Parks— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct and use past tense consistently. Start with a clear topic sentence that answers the question, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid hesitation sounds and unclear vocabulary ("pastoral" is odd here). Use linking words to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoyed going to parks as a child. I spent hours running, playing on swings and climbing trees, which helped me burn off energy and make friends. Because of that, parks were one of my favorite places to be.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and correct small grammar/slight hesitations. Use one topic sentence and then give a specific reason with a linking word. Remove repeated words and filler phrases.

Ví dụ: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks. Recently I often take my nephew there to play, and seeing him learn new skills on the playground makes me very happy, so I visit parks regularly.

Gợi ý: Good direct answer and clear reasons. Improve by being slightly more concise and using a linking phrase to show result or emphasis. Add a specific example of activities to make it more vivid.

Ví dụ: Absolutely. I would welcome more parks in my city because they provide meeting places for neighbours and spaces for activities like jogging, picnics and outdoor classes, which would improve community life.

Gợi ý: Be less repetitive and use conditional form correctly. Start with a clear statement, then give a specific example of a type of park or country you'd like to visit. Remove repeated fillers and use linking words like "however" or "but" to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: I'm not familiar with parks outside my town, so I don't have a specific one in mind. However, if I had the chance to travel abroad, I'd love to visit large urban parks such as Central Park in New York or Hyde Park in London to see how they differ from our local parks.

× Umm, as a child I like being outside and exerting my energy.

✓ Umm, as a child I liked being outside and exerting my energy.

The speaker refers to a past time (as a child) but uses simple present 'like'; this is a tense mismatch. Use past simple 'liked' to match the timeframe. Suggestion: use 'liked' for past habits or 'used to like' for repeated past actions.

× So I don't know if I really like pastoral.

✓ So I don't know if I really liked parks.

The word 'pastoral' is an adjective/noun meaning rural or idealized countryside and is not appropriate here; the student likely meant 'parks.' Also maintain past tense 'liked' to match 'as a child.' Suggestion: use the noun 'parks' or say 'the outdoors.'

× Well in my age right now, yes.

✓ Well, at my age now, yes.

The phrase 'in my age' is incorrect preposition usage and unnatural phrasing. Use 'at my age' to indicate current stage of life. This is a present-time statement, so present tense is fine.

× And I I still like going to parks since I have a nephew now and I like to play with him in the park and it makes me so happy seeing him grow.

✓ And I still like going to parks since I have a nephew now; I like to play with him in the park, and it makes me so happy to see him grow.

Issues: duplicated 'I', run-on sentence and gerund phrase 'seeing him grow' would be clearer as an infinitive 'to see him grow.' Improve clarity by removing repetition, adding punctuation, and changing gerund to infinitive. Suggestion: split into two clauses or use commas/semicolons.

× Well, I'm babysitting.

✓ Well, I babysit him sometimes.

Depending on intended meaning, 'I'm babysitting' implies current ongoing action at this moment; if the speaker means a general activity they do occasionally, use 'I babysit' or 'I babysit him sometimes.' If they truly mean right now, 'I'm babysitting him' would be correct. Clarify intent.

× Absolutely, I would be glad seeing more parks in my town since it's where people meet and do recreational activities.

✓ Absolutely, I would be glad to see more parks in my town since they're where people meet and do recreational activities.

'Be glad seeing' is ungrammatical; after 'would be glad' use the infinitive 'to see.' Also change 'it's where people' to plural 'they're where people' to match 'parks.' Suggestion: use 'glad to see' and ensure pronoun agreement.

× It's like a space where we can interact and know people.

✓ It's like a space where we can interact and get to know people.

The verb 'know' is acceptable but 'get to know' is the natural collocation for meeting and becoming acquainted with people. Suggestion: use 'get to know' for clarity.

× I'm not sure.

✓ I'm not sure.

No grammatical correction needed; sentence is appropriate for current uncertainty. Included for completeness; no change required.

× I don't know any other parks than we have here in my town.

✓ I don't know of any parks other than the ones we have here in my town.

Incorrect structure 'any other parks than we have' should be 'any parks other than the ones we have' or 'any parks besides those we have.' Also add 'of' after 'know' in this context. Suggestion: use 'know of' and 'other than the ones.'

× So if I would be given a chance to go to other country and visit parks, I think it would, it would be, it would be nice.

✓ So if I were given the chance to go to another country and visit parks, I think it would be nice.

Use the correct conditional form: 'if I were given' (subjunctive) or 'if I were to be given.' Also use 'another country' (missing article) and remove stuttering repetition. Suggestion: use 'if I were given the chance' and 'another country.'
