Did you like going to parks as a child?
分數: 78.0建議: Your answer is clear and relevant and includes supporting details, but it is somewhat repetitive (repeating feelings and 'fun time') and slightly long. To improve, begin with a concise topic sentence, vary vocabulary, and use a linking word to connect details (for example, “for example” or “also”). Keep the response within 3–4 sentences to sound more natural.
範例: Yes — I loved going to parks as a child. For example, my parents and I would go cycling and have picnics there, and I remember enjoying the flowers and wide open spaces. Because of these visits I often went home feeling relaxed and happy.
Do you still like going to parks now?
分數: 85.0建議: Good concise response with a clear topic sentence and relevant specific example (last week). To improve further, add a linking phrase to show cause or frequency (for instance, “often” or “because”) and vary verbs and adjectives to avoid repetition of “enjoy” and “hang out.”
範例: Yes, I still enjoy parks now. Often after work I go there to drink coffee and relax, and last week I met a couple of friends there to catch up. I find the green space helps me unwind after a busy day.
Would you like to see more parks in your city?
分數: 80.0建議: Answer is relevant and gives reasons, but wording is slightly awkward (“enjoy scenic view”) and some repetition of previous points. Improve by giving a clearer, more specific reason and using linking words (e.g., “because,” “so”) and one concrete example of benefit to the community.
範例: Yes, I would like more parks because green spaces improve wellbeing and encourage socialising. For example, having more nearby parks would let people relax after work and provide places for friends and families to meet, which would make the city feel friendlier.
Are there any parks you want to go to in the future?
分數: 82.0建議: Clear and focused answer with specific preferences (pond, trees) and intended activities. To improve, tighten language (avoid repeating 'I'd like'), add a linking word to sequence ideas, and include a brief reason why those features appeal to you to add depth.
範例: I don't have a particular park in mind, but I prefer parks with ponds and many trees because they feel peaceful. For instance, I would spend an afternoon there alone, sipping coffee and watching people stroll, which helps me recharge.
× I usually went there with my parents and we would go biking, eating and enjoying a scenic view.
✓ I usually went there with my parents and we would go biking, eat and enjoy the scenic view.
The verbs in a coordinated list after 'would go' should be base forms or parallel in structure. Using 'eating' and 'enjoying' creates mixed verb forms. Use base forms 'eat' and 'enjoy' to maintain parallelism and correct verb form. Suggestion: Keep verbs in a list parallel (all base forms or all -ing forms) and use 'the scenic view' for specificity when referring to a particular scene.
× Whenever I'm off work I usually go there to have a cup of coffee and enjoy a scenic view.
✓ Whenever I'm off work I usually go there to have a cup of coffee and enjoy the scenic view.
When referring to a particular view associated with the park, use the definite article 'the'. 'A scenic view' is generic; context implies a specific view at the park, so 'the scenic view' is more natural. Suggestion: Use 'the' when the listener can identify the specific thing being referred to.
× Yes, I'd like to see more parks in this city because I enjoy scenic view.
✓ Yes, I'd like to see more parks in this city because I enjoy the scenic view.
'Scenic view' needs a determiner. Use 'the scenic view' to refer to the type of scenery experienced in parks. Alternatively, pluralize to 'scenic views' without an article. Suggestion: Use 'the scenic view' or 'scenic views' depending on whether you mean the general kind or multiple views.
× I'd like to enjoy my alone time there and watch the people walking around.
✓ I'd like to enjoy my alone time there and watch people walking around.
'The people walking around' is not incorrect grammatically, but omitting 'the' sounds more natural when referring to people in general. Verb forms are fine; this is an article/naturalness issue combined with verb phrase clarity. Suggestion: Use 'watch people walking around' for a more natural general statement.
× There is no specific park that I'd like to go to, however, I do like to go to a park where there is a pond and a lot of trees.
✓ There is no specific park that I'd like to go to; however, I do like to go to parks that have a pond and a lot of trees.
The original sentence mixes a singular 'a park' with a general preference; making it plural ('parks') or keeping singular with 'a park that has' is needed. Also, the clause before 'however' is an independent clause and should be connected with a semicolon or period, not a comma. Suggestion: Use a semicolon before 'however' or split into two sentences, and match singular/plural and article use to express general preferences.
