Travelling— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words, and give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Also correct tense and word choice (e.g. “see the scenery” or “see where I’m going”).

Ejemplo: Yes, I prefer to sit by the window when I travel because I can enjoy the scenery and see where I’m going. For example, on train journeys I like watching the countryside pass by, which makes the trip more relaxing.

Sugerencia: Use past tense consistently and give one clear example with specific details. Begin with a direct reply, then add a linking phrase (e.g. “For example”) and specific information (when, where, what you enjoyed). Avoid vague phrases like “I enjoy it much.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. For example, when I was a teenager my family took a long trip to Dubai, which involved a long flight and several hours of travel. I enjoyed visiting the beaches and seeing the modern architecture, so the journey felt worthwhile.

× Yeah, I do prefer to sit by the window when I travel because I can see the road where to where I travel and Um, it's really lovely and I really liked sitting by the window.

✓ Yeah, I prefer to sit by the window when I travel because I can see the road I am travelling on, and it's really lovely; I really like sitting by the window.

Mix of present simple and unnecessary 'do' for emphasis: use 'I prefer' for a general habit (present simple). The phrase 'where to where I travel' is ungrammatical; replace with 'I am travelling on' or 'along the road'. 'Liked' is past; keep tense consistent with present habit and use 'like'. Also remove filler 'Um' and simplify punctuation for clarity.

× Yeah, I do have a long journey with my family as a child.

✓ Yes, I had a long journey with my family when I was a child.

Incorrect tense and auxiliary: talking about a past experience requires past simple 'had' rather than present 'do have'. Also 'as a child' is acceptable but 'when I was a child' is more natural. Change 'Yeah' to 'Yes' for formality.

× And when I was a teenager we went to Dubai and it was a long journey and it was really fun.

✓ When I was a teenager, we went to Dubai; it was a long journey and it was really fun.

Sentence is mostly past and correct, but add a comma after the time clause and combine clauses for smoother flow. Tense usage is appropriate (past simple 'went', 'was'). This suggestion focuses on punctuation and fluency while keeping past tense.

× I enjoy it much.

✓ I enjoyed it a lot.

Context refers to a past trip, so use past simple 'enjoyed' rather than present 'enjoy'. 'Much' is awkward here; use 'a lot' to express degree in spoken English. This maintains tense consistency and natural phrasing.
