Did you like going to parks as a child?
Thí sinh
No not really because when I was a kid there weren't any parks near my house which made me quite sad because I couldn't go out and play with my friends outdoor. If someone recommends me now I would very love to go there to have.

Do you still like going to parks now?
Thí sinh
Yeah, I absolutely do. I enjoy going through parks. My neighborhood has developed a lot and uh, well maintained parks nearby, so I often walk there to have some quality time with myself and also I have picnic sometimes with my friends.

Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?

No, not at this moment, but if someone recommended a park I'd definitely like to check it out because I enjoy green spaces and outdoor walking trails. I especially like a park with a Big Lake and good picnic spots.
Did you like going to parks as a child?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Fix tense and word choice (e.g. "outdoor" → "outdoors", "If someone recommends me" → "If someone recommended one to me"). Avoid redundancy and keep to 2–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: Not really. When I was a child there were no parks near my house, so I couldn't go out and play with my friends. If someone recommended a park now, I would be happy to visit.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: Organize your answer: give a clear topic sentence, then two specific supporting details linked smoothly. Reduce hesitations ("uh") and correct small grammar issues ("have picnic" → "have picnics"). Use linking words like "because" or "and" to connect reasons.
Ví dụ: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks. My neighborhood has improved and now there are well-maintained parks nearby, so I often walk there for some quiet time and sometimes have picnics with friends.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Điểm: 85.0Gợi ý: Good response—clear and specific. To improve, vary your vocabulary (use "beneficial" or "valuable") and add a brief reason why parks are valuable for the community (health, environment). Keep sentences concise and cohesive with linking words like "because" and "for example."
Ví dụ: Yes, I would. More parks would make leisure time more enjoyable and benefit the community by encouraging exercise and outdoor socializing. For example, a nearby quality park would be perfect for weekend walks with friends or picnics with family.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Điểm: 80.0Gợi ý: Answer directly, then add one or two specific preferences. Avoid starting with a negative if you then say you'd go—better to say you have no particular park in mind but would visit recommendations. Use consistent capitalization and precise wording ("big lake" not "Big Lake").
Ví dụ: I don't have a particular park in mind at the moment, but I would definitely visit any decent recommendation because I enjoy green spaces and walking trails. I especially like parks with a big lake and good picnic areas.
× No not really because when I was a kid there weren't any parks near my house which made me quite sad because I couldn't go out and play with my friends outdoor.
✓ No, not really, because when I was a kid there weren't any parks near my house, which made me quite sad because I couldn't go out and play with my friends outdoors.
Used 'outdoor' (adjective) incorrectly instead of the adverb 'outdoors' to indicate location. Also add commas for clarity. Suggestion: use 'outdoors' when describing where an action takes place and punctuate dependent clauses with commas.
× If someone recommends me now I would very love to go there to have.
✓ If someone recommends a park to me now, I would love to go there.
Incorrect verb pattern and awkward phrasing. 'Recommend me' should be 'recommend a park to me' and 'would very love' is ungrammatical; use 'would love'. Also 'to have' is unnecessary and unclear. Suggestion: use correct object construction after 'recommend' and the modal 'would' + base verb 'love'.
× I enjoy going through parks.
✓ I enjoy going to parks.
'Go through' implies passing across rather than visiting for leisure. The correct preposition for visiting places is 'to'. Suggestion: use 'go to' or 'visit' when referring to going to parks for enjoyment.
× My neighborhood has developed a lot and uh, well maintained parks nearby, so I often walk there to have some quality time with myself and also I have picnic sometimes with my friends.
✓ My neighborhood has developed a lot and has well-maintained parks nearby, so I often walk there to have some quality time alone, and I sometimes have picnics with my friends.
Sentence had missing verb 'has' before 'well-maintained parks' and incorrect adjective form 'well maintained' needed hyphen when before noun. Phrase 'quality time with myself' is unnatural; use 'alone'. 'Have picnic sometimes' word order incorrect; use 'sometimes have picnics'. Suggestion: include necessary auxiliary verbs, correct modifier placement, and use natural collocations.
× I'd love to have more parks in my area because they would make my free time more enjoyable and pleasant.
✓ I'd love to have more parks in my area because they would make my free time more enjoyable and pleasant.
No grammatical change needed; sentence is correct. Marked here to indicate checked: present participle form not required. Explanation: sentence structure and verb forms are appropriate; no correction necessary.
× I especially like a park with a Big Lake and good picnic spots.
✓ I especially like a park with a big lake and good picnic spots.
Incorrect capitalization of 'Big Lake' and unnecessary definite/indefinite article nuances. 'Big lake' should be lowercase unless it's a proper noun. Suggestion: use lowercase for common nouns and keep 'a park with a big lake' for a general description.
× If someone recommended a park I'd definitely like to check it out because I enjoy green spaces and outdoor walking trails.
✓ If someone recommends a park, I'd definitely like to check it out because I enjoy green spaces and outdoor walking trails.
Tense mismatch: conditional referring to present possibility should use present simple 'recommends' in the if-clause for the first conditional with 'would' in the main clause. Suggestion: use 'If someone recommends..., I would/I'll...'. Here 'I'd' is acceptable as 'I would' for a hypothetical present; adjust if-clause to present simple.
