Did you like going to parks as a child?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Be more precise and natural: start with a direct topic sentence, fix tense and article use, remove irrelevant words, and add one clear supporting detail. Use linking words if needed. For example, say when you went and what you did, and correct phrases like ‘in Delhi’ or ‘as a child’ rather than ‘toddler’ if more appropriate.
Ví dụ: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. I often went with a group of friends in my neighborhood and we usually played cricket or explored the playground. Because the park was close to our homes, we spent hours there every afternoon.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Make the answer more concise and natural: begin with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (articles, tense), avoid repetition (don’t say ‘roam around the park’ twice), and add a brief reason or example. Use a linking word like ‘because’ or ‘so’ to connect ideas smoothly.
Ví dụ: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks. I often meet my childhood friends there for two to three hours, and we usually play volleyball or cricket while catching up.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Answer directly and avoid filler words like ‘uh’ and awkward phrasing. Use clear comparative language and correct quantifiers (‘fewer’ not ‘less’ for countable nouns). Give a specific reason and, if possible, a brief example or suggestion.
Ví dụ: Honestly, I would prefer more playgrounds rather than additional parkland because there are too few play areas for children in my city. For example, most parks lack safe equipment for young kids.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Be direct and correct grammar: avoid unnecessary fillers and fix article and word order errors. State whether you have a specific park in mind, give a short reason why you want to visit, and add a brief supporting detail such as what attracted you to it.
Ví dụ: I don't have a long list, but I would like to visit Universal Studios Singapore. I have seen videos and photos of the rides and shows, and it looks like a fun place to experience.
× When I was a toddler, I regularly went to park because I had many friends.
✓ When I was a toddler, I regularly went to the park because I had many friends.
Use of the noun 'park' requires the definite article 'the' in this context ('go to the park') to refer to parks in general from the child's perspective; this is an article/number context tied to singular count noun usage. Add 'the' to make the singular noun grammatically correct and natural in English.
× We used to play cricket Delhi and roam around the park.
✓ We used to play cricket in Delhi and roam around the park.
The original sentence is missing the preposition 'in' before the place name 'Delhi'. This is a sentence structure and preposition issue: location phrases require appropriate prepositions. Adding 'in' clarifies where the cricket was played.
× Yes I do because my childhood friends are with me till now and we regularly go to park for one 2-3 hours and roam around the park and sometimes play sports like volleyball and cricket.
✓ Yes, I do because my childhood friends are still with me and we regularly go to the park for 2–3 hours, roam around, and sometimes play sports like volleyball and cricket.
Several issues fixed while following allowed types: 'go to park' requires the definite article 'the' for a singular countable noun; 'till now' is better expressed as 'still' in this present context; 'one 2-3 hours' is incorrect quantifier format — use '2–3 hours'. Also streamlined repetition ('roam around the park' to 'roam around'). These corrections keep present tense and plurality correct.
× Uh, honestly saying I would like to see more playing areas than more park areas because there are very less playing areas for children in my city.
✓ Uh, honestly, I would like to see more playing areas rather than more parks because there are very few playing areas for children in my city.
'More playing areas than more park areas' is awkward; use 'rather than' for contrast. 'Very less' is incorrect; use 'very few' with countable nouns. Also 'park areas' is better as 'parks'. This fixes quantifier and comparative phrasing.
× And there is no such parks which in our my wish list.
✓ There are no such parks on my wish list.
Subject-verb and article/number issue: 'there is' should be 'there are' to agree with plural 'parks' (subject-verb agreement and singular/plural). Also 'which in our my wish list' is ungrammatical; use the preposition 'on' with 'wish list' and correct pronoun to 'my'. Combined corrections address plural agreement and word choice.
× But I would like to go a park.
✓ But I would like to go to a park.
The verb phrase 'go to' requires the preposition 'to' before a place. This fixes the verb + preposition collocation. Also 'a park' is acceptable here as an unspecified park.
× If I'm not wrong it's Universal park in Singapore.
✓ If I'm not wrong, it's Universal Park in Singapore.
Primarily punctuation and capitalization: add a comma after the conditional clause and capitalize the proper noun 'Universal Park'. The sentence structure is acceptable; no tense change needed. Also include 'the' optionally if referring to a specific theme park: 'it's Universal Park' is fine.
× I had seen it in pictures and videos.
✓ I have seen it in pictures and videos.
Use present perfect 'have seen' to indicate experience up to now, which fits the current context better than past perfect 'had seen' (which requires a reference past time). Present perfect connects past experience with the present.
