Walking— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, give one reason and a brief example. Avoid filler words and repetition. Improve sentence structure and verb forms (e.g. ‘I use walking as exercise after work’).

Ejemplo: Yes, I walk a lot, mostly in the evenings as a form of exercise. It helps me relax after work and keeps me active; for example, I usually walk for 30 minutes around my neighbourhood four times a week.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear topic sentence then one or two specific details. Reduce hesitation sounds and correct grammar (e.g. ‘went for walks’). Use linking words like ‘because’ or ‘so’ to connect ideas naturally.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I often went for walks in the evenings with friends because we liked exploring the village and chatting; those walks were a fun way to get fresh air and relax after school.

Sugerencia: Start with a direct answer and give two clear reasons with concise linking. Avoid vague phrases like ‘and so on’ and repeat words. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g. ‘scenery’ and ‘peaceful atmosphere’).

Ejemplo: People like walking in parks mainly because they are safe and peaceful, with little traffic. Also, parks offer fresh air and pleasant scenery, such as trees and ponds, which makes walks more enjoyable.

Sugerencia: Answer clearly using a topic sentence, then add a specific reason and one short detail. Fix repetition and incomplete sentences. Name a specific city and describe what you would do there briefly.

Ejemplo: I would like to take a long walk in Seoul, South Korea, because I am fascinated by its mix of modern streets and traditional neighbourhoods. I would wake up early to stroll along the Han River and explore historic areas like Bukchon Hanok Village.

Sugerencia: Use past tense for ‘lately’ and make a clear topic sentence. Give one specific detail about the route or environment and avoid repetition. Keep it concise and natural.

Ejemplo: Lately I went for walks in my local community park after work. The route has tree-lined paths and a small pond, which gives me fresh air and helps me unwind.

× Of course I do. I like to walk a lot in the evening as the exercise after work.

✓ Of course I do. I like to walk a lot in the evening as exercise after work.

Use of the definite article 'the' before 'exercise' is unnecessary here. 'Exercise' in this context is an uncountable noun referring to activity in general, so drop 'the'. Suggestion: say 'as exercise' or 'for exercise'.

× It's really good because I allow my body to move and we should like get to move our bodies sometime after work.

✓ It's really good because I allow my body to move and we should get to move our bodies sometime after work.

The phrase 'should like get to' mixes 'should' and 'like' incorrectly. Remove 'like' to make the modal phrase correct: 'we should get to'. Also 'allow my body to move' is grammatical but sounds odd; alternatives: 'let my body move' or 'get my body moving'.

× Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?

✓ Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?

This sentence is grammatically correct. No change required. (Included here to indicate no error of the listed types.)

× I usually went for walk in the evening as I do right now because I really enjoy, uh, walking, uh, around, uh, the village with my friend at that time to have fun.

✓ I usually went for a walk in the evening as I do now because I really enjoy walking around the village with my friend at that time to have fun.

'For walk' is missing the indefinite article 'a' — correct is 'for a walk'. 'As I do right now' is wordy; 'as I do now' is clearer. Remove filler 'uh' and extra commas. 'At that time' is acceptable but can be left or removed; kept here for meaning.

× I guess the reason why people like to walk in the park because in the park is very safe, there's no traffic, so they also can get the fresh air in the park and also get to see the view of the park like scenery and people and so on.

✓ I guess the reason why people like to walk in the park is that it is very safe, there's no traffic, so they can get fresh air and see the scenery and people.

Sentence structure error: using both 'the reason why... because' is redundant. Use 'the reason... is that'. Also awkward repetition of 'in the park' and 'get the fresh air' — simplify to 'get fresh air'. 'Like scenery and people' is informal and unclear; use 'see the scenery and people'.

× If I've got the chance to take a long walk, the place I would like to walk would be the city in South Korea.

✓ If I got the chance to take a long walk, the place I would like to walk would be a city in South Korea.

Mixing conditional forms: 'If I've got the chance' (present perfect) with 'would' is inconsistent. Use the second conditional: 'If I got the chance' + 'I would'. Also 'the city in South Korea' is vague; use 'a city in South Korea' or name the city. If referring to one specific dream city, use its name or 'that city'.

× That's That city has always been my dream city, so I would get up really early to go for a long walk along the way on the.

✓ That city has always been my dream city, so I would get up really early to go for a long walk along the waterfront.

The original repeats 'That' and ends abruptly 'on the.' Remove duplicated word. 'Along the way on the' is incomplete; replace with a complete phrase appropriate to context (example: 'along the waterfront' or 'along the streets'). Ensure sentence finishes with a clear object.

× Uh, lately I go for a walk along the way in my community so I can get to see the view and the environment is also really good for me to get some fresh air after work.

✓ Lately I go for a walk along the path in my community so I can enjoy the view, and the environment is really good for getting some fresh air after work.

'Along the way' is vague; 'along the path' or 'along the route' is clearer. 'Get to see the view' is wordy; 'enjoy the view' is more natural. 'Is also really good for me to get some fresh air' is awkward — use 'is really good for getting some fresh air' or 'is a good place to get fresh air'.

× So I love, I really love that.

✓ So I really love that.

Repetition 'I love, I really love that' is redundant. Combine into the natural emphasis 'I really love that.' Remove filler comma. 'That' could be more specific (e.g., 'that experience' or 'those walks').
