Note 2
- There are two usages of the word, "walking":
a) walking in everyday life such as walking from the bus-stop to your home,
and
b) walking as an activity that you choose to do for exercise, for pleasure, to
get some fresh air, to walk the dog, etc.
Most questions here seem to allow for either interpretation.
There is also "hiking", which is walking for quite a long distance in a natural
environment for an extended time (for example, between one hour and several
days).
- If the first question is, "Do you like walking?", that would allow for both
interpretations. In other words, your answer could be about a) or b) or a
mixture of both. But if the examiner asks, "Do you like going for a walk?" or,
"Do you like going for walks?", then that specifically and only means
interpretation b). I think the more likely wording is simply, "Do you like
walking?"

5. Train Travel
