Parks— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Start with a clear direct response (Yes/No), give a brief reason, and add one short example or detail. Keep answers to 2–3 concise sentences and use linking words if you add details.

Ejemplo: Yes, I liked going to parks as a child because they were safe places to play and meet friends. For example, my friends and I would ride our bikes there every weekend and have picnics under the trees.

Sugerencia: Saying “Good job!” does not answer the question. Provide a direct response, a reason, and a short example. Use a linking word (e.g., because, so, therefore) when adding the reason to make your answer coherent.

Ejemplo: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks because they help me relax and exercise. For instance, I go for a jog there three times a week and often sit by the pond to read.

Sugerencia: You repeated the question rather than answering. Reply directly (Yes/No), give a reason, and include a brief example or consequence. Use vocabulary relevant to the topic (green space, urban planning, recreation).

Ejemplo: Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because they provide green space and improve residents’ wellbeing. For example, new parks would offer more places for families to picnic and for people to exercise.

Sugerencia: Again you repeated the examiner’s words. Answer directly (Yes/No or specific park name), give a reason or intended activity, and add one detail about when or why you plan to go. Keep it concise and natural.

Ejemplo: Yes, I’d like to visit the Riverside Park next summer because I’ve heard it has beautiful walking trails and a large botanical garden. I hope to go there for a weekend walk and some photos.

× Do you like going to parks as a child?

✓ Did you like going to parks as a child?

The examiner's question asks about the past (as a child), so the student's reply should use past tense. The student repeated the question in present tense, which is grammatically inconsistent with the time reference. Use 'Did' + base verb for past simple questions about habits in childhood. For example: 'Did you like going to parks as a child?'. Suggestion: Change present 'Do you' to past 'Did you' when referring to past time.

× Good job!

✓ Yes, I still like going to parks.

The phrase 'Good job!' is not an answer to the examiner's question 'Do you still like going to parks now?'. The student should provide a present-tense response that matches the question's time frame. Use 'I do' or 'I still like' for present habits. For example: 'Yes, I still like going to parks.' Suggestion: Start with a direct present-tense answer, add a reason and an example: 'Yes, I still like going to parks because they help me relax; for example, I go there twice a week.'

× Would you like to see more parks in your city?

✓ Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city.

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. For a hypothetical/willingness question using 'Would you like...', the correct response uses 'I would like...' or 'No, I wouldn't.' Keep verb form 'would' to match the conditional/modal structure. Also adapt 'your city' to 'my city' when speaking about personal preference. Suggestion: Reply with 'Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because...' and add a reason.

× Are there any parks you want to go to in your future?

✓ Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?

The phrase 'in your future' is unnatural here; 'in the future' is the correct adverbial expression to refer to later time. The student repeated the examiner's question with incorrect word order. Use 'in the future' for general future reference. Alternatively, to answer, use 'Yes, I want to visit XYZ park in the future.' Suggestion: Use 'in the future' rather than 'in your future', and when answering, use present simple for 'want' or a future construction: 'Yes, I want to visit the new botanical garden in the future.'
