Travelling— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be careful with tense consistency and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence in present simple (since question asks about general habit), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep it within 3–4 concise sentences and correct minor grammar errors (e.g., "in trains or by trains" -> "on trains"; remove the extra "whenever").

Ví dụ: Yes, I usually look out of the window when I travel, especially on trains. For example, living in Sydney gives me spectacular views of the harbour and coastline, which often makes me feel like I’m in a movie. Because I enjoy scenery so much, I usually choose a window seat to relax and watch the landscape pass by.

Gợi ý: Avoid redundant phrasing and long clauses. Answer directly then give a brief reason and a specific example. Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas and correct small errors (e.g., "because of using iPhone 17" -> "because I use an iPhone 17"). Remove the trailing vague phrase "and there."

Ví dụ: Yes, I often take photos and short videos of the scenery outside the car window. I do this because I want to capture memories, and it’s easy to do so with my iPhone 17. For instance, last month I filmed the coastal road while driving to the beach and later shared the highlights with my family.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence explaining preference, then give specific supporting details and a linking word to show reason or contrast. Correct small phrasing issues (e.g., "I do hiking" -> "I go hiking") and avoid repeating similar words. Keep it to 2–3 sentences if possible.

Ví dụ: I prefer the mountains because I enjoy hiking and outdoor challenges. For example, when I visit the Philippines I often climb peaks such as Mount Pulao and Mount Marilyn Mon with friends, which I find both rewarding and social.

× I definitely looked out the window at the scenery when traveling, especially in trains or by trains.

✓ I definitely look out the window at the scenery when traveling, especially on trains.

The student begins describing a habitual action (what they do when traveling), so present simple is appropriate rather than past simple. Also, the preposition with 'trains' should be 'on' rather than 'in' or 'by', and 'by trains' is awkward; 'on trains' is natural. Suggestion: use present simple for habits and the correct preposition: 'I definitely look out the window when traveling, especially on trains.'

× I live in Sydney so the views there are amazing and I feel like I'm in a movie when I whenever I sit at the window seat.

✓ I live in Sydney, so the views there are amazing and I feel like I'm in a movie whenever I sit in the window seat.

This sentence describes a present and habitual state, so present tense is correct. The original had an extra 'when' creating redundancy ('when I whenever'). Remove 'when' and use 'whenever'. Also, the preposition with 'window seat' should be 'in' rather than 'at'. Add a comma after the introductory clause for clarity. Suggestion: 'I live in Sydney, so the views there are amazing and I feel like I'm in a movie whenever I sit in the window seat.'

× Yes, I definitely take photos and videos of the scenery outside the car window and when it comes to taking pictures and videos, it's very easy because of using iPhone 17 and it's very handy whenever I go.

✓ Yes, I definitely take photos and videos of the scenery outside the car window, and when it comes to taking pictures and videos, it's very easy because I use an iPhone 17; it's very handy whenever I go out.

The sentence describes habitual actions, so present tense is appropriate. 'Because of using iPhone 17' is unnatural; use 'because I use an iPhone 17' or 'because of my iPhone 17.' Also add article 'an' before 'iPhone 17'. 'Whenever I go' is vague—'whenever I go out' clarifies traveling. Use punctuation to split long clauses. Suggestion: '...it's very easy because I use an iPhone 17; it's very handy whenever I go out.'

× I use this phone to capture memories and there.

✓ I use this phone to capture memories when I travel there.

The original ends with a dangling adverb 'there' that lacks a clear reference and creates an incomplete idea. Rephrase to show purpose and location: 'to capture memories when I travel there' or simply 'to capture memories of the trip.' Ensure the adverb 'there' follows a verb or is part of a phrase that makes the meaning clear.

× I prefer mountains.

✓ I prefer the mountains.

When referring to a general category like mountains versus the sea, English commonly uses the definite article 'the' before the plural noun: 'the mountains' and 'the sea.' Use present simple 'prefer' for current preference.

× I used to hike a lot back in the Philippines and I've tried hiking Mount Pulao, Mount Oola, Mount Marilyn Mon.

✓ I used to hike a lot back in the Philippines, and I've hiked Mount Pulao, Mount Oola, and Mount Marilyn Mon.

'I've tried hiking' is awkward here; 'I've hiked' is more natural to state that the speaker has completed hikes on those mountains. Maintain present perfect to indicate past experiences with relevance to the present. Also add commas and 'and' for list clarity.

× Those are the places that I love visiting whenever I go to the Philippines and I do hiking with my friends and colleagues.

✓ Those are places I love visiting whenever I go to the Philippines, and I go hiking there with my friends and colleagues.

Use present simple 'love visiting' for habitual preference. 'Do hiking' is non-idiomatic; use 'go hiking' or 'hike.' Reorder to place 'there' after the verb phrase for clarity and add a comma before the coordinating conjunction. Suggestion: '...and I go hiking there with my friends and colleagues.'
