Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the answer more natural and concise: use present tense consistently, correct vocabulary and grammar, avoid repetition, and add one or two supporting details with a linking word. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I walk a lot — about 2,000 steps every day because I work as a cleaning supervisor at Loblaws. In this role I walk around the whole store to check and do cleaning where it’s needed. As a result, I get plenty of daily exercise without planning extra walks.

Suggestion: Use clearer past-tense phrasing, reduce hesitations, and provide a specific detail to make the answer more vivid. Use a linking word to connect ideas.

Example: Yes, I did. When I was young I often went on evening walks with my mother, and several neighbors — mostly other women — joined us at the park. It was a relaxing routine that helped us talk about our day.

Suggestion: Be direct and specific: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two concrete reasons with linking words. Avoid vague phrases and repetition, and correct grammar.

Example: People like to walk in parks because the environment is peaceful and green, which helps reduce stress. In addition, parks offer safe paths and fresh air for exercise, so many choose them for walking or jogging.

Suggestion: Organize into a clear topic sentence and supporting details; correct tense consistency and use one linking phrase to explain why you would choose that place. Keep it natural and concise.

Example: I would like to take a long walk in Niku Park in my hometown in India, which is a large park in the city center. I’d go with my husband because we could explore the grounds together and have a long, relaxed conversation about our daily lives.

Suggestion: Use correct past-tense forms and remove hesitations. Be concise and give one or two specific details (place, activity, feeling) using linking words to connect them.

Example: Last weekend I went for a walk with my husband while it was snowing. Although he was initially reluctant, we decided to go and enjoyed the peaceful, snowy morning together.

× Yes, I walked about 2000 steps daily.

✓ Yes, I walk about 2000 steps daily.

The question 'Do you walk a lot?' asks about current habitual action, so use the present simple 'walk' instead of past 'walked'. Use present tense for regular routines. Suggestion: Use present simple for habits (I walk, he eats).

× It is because of my position in as a cleaning supervisor at Loblaws.

✓ It is because of my position as a cleaning supervisor at Loblaws.

The phrase 'in as' is incorrect; use the preposition 'as' to indicate role. Remove the extra 'in'. Suggestion: Use 'as' when stating a role: 'I work as a teacher.'

× In this position I have to walk through the whole store and devout wherever cleaning needed.

✓ In this position I have to walk through the whole store and clean wherever cleaning is needed.

'Devout' is the wrong word; likely intended 'do' or 'clean'. Also 'wherever cleaning needed' lacks auxiliary verb 'is'. The verb 'clean' fits the context and requires 'is' to form passive-like clause. Suggestion: Use accurate verbs and include auxiliary verbs when needed: 'clean wherever cleaning is needed.'

× That was the reason that's the main reason why I walk.

✓ That is the main reason why I walk.

Mixed past and present tenses ('was' and 'walk') cause inconsistency. Also redundant phrasing 'that was the reason that's the main reason' should be simplified. Use present 'is' to match present habit. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent and avoid redundancy: 'That is the main reason I walk.'

× Yes, I remembered that when I was younger, I used to go for, uh, the evening walk with my mother.

✓ Yes, I remember that when I was younger, I used to go for evening walks with my mother.

'Remembered' is past; use present 'remember' when recalling a memory. 'Used to' indicates past habitual action so keep it; make 'walk' plural as a habitual activity and remove unnecessary filler commas. Suggestion: Say 'I remember' for recollection and pluralize habitual nouns: 'evening walks.'

× There were another neighborhood, ladies joined our park and I also, uh, found that was a relaxing time.

✓ There were other neighborhood ladies who joined us at the park, and I also found that it was a relaxing time.

Use 'other' not 'another' for plural 'ladies'. 'Joined our park' is incorrect: people join us at the park. Add relative pronoun 'who' and pronoun 'it' for 'that it was'. Also change word order for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'other' with plural nouns and proper prepositions: 'joined us at the park.'

× There are several reasons behind this statement.

✓ There are several reasons for this.

'Behind this statement' is wordy and slightly awkward. Use 'for this' to refer back to the question. Article use is fine but expression improved for naturalness. Suggestion: Prefer natural collocations: 'reasons for this.'

× I believe that majority of individuals love to explore outdoor activities such as walking, running and taking rides.

✓ I believe that the majority of people love to take part in outdoor activities such as walking, running, and riding.

Use the article 'the' with 'majority'. 'Individuals' is formal; 'people' fits spoken style. 'Taking rides' is awkward; use 'riding' or 'bike riding'. Parallelism: 'walking, running, and riding.' Suggestion: Use 'the majority' and parallel verb forms in lists.

× I believe that to reduce their daily stress and and find they prefer to walk in parks, they are quiet.

✓ I believe that to reduce daily stress, many people prefer to walk in parks because parks are quiet and relaxing.

Original sentence is ungrammatical and repetitive ('and and', 'find they prefer'). Reorder to show cause and effect: people prefer parks to reduce stress because parks are quiet. Suggestion: State cause and effect clearly: 'people prefer X because Y.'

× I would love to go on a walk to this place with my husband.

✓ I would love to go for a walk there with my husband.

Use the common collocation 'go for a walk' and 'there' to refer to the place. 'Go on a walk to this place' is grammatical but less natural. Suggestion: Use natural phrases: 'go for a walk there.'

× I would definitely explore new things and we will chat together about our daily life.

✓ I would definitely explore new things and we would chat together about our daily lives.

In a hypothetical 'If I had the chance' context, use conditional 'would' consistently rather than mixing 'would' and 'will'. Also pluralize 'lives' since two people have daily lives. Suggestion: Keep conditional forms parallel: 'I would... and we would...' and pluralize where appropriate.

× I went on a walk with my husband last weekend.

✓ I went for a walk with my husband last weekend.

Use the collocation 'go for a walk' in past tense. 'Went on a walk' is understandable but less natural. Suggestion: Use natural verb-preposition combinations: 'went for a walk.'

× It was snowing and uh, we loved to be there in, uh, in the snow.

✓ It was snowing and we loved being in the snow there.

Avoid 'loved to be there in the snow' redundancy and awkward preposition placement. 'Loved being in the snow' is more natural; place 'there' after 'snow' or omit if unnecessary. Suggestion: Use gerund after 'loved' for activities: 'loved being'.

× I was planned this, uh, walk because my husband wasn't ready at all.

✓ I had planned this walk because my husband wasn't ready at all.

'Was planned' is passive or incorrect for intended meaning. Use past perfect 'had planned' to indicate the planning occurred before the walk. Keep 'wasn't ready' in past simple. Suggestion: Use past perfect to show actions completed before a past reference: 'I had planned.'

× It was a very pleasant, uh, morning that day.

✓ It was a very pleasant morning that day.

Remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary comma. The sentence is otherwise correct; just needs cleanup for fluency. Suggestion: Omit fillers and extra punctuation for clearer speech.
