Did you like going to parks as a child?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: Your answer is too short and not specific. For Part 1 you should respond directly with a clear statement and then add one or two specific supporting details. Aim for 2–4 sentences, use linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "and") and concrete examples from your childhood.
Ví dụ: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child because there was a big playground where I could climb and swing. I often went there with my parents on weekends, and I remember playing football with other kids near the pond.
Do you still like going to parks now?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: This answer is noncommittal and gives no information. Choose a clear position (yes or no), then give reasons and one specific example. Use linking words like "however", "also", or "because" to connect ideas and keep it within 2–4 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks because they are peaceful and good for exercise. For example, I usually visit a nearby park twice a week to jog and relax under the trees.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: Avoid saying "I don't know". State your opinion and justify it with specific reasons and perhaps a suggestion. Use linking words such as "because", "so", or "for example" and keep your response concise and natural.
Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because they improve air quality and provide recreational spaces for families. For instance, new pocket parks near apartment blocks would give children safe places to play.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
Điểm: 10.0Gợi ý: Give a definite answer and mention a specific park or type of park you would like to visit, explaining why and when. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "so") and include a short personal detail to make your answer natural and specific.
Ví dụ: I would like to visit the new botanical garden that opened last year because I enjoy seeing different plants and taking photos. I hope to go there next month with a friend to explore the themed gardens and relax.
× I don't know
✓ I didn't know.
The Examiner asked about liking parks as a child, which is a past-time reference. The student replied with 'I don't know' (present tense), which does not match the past context. This is a tense mismatch and also makes the response irrelevant. Use past tense 'I didn't know' to indicate lack of knowledge about the past. Suggestion: match the tense of your answer to the question's time frame by using past tense verbs for past questions. Note: This correction assumes the student truly meant they were unsure about their childhood preference; if they meant uncertain now, a fuller response like 'I'm not sure' would be more natural.
× I don't know
✓ I don't know.
The Examiner asked whether the student still likes going to parks now, which requires a present-tense response. The original phrase 'I don't know' is grammatically correct for present-tense uncertainty and needs no change. Suggestion: if you want to provide a fuller answer, say 'I'm not sure' or 'I don't really know' to sound more natural.
× I don't know
✓ Yes, I would.
The Examiner asked 'Would you like to see more parks in your city?' This question uses the modal 'would' to ask about preference. Responding 'I don't know' is grammatical but does not directly answer the question. A grammatically aligned reply uses a modal as well, e.g., 'Yes, I would' (positive) or 'No, I wouldn't' (negative). Suggestion: match the modal structure of the question by using 'would' in your reply when expressing preference.
× I don't know
✓ Yes, there are some parks I'd like to visit in the future.
The Examiner asked 'Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?' which expects a future-oriented answer. 'I don't know' is present-tense uncertainty and does not address the future intent. A better reply uses future or intention phrasing: 'I'd like to visit...' or 'I want to go to...' Suggestion: use 'will' or 'would like to'/'want to' constructions to express future intentions clearly.
