Walking— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be concise and correct medical terms, reduce hesitations and grammar errors, and use linking words to organize ideas. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two supporting details with correct tense and reduced filler words.

Ejemplo: Yes, I walk a lot because my doctor recommended it to help with a hernia. For example, I often walk in Memorial Park in Houston with my husband, where we enjoy long three-mile walks and good conversation.

Sugerencia: Avoid fillers and repetition; use clear, connected sentences and specific examples. Give a topic sentence, then two concise supporting details linked with conjunctions or sequencing words.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often walked when I was a child. I usually walked to school and to Central Park with my family, and I also spent time walking around the neighborhood with my friends after school.

Sugerencia: Clarify your reasons and use precise vocabulary; avoid contradictions and hesitations. Provide two clear reasons with linking words like 'because' and 'for example', and correct word choice (e.g., 'stress-relieving' instead of 'this is stressing').

Ejemplo: People walk in parks because they want to relax and reduce stress. For example, many people walk their dogs there, and the green space and fresh air make exercising more enjoyable.

Sugerencia: Use correct verb tenses and eliminate fillers. Begin with a direct answer, then add one or two specific details (distance, activities) using linking words. Keep sentences short and grammatically correct.

Ejemplo: I would walk in Memorial Park in Houston. My husband and I often walked there for about three miles, enjoying conversation and exploring new paths.

Sugerencia: Remove repetitions and hesitations; use past tense consistently when describing recent events. Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence, then give specific details about location and what you saw using linking words like 'and' or 'while'.

Ejemplo: Recently I walked in a park near my new apartment, where I live with my cousin. I took a long walk with a dog and watched people playing various sports while I walked.

× Yes I love walking because I have a hernal disc this called hernia sorry and the doctor recommended me a take a long walks and I also really enjoy walking around a park.

✓ Yes, I love walking because I have a herniated disc, called a hernia, and the doctor recommended that I take long walks. I also really enjoy walking around a park.

Errors: 'a hernal disc' incorrect article and adjective form; 'this called hernia' incorrect word order and article; 'recommended me a take a long walks' incorrect verb pattern and plural/article use. Suggestion: Use correct medical term 'herniated disc', add commas, use 'called a hernia' for clarification, use 'recommended that I take long walks' or 'recommended I take long walks', and 'long walks' without extra article when plural.

× There is Memorial Park in Houston I used to walk there with my husband and we had a really fun time.

✓ There is Memorial Park in Houston. I used to walk there with my husband, and we had a really fun time.

Errors: Run-on sentence and punctuation, although grammar items on list restrict to certain types. The main issue is sentence structure and punctuation; corrected by splitting into two sentences and adding comma before 'and'. Suggestion: Separate independent clauses and use commas for clarity.

× Yes, when I was a child, I used to walk, uh, to school and to go to the park and to go out to go with my family to have dinner or just walking around, uh, around the Central Park in my city.

✓ Yes, when I was a child, I used to walk to school, go to the park, and go out with my family to have dinner, or just walk around Central Park in my city.

Errors: Unnecessary repetition of 'to' and inconsistent verb forms ('go out to go' and 'just walking around'). Suggestion: Use parallel verb forms (infinitives or base form) and remove redundant words: 'used to walk to school, go to the park, and go out with my family'.

× On the other hand, I used to walk around my neighborhood, uh, with my friends as well.

✓ I used to walk around my neighborhood with my friends as well.

Error: 'On the other hand' is unnecessary and awkward here; remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: Keep sentences concise and remove irrelevant discourse markers.

× I think because they are looking for a relaxed moment and sometimes they, they like to walk with, uh, their pets and because it's really enjoyable and it's, this is stressing and I think we all enjoyed it.

✓ I think people are looking for a relaxed moment. Sometimes they like to walk with their pets because it's really enjoyable and relieves stress, and I think we all enjoy it.

Errors: Pronoun repetition 'they, they', awkward phrasing 'it's, this is stressing', tense inconsistency 'we all enjoyed it'. Suggestion: Use 'people' or 'they' consistently, replace 'this is stressing' with 'relieves stress' and use present tense 'enjoy' to match general statement.

× If I have a chance, I would like to walk around Memorial Park.

✓ If I had the chance, I would like to walk around Memorial Park.

Error: Conditional mismatch: 'If I have a chance' (present) with 'would' (conditional). Suggestion: Use second conditional for unreal or hypothetical present: 'If I had the chance, I would...'. Alternatively use 'If I have a chance, I will...' for real future.

× It's a very big park in Houston and we and my husband usual used to take a long walk like around 3 miles and we usually enjoy, you know, talking and walking around, discovering new path and we had a really fun time there.

✓ It's a very big park in Houston, and my husband and I usually used to take long walks of around 3 miles. We usually enjoy talking and walking around, discovering new paths, and we have a really fun time there.

Errors: Word order 'we and my husband', incorrect adverb/adjective 'usual used to', inconsistent tenses 'used to' vs 'usually', 'new path' should be plural. Suggestion: Use 'my husband and I' for subject order, choose either 'usually' or 'used to' consistently (e.g., 'used to take' for past habit or 'usually take' for present habit), pluralize 'paths'.

× Lately I went for a walk near my my new apartment right now.

✓ Lately I have gone for a walk near my new apartment.

Error: Tense mismatch: 'Lately' (recent past) is used with simple past 'went' acceptable but combined with 'right now' creates conflict. Suggestion: Use present perfect 'have gone' with 'lately' or remove 'right now' and say 'I went for a walk near my new apartment recently.' Also remove duplicate 'my'.

× I mean I'm I'm sharing an apartment with my cousin.

✓ I mean I'm sharing an apartment with my cousin.

Error: Repetition 'I'm I'm' and filler 'I mean' can be reduced. Suggestion: Remove duplicate words and unnecessary fillers for clarity.

× So I went to a park near here and I took a long walk there with the dog and it was very fun.

✓ So I went to a park nearby and took a long walk there with the dog, and it was a lot of fun.

Errors: 'near here' awkward, article 'the dog' implies known dog — better 'with my dog' if it's theirs. 'very fun' is colloquial; prefer 'a lot of fun'. Suggestion: Use 'nearby' and specify whose dog or 'a dog' as appropriate.

× I was watching people play many sports.

✓ I watched people playing many sports.

Error: 'play many sports' is acceptable but 'was watching' vs simple past prefer consistency. Suggestion: Use 'I watched people playing many sports' or 'I saw people playing many sports' for natural phrasing.
