Traffic— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Correct factual content but needs clearer language, fewer mistakes, and more coherence. Fix vocabulary errors ("clothes"→"crosswalks", "close"→"cross"), use a direct topic sentence, and keep within 3–4 sentences. Add a linking word when giving reasons and include one specific example (e.g., a nearby school).

Ejemplo: Yes, there are many crosswalks near where I live in Kota Kinabalu. For example, you can find crosswalks in front of the main hospital and a large primary school. As a result, pedestrians can cross the road more safely and reach local shops and clinics easily.

Sugerencia: Good ideas but language accuracy and coherence need improvement. Use correct nouns ("cycling lanes", "bus"), subject-verb agreement, and clearer linking phrases (e.g., "Firstly,", "Secondly,"). Limit to 3–4 brief sentences, give one specific detail per idea, and explain the expected result of each change.

Ejemplo: Firstly, I would widen sidewalks and add cycling lanes so more residents can walk or cycle, which would reduce traffic and air pollution. Secondly, I would increase the frequency of buses on main routes because the current network is sparse, making public transport a more convenient option. Finally, I would improve street lighting on major roads to enhance safety for drivers and pedestrians at night.

× Yes, there are plenty of clothes for where I live because I live in Kota Kinabalu, a city in Sabah.

✓ Yes, there are plenty of crosswalks where I live because I live in Kota Kinabalu, a city in Sabah.

The student used the wrong word 'clothes' instead of 'crosswalks' (lexical error) and included an unnecessary preposition 'for'. Also 'plenty of' correctly takes a plural noun 'crosswalks'. Suggestion: use precise vocabulary and remove the unnecessary 'for' so the phrase reads 'plenty of crosswalks where I live.'

× They are usually built near the common facilities like a school and hospital so the pedestrian can close safely and reach their destination easily.

✓ They are usually built near common facilities like schools and hospitals so pedestrians can cross safely and reach their destinations easily.

Several issues: plural nouns and subject-verb agreement—use 'common facilities' plural and 'schools and hospitals' plural to match 'they'. 'The pedestrian' should be plural 'pedestrians' to match general meaning, and the verb should be 'cross' not 'close'. Also 'destination' should be plural 'destinations' when speaking generally. Suggestion: ensure nouns match plurality and use the correct verb 'cross' for pedestrian action.

× First, I will widen the sidewalk and expand the cycling lens so more people can walk or cycle, which help reduce air pollution.

✓ First, I will widen the sidewalk and expand the cycling lanes so more people can walk or cycle, which will help reduce air pollution.

The clause describing the result of the planned actions should use future reference 'will help' to match 'I will widen...' Also 'lens' is a typo; correct noun is 'lanes'. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'which will help' uses singular helping verb for the singular idea. Suggestion: match tense across clauses and check spelling of key nouns.

× Second, I will increase the frequency of public transport in Sabah because the network is currently not well developed and making buses are more convenient option.

✓ Second, I will increase the frequency of public transport in Sabah because the network is currently not well developed and making buses a more convenient option.

The phrase needs an article before 'more convenient option' — 'a more convenient option'. Also the gerund clause 'making buses a more convenient option' is acceptable, but the sentence reads better with parallel structure. Suggestion: add the article 'a' and consider rephrasing to 'so buses become a more convenient option.'

× Finally, I would like to upgrade the street lining at night because there is no street light at all to improve the cars.

✓ Finally, I would like to upgrade the street lighting at night because there are no street lights at all to improve safety for cars and pedestrians.

Multiple errors: use 'street lighting' (uncountable) instead of 'street lining'; 'there are no street lights' (plural) not 'no street light'; and 'to improve the cars' is incorrect—should state what is improved (e.g., 'safety for cars and pedestrians'). Suggestion: use correct compound nouns ('street lighting'), match singular/plural, and specify the intended improvement (safety) rather than 'the cars.'
