Did you like going to parks as a child?
Thí sinh
When I was a child, I loved going to the park with my parents. We often visited the park near our apartment. It was usually quite busy in the evening. My favorite thing to do there was climbing the small hills and the trees because it felt like a little adventure for me and I got to play with some children.

I want to go to the Renmin Park in Chengdu because it's the most famous park in Chengdu. As a Chengdu, as a people who live in Chengdu, I've never been to Renmin Park actually, so I think it's a pity. And so I really want to go there and to enjoy the view.

Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: Good direct response and relevant supporting details. Improve naturalness and conciseness by avoiding minor grammatical errors and redundancy (e.g., “the trees” vs “trees”, “some children” could be more specific). Use a clear topic sentence then one or two supporting details linked with a connector. Watch past tense consistency and article use.

Do you still like going to parks now?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: Content is relevant but grammar and coherence need work: correct articles (“the park”, “Europe” without article), tenses, and word order. Keep answer within 2–4 sentences: state current situation, then give a brief supporting detail using a linking word like “however” or “when”. Avoid extra filler words.
Ví dụ: I still enjoy parks, but I have less time to visit them now. When I lived in Europe, there were many parks near our apartment, and my husband and I often went for a walk there after dinner.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Điểm: 52.0Gợi ý: The idea is good (more parks improve air quality) but language errors and unclear vocabulary reduce clarity. Use correct verbs (plant trees, absorb carbon dioxide), clearer connectors, and concise phrasing. Provide one clear reason and a brief consequence. Avoid colloquial fillers like “you know”.
Ví dụ: Yes, I would. I think more parks are needed because planting trees would help absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, which would improve air quality in the city.

× Now I have less and less time to go to park, but I still enjoy visiting parks.
✓ Now I have less and less time to go to the park, but I still enjoy visiting parks.
The noun 'park' here needs the definite article 'the' because the speaker refers to parks in general as specific places they would go to (common English collocation: 'go to the park'). Use 'the park' when speaking about the activity of going to a park in general context. Replace 'go to park' with 'go to the park'. Suggestion: memorize common collocations like 'go to the park', 'go to school', 'go to the cinema'. 'Go to park' is ungrammatical without an article.
× When I was living in the Europe there are so many parks around our apartment.
✓ When I was living in Europe there were so many parks around our apartment.
Two issues: 1) 'in the Europe' is incorrect because continental names usually take no article: use 'in Europe'. 2) Tense mismatch: the sentence begins with 'When I was living' (past continuous), so the following clause should use past tense 'there were' not present 'there are'. Correction fixes both. Suggestion: don't use 'the' with 'Europe' and keep verb tenses consistent in time clauses.
× We usually a went to park after dinner with my husband.
✓ We usually went to the park after dinner with my husband.
There is an extra article 'a' before the past verb and missing article before 'park'. Remove the stray 'a' and use 'the park'. Also 'usually went' is correct past simple to match habitual past. Suggestion: for past habitual actions use 'usually' + past simple and ensure no stray words like 'a' before verbs.
× The reason why is because I want bore trees in the park so that they can help the air become better.
✓ The reason is that I want more trees in the park so that they can help improve the air quality.
Multiple errors: 'The reason why is because' is redundant; use 'The reason is that' or 'I want'. 'I want bore trees' is incorrect — likely meant 'more trees' or 'to plant trees'. 'Help the air become better' is awkward; use 'help improve the air quality'. Suggestion: avoid redundancy ('reason why' + 'because') and use 'more trees' or 'to plant trees' and collocations like 'improve air quality'.
× You know, because they deserve the dioxide and then breathe more oxygen to make the environment.
✓ You know, because they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen to improve the environment.
'Deserve the dioxide' is incorrect word choice; the correct verb is 'absorb' (or 'remove') carbon dioxide. 'Breathe more oxygen' is incorrect; trees 'release' or 'produce' oxygen. The phrase 'to make the environment' is vague; use 'to improve the environment'. Suggestion: use accurate verbs for plant functions: 'absorb carbon dioxide' and 'release oxygen'.
× As a Chengdu, as a people who live in Chengdu, I've never been to Renmin Park actually, so I think it's a pity.
✓ As someone from Chengdu, as a person who lives in Chengdu, I've actually never been to Renmin Park, so I think it's a pity.
'As a Chengdu' is incorrect because Chengdu is a place; use 'someone from Chengdu' or 'a Chengdu resident'. 'As a people who live in Chengdu' is wrong: 'people' is plural; use 'person' or 'someone'. Also move 'actually' to natural position: 'I've actually never been...'. Suggestion: use singular nouns when referring to oneself ('person', 'resident') and place adverbs like 'actually' after auxiliary verbs.
