僕の英作文
While I was taking for a walk, I occasionally stopped and looked slowly around over the wide river.
ネイティブからのアドバイス
You can either say “While I was taking a walk” or “While I was going for a walk”.
The expression “looked slowly around over the river” contains too many prepositions.
To describe taking your time while taking in the view, you can also say:
“I occasionally stopped and gazed at the river.”
You can also say: “I took my time, occasionally interrupting my walk to gaze at the river.”

前置詞多すぎ!
