaceful environment there and it's very convenient for people to surround it.

✓ It has a peaceful atmosphere, and it's very convenient for people to walk around it.

Incorrect verb 'surround' used in passive; people 'walk around' a lake, not 'surround it'. 'Environment' is acceptable but 'atmosphere' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'walk around' and choose appropriate nouns.

× Uh, walk surrounded, which can, which is also easy to count on your.

✓ Walking around it is relaxing and easy to rely on for exercise.

The original is fragmented and ungrammatical. 'Walk surrounded' makes no sense; 'easy to count on your' is incomplete. Restructure into a complete sentence: subject 'walking around it' + predicates. Suggestion: avoid fragments and ensure complete subject-verb-object structure.
