Part 1
考官
Did you like going to parks as a child?
考生
Yes, I love going to the park. I remember we used to always go to the park almost every day and I would always practice riding my bike. Apart from that, I would meet new people to play around with, so it helps me to communicate and enjoy my leisure time.
考官
Do you still like going to parks now?
考生
Right now, yes I do. I would always take my dog for a walk around the subdivision that I lived in and we would often go at the park and enjoy some peaceful time. For example, we would go to the swing or just sit by the bench.
考官
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
考生
Yes, because every now and then people should visit the park to unwind and relax their mind from the busy and hectic life in the city, such as going out with their family on picnics at the park or just enjoying the air.
考官
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
考生
Since the only parks that I've ever really visited was the one where we used to live in Dubai and here in the Philippines, and since I love to travel, I would love to see the difference between the parks from other countries and analyze how their people navigate through it and enjoy their time.
Did you like going to parks as a child?
分数: 78.0建议: Be slightly more concise and use past-tense consistently. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail and a brief reason. Use a linking word to connect ideas (for example, "also" or "because"). Avoid repeating words like "always".
示例: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. We went almost every day, and I practised riding my bike there, which helped me gain confidence. Also, I met other children to play with, so it was great for making friends.
Do you still like going to parks now?
分数: 74.0建议: Use present simple to describe current habits and avoid conditional-like 'would' which can be confusing. Keep the answer to 2–3 sentences, include a linking word (e.g., "because" or "for example") and one specific detail about frequency or activity.
示例: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks. I often take my dog for a walk around the neighbourhood and we usually stop at the park to relax on a bench or use the swings, because it helps me unwind.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
分数: 80.0建议: Give a direct topic sentence and one concise, specific reason with an example. Avoid vague phrases like "every now and then" and wordy constructions. Use a linking word like "for example" or "so" to connect reason and example.
示例: Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city. They provide a peaceful escape from busy urban life, for example places where families can have picnics or people can exercise outdoors.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
分数: 76.0建议: Be more concise and use correct tense/agreement. Start with a clear statement about your interest, then give one specific aim (e.g., observe design, activities, or culture). Avoid complex phrasing like 'analyze how their people navigate through it'—say 'see how people use them' instead.
示例: Yes, I would like to visit parks abroad, especially in Europe or Japan. I want to compare their design and watch how local people use the spaces, such as group exercises, markets, or family gatherings.
× Yes, I love going to the park.
✓ Yes, I loved going to the park.
The question asks about childhood (past). The student uses present tense 'love' which conflicts with the past time frame. Use past tense 'loved' to match 'as a child'. Suggestion: change present verbs to past when describing past habits or preferences.
× I remember we used to always go to the park almost every day and I would always practice riding my bike.
✓ I remember we used to go to the park almost every day and I would practice riding my bike.
Redundant adverbs 'used to' and 'always' together create awkwardness; not a grammar category in list except past tense. Also 'used to' and 'would' both indicate habitual past so using both 'always' is unnecessary. Suggestion: remove extra 'always' to make sentence concise and clearly habitual in past.
× Apart from that, I would meet new people to play around with, so it helps me to communicate and enjoy my leisure time.
✓ Apart from that, I would meet new people to play with, so it helped me to communicate and enjoy my leisure time.
Mixing past habitual 'would meet' with present 'helps' mismatches tense. Use past 'helped' to maintain past timeframe. Also 'play around with' is informal; 'play with' is clearer. Suggestion: keep consistent past tense when referring to childhood activities.
× Right now, yes I do.
✓ Right now, yes, I do.
This sentence is acceptable but needs a comma after 'yes' for clarity; however it's classified under present tense usage which is correct because the question asks about current preference. Suggestion: add comma for natural speech punctuation. Note: no tense change needed.
× I would always take my dog for a walk around the subdivision that I lived in and we would often go at the park and enjoy some peaceful time.
✓ I always took my dog for a walk around the subdivision where I lived, and we would often go to the park and enjoy some peaceful time.
Change 'would always take' to simple past 'always took' for clarity; 'that I lived in' is better as 'where I lived' (relative clause). Preposition 'go at the park' is incorrect; use 'go to the park'. Suggestion: use 'to' with 'go' and prefer 'where' for location clauses.
× For example, we would go to the swing or just sit by the bench.
✓ For example, we would go on the swings or just sit on the bench.
Use plural 'swings' or 'go on the swing(s)'; common collocation is 'go on the swings'. Preposition 'sit by the bench' implies beside it; 'sit on the bench' is likely intended. Suggestion: choose correct prepositions 'on' for benches and swings.
× Yes, because every now and then people should visit the park to unwind and relax their mind from the busy and hectic life in the city, such as going out with their family on picnics at the park or just enjoying the air.
✓ Yes, because people should visit the park now and then to unwind and relax their minds from the busy, hectic city life, for example by going on picnics with their family or simply enjoying the fresh air.
'Every now and then' placement is awkward; 'now and then' is smoother. 'Relax their mind' should be 'relax their minds' (plural agreement with 'people'). 'Busy and hectic life in the city' reordered to 'busy, hectic city life'. 'Going out with their family on picnics at the park or just enjoying the air' improved to 'going on picnics with their family or simply enjoying the fresh air' for natural collocation. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb/pronoun agreement and natural phrasing.
× Since the only parks that I've ever really visited was the one where we used to live in Dubai and here in the Philippines, and since I love to travel, I would love to see the difference between the parks from other countries and analyze how their people navigate through it and enjoy their time.
✓ Since the only parks that I've ever really visited were the ones near where we used to live in Dubai and here in the Philippines, and since I love to travel, I would love to see the differences between parks in other countries and analyze how people there use them and enjoy their time.
Subject-verb agreement error: 'parks ... was' should be 'parks ... were'. Also 'the one where we used to live in Dubai and here in the Philippines' is unclear; better 'the ones near where we used to live in Dubai and in the Philippines'. 'Parks from other countries' is better as 'parks in other countries'. 'Their people' is awkward; use 'people there'. 'Navigate through it' is unnatural for parks; 'use them' or 'enjoy them' is clearer. Suggestion: ensure plural subjects match plural verbs and use clearer prepositions and pronouns.
