Do you still like going to parks now?
Thí sinh
Maybe not really because now I'm just a first year student in university. That means I'm not have enough time to go out. I need to prepare for my next semester, so that's mean if I have time I will go to the park, but not now.

Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Thí sinh
Not really, because I think that when you would like to be to build a park, you need to demolish a lot of trees and places, space. So I think it's not really good for the environment. So I think we can just play outside, go out on the street and do everything. Not really need to park in the city too much.

Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Thí sinh
Definitely, yes. And I really like the Disneyland in Shanghai, China because it's, I think it's a not a really a park like in Vietnam, but it's for the people who love Disney and we can play everything in that. And I love that. I want to try one more time, one times.
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Câu trả lời cần rõ ràng hơn, dùng cấu trúc ngữ pháp đúng và tránh lặp từ/tiếng lắp. Nên mở đầu bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, sau đó cung cấp chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ hoạt động bạn làm, tần suất, với ai) và dùng liên từ để nối ý. Chú ý thì động từ (used to) và sắp xếp từ trong câu (there is/was) để tự nhiên hơn.
Ví dụ: Yes, I loved going to the park near my apartment when I was a child. I used to go there almost every weekend with my sister to skateboard and play games. The park had a small skate area and lots of open space, which made it perfect for practicing tricks.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Cần dùng câu trả lời trực tiếp, ngắn gọn, sau đó giải thích cụ thể với liên từ. Chú ý ngữ pháp (I don't have enough time; that means). Tránh dùng nhiều từ không chắc như "maybe" và sắp xếp câu rõ ràng để ý tưởng mạch lạc.
Ví dụ: Not really, because I am a first-year university student and I don’t have much free time. I need to study and prepare for the next semester, so I only visit the park occasionally when my schedule allows.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Ý tưởng chưa rõ và có mâu thuẫn logic (xây công viên thường bảo vệ không phải phá hủy cây). Cần nêu quan điểm rõ ràng, dùng lý do cụ thể và chính xác, tránh lỗi ngữ pháp và từ vựng không phù hợp (demolish trees?). Dùng linking words như "because", "however" để liên kết ý và đưa ví dụ cụ thể.
Ví dụ: I’m not sure we need many more parks in the city because creating new recreational areas can sometimes reduce green space if not planned well. However, I think it would be better to improve existing parks and add small community gardens where people can relax.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Điểm: 66.0Gợi ý: Cần nêu rõ công viên cụ thể và lý do cụ thể vì sao muốn đến, tránh diễn đạt vòng vo và lỗi ngữ pháp (one more time / once). Dùng một hoặc hai câu bổ sung chi tiết như những hoạt động bạn muốn trải nghiệm và khi nào bạn dự định đi.
Ví dụ: Yes, I would love to visit Shanghai Disneyland in the future. It’s different from parks in Vietnam because it offers themed rides and shows, and I would like to try the roller coasters and watch the nighttime parade when I have the chance.
× next to my house have a public park for the people who live in the apartment near that park.
✓ Next to my house there was a public park for the people who lived in the apartments near that park.
Use the correct 'there be' construction for existence: 'there was' for past tense. Also make nouns and verbs agree: plural 'apartments' and past 'lived'. Suggestion: Start with 'There was' + subject + location, and match tense and number.
× I uh, used to uh, like, like skateboarding and I often play that when I go to the park with my sister.
✓ I used to like skateboarding and I often played it when I went to the park with my sister.
After 'used to' refer to past habitual actions: use base verb for 'used to' (used to like) and past tense for 'often played' and 'went' to keep past reference consistent. Replace pronoun 'that' with 'it'. Suggestion: Keep past tense for habitual past actions: 'used to + base verb' and past simple for related verbs.
× Maybe not really because now I'm just a first year student in university.
✓ Maybe not really because now I'm just a first-year student at university.
Use adjective form 'first-year' with a hyphen and correct preposition 'at university' (common collocation). Suggestion: Use hyphenated compound adjectives before nouns and standard prepositions: 'first-year student at university'.
× That means I'm not have enough time to go out.
✓ That means I don't have enough time to go out.
Negative present simple requires auxiliary 'do' for 'I': 'I don't have'. Using 'I'm not have' is incorrect. Suggestion: Use 'do/does' + not + base verb for present simple negatives: 'I don't have'.
× I need to prepare for my next semester, so that's mean if I have time I will go to the park, but not now.
✓ I need to prepare for my next semester, so that means if I have time I will go to the park, but not now.
Use 'means' to agree with 'that' (third-person singular): 'that means'. Maintain future 'will' for planned conditional action. Suggestion: Use correct verb form 'means' for third-person singular subjects.
× Not really, because I think that when you would like to be to build a park, you need to demolish a lot of trees and places, space.
✓ Not really, because I think that when you want to build a park, you need to demolish a lot of trees and spaces.
Don't use 'would like to be to'—use 'want to' or 'would like to' + base verb. Remove unnecessary 'be to'. Use plural 'spaces' and simplify phrasing. Suggestion: Use 'want to build' or 'would like to build' and keep nouns consistent.
× So I think it's not really good for the environment.
✓ So I think it's not really good for the environment.
Sentence is grammatically correct; no article error. (No change needed.) Suggestion: N/A.
× So I think we can just play outside, go out on the street and do everything.
✓ So I think we can just play outside, go out into the street and do many activities.
'Go out on the street' is understandable but 'go out into the street' is more natural; 'do everything' is vague—use 'do many activities'. Suggestion: Use more precise verbs/nouns for clarity: 'do many activities'.
× Not really need to park in the city too much.
✓ We don't really need to have so many parks in the city.
Original lacks subject and auxiliary and confuses 'park' (verb) with 'parks' (noun). Correct sentence uses 'We don't really need' + noun 'parks' and quantifier 'so many'. Suggestion: Provide subject and auxiliary for negative statements and use correct noun form.
× And I really like the Disneyland in Shanghai, China because it's, I think it's a not a really a park like in Vietnam, but it's for the people who love Disney and we can play everything in that.
✓ And I really like Disneyland in Shanghai, China because I think it's not really a park like those in Vietnam; it's for people who love Disney and we can do many things there.
Do not use 'the' before some proper nouns like 'Disneyland' in general usage. Fix article order 'a not a really a' to 'not really a'. Use plural 'those' to compare parks in Vietnam, replace 'play everything in that' with 'do many things there'. Suggestion: Use correct article usage with proper nouns and clearer verbs: 'do many things there'.
× And I love that. I want to try one more time, one times.
✓ And I love that. I want to try one more time.
'One times' is incorrect; use 'one more time' (singular) or 'one more time' without repeating. Ensure singular/plural agreement. Suggestion: Use 'one more time' for a single additional occasion.
