Travelling— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make your answer more natural and grammatical by using a clear topic sentence and concise supporting details. Avoid tense confusion (use present simple for habitual actions) and fix word order: say “I usually look out of the window to see what people are doing and what’s happening.” Add one specific example and a linking phrase to expand briefly.

Example: I usually look out of the window when I travel by bus or car because I enjoy observing everyday life. For example, I like watching people walking in parks or market stalls passing by, which helps me relax and notice small details.

Suggestion: Keep your response direct and correct the tense and phrasing. Use a clear topic sentence followed by a linked reason and a brief example. Replace “I used to” with “I do” or “I will” when referring to present habits. For instance: “Not usually, but I take photos when the view is special, such as a dramatic sunset.”

Example: Not usually. However, if the view is unusual or beautiful—like a dramatic sunset or a mountain covered in mist—I will take a photo to remember it.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly, then give specific reasons and an example. Fix grammar: say “I prefer the mountains because I love hiking” and avoid vague phrases like “have a adventure in life” — instead give a concrete activity or feeling. Use a linking word to add detail.

Example: I prefer the mountains because I love hiking and being surrounded by nature. For example, I enjoy multi-day treks where I can camp, see panoramic views, and challenge myself physically.

× Yes, usually. I used to look around myself.

✓ Yes, usually. I look around at my surroundings.

The original uses 'used to' which implies a past habitual action, but the context is a current habit so present simple 'I look around' is correct. Also 'look around myself' is unnatural; use 'look around' or 'look around at my surroundings.' Use present simple for current habitual actions.

× What's going on? What's the people are doing?

✓ What's going on? What are the people doing?

The second question mixes two question forms causing ungrammatical structure. Correct word order for present continuous questions is auxiliary + subject + verb: 'What are the people doing?'. Keep 'What's going on?' as a separate, correct question.

× No, usually not, but it's when it's something special.

✓ No, usually not, but I do when it's something special.

The original 'it's when it's something special' is unclear and ungrammatical here. The speaker intends to say they take photos on special occasions; use 'I do when it's something special' or 'I take photos when it's something special.' Use present simple for habitual actions and the pronoun 'I' to make the sentence complete.

× I used to capture it as a memory.

✓ I capture it as a memory.

'Used to capture' suggests a past habit no longer occurring. The question asks about current behaviour, so present simple 'I capture it' or 'I take a photo to keep it as a memory' is appropriate. Also 'capture it as a memory' is slightly awkward; 'take a photo to keep it as a memory' is more natural.

× I always prefer the mountains because I love hiking.

✓ I always prefer the mountains because I love hiking.

This sentence is correct; no article change needed. It uses present simple appropriately and 'the mountains' is acceptable when speaking generally about mountain areas.

× I love to have a adventure in life.

✓ I love to have an adventure in life.

The indefinite article before a noun starting with a vowel sound must be 'an' not 'a.' Replace 'a' with 'an' to form 'an adventure.' The rest of the sentence is fine; alternatively, 'I love having adventures in life' would also be natural.
