Writing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is generally relevant but contains a confusing word choice ('ride' instead of 'write') which affects clarity. Also, try to avoid minor grammatical errors and redundancy. Aim to be more precise and natural in your language.

Example: Yes, I write quite a lot, especially for my studies and work. Writing helps me organise my thoughts better, and I often write emails, reports, and sometimes short stories to relax. It's a useful skill that I try to improve regularly.

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and well-structured with good use of linking words. To improve, try to vary your vocabulary a bit more and avoid slight redundancy such as 'better understand' and 'clearly' together.

Example: I enjoy writing personal journals because they allow me to reflect on my daily experiences and gain insight into my thoughts and feelings. Additionally, I sometimes write short stories inspired by my past experiences, which gives me the opportunity to be creative and explore different ideas.

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question but contains some awkward phrasing like 'perspective experience' and 'how I thought about'. Try to use clearer expressions and more precise vocabulary to improve naturalness and clarity.

Example: Yes, I definitely think my writing will change over time. As I grow older, my perspective will evolve, which will influence my personal writing, especially in how I express ideas or tell stories.

Suggestion: Your answer is clear, well-structured, and uses appropriate vocabulary. To improve further, you could add a linking phrase to connect your ideas more smoothly and perhaps include a brief example.

Example: I definitely prefer typing rather than handwriting because I find it much more efficient and convenient, especially when writing long texts. For example, typing on a laptop allows me to easily edit my work and save it securely, which is really helpful when I need to review or make changes later.

× Yes, I do ride a bit, especially for my studies and work.

✓ Yes, I do write a bit, especially for my studies and work.

The student mistakenly used 'ride' instead of 'write'. The question is about writing, so the verb should be 'write'. This is a lexical error rather than a grammar problem, but since it involves verb usage, it is corrected here for clarity.

× sometimes even short stories for relaxations.

✓ sometimes even short stories for relaxation.

The word 'relaxation' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralised. Using 'relaxations' is incorrect. The correct form is 'relaxation' without 's'.

× What do you like to write?

✓ What do you like to write?

No correction needed here as the sentence is grammatically correct.

× I enjoy writing personal journals because they help me reflect on my daily experiences and better understand my thoughts and feelings clearly.

✓ I enjoy writing personal journals because they help me reflect on my daily experiences and better understand my thoughts and feelings clearly.

No correction needed here as the sentence is grammatically correct.

× Additionally, I sometimes write short stories based on my past experiences, which gives me the chance to be creative and explore different ideas.

✓ Additionally, I sometimes write short stories based on my past experiences, which give me the chance to be creative and explore different ideas.

The relative pronoun 'which' refers to 'short stories' (plural), so the verb should be plural 'give' instead of 'gives' to agree with the plural subject.

× As I grow older, my perspective experience will evolve and somehow it will affect my personal writing, especially on how I thought about specific ideas or stories.

✓ As I grow older, my perspective and experience will evolve and somehow they will affect my personal writing, especially on how I think about specific ideas or stories.

The phrase 'perspective experience' is incorrect; it should be two separate nouns 'perspective and experience'. Also, 'it' should be 'they' to agree with the plural subject. Additionally, 'thought' should be 'think' to maintain present tense consistent with 'grow older' and 'will affect'.
