Part 1
考官
Do you walk a lot?
考生
Not really. Recently I have spent most of my time at home so I didn't have many chances to walk. But when I go to the gym for exercise I would always fast walk on the treadmill for 30 to 40 minutes. That would be approximately 5000 to 6000 steps.
考官
Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?
考生
Yes. When I was a child, my parents had this habit of going on a 40 minute to an hour's walk after every day's dinner because they believed such mild exercise would help them digest their food better and help their body feel healthier and lighter. So we would always going on a walk every day.
考官
Why do people like to walk in parks?
考生
I think it's mostly because such activities help people relax. There was a very popular phrase on Chinese Internet the effect of twen staying 20 minutes in a park. This phrase went viral on social media because many young white collars choose to spend 20 minutes in a park in their lunch breaks because it helped them feel relaxed.
考官
Where would you like to take a long walk if you had the chance?
考生
I'd like to take a long walk or even go trekking along the coastline. In fact, this April I went on a 100K MKM challenge on only trail with my mom in Jeju Island and we accomplished this challenge within seven days and we walked an average of 18K.

Do you walk a lot?
分數: 78.0建議: Your answer is clear and relevant, but a bit long and contains some grammar slips (tense consistency, article use). Make your response more concise (max 4–5 sentences) and correct small errors: use present perfect or present simple consistently and avoid unnecessary repetition. Add a brief linking phrase to improve coherence.
範例: I don't walk a lot at the moment because I have been spending most of my time at home. However, when I exercise at the gym I usually fast-walk on the treadmill for 30–40 minutes, which is about 5,000–6,000 steps. This keeps me active even when I can't go outside.

× 'Not really. Recently I have spent most of my time at home so I didn't have many chances to walk.'
✓ 'Not really. Recently I have spent most of my time at home, so I haven't had many chances to walk.'
'Past tense issue (ID 5) and present perfect usage: The original mixes present perfect (have spent) with simple past (didn't have) which creates a tense inconsistency. Because 'recently' and 'have spent' indicate a period continuing to the present, the clause about not having chances should use present perfect: 'haven't had'. Also add a comma before 'so' to join the clauses.'},{
× 'But when I go to the gym for exercise I would always fast walk on the treadmill for 30 to 40 minutes.'
✓ 'But when I go to the gym for exercise I always walk quickly on the treadmill for 30 to 40 minutes.'
'Subject-verb agreement / modal usage (ID 27 and 4): The use of 'would always fast walk' is unnatural and mixes conditional/modal 'would' with a habitual present action. Use simple present 'I always walk' for habitual actions. 'Fast walk' is not idiomatic; use 'walk quickly' or 'briskly.' This corrects verb form and adverb placement.'},{
× 'That would be approximately 5000 to 6000 steps.'
✓ 'That is approximately 5,000 to 6,000 steps.'
'Singular and plural issue (ID 1): While numbers themselves are fine, use present tense 'is' to state an approximate current value for a habitual action rather than conditional 'would be.' Also format numbers with commas for clarity (optional).'
× 'Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?'
✓ 'Did you often go outside to take a walk when you were a child?'
'Past tense issue (ID 5): The original uses 'have a walk', which is nonstandard in this context. The correct collocation in past tense is 'take a walk.' The question uses past simple correctly; only the verb collocation needed correction.'},{
× 'When I was a child, my parents had this habit of going on a 40 minute to an hour's walk after every day's dinner because they believed such mild exercise would help them digest their food better and help their body feel healthier and lighter.'
✓ 'When I was a child, my parents had the habit of going on a 40-minute to an hour-long walk after dinner because they believed such mild exercise would help them digest their food better and help their bodies feel healthier and lighter.'
'Past tense issue (ID 5) and plural agreement (ID 1): Use past tense 'had' correctly. Adjust noun phrases and modifiers: '40 minute to an hour's walk' is awkward—use '40-minute to an hour-long walk.' 'After every day's dinner' is wordy; 'after dinner' is natural. 'Their body' should be pluralized to 'their bodies' to match plural subject.'},{
× 'So we would always going on a walk every day.'
✓ 'So we would always go on a walk every day.'
'Verb + -ing form (ID 8): After modal 'would' use base verb 'go', not the -ing form 'going.' This corrects verb form after modal.'},{
× 'I think it's mostly because such activities help people relax.'
✓ 'I think it's mostly because these activities help people relax.'
'Sentence structure errors (ID 26): 'Such activities' is grammatical but 'these activities' sounds more natural when referring to walking in parks; this is a stylistic improvement rather than strict grammar, but it clarifies reference.'},{
× 'There was a very popular phrase on Chinese Internet the effect of twen staying 20 minutes in a park.'
✓ 'There was a very popular phrase on the Chinese Internet about the effect of staying 20 minutes in a park.'
'Sentence structure errors (ID 26) and incorrect word use: The original is ungrammatical and missing prepositions/articles. Insert 'the' before 'Chinese Internet' and 'about' to introduce the phrase. Remove the unclear word 'twen.' Use 'staying' correctly as a gerund following 'effect of.' '
× 'This phrase went viral on social media because many young white collars choose to spend 20 minutes in a park in their lunch breaks because it helped them feel relaxed.'
✓ 'This phrase went viral on social media because many young white-collar workers chose to spend 20 minutes in a park during their lunch breaks because it helped them feel relaxed.'
'Subject-verb agreement / tense (ID 27 and 5) and word choice: 'white collars' is incorrect; use 'white-collar workers.' The sentence mixes past 'went viral' with present 'choose'; make it consistent in past: 'chose.' Also use 'during their lunch breaks' for idiomatic preposition.'},{
× 'I'd like to take a long walk or even go trekking along the coastline.'
✓ 'I'd like to take a long walk or even go trekking along the coastline.'

✓ 'In fact, this April I went on a 100K MKM challenge on an only-trail route with my mom on Jeju Island, and we completed the challenge within seven days, walking an average of 18K per day.'
'Past tense issue (ID 5) and preposition/article errors (ID 11 and 22): Use past tense verbs consistently: 'went' and 'completed.' Insert article 'an' before 'only-trail' and use preposition 'on Jeju Island.' 'Accomplished this challenge' is wordy—'completed the challenge' is more natural. Clarify '18K' as '18K per day' if intended. Hyphenate compound modifiers.'},{
× 'Recently, I took several walks along the Huangpu River in the parks near the subway station of Oriental Sports Center.'
✓ 'Recently, I have taken several walks along the Huangpu River in the parks near the Oriental Sports Center subway station.'
'Present tense issue (ID 6): 'Recently' pairs better with present perfect 'have taken' to indicate recent activity. Also reorder 'Oriental Sports Center subway station' for natural word order.'},{
× 'I went there several times and, uh, mostly I visited the parks in the late afternoon so I could enjoy a full sunset.'
✓ 'I have been there several times and mostly I visit the parks in the late afternoon so I can enjoy the full sunset.'
'Present tense issue (ID 6) and tense consistency: Maintain present perfect or present for habitual actions. 'Went' and 'visited' in past simple conflict with 'recently'—use present perfect 'have been' and present simple 'visit' for habitual timing. Change 'could' to 'can' to reflect general ability.'}]}planation: 'This field is intentionally left blank' }]}]}{
