Parks— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is natural, relevant and gives a clear topic sentence plus supporting details. To improve to a higher band, shorten one long sentence to avoid run-on structure and add a specific example or vivid detail (e.g., a memorable game or a particular park feature) using a linking phrase like 'for example' to make it more vivid and specific.

Exemplo: Yes, I loved going to parks when I was a child. For example, my friends and I used to meet every Saturday at the big oak tree and play hide-and-seek until dusk. These afternoons, often finished with a small picnic, always left me feeling happy and relaxed.

Sugestão: Good clear response with a direct topic sentence and reason. To improve, add one specific detail about frequency or a short example of an activity and use a linking word such as 'because' or 'so' more concisely. Keep sentences short and avoid repeating similar ideas.

Exemplo: Yes, I still enjoy visiting parks. For instance, I often walk there three times a week and sit on a bench to read, because the peaceful atmosphere and fresh air help me unwind after a busy day.

Sugestão: Very good answer: direct, coherent and includes reasons and benefits. To reach a higher score, add a concrete suggestion (e.g., types of parks or locations) and use a linking phrase such as 'for example' or 'also' to connect ideas smoothly.

Exemplo: Yes, I would definitely like to see more parks in my city, for example small community gardens and playgrounds near apartment blocks. These parks would give people space for exercise and play, improving health and making neighborhoods feel friendlier.

Sugestão: Your response is honest and natural, but a little short and slightly repetitive. Improve by giving a specific future example or preference (e.g., a botanical garden or waterfront park) and a linking word such as 'however' to contrast ideas. This adds interest and demonstrates ability to expand answers.

Exemplo: Not really — I don't usually seek out famous parks and tend to visit whatever I pass by. However, if I travel somewhere new, I'm definitely interested in visiting local parks, especially botanical gardens or waterfront parks to see native plants and scenery.

× After school, my friends and I would often run around home, play on the streets and sometimes have a small picnic under the warm sunshine, which always made me feel happy and relaxed.

✓ After school, my friends and I would often run around the neighborhood, play on the streets, and sometimes have a small picnic in the warm sunshine, which always made me feel happy and relaxed.

The phrase 'run around home' is unidiomatic; use 'run around the neighborhood' or 'run around the house' depending on meaning (preposition/word choice). Also 'under the warm sunshine' is less natural than 'in the warm sunshine' (preposition choice). Use commas before conjunctions in a list for clarity. Suggestions: use 'run around the neighborhood' for outdoor play; use 'in the warm sunshine' to describe being bathed by sunlight.

× Yes, I still enjoy visiting parks, but now I usually prefer to stroll along the paths or sit on the bench because the peaceful atmosphere and fresh air help me unwind after a busy day.

✓ Yes, I still enjoy visiting parks, but now I usually prefer to stroll along the paths or sit on a bench because the peaceful atmosphere and fresh air help me unwind after a busy day.

'Sit on the bench' implies a specific bench already known; in this general statement use the indefinite article 'a bench'. Use articles appropriately: 'a' before singular, non-specific nouns.

× Yes, I would definitely like to see more parks in the city I live because I really enjoy the calm environments there.

✓ Yes, I would definitely like to see more parks in the city I live in because I really enjoy the calm environments there.

Missing preposition 'in' at end of clause 'the city I live in' (preposition placement related to article/structure). The original omits required preposition; include 'in' to make the clause grammatically correct. Also consider 'calm environment' (singular) for a general concept.

× Parks also provide space for exercise and play, which would improve people's health and make the neighborhood feel friendlier.

✓ Parks also provide space for exercise and play, which would improve people's health and make the neighborhood feel friendlier.

No article error in this sentence; retained as original. No change needed.

× No, I don't really seek out famous parks.

✓ No, I don't really seek out famous parks.

Sentence is grammatically correct; 'seek out' is appropriate. No preposition change needed.

× I tend to visit whichever part I happen to pass by.

✓ I tend to visit whichever parts I happen to pass by.

'Whichever part I happen to pass by' is awkward because 'parts' aligns with 'visit' meaning multiple areas; plural improves subject-object agreement and naturalness. Change to plural 'parts' for consistency with general habit.

× But if I travel somewhere new, I'm definitely interested in visiting any parks.

✓ But if I travel somewhere new, I'm definitely interested in visiting any park I find.

Use of 'any parks' is grammatical but slightly awkward; better to use 'any park I find' to match singular 'any' with a specific instance or use 'any parks I find'. This clarifies the conditional present-future relationship. Maintain present simple in 'travel' and present continuous/conditional for interest.
