Parks— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make the answer more natural and grammatically correct, use a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details, and avoid redundancy. Also correct tense and pronoun order (e.g., "My mom and I").

Ví dụ: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. My mom and I would often rent a bike and spend leisurely afternoons riding around and playing with other children, which I remember as very happy and active times.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give a specific reason and an example. Use linking words (however, so) to connect ideas and avoid small grammatical slips.

Ví dụ: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks; however, parks are quite limited where I live. So, I usually spend weekends at the mall with my family because it offers more activities and places to relax.

Gợi ý: Good specific detail. Make the structure slightly tighter: give a topic sentence, then expand with one or two clear, linked reasons or examples. Use precise vocabulary (botanical garden, walking paths).

Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city, especially ones like the botanical gardens in Australia. For example, parks with abundant flowers and well-maintained walking paths would be perfect for jogging and picnics.

Gợi ý: Combine and clarify your ideas with a stronger opening sentence and specific reasons or expectations. Use correct tense and reduce vague phrases like "how things are going there."

Ví dụ: Yes, I have several parks I want to visit in the future, especially Central Park in New York. I'm eager to see its famous landscapes and recreational areas, and I would also like to visit notable parks in Europe to compare their design and atmosphere.

× As a child me and my mom would go to parks, rent a bike and enjoy the afternoon with the kids there.

✓ As a child my mom and I would go to parks, rent a bike, and enjoy the afternoons with the kids there.

The subject pronoun 'I' must be used instead of 'me' when it is the subject of the clause; use 'my mom and I' not 'me and my mom'. Also add commas in a list for clarity and pluralize 'afternoon' to 'afternoons' to match habitual action. Suggestion: place yourself after the other person ('my mom and I') and ensure subject pronoun form is used.

× Yes, I like going to parks.

✓ Yes, I liked going to parks.

The examiner asked about childhood ('Did you like going to parks as a child?'), so the response should be in past tense to match the time reference. Use 'liked' not 'like'. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time frame in the question.

× I usually just go to the mall to spend the weekends with my family.

✓ I usually just go to the mall to spend weekends with my family.

When speaking generally about weekends, use 'on weekends' or omit the article: 'spend weekends' or better 'spend the weekends' if referring to specific weekends. In this context 'spend weekends' or 'spend the weekends' are both acceptable; removing extra 'the' after 'to' makes the phrase more natural. Suggestion: say 'to spend weekends with my family' or 'to spend the weekends with my family' depending on meaning.

× preferably parks that are similar to botanical gardens in Australia where they planted lots of flowers and there's a walkway where people can just jog or have a picnic.

✓ preferably parks similar to the botanical gardens in Australia where many flowers are planted and there is a walkway where people can jog or have a picnic.

Use passive present or present simple for general descriptions of places: 'flowers are planted' is present passive rather than past 'they planted', and 'there's' should be expanded to 'there is' for formality. Also include 'the' before 'botanical gardens' when referring to the known type. Suggestion: use present simple or present passive to describe general features and use consistent formal contractions.

× Yes, I still like going to parks now, but parks here in the Philippines are very limited so I usually just go to the mall to spend the weekends with my family.

✓ Yes, I still like going to parks now, but parks here in the Philippines are very limited, so I usually just go to the mall to spend weekends with my family.

The original mixes fine, but 'to spend the weekends' is slightly awkward; removing 'the' makes it more natural for habitual actions. Also add a comma before 'so' to join independent clauses. Suggestion: place a comma before coordinating conjunctions joining two independent clauses and choose the more natural article usage for habitual expressions.

× It's quite popular, so I really wanted to see how things are going there and maybe some other parks in Europe as well.

✓ It's quite popular, so I would really like to see how things are there and maybe visit some other parks in Europe as well.

The student mixes past ('wanted') with present/future intention. For expressing desire about a future visit, use 'would really like to' or 'really want to' and use 'visit' rather than 'see' for places. 'See how things are going there' is awkward; 'how things are there' or 'what it's like there' is better. Suggestion: keep tense consistent when stating future intentions and use appropriate verbs for visiting places.

× I would love to see more parks in the future, especially Central Park in the United States.

✓ I would love to see more parks in the future, especially Central Park in the United States.

No grammatical error requiring correction under the provided list; sentence is acceptable. Suggestion: keep as is. (Included to show checked sentence.)

× where they planted lots of flowers and there's a walkway where people can just jog or have a picnic.

✓ where many flowers are planted and there is a walkway where people can jog or have a picnic.

Combines issues: 'they planted' implies a specific past action by unspecified agents; for general description use present passive 'are planted'. Also 'there's' is a contraction of 'there is'—in speech it's fine but in corrected sentence expand to 'there is'. Suggestion: use present passive for ongoing features and avoid contractions in formal responses.
