Walking— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid confusing phrasing (e.g. "work a lot" vs "walk a lot"). Use linking words like "so" or "therefore" for coherence.

Ví dụ: Yes, I walk every day to stay healthy. I usually walk for about an hour in the evening after work, because I spend most of my day at my computer and need to stretch my legs.

Gợi ý: Good direct answer with specific details. Improve by adding a linking word to show flow and one short reflection (reason or memory) to enrich the response.

Ví dụ: Yes, I walked a lot as a child. For example, I used to walk to and from school every day, and I often walked to nearby shops to buy groceries, which made me feel independent.

Gợi ý: Good variety of reasons and groups. Improve coherence by using linking words (e.g. "for example", "while"). Use slightly more formal vocabulary than "chit chat" and "chill" in the exam context.

Ví dụ: People walk in parks for different reasons. For example, elderly people often walk to get fresh air and socialize with peers, while children play on the playground, and young adults come to relax and meet friends.

Gợi ý: The answer is unclear and includes unrelated detail about cooking. Give one clear location and explain why with 1–2 relevant reasons using linking words. Avoid introducing unrelated topics.

Ví dụ: If I had the chance, I would take a long walk in the hills or a nature reserve because I enjoy trekking and being close to nature; it helps me relax and escape the stress of daily work.

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly in past tense and avoid rhetorical questions. Give one clear recent instance and a brief reason or detail, using appropriate tense and linking words.

Ví dụ: Recently I went for a walk on my apartment terrace because it gets a cool breeze in the evenings. Sometimes I also go for walks with friends when we have time.

× Yes I do work a lot to keep my health active as most of my work is on system.

✓ Yes, I work a lot to keep myself healthy because most of my work is on the computer.

The original sentence used 'do work' unnecessarily and omitted articles/pronouns. Use simple present 'I work' for habitual actions. Add 'myself' and change 'health active' to 'healthy'. 'on system' is incorrect preposition and noun; use 'on the computer'. Also add commas for clarity.

× To balance my fitness along with my work life I do small walking for an hour daily.

✓ To balance my fitness with my work life, I take a short walk for an hour each day.

'do small walking' is ungrammatical. Use 'take a short walk' or 'go for a short walk'. Replace 'along with' with 'with' and 'daily' with 'each day' for natural phrasing. Add comma after introductory phrase.

× Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?

✓ Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?

This question sentence is correct. No grammatical change needed. It correctly uses past tense 'did' to ask about a past habit.

× When I was a child, I used to walk regularly from my school to my home and vice versa.

✓ When I was a child, I used to walk regularly from my school to my home and back.

Original is acceptable, but 'and back' is more concise than 'and vice versa'. No tense change needed; 'used to' correctly indicates a past habitual action.

× I even used to walk to shops nearby to get some groceries.

✓ I even used to walk to the nearby shops to get groceries.

Add definite article 'the' before 'nearby shops' for naturalness and remove 'some' before 'groceries' which is unnecessary. 'Used to' correctly expresses past habit.

× Usually elderly people like to walk in parks to have some fresh air and chit chat with their age group, whereas kids play in the park and youngsters come to park to chill with their friends.

✓ Usually elderly people like to walk in parks to get some fresh air and chit-chat with people their age, whereas kids play in the park and young people come to the park to relax with their friends.

Replace 'have some fresh air' with 'get some fresh air' and 'chit chat with their age group' with 'chit-chat with people their age' for natural collocation. Use consistent terms: 'young people' instead of 'youngsters' and add 'the' before the second 'park'. 'Chill' is informal; 'relax' is more appropriate.

× If I have a chance, I would take a long walk in health stations.

✓ If I had the chance, I would take a long walk at a health retreat or nature reserve.

The conditional mixes present and conditional incorrectly. For a hypothetical, use past tense in the if-clause: 'If I had the chance'. 'Health stations' is awkward; use 'health retreat' or 'nature reserve' and use preposition 'at'.

× I can trek and feel close to nature.

✓ I could trek and feel close to nature.

In the conditional context 'If I had the chance, I would...' the following verbs should match the hypothetical mood: 'could' instead of 'can' to indicate ability in that imagined situation.

× Cooking helps me calm down and refreshing from daily work life.

✓ Cooking helps me calm down and feel refreshed from daily work life.

Parallel structure required: 'help me calm down and (help me) feel refreshed'. Use 'feel refreshed' not 'refreshing'. 'From daily work life' is acceptable but 'after my daily work' could be clearer.

× Where did you go for a walk lately?

✓ Where did you go for a walk recently?

'Lately' is more often used with present perfect; with 'did' use 'recently'. The corrected question matches past simple inquiry.

× I usually go for a walk on my apartment terrace.

✓ I usually go for a walk on my apartment terrace.

This sentence is acceptable. It correctly uses present simple for habitual action. Optionally add 'the' before 'apartment terrace' depending on context: 'on the terrace of my apartment'.

× Where I can get cold breeze?

✓ There I can get a cool breeze.

Original is a fragment and incorrect question word order. If intended as a question: 'Where can I get a cool breeze?' If intended as a statement describing the terrace, use 'There I can get a cool breeze.' Also use 'cool breeze' instead of 'cold breeze' for naturalness and add article 'a'.

× And sometimes I'll walk with my friends.

✓ And sometimes I walk with my friends.

If describing habitual behaviour, use present simple 'I walk'. If you mean future intention, 'I'll walk' is okay, but context indicates habitual action so present simple is preferable.
