Part 1
考官
Did you like going to parks as a child?
考生
I would say I was somewhat obsessed with going to parks when I was a child at some point because I liked playing on the slides and swings and also just running around and playing with other children.
考官
Do you still like going to parks now?
考生
Yes, I like going to parks from time time but my reasons have changed as I don't play in parks anymore. I like going to parks for a leisure walk or sitting on a bench and chatting, chat, chatting with friends because there is not anything else for me to do.
考官
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
考生
I wouldn't want more parks. I believe my city has ample green areas. So the authorities, uh, should umm, focus on maintaining existing models and improving them by adding better paths or more seating?
考官
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
考生
There is one park that I love to visit and we are, we have all seen it in American movies a lot, and it's Central Park in New York City. I would just love to amble through the green areas in that park. And it's a really big park. It's like a small city or village.
Did you like going to parks as a child?
分數: 78.0建議: Be more concise and avoid contradictory phrasing (e.g., "somewhat obsessed" and "at some point"). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words to connect ideas and keep sentences natural and varied.
範例: Yes, I loved going to parks as a child. I spent hours on the slides and swings, and I enjoyed running around and playing football with neighborhood children, which helped me make friends and stay active.
Do you still like going to parks now?
分數: 70.0建議: Avoid repetition ("chat, chat, chatting") and unclear reasons ("there is not anything else for me to do"). Provide a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific reasons with linking words (e.g., "because", "so"). Keep to 3–4 sentences max.
範例: Yes, I still enjoy going to parks occasionally. Now I usually go for a leisurely walk or to sit and talk with friends because it is a quiet, pleasant place to relax after work.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
分數: 66.0建議: Remove fillers ("uh, umm") and avoid ending with a question mark if making a statement. Give a clear opinion first, then specific suggestions for improvement using linking words (e.g., "instead", "for example").
範例: I wouldn't want more parks; instead, I think authorities should improve the existing ones. For example, they could repair paths, add more benches and lighting, and maintain playground equipment so parks are safer and more attractive.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
分數: 72.0建議: Avoid wordiness and repetition ("we are, we have all seen"). Start with a direct topic sentence naming the park, then give 1–2 vivid, specific reasons using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example").
範例: Yes — Central Park in New York is the park I most want to visit because I've seen it in films and read about its many attractions. I would love to stroll along its tree-lined paths, visit the lakes and open lawns, and experience the lively atmosphere there.
× I would say I was somewhat obsessed with going to parks when I was a child at some point because I liked playing on the slides and swings and also just running around and playing with other children.
✓ I would say I was somewhat obsessed with going to parks when I was a child because I liked playing on the slides and swings and also just running around and playing with other children.
The original sentence includes the redundant phrase 'at some point' which is unnecessary and disrupts fluency; this is a sentence structure issue involving gerunds used correctly. Removing the redundancy improves clarity and maintains correct use of verb+ -ing forms (going, playing, running). Suggestion: omit unnecessary adverbial phrases when they don't add meaning.
× Yes, I like going to parks from time time but my reasons have changed as I don't play in parks anymore.
✓ Yes, I like going to parks from time to time, but my reasons have changed, as I don't play in parks anymore.
Typo and punctuation issues: 'from time time' should be 'from time to time'. Commas are needed to separate clauses for readability. Tense usage (present simple) is correct for habitual actions. Suggestion: proofread for repeated words and add commas before conjunctions joining independent clauses.
× I like going to parks for a leisure walk or sitting on a bench and chatting, chat, chatting with friends because there is not anything else for me to do.
✓ I like going to parks for a leisurely walk or to sit on a bench and chat with friends because there is nothing else for me to do.
Errors: incorrect adjective 'a leisure walk' should be adverbial adjective 'a leisurely walk'; inconsistent verb forms 'sitting' vs 'to sit' and redundant stutter 'chat, chatting' should be 'chat'. Also 'there is not anything' is awkward; use 'there is nothing'. Use parallel verb forms (to sit and chat) and correct adjective form. Suggestion: use parallel structures and correct adjective/adverb forms.
× I wouldn't want more parks. I believe my city has ample green areas. So the authorities, uh, should umm, focus on maintaining existing models and improving them by adding better paths or more seating?
✓ I wouldn't want more parks. I believe my city has ample green areas, so the authorities should focus on maintaining existing parks and improving them by adding better paths and more seating.
Problems: filler words 'uh, umm' and incorrect noun 'models' should be 'parks'. The sentence is a statement but ended with a question mark; change to a period. 'Or' implies choice but 'and' is better when both improvements are intended. Modal 'should' is used correctly. Suggestion: remove fillers, use precise nouns, and choose correct coordinating conjunction.
× There is one park that I love to visit and we are, we have all seen it in American movies a lot, and it's Central Park in New York City.
✓ There is one park that I would love to visit; we have all seen it in American movies a lot, and it's Central Park in New York City.
Tense and phrasing: 'I love to visit' suggests present habitual, but context asks about future desire—'I would love to visit' fits better. Remove the broken repetition 'we are, we have' and use a semicolon or comma to join ideas. 'There is one park' is fine as existential 'there' construction. Suggestion: match modal tense to question about future desire and remove redundant fragments.
× I would just love to amble through the green areas in that park.
✓ I would love to amble through the green areas in that park.
Minor redundancy: 'just' is optional and can be omitted for conciseness. The conditional/modal 'would' correctly expresses desire for the future. Suggestion: remove unnecessary filler words to make the sentence clearer.
× And it's a really big park. It's like a small city or village.
✓ It's a really big park; it's almost like a small city or village.
Stylistic improvement: original sentences are grammatically acceptable but can be linked and smoothed. Adding 'almost' clarifies it's a comparison, and using a semicolon or conjunction connects the ideas. Suggestion: combine short sentences for better flow and use comparison words to clarify meaning.
