Walking— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be concise, use correct grammar and a clear topic sentence. Start with a direct answer, correct tense and articles, and avoid redundancy. Add one brief supporting detail using a linking word.

Ví dụ: No, I don’t walk much. Because my office is only about a ten-minute walk from my apartment, I usually go by bus or get a ride. Therefore, I spend most evenings at home relaxing on the sofa.

Gợi ý: Give a clear past-tense topic sentence and then add specific details. Fix tense consistency and remove hesitations. Use a linking word to connect ideas and provide a concise example.

Ví dụ: Yes, I often went for walks as a child. I lived in a small village and had many friends, so we would spend long afternoons hiking in the nearby hills, exploring trails and playing by streams.

Gợi ý: Begin with a full sentence answer, avoid unclear fragments and repetition. Provide two specific reasons linked with a conjunction and an example to illustrate the point.

Ví dụ: People like walking in parks because they offer a peaceful environment to relax and recharge after a busy day. Also, parks provide an opportunity to connect with nature, for example by listening to birds or walking under shady trees, which helps reduce stress.

Gợi ý: Use a clear conditional sentence and concise supporting reasons. Avoid filler phrases like 'I guess' and choose precise vocabulary (clear my mind, recharge). Use linking words to organize reasons.

Ví dụ: If I had the chance, I would take a long walk in the mountains because it allows me to reconnect with nature, clear my mind, and recharge both physically and mentally.

Gợi ý: Answer directly with correct past tense and smoother phrasing. Remove repetition and fix grammar (singular/plural, noise/noisy). Include one specific sensory detail to make the description vivid.

Ví dụ: Last week I walked to a temple on top of a nearby mountain with my boyfriend. It was very peaceful, the views were stunning, and the silence made me feel calm and relaxed.

× Since my company is close to my apartment I will leave it to my office but it only takes about 10 minutes.

✓ Since my company is close to my apartment, I walk to my office but it only takes about 10 minutes.

The original uses 'will leave it to my office' which is incorrect for habitual present actions. Use simple present 'walk' for regular routines. Also add a comma after the introductory clause. Suggestion: use simple present for habits and ensure subject and verb match the intended meaning.

× So most of the time I just sitting in my office and I have to work.

✓ So most of the time I just sit in my office and work.

This sentence mixes forms: 'just sitting' lacks an auxiliary and should be the simple present 'sit' for habitual action. Also 'I have to work' can be simplified to 'and work' for naturalness. Suggestion: use 'sit' for repeated actions and avoid unnecessary auxiliaries.

× I prefer to chill on the sofa.

✓ I prefer to relax on the sofa.

This is mainly a word choice: 'chill' is informal and fine, but for clarity 'relax' is more appropriate. The tense is present and correct; change improves register.

× I lived in a small village and I have lots of friends.

✓ I lived in a small village and I had lots of friends.

The sentence describes childhood (past) so both verbs should be past tense. 'Have' should be 'had' for past time reference. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent when referring to past situations.

× We usually spend time.

✓ We usually spent time together.

The original is incomplete and lacks an object; also it should be past tense 'spent' to match 'when I was a child'. Add 'together' to clarify the meaning. Suggestion: include objects or adverbial complements and match tense to the context.

× We usually spend too much time in the mountain and uh, umm, kind of hiking together.

✓ We usually spent a lot of time in the mountains, hiking together.

For past context, use 'spent'. Use plural 'mountains' when speaking generally, and 'a lot of' is more natural than 'too much' unless intended. Remove filler words and streamline structure: 'hiking together' as a participial phrase. Suggestion: match tense and choose natural collocations ('in the mountains').

× Because I think people want to find a quiet place to relax and recharge after a busy work day and Wednesday in the park.

✓ Because I think people want to find a quiet place to relax and recharge after a busy work day and spend time in the park.

The original contains 'Wednesday' incorrectly; likely intended 'spend' or 'wander' in the park. Use present simple 'want' for general truths and 'spend time in the park' is a correct expression. Suggestion: ensure words reflect intended meaning and use present simple for general statements.

× It's also a good it's also a good way to connect with nature.

✓ It's also a good way to connect with nature.

The phrase is duplicated. Remove the repeated segment to correct redundancy. Suggestion: read aloud to catch repetition and simplify.

× They may feel relaxed.

✓ People may feel relaxed.

Pronoun 'they' is acceptable but ambiguous; using 'people' matches the question's general subject. Tense/modal 'may feel' is correct. Suggestion: keep reference clear.

× I would like to go to the mountains if I had a chance because I think this is a good way to connect with real nature and I can clean my mind, recharge myself and and also I feel energetic I guess.

✓ I would like to go to the mountains if I had the chance because I think it is a good way to connect with nature; I can clear my mind, recharge, and feel more energetic.

Use 'had the chance' (or 'had a chance') for conditional past; original 'had a chance' is acceptable but pair with 'the' for naturalness. 'Real nature' is redundant; 'nature' suffices. 'Clean my mind' should be 'clear my mind'. Remove duplicate 'and' and simplify 'recharge myself' to 'recharge'. Suggestion: use correct collocations ('clear my mind') and concise phrasing.

× I went to a temple at the top of mountain with my boyfriend last week.

✓ I went to a temple at the top of a mountain with my boyfriend last week.

Missing indefinite article 'a' before 'mountain'. The past tense 'went' is correct. Suggestion: include articles with singular countable nouns: 'a mountain'.

× It was a quite peaceful place, the views were beautiful and there are and there was almost no noisy so I felt calm and relaxed when I was there.

✓ It was a quite peaceful place; the views were beautiful, and there was almost no noise, so I felt calm and relaxed when I was there.

Multiple issues: 'a quite' is slightly off—'quite a peaceful' or 'a quite peaceful' acceptable but more natural 'a quite peaceful place' is okay; main problems are tense/number and word choice. Use 'there was almost no noise' (not 'noisy'), and remove the redundant 'there are and there was'. Combine clauses with proper punctuation. Suggestion: use 'noise' (noun) rather than 'noisy' (adjective), maintain past tense 'was', and avoid repetition.
