Travelling— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your answer more natural, concise and correct vocabulary. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, reduce hesitation, and use one or two specific reasons with a linking word. Also correct word choice (e.g., “aisle” not “walkway”, and “scenic” instead of “prestigious”).

Ví dụ: Yes, I prefer a window seat. For one thing, it gives me a better view of the landscape, so I can relax and enjoy the scenery; moreover, I like leaning against the window to sleep on long journeys.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and use clear, specific details. Start with a topic sentence answering the childhood question, then contrast with the recent trip using linking words (e.g., “however”, “but”). Correct unclear phrases (e.g., “write above hours together” is unclear) and give concrete information such as trip length, destination and activities. Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Not really — I didn't take long trips as a child. However, last year my family and I drove to a nearby town, which took about three hours, and the five of us enjoyed sightseeing and visiting local restaurants.

× Yes, I prefer sitting next to the seat, a window seat, rather than sitting on the walkway beside the walkway, because from the window we can see the very, uh, prestigious views outside, that's why.

✓ Yes, I prefer sitting in a window seat rather than sitting in the aisle seat, because from the window we can see the beautiful views outside.

Errors: 'next to the seat' and 'beside the walkway' are awkward preposition choices and repetition; 'sitting in a window seat' and 'in the aisle seat' are natural collocations. 'Prestigious views' is incorrect collocation; 'beautiful views' fits meaning. Also removed filler 'uh' and redundant clause 'that's why' to improve clarity. Suggestion: use correct prepositions with seat types (in a window seat, in the aisle seat) and choose appropriate adjectives for views.

× I didn't have a long journey as a child but last year we had a journey to another town.

✓ I didn't take any long journeys as a child, but last year we took a trip to another town.

Errors: 'have a long journey' uses present-tense verb with past meaning; use past tense 'didn't take' for habitual past. 'We had a journey' is awkward; 'we took a trip' is natural. Ensure past tense consistency: both clauses should use past forms. Suggestion: use 'take a trip/journey' and keep past tense consistent.

× We have to write above hours together.

✓ We spent several hours together.

Errors: Sentence 'We have to write above hours together' is ungrammatical and unclear. Likely intended meaning is 'we spent several hours together.' Use correct verb 'spent' for time duration in the past and a quantifier like 'several' or a specific number. Suggestion: express duration with 'spend/spent time' and a clear quantity.

× There are five family members who enjoy the trips together.

✓ There are five members of my family who enjoy trips together.

Errors: 'family members' is acceptable but 'five family members' is slightly unnatural; 'members of my family' is clearer. Also 'the trips' implies specific trips; 'trips' generalises the activity. Suggestion: choose phrasing 'members of my family' and use plural 'trips' for habitual action.
