Walking— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct tense/grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Fix time expression (‘a 50-minute walk’) and avoid contradictory statements (walking usually takes more time than driving).

Ejemplo: Yes, I walk a lot. For example, I often walk to the nearby hospital, which is about a 50‑minute walk from my home, because it helps me avoid traffic and gives me some daily exercise.

Sugerencia: Use correct past tense and reduce repetition. Give one clear supporting detail and use linking words like ‘so’ or ‘because’. Be specific about activities and feelings.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often walked to the park near my house with my family or friends. I enjoyed it because I could play games with other children and watch families having picnics, which felt lively and fun.

Sugerencia: Be more fluent and avoid fillers. Provide one or two clear reasons with linking words and correct grammar (e.g. ‘it feels’). Add a specific example to make the answer vivid.

Ejemplo: People enjoy walking in parks because it is a relaxing way to spend time with family and friends. For instance, seeing families having picnics can lift your mood and help you forget daily stress.

Sugerencia: Complete your sentences and avoid hesitations. Start with a direct topic sentence, then explain why with specific sensory details. Use correct verb forms (e.g. ‘enjoy’ not ‘enjoying’) and finish the thought.

Ejemplo: I would like to take a long walk along the beach to watch the sunset. I enjoy the changing colours of the sky and the calming sound of waves because it helps me relax and reflect.

Sugerencia: Use past tense for past actions and avoid fillers. Provide one or two clear, specific details about the place and activities, and link them logically with words like ‘for example’ or ‘such as’.

Ejemplo: Recently I walked along Tanjong Aro beach in Sabah. For example, I watched people kayaking, children flying kites, and families having picnics while waiting to see the sunset.

× Yes, I do walk a lot to the nearby hospital which is around 50 minute walk from my place and I really enjoy walking because I can avoid traffic and also I can save my time.

✓ Yes, I walk a lot to the nearby hospital which is around a 50-minute walk from my place, and I really enjoy walking because I can avoid traffic and save time.

The original uses 'do walk' unnecessarily; simple present 'I walk' is correct for routines. '50 minute' needs a hyphen and singular 'a 50-minute walk'. 'Save my time' is unnatural; use 'save time'. Also add a comma before 'and' to join clauses. Suggested improvement: Use simple present for habitual actions and standard noun phrases with hyphens for compound adjectives.

× Yes, when I was a child I often go to the park nearby in my house to have a walk with my family and sometime with my friends.

✓ Yes, when I was a child I often went to the park near my house to walk with my family and sometimes with my friends.

The sentence sets past time 'when I was a child' so verbs should be in past tense: 'go' -> 'went'. 'Nearby in my house' is incorrect order; use 'near my house'. 'Have a walk' is okay but 'walk' is more natural. 'Sometime' should be plural 'sometimes'. Suggested improvement: Keep past-tense consistency and correct word order and adverb forms.

× It's really enjoying because through walking in the park I can play with the other child when I was a kid and I enjoy seeing the gathering of other family.

✓ It was really enjoyable because by walking in the park I could play with other children when I was a kid, and I enjoyed seeing other families gathering.

Tense must match past context: 'It's'->'It was'. 'Enjoying' is the present participle but an adjective 'enjoyable' is required. 'Through walking' is awkward; 'by walking' is better. 'The other child' should be plural 'other children'. 'When I was a kid' belongs earlier; adjust clause order. 'Gathering of other family' should be 'other families gathering' or 'gatherings of other families'. Suggested improvement: Use correct adjective forms and plural nouns, and keep tense consistent.

× I think people like to walk in park because it's a relaxing way to spend time with families and also friends and it's feel really relieving and enjoying.

✓ I think people like to walk in parks because it's a relaxing way to spend time with family and friends, and it feels very relieving and enjoyable.

Use plural 'parks' or 'the park'; 'in park' is missing article. 'Families and also friends' is awkward: use 'family and friends'. 'It's feel' is ungrammatical; correct is 'it feels'. 'Relieving and enjoyable' are adjectives; use 'very' rather than 'really' for style, but 'really' is acceptable. Ensure parallel structure. Suggested improvement: Use correct articles/prepositions, subject-verb agreement, and adjective forms.

× And when we, uh, see other family gathering, it's like a way for us to forgot our stress and, and enjoy the moment.

✓ And when we see other families gathering, it's like a way for us to forget our stress and enjoy the moment.

'Other family gathering' should be plural 'other families gathering'. 'Forgot' is past tense but the context requires base form 'forget' after 'to'. Remove filler 'uh' and duplicate 'and'. Suggested improvement: Use infinitive after 'to' and plural nouns as needed.

× I would like to take a long walk by the beach and enjoying the sunset because I feel it's really relieving of seeing how the sun goes down and the surrounding changes of the colours of the sky and also just seeing uh, how the landscape transformed from the.

✓ I would like to take a long walk along the beach and enjoy the sunset because I find it very relaxing to see how the sun goes down and how the colours of the sky and the surrounding landscape change.

After 'would like to' use the base verb 'enjoy', not the -ing form 'enjoying'. 'Relieving of seeing' is incorrect; use 'relaxing to see'. 'Surrounding changes of the colours' is awkward; rephrase to 'how the colours of the sky and the surrounding landscape change'. Remove trailing incomplete phrase. Suggested improvement: Use base verbs after 'would like to' and avoid '-ing' when not required; use clear noun phrases.

× Lately I go for a walk along a beach UMM in Sabah which is called Tanjong Aro beach.

✓ Lately I have been going for walks along a beach in Sabah called Tanjong Aro Beach.

'Lately' indicates a recent continuous activity, so present perfect progressive or present perfect 'have been going' is appropriate, not simple present 'go'. Use 'walks' plural for repeated actions. 'UMM' is filler to remove. Place name capitalization: 'Tanjong Aro Beach'. Suggested improvement: Use present perfect to describe recent repeated actions and remove fillers.

× I enjoy seeing people kayaking and playing the kid, the kite uh by the beach and also family just picnicking in by the beach to see the sunset.

✓ I enjoy seeing people kayaking, children playing with kites by the beach, and families picnicking by the beach to watch the sunset.

'Playing the kid, the kite' is confused; likely 'children playing with kites'. 'Family' should be plural 'families'. 'Picnicking in by the beach' has wrong preposition; use 'picnicking by the beach'. 'To see the sunset' -> 'to watch the sunset' is more natural. Suggested improvement: Use correct noun forms (children, families), correct prepositions, and clear parallel structure.
