Walking— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Start with a direct, natural topic sentence, then add one concise reason with a linking word. Avoid sounding overly formal and keep to 1–3 sentences. Correct small grammatical issues (e.g., "I stay quite busy" → "I'm quite busy").

Example: Not really. I'm quite busy with a hectic schedule, so I rarely find time to walk. However, I try to fit short walks into my day when possible.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words (e.g., "because", "and"). Avoid repetition ("went outside" used twice) and keep sentence length moderate. Mention a specific activity to be more vivid.

Example: Yes, I often went for walks as a child with my parents or friends because we enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. For example, we would walk to the park to play games or feed ducks by the pond.

Suggestion: Give a clear and accurate topic sentence (use "walk" not "work"). Provide 2–3 specific reasons linked with connectors (e.g., "because", "for example"). Avoid incomplete phrases and vague endings. Use suitable vocabulary (e.g., "peaceful atmosphere", "green spaces").

Example: People like walking in parks because they offer a peaceful atmosphere and green spaces that help people relax. For example, parks often have shaded paths and playgrounds, which make them ideal for families and exercise.

Suggestion: Start with a concise topic sentence saying where and why. Use linking words to list 2–3 clear reasons and avoid repetition ("large" used twice). Keep to 2–3 sentences and correct minor grammar ("a long" → "a long walk").

Example: I'd choose the city park for a long walk because it has wide walking paths, many mature trees, and quiet areas to rest. In addition, there are playgrounds and ponds that make the route interesting.

Suggestion: Use past tense for "lately" or say "recently" with present perfect/simple present consistently. Begin with a clear sentence about where you went, then add one specific detail (with linking words). Correct word choice errors ("footpath" is fine, but "work there" is wrong — use "walk there"; avoid "gossip" in formal test — say "chat"). Keep to 2–3 sentences and be specific about time/duration.

Example: Lately I've been walking on the footpath near my house, usually with friends or neighbors. We walk for about ten minutes and chat while we go.

× Hardly ever. Instead I stay quite busy with my hectic schedule, which leaves no extra time at all.

✓ Hardly ever. Instead, I stay quite busy with my hectic schedule, which leaves no extra time at all.

Comma needed after 'Instead' for correct sentence flow; tense is present and correct. This sentence primarily needed punctuation rather than tense change. Suggestion: add a comma after introductory adverbs like 'Instead' to improve clarity.

× When I was a child, I often went outside to have a walk and I usually went outside with my parents or friends for enjoying the moment or did a lot of activities.

✓ When I was a child, I often went for walks and usually went outside with my parents or friends to enjoy the moment or do a lot of activities.

Problems: awkward verb phrase 'have a walk' (use 'go for a walk' or 'go for walks'), repetition 'went outside' redundant, and incorrect forms 'for enjoying' and 'did a lot of activities' after 'or'. Use infinitive 'to enjoy' and base verb 'do'. Maintain past tense 'went' and 'did/do' where appropriate. Suggestion: use parallel structures and correct verb forms after conjunctions.

× People prefer working in the parks for several reasons. For instance, people who work in the park for their peaceful atmosphere along with lush greenery, playground and also there are plenty of good.

✓ People prefer walking in parks for several reasons. For instance, people enjoy parks for their peaceful atmosphere, lush greenery, playgrounds, and other good facilities.

Errors: 'prefer working in the parks' is wrong verb and preposition; should be 'prefer walking in parks' or 'prefer parks'. 'who work in the park for their peaceful atmosphere' is incorrect structure; use 'enjoy parks for'. Pluralization 'playground' -> 'playgrounds'; sentence ending 'there are plenty of good' is incomplete. Suggestion: choose correct verb ('walk' or 'visit') and use 'for' to indicate reasons, ensure items in a list are parallel and complete.

× If I had the chance to walk for a long, I would choose the large City Park as it offers numerous aspects including a large walking path along with large trees and greenery, playground and also it offers peaceful atmosphere.

✓ If I had the chance to walk for a long time, I would choose the large City Park because it offers many features, including a long walking path, large trees and greenery, playgrounds, and a peaceful atmosphere.

Problems: 'walk for a long' should be 'walk for a long time'. 'numerous aspects' awkward; use 'many features'. Parallel list items need commas and plural nouns where appropriate ('playgrounds'). Missing article before 'peaceful atmosphere' -> 'a peaceful atmosphere'. Suggestion: use correct time expressions, maintain parallel structure in lists, and include articles where needed.

× Recently I usually go for a walk in the footpath which is near my house and I often go there with my friends or neighbors and I work there for around 10 minutes and we gossip there.

✓ Recently I have usually been going for a walk on the footpath near my house; I often go with my friends or neighbors, walk for around 10 minutes, and we gossip there.

Problems: 'Recently I usually go' mixes simple present with 'recently' which prefers present perfect continuous for habitual recent actions. Use 'have usually been going' or 'have been walking'. Preposition 'in the footpath' should be 'on the footpath'. 'I work there' is incorrect verb; use 'walk' or 'stay'. Suggestion: use present perfect continuous for recent repeated actions, choose correct prepositions ('on' for footpath), and maintain parallel verb forms in the list.
