Do you still like going to parks now?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence and one clear reason with a linking word. Use correct singular/plural forms and more natural phrases (e.g., "not really" rather than "not my cup of tea" if unsure). Keep under five sentences and avoid repeating words like "like."
Ví dụ: I don't really enjoy going to parks now because Taiwan is very hot for much of the year. Therefore, I usually exercise indoors, doing activities such as yoga or treadmill running, which I find more comfortable.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and politely; avoid slang like "Nah." Use linking words to structure information (e.g., "however", "because"). Be specific and correct names/terms (e.g., "Taipei is small and has fewer parks; national parks are elsewhere"). Correct plural/singular and provide one clear example.
Ví dụ: I wouldn't say we need many more parks in my city because Taipei is quite compact and already has limited space. Instead, most large parks and national parks, such as Yushan National Park, are located in other counties, which attracts many foreign visitors for hiking.

× Yes, it definitely in my childhood, my parents always take me to the park to ride a bike 'cause they feel like it, uh, they feel like hang out more.
✓ Yes, I definitely enjoyed going to parks in my childhood; my parents always took me to the park to ride a bike because they wanted to hang out more.
The original sentence uses incorrect tense and missing verbs. 'It definitely in my childhood' lacks a main verb; change to 'I definitely enjoyed going to parks' to express habitual past. 'Take' should be past 'took' for past habitual action. 'Cause they feel like it' should be 'because they wanted to hang out more' to match past tense and convey purpose. Also avoid informal filler words. Suggestions: use complete verb phrases, match past tense for past habits, and replace colloquial contractions with 'because' in formal responses.
× Can, uh, can take care of our body and our eyes, protect our eyes.
✓ They thought it could help take care of our bodies and protect our eyes.
The original fragment 'Can, uh, can take care...' is ungrammatical and unclear. Use 'could' or 'could help' to report the parents' belief in the past. 'Body' should be plural 'bodies' when speaking generally. Suggestions: use modal in past ('could') for reported ability and pluralize nouns when referring to people generally.
× Actually it is not my cup of tea cause Taiwan is a high temperature countries.
✓ Actually, it is not my cup of tea because Taiwan is a high-temperature country.
Mismatch in number: 'countries' should be singular 'country' since referring to Taiwan. Also 'high temperature' should be hyphenated as 'high-temperature' when used as a compound adjective before a noun. Suggestions: ensure subject number matches and use hyphenation for compound adjectives.
× So I prefer to stay in indoor to do some like indoor exercise.
✓ So I prefer to stay indoors to do indoor exercise.
Use the adverb 'indoors' rather than the prepositional phrase 'in indoor'. Remove extra filler 'to do some like'. 'Indoor' before 'exercise' is correct as adjective. Suggestions: use 'indoors' for location and avoid redundant words.
× I don't really like to hang out to like maybe ride the bike or do like badminton.
✓ I don't really like to hang out or do activities like riding a bike or playing badminton.
Incorrect use of 'to' after 'hang out' and misuse of 'ride the bike' (prefer 'riding a bike') and 'do ... badminton' should be 'play badminton'. Also remove repetitive 'like'. Suggestions: use parallel gerunds ('hang out or do activities like riding...') and correct verbs for sports ('play').
× I prefer to do indoors activities.
✓ I prefer to do indoor activities.
Use adjective 'indoor' to modify 'activities' and 'indoors activities' is incorrect. Also 'indoor activities' is the standard collocation. Suggestions: use correct adjective form before nouns.
× Nah not really because uh my local city is very small Taipei City.
✓ Not really, because my local city, Taipei City, is very small.
Original lacks commas and has awkward word order. Insert commas to set off the city name and reorder to a natural English structure. Avoid casual 'Nah' in formal responses. Suggestions: place appositive 'Taipei City' between commas.
× They it doesn't have many like park in my city.
✓ It doesn't have many parks in my city.
Extra pronoun 'They' is incorrect, and 'park' should be plural 'parks'. Remove filler 'like'. Suggestions: ensure subject matches verb and pluralize countable nouns when needed.
× Most of the National Park are in other counties and cities in my country.
✓ Most of the national parks are in other counties and cities in my country.
Use plural 'national parks' and lowercase common noun phrase. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'parks are'. Suggestions: pluralize proper common nouns when referring to multiple locations and use consistent capitalization.
× Umm the most famous one is Yun Shan National Park.
✓ The most famous one is Yushan National Park.
Name likely 'Yushan' (single word) rather than 'Yun Shan'; 'the most famous one' is acceptable but prefer 'the most famous is'. Suggestions: confirm correct proper noun spelling and simplify phrase to 'the most famous is...'.
× Many foreigns will come here to travel to try to kind of mountain.
✓ Many foreigners come here to travel and to climb the mountains.
'Foreigns' is incorrect; use 'foreigners'. 'Will come' can be present habitual 'come' or 'visit' depending on context. 'Try to kind of mountain' is ungrammatical; likely meant 'to climb the mountains' or 'to hike in the mountains'. Suggestions: use correct noun 'foreigners', choose appropriate verb ('visit', 'come', 'climb'/'hike'), and avoid vague phrases like 'kind of'.
× Yes, there are several, several parts I'm gonna travel uh, but, but most of them are, are at overseas, especially bank uh, Banff National Park in Canada, uh, 'cause I feel I have, I have so many friends they've traveled there about their, their beautiful rivers.
✓ Yes, there are several parks I'm going to travel to in the future, but most of them are overseas, especially Banff National Park in Canada, because I have many friends who have traveled there and told me about its beautiful rivers.
Multiple issues: 'gonna' is informal -> 'going to'. 'parts' should be 'parks'. 'at overseas' is incorrect; use 'overseas'. 'bank' is filler; 'Banff' is correct. Replace 'I feel I have, I have so many friends they've traveled there about their, their beautiful rivers' with 'I have many friends who have traveled there and told me about its beautiful rivers' to use correct relative clause and present perfect for experience. Suggestions: use 'going to', correct nouns, use 'who have' for people with experience, and maintain subject-verb clarity.
