Parks— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your response is natural, relevant and gives specific memories, but you can improve by tightening language, avoiding repetition and using a linking phrase to connect ideas. Also vary vocabulary (e.g., 'playgrounds' vs 'park equipment') and use one concise topic sentence plus two supporting details.

Ejemplo: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. For example, I spent hours on the swings and slides with friends, and we often explored different play areas together. In addition, my parents took me on weekend picnics, which made those visits special.

Sugerencia: Good clear direct answer and reasons, but avoid starting with a blunt 'No'—offer a brief topic sentence then two linked reasons. Use linking words (for example, 'because' and 'also') and add a brief specific example of the indoor activities to strengthen content.

Ejemplo: I don’t visit parks much these days because I’m busy with studies and work, so I prefer indoor activities. For instance, I often watch films at the cinema or spend an hour at the gym after classes. Also, the nearby parks are poorly maintained, which discourages me from going.

Sugerencia: Strong direct answer with clear reasons. To improve, vary sentence structure, add a linking phrase and a specific example of how parks benefit communities (e.g., exercise areas, playgrounds, events). Keep it concise and avoid vague phrases like 'more than that.'

Ejemplo: Yes, I would — more parks would improve air quality and make the city more attractive. For example, additional green spaces could provide safe playgrounds for children and outdoor exercise areas where families can gather on weekends.

Sugerencia: The answer is direct but a bit repetitive and negative. Start with a concise topic sentence, then give one clear reason and a contrasting prediction or condition (e.g., you might visit if a park improved). Use more natural phrasing (e.g., 'none that I can think of' rather than 'there are not any').

Ejemplo: I can’t think of any parks I want to visit right now because most local parks are fairly ordinary and poorly maintained. However, I might visit if a new, well-designed park with good facilities opened nearby.

× Also, my parents would like to take me for picnics every weekend.

✓ Also, my parents would take me on picnics every weekend.

The original uses 'would like to' which expresses desire rather than a habitual past action. Context describes a habit in the past, so use 'would' (past habit) or 'used to'. Also use the preposition 'on picnics' rather than 'for picnics' for natural collocation.

× I'm quite busy with my studies and work and I prefer indoor activities now like catching a movie or hitting the gym.

✓ I'm quite busy with my studies and work, and I prefer indoor activities now, like catching a movie or going to the gym.

Minor phrasing and parallelism issues: 'hitting the gym' is informal but acceptable; 'going to the gym' is more standard and parallels 'catching a movie'. Commas improve sentence clarity. Tense 'prefer' is correct for present preference.

× Also the parks near my place are not very nice.

✓ Also, the parks near my place are not very nice.

Missing comma after introductory 'Also' for clarity. No major grammatical preposition error; corrected punctuation only. Sentence is otherwise correct.

× More than that, people can spend their time with friends and family there.

✓ More than that, people can spend time with friends and family there.

'Spend their time' is not wrong, but dropping 'their' makes phrasing more natural. No tense change required; present ability 'can spend' is appropriate.

× No, there are not any parks I want to go to in the future.

✓ No, there are not any parks I want to go to in the future.

Grammatically the sentence is acceptable. For smoother, more natural English, you could say 'No, there aren't any parks I want to visit in the future.' This uses contraction and 'visit' is more natural than 'go to.' This suggestion is stylistic rather than strictly grammatical.

× Most of the parks in my city are average and they cannot attract me, so I don't have any parks in my mind that I want to visit.

✓ Most of the parks in my city are average and they don't attract me, so I don't have any parks in mind that I want to visit.

Use 'don't attract me' instead of 'cannot attract me' because 'cannot' suggests inability rather than lack of appeal. 'In my mind' is awkward; 'in mind' is the correct idiom. Remove unnecessary words for conciseness and naturalness.
