Walking— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Reduce filler words and give a concise topic sentence followed by a brief reason. Use correct grammar (e.g., 'prefer to use') and one supporting detail. Keep it to 1–2 sentences.

Exemplo: Not really. I prefer to use public transport or my car to commute to the office because it saves time and is more convenient for me.

Sugestão: Avoid repetition and correct tense/use of expressions (say 'when I was a child'). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific details or an example. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example'.

Exemplo: Yes, I did. When I was a child I often walked because my family didn’t have a bicycle or other transport. For example, I used to walk short distances to my friends’ houses.

Sugestão: Improve vocabulary and coherence: correct word choice ('walk in parks') and avoid repeating ideas. Use linking phrases (e.g., 'firstly', 'also') and give specific benefits (scenery, fresh air, safety). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Exemplo: People enjoy walking in parks for the pleasant scenery and fresh air. They also like parks because there are safe paths and no traffic, which makes walking more relaxing.

Sugestão: Speak confidently with fewer fillers and fix grammar (e.g., 'I would prefer to take a long walk'). Be specific about the location and why it appeals to you. One or two clear sentences are enough.

Exemplo: I would like to take a long walk in the countryside, for example on a farm with narrow footpaths, because it would be peaceful and I could enjoy nature away from the city.

Sugestão: Use correct tense ('I went') and remove hesitations. Give a clear answer plus one or two details (what you did and why). Avoid redundancy and keep it concise.

Exemplo: Lately I went for a walk at the shopping mall. I walked between levels while window-shopping and sometimes buying a few small items.

× I would prefer use uh public transport or my own car to commute from my home to the uh, office.

✓ I would prefer using public transport or my own car to commute from my home to the office.

After 'prefer' when followed by a verb, using the gerund (verb + -ing) is correct if no 'to' is present. 'Prefer use' is incorrect; use 'prefer to use' or 'prefer using'. Also remove filler 'uh' and duplicate article 'the' before office for clarity.

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

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

The question uses past tense auxiliary 'did', so the base verb 'go' is correct; the phrase 'to have a walk' is unnatural. Use 'for a walk' for native phrasing. No change in tense is needed.

× Yeah, of course during my child time I always walk because during that time I I don't have any, any bicycle, any transport.

✓ Yeah, of course during my childhood I always walked because at that time I didn't have a bicycle or any other transport.

Refers to past habitual action, so use past tense 'walked' and 'didn't have'. 'Child time' is incorrect; use 'childhood'. Avoid repetition of 'any' and use 'or any other' for clarity.

× So I always walk, but in a short distance, for example, go to my friend's homes.

✓ So I always walked, but only short distances; for example, I would go to my friend's home.

Maintain past tense 'walked' to match context. 'A short distance' vs 'short distances'—use plural or rephrase. 'Friend's homes' is incorrect if referring to one friend; use 'friend's home' or 'friends' homes' for multiple friends.

× People like to work in park because they want to get a good view at the park because they have a good landscape.

✓ People like to walk in parks because they want to enjoy the view and the pleasant landscape.

The speaker likely meant 'walk', not 'work'. Use plural 'parks' or 'the park' consistently. 'Get a good view at the park' is unnatural; use 'enjoy the view' or 'have a good view'. Condense repeated ideas for clarity.

× And then at the park also they have the uh, good, uh, facility where they don't have to face the traffic jam.

✓ Also, the park has good facilities where they don't have to face traffic jams.

Use 'the park' or 'parks' consistently; 'the uh good uh facility' should be 'good facilities'. 'Traffic jam' as a countable concept is better pluralized or uncountable: 'traffic jams' or 'traffic'. Remove fillers.

× I would prefer to have a long walk, umm, especially if I want to go the the field, uh, the farm where there is a small path which is suitable for The Walking area.

✓ I would prefer to take a long walk, especially if I can go to a field or a farm where there is a small path suitable for walking.

Use 'take a walk' rather than 'have a long walk' in natural English. 'Prefer to have' is acceptable but 'prefer to take' is more idiomatic. Capitalization 'The Walking' is wrong; use 'walking'. Remove double 'the' and fillers.

× Where did you go for a walk lately?

✓ Where have you gone for a walk lately?

When asking about recent activities with 'lately', present perfect ('have you gone') is more appropriate than simple past 'did you go'. Use present perfect to relate past action to the present.

× Umm, lately I go to, I go walk for, for, uh, at the shopping mall we have I have to walk from one level to another level to have a window shopping and buy some, some some.

✓ Lately I have been going to the shopping mall; I walk from one level to another to do window shopping and buy a few things.

Use present perfect continuous 'have been going' or present perfect 'have gone' for recent repeated actions. 'I go walk' is incorrect; use 'I walk' or 'I go for a walk'. 'Have to walk' is okay but simpler: 'I walk from one level to another'. 'Window shopping' is a noun phrase; 'do window shopping' or just 'window shop'. 'Buy some, some' should be 'buy a few things'.
