Walking— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be direct and accurate: start with a clear topic sentence stating how often you walk, avoid grammar mistakes and redundant details, and keep it within 3–4 concise sentences. Use correct verb forms and precise vocabulary (e.g., “walk a lot” not “work a lot”), and give one brief reason or example.

Ejemplo: I like walking occasionally, but I don't walk a lot. Usually I take public transport or a car when I need to travel farther. However, I walk short distances near my home for exercise or errands.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear topic sentence and use consistent tense. Avoid repetition (e.g., 'just') and combine sentences with linking words for fluency. Add one specific detail (what you did in the park) to enrich the answer.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often went out to walk as a child because I disliked staying indoors. I used to walk to my neighbor's house and then we'd walk to the nearby park to play games and feed the ducks. Those walks were a regular part of my afternoons.

Sugerencia: Give a concise, coherent answer with a topic sentence, then one or two specific reasons using linking words (e.g., ‘because’, ‘for example’). Avoid vague or repetitive phrases and correct grammar (e.g., 'it can be nice').

Ejemplo: People like walking in parks because the environment is peaceful and helps them relax. For example, fresh air, greenery and safe paths make it easy to exercise or spend time with friends, which improves mood and reduces stress.

Sugerencia: Answer clearly and realistically: name a place and give a coherent reason. Avoid contradictory or confusing statements (walking to Egypt is unrealistic if you mean travel; 'trek to the gym' contradicts 'walk to Egypt'). Keep to 2–3 sentences and be specific about what you would enjoy there.

Ejemplo: If I had the chance, I would like to take a long walk along the Nile in Egypt because I want to see the historic sites and experience the landscape on foot. Walking there would allow me to explore small villages and feel the local culture more closely.

Sugerencia: Give a clear past-tense topic sentence and use natural expressions (e.g., 'I walked' rather than 'went by leg'). Use linking words to sequence events and give one specific detail about the walk. Avoid filler or unfinished sentences.

Ejemplo: Recently I walked to visit a friend who lives nearby. After meeting, we walked to the local park to relax and enjoy nature, and we sat by the pond and chatted for an hour.

× I enjoy walking but I don't work a lot 'cause I'm very lazy, so sometimes I just board a bus or a train and sometimes I use a private car or an Uber to go to places or events.

✓ I enjoy walking but I don't walk a lot 'cause I'm very lazy, so sometimes I just board a bus or a train and sometimes I use a private car or an Uber to go to places or events.

The student wrote 'I don't work a lot' when they meant 'I don't walk a lot'. This is a word choice error rather than a verb conjugation issue, but it results in incorrect meaning. Replace 'work' with the base verb 'walk' to match the intended activity. Suggestion: check verbs carefully to ensure they match meaning.

× I hardly ever walked for a long distance.

✓ I hardly ever walk long distances.

The original used past tense 'walked' but the sentence describes a general habit, so present simple 'walk' is correct. Also 'for a long distance' is awkward in this context; use plural 'long distances' to express habit. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions and prefer 'long distances' for general statements.

× In fact, I didn't like staying at home, so I walked to my neighbor's house and we'll just have a walk around the park to just play and enjoy ourselves.

✓ In fact, I didn't like staying at home, so I walked to my neighbor's house and we would just walk around the park to play and enjoy ourselves.

The sentence mixes past simple ('didn't like', 'walked') with 'we'll' (future) which is inconsistent. Use 'we would' or 'we would just walk' to indicate a past habitual action. Also replace 'have a walk' with 'walk' for natural phrasing and remove redundant 'just'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent when describing past routines and use 'would' to describe repeated past actions.

× We have a park very close by, so we would walk there and have a good time.

✓ We had a park very close by, so we would walk there and have a good time.

Context is childhood (past), so 'have' should be 'had' to match past tense. 'Would walk' is correct for habitual past actions. Suggestion: ensure verbs reflect the time frame established in the conversation.

× Because it's can be nice.

✓ Because it can be nice.

The phrase 'it's can be nice' contains both the contraction 'it's' (it is) and the modal 'can', creating an extra verb. Use 'it can be nice' or 'it's nice' but not both. Suggestion: avoid stacking auxiliary verbs; choose the correct structure for meaning.

× It's also something that helps with relaxing and just having a good time.

✓ It's also something that helps people relax and have a good time.

The structure 'helps with relaxing' is acceptable but less natural; 'helps people relax' is clearer and matches plural subject 'people'. Also change 'having' to 'have' to parallel 'relax'. Suggestion: use 'help someone do something' structure for clarity.

× When people walk, people feel more relaxed and eased.

✓ When people walk, they feel more relaxed and at ease.

Repeating 'people' is redundant; replace the second 'people' with the pronoun 'they'. Also 'eased' is incorrect here; the correct idiom is 'at ease'. Suggestion: use pronouns to avoid repetition and learn common collocations like 'at ease'.

× So I think that's why people like walking and they do this thing, people they care about and love.

✓ So I think that's why people like walking: it allows them to care for and spend time with the people they love.

Original is disorganized and ungrammatical, with repeated and misplaced pronouns. Recast the idea clearly: walking gives people a chance to be with those they care about. Suggestion: simplify sentences, avoid repeating subjects, and use clear connectors.

× I would definitely want to walk to Egypt if I had a chance because I use transport system to get there most of the time, but I think I would like to do something spontaneous this time and just trek to the gym.

✓ I would definitely want to walk to Egypt if I had the chance because I usually use the transport system to get there, but I think I would like to do something spontaneous this time and just walk to the gym.

Several issues: 'if I had a chance' -> 'if I had the chance' is more natural. 'I use transport system' lacks article and tense: use 'I usually use the transport system'. 'Trek to the gym' is odd; 'walk to the gym' is appropriate for short distance. Maintain consistent modality 'would'. Suggestion: use articles with 'transport system', use adverbs like 'usually' for habits, and choose verbs appropriate to distance.

× I went to visit my friend and I went by leg, I trekked, then we tracked to the park just to relax and have a good connection with nature.

✓ I went to visit my friend and I went on foot; I walked, then we went to the park just to relax and connect with nature.

'Went by leg' is incorrect English; use 'went on foot' or 'walked'. 'Trekked' is possible but uncommon for short local walking; 'walked' fits better. 'We tracked to the park' is wrong: 'went to the park' or 'walked to the park' is correct. 'Have a good connection with nature' is awkward; 'connect with nature' is natural. Suggestion: use standard phrases like 'on foot' and 'walked', and 'connect with nature' for natural expression.

× It's.

✓ It was.

The fragment 'It's.' is incomplete and unclear. In context describing a past walk, use 'It was.' followed by an adjective or clause (for example, 'It was nice.'). Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments; ensure each sentence has a verb and completes the thought.
