Writing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and directly answer the question first (yes/no and frequency), then give one supporting detail. Avoid redundancy and keep to at most 3–4 short sentences. Use simple linking words like 'because' or 'for example.'

Example: Not much — I only write occasionally. I prefer expressing my creativity through art and craft because it feels more personal. For example, I often make handmade cards and paintings for loved ones on their birthdays.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence naming what you write, then give a brief reason. Avoid long or repetitive phrases and use one linking word (because/so) to connect ideas. Keep sentences grammatically simple.

Example: I usually write down my emotions, especially when I'm very stressed. I do this because getting feelings onto paper helps me calm down and think more clearly.

Suggestion: Answer more directly and avoid unclear hedges like 'I can't say much.' State your opinion clearly and give one specific reason or example. Avoid multiple speculative ideas in one short answer.

Example: I think what I write can change me over time because reflecting on past incidents helps me learn. For example, reading old notes often reminds me of mistakes I've corrected and guides future decisions.

Suggestion: Start with a clear preference ('I prefer handwriting') and give two short reasons using linking words like 'because' and 'also.' Avoid vague phrases and ensure grammatical correctness.

Example: I prefer handwriting because it reflects personal style and helps me remember things better. Also, typed documents often look the same, so handwriting feels more personal.

Suggestion: Answer frequency clearly (e.g. 'rarely' or 'never') then give one brief, specific reason. Avoid long storytelling; keep to 2–3 sentences and maintain neutral tone.

Example: I rarely keep a diary. I used to write often, but after my sister made fun of my journal entries I stopped.

Suggestion: Good content and structure — just tighten sentences and use a linking word to connect the two methods. Be slightly more specific about frequency or an example to enrich the answer without exceeding length limits.

Example: I usually talk things over with close friends or my partner because that helps me process feelings. I also keep a brief notes file on my phone to record important events and lessons so I don't repeat mistakes.

× Moments where I really like to jot my emotions down on a piece of paper is when I'm on the verge of a mental or an emotional breakdown.

✓ The moments when I really like to jot my emotions down on a piece of paper are when I'm on the verge of a mental or emotional breakdown.

Subject-verb agreement and sentence structure: The subject 'The moments when I really like to jot my emotions down on a piece of paper' is plural ('moments'), so the verb must be plural ('are' not 'is'). Also 'a mental or an emotional breakdown' is awkward with repeated articles; use 'a mental or emotional breakdown' for clarity. Suggestion: identify the true subject (moments) and match the verb form; remove the extra article before 'emotional.'

× In order to keep my sanity, I try writing my feelings or actually pouring my feelings out on the paper.

✓ In order to keep my sanity, I try writing down my feelings or actually pouring them out on the paper.

Verb + -ing and pronoun use: 'try writing my feelings' is understandable but more natural is 'try writing down my feelings.' Also avoid repeating 'my feelings' twice; use the pronoun 'them.' Suggestion: use 'writing down' for the act of recording feelings and use pronouns to avoid repetition.

× I can't say much about that, however, I write things in order to express what I have observed in the past incidents.

✓ I can't say much about that; however, I write to express what I have observed in past incidents.

Tense and style: 'write things in order to express' is wordy; 'write to express' is concise. 'In the past incidents' is incorrect preposition/article use; use 'past incidents' without 'the' or 'in.' Suggestion: simplify infinitive structure and remove unnecessary articles.

× Therefore, I feel that it can make a person wiser to take future decisions.

✓ Therefore, I feel that it can make a person wiser when taking future decisions.

Gerund/participle use: 'to take future decisions' is grammatically acceptable but unnatural in this context; 'when taking future decisions' or 'when making future decisions' is more idiomatic. Suggestion: use 'making decisions' or 'when taking decisions' to sound natural.

× I believe in writing it's far better than typing as it reflects the individual differences in people's piece of work as well as it helps you remember the fact better.

✓ I believe handwriting is far better than typing, as it reflects individual differences in people's work and helps you remember things better.

Article and noun phrase errors: 'writing it's far better' should be 'handwriting is far better' to compare methods. 'people's piece of work' is incorrect—use 'people's work.' 'the fact' is vague; use 'things' or 'information.' Also punctuation: add a comma before 'as.' Suggestion: use clearer nouns (handwriting, work, things) and correct articles.

× On top of that, typed documents seem the same because of phones.

✓ On top of that, typed documents often look the same because many people use phones to type them.

Sentence clarity and structure: 'seem the same because of phones' is vague. Clarify the cause: phones lead to similar-looking typed documents. Suggestion: specify how phones cause similarity and avoid ambiguous 'seem the same.'

× I'm really bad at keeping Diaries.

✓ I'm really bad at keeping diaries.

Article/capitalization: 'Diaries' should not be capitalized and does not need an article; use lowercase 'diaries.' Suggestion: use lowercase for common nouns and omit unnecessary articles.

× In the past when I had my journal, I used to write my emotional breakdown and what triggered it, until one day my sister saw that and she made fun of it.

✓ In the past, when I had a journal, I used to write about my emotional breakdowns and what triggered them, until one day my sister saw it and made fun of me.

Past tense and pronoun/reference: 'my journal' is fine but add article 'a.' 'write my emotional breakdown' should be 'write about my emotional breakdowns' or 'write down my emotional breakdown.' Pluralize 'breakdowns' if recurring, and change 'what triggered it' to 'what triggered them' to match plural. 'She made fun of it' should be 'made fun of me' because she mocked the writer. Suggestion: match number agreement and use appropriate prepositions ('write about').

× After that I never wrote any journal.

✓ After that, I never kept a journal again.

Verb and noun choice in past tense: 'wrote any journal' is incorrect collocation. Use 'kept a journal' or 'wrote in my journal.' Add 'again' to show cessation. Suggestion: use natural collocations like 'keep a journal' and place commas for clarity.

× I usually talk about things that trouble me with close friends and my partner, which helps me process my feelings.

✓ I usually talk about things that trouble me with close friends and my partner, which helps me process my feelings.

No correction needed: sentence is grammatically correct. Included here to show it meets no listed error type beyond allowed forms; keep as is.

× I also keep a note on my phone to record important events.

✓ I also keep notes on my phone to record important events.

Preposition and number: 'a note on my phone' is acceptable, but 'keep notes on my phone' is more natural for regular recording. If singular is intended, 'a note' is fine; prefer plural to match 'important events.' Suggestion: match singular/plural for consistency.

× For example, when I'm stressed about work, I'll discuss it with a friend and jot down what I learned so I don't repeat the same mistakes.

✓ For example, when I'm stressed about work, I discuss it with a friend and jot down what I learn so I don't repeat the same mistakes.

Tense consistency: Mixing future 'I'll discuss' with general habit is inconsistent. Use present simple 'I discuss' and 'what I learn' for habitual actions. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual behaviours.
