Walking— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural: start with a direct topic sentence, briefly explain reason, and avoid overly personal or medical detail unless relevant. Use linking word for clarity.

Ví dụ: Not really. I don't walk much at the moment because I'm managing a health condition, so I prefer to rest. However, I try to do light stretches at home when I can.

Gợi ý: This is good: direct answer and supporting details. Improve coherence by using a linking word and shorten redundant phrases for naturalness.

Ví dụ: Yes. I often played and walked outside with my friends as a child; for example, we would stroll around the neighbourhood while eating snacks and chatting.

Gợi ý: Make the reasons clearer and more specific, use linking words, correct grammar (article use, plural/singular) and avoid vague phrases like 'people that inspire them.'

Ví dụ: People enjoy walking in parks for several reasons: firstly, the scenery and fresh air are relaxing; secondly, parks offer a safe, social environment where seeing others exercising can motivate you to walk longer.

Gợi ý: Be factual and use correct tense and vocabulary. Avoid hesitation fillers (uh) and inaccurate or emotional phrasing. Give one or two clear reasons linked with 'because' and a brief supporting detail.

Ví dụ: I'd like to take a long walk in Rizal Park (Luneta) because it's a large, scenic park with historical monuments; for example, I could visit the Jose Rizal memorial and enjoy a peaceful lakeside walk.

Gợi ý: Answer directly, use more natural phrasing and add a brief alternative activity to enrich the response. Use a linking word to show contrast if mentioning attempts or alternatives.

Ví dụ: I haven't gone for a walk recently because of my health condition. Instead, I've been doing short indoor exercises and gentle stretches to stay active.

× No, I don't walk a lot nowadays because of my health condition. I do have endometriosis and I just want to rest.

✓ No, I don't walk a lot nowadays because of my health condition. I have endometriosis and I just want to rest.

Use of 'do have' is unnecessary for simple possession in present tense. Native speakers normally say 'I have endometriosis.' Removing 'do' makes the sentence natural and grammatically correct. Keep present simple for a permanent condition.

× Yes, when I was a child I used to play a lot outside with my playmates and walk just like a stroll with my friends while eating snacks and drinks.

✓ Yes, when I was a child I used to play a lot outside with my playmates and take strolls with my friends while eating snacks and drinking.

The phrase 'walk just like a stroll' is awkward; use 'take strolls' or 'go for strolls.' Also 'eating snacks and drinks' is incorrect because you 'drink' drinks, not 'eat' them. Use parallel gerunds 'eating snacks and drinking (drinks)'. This keeps past habitual 'used to' consistent.

× Many people like to walk in parks because of the good scenery, a fresh air and the people they see and the people that inspire them to walk another miles without hesitation.

✓ Many people like to walk in parks because of the good scenery, the fresh air, and the people they see who inspire them to walk another mile without hesitation.

Article and count noun errors: 'a fresh air' is incorrect; use 'the fresh air' or just 'fresh air.' 'Another miles' mixes singular and plural; use 'another mile' or 'other miles.' Also combine clauses: 'the people they see and the people that inspire them' is repetitive; use 'the people they see who inspire them.' Parallel list items require commas and 'and'.

× I'd like to take a long walk in Luneta because it is a great place to be and also it is a historical place where, uh, where our national hero dies. There.

✓ I'd like to take a long walk in Luneta because it is a great place to be and also a historical place where our national hero died.

The clause refers to a past event, so use past tense 'died' rather than present 'dies.' Remove the filler 'uh' and duplicate 'where.' Also 'it is a historical place where' is sufficient without the extra comma and 'There.'

× I did not go for a walk lately since I have health conditions.

✓ I have not gone for a walk lately because I have health conditions.

Use present perfect 'have not gone' with 'lately' to indicate a recent action that has relevance now. 'Did not go ... lately' is incorrect combination of past simple with 'lately.' Also use 'because' rather than 'since' to express reason, and 'health conditions' can be kept plural if that is intended.
