List— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is quite long and somewhat repetitive, which affects clarity and naturalness. Try to be more concise and directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence, followed by specific supporting details. Avoid redundancy and unclear expressions like "all thumbs" and "lost cause" which may confuse the listener.

Example: Yes, I usually make a shopping list because I often forget what I need to buy. For example, last week I wrote down all the groceries before going to the store, which helped me shop efficiently and avoid unnecessary purchases.

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and mostly clear, but it could be improved by using linking words to connect ideas smoothly and by avoiding repetition such as "I try, I try." Also, try to provide more specific examples to support your points.

Example: Yes, I make a list for my work because it helps me keep track of deadlines and prioritize tasks. For instance, last week I listed my assignments by urgency, which allowed me to complete everything on time and stay punctual.

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question but contains hesitations and some unclear phrasing. Try to organize your ideas more clearly and use linking words to improve coherence. Also, avoid filler words and be more specific about reasons why some people dislike making lists.

Example: Some people dislike making lists because they have a good memory and prefer to remember tasks mentally. Additionally, they might find writing notes time-consuming and prefer to focus on their work instead.

Suggestion: Your answer is understandable but contains many hesitations and filler words, which affect fluency. Try to speak more confidently and clearly. Also, use linking words to connect your ideas and provide specific reasons for your preference.

Example: I prefer to make lists on my phone because it's convenient to carry and I always have it with me. Also, I rarely have a pen or paper handy, so using my phone makes it easier to update my list anytime.

× Indeed, I have strived a lot, but I suppose it is it is way over my head and capacity.

✓ Indeed, I have striven a lot, but I suppose it is way over my head and capacity.

The past participle of 'strive' is 'striven', not 'strived'. Using the correct past participle is important for proper present perfect tense formation.

× I suppose it is it is way over my head and capacity.

✓ I suppose it is way over my head and my capacity.

The phrase 'over my head and capacity' is missing the possessive pronoun 'my' before 'capacity' to parallel 'my head'. This clarifies that both 'head' and 'capacity' belong to the speaker.

× That is why I consider it as a kind of lost cause.

✓ That is why I consider it a kind of lost cause.

The verb 'consider' is not followed by 'as' when introducing a complement. The correct structure is 'consider it a ...', so 'as' should be omitted.

× Actually, because it helps me to pay attention to my deadlines and it helps me to be much more punctual.

✓ Actually, it helps me pay attention to my deadlines and be much more punctual.

The phrase 'helps me to pay attention' is correct but can be simplified by omitting 'to' after 'help'. Also, repeating 'it helps me to' is redundant; combining the actions improves fluency.

× So I try, I try to make a list in order to prioritize the important tasks.

✓ So I try to make a list in order to prioritize the important tasks.

Repeating 'I try' twice is unnecessary and disrupts sentence flow. Removing the repetition improves clarity and correctness.

× And sometimes they, they don't like to write notes and think a lot, which makes which can be a really time taking some time.

✓ And sometimes they don't like to write notes and think a lot, which can be really time-consuming.

The phrase 'which makes which can be a really time taking some time' is ungrammatical and redundant. 'Time-consuming' is the correct adjective to describe something that takes a lot of time.

× Oh, umm, I prefer to, umm, you know, uh, write a list in my phone because it provides this opportunity for me to carry it easily, umm, wherever I want to go.

✓ Oh, umm, I prefer to, umm, you know, uh, write a list on my phone because it provides this opportunity for me to carry it easily, umm, wherever I want to go.

The correct preposition with 'phone' in this context is 'on' not 'in'. We say 'write a list on my phone' because the phone is a surface or device, not a container.

× And moreover, uh, I, I usually don't have a pen or pencil in order to write it down. Write my list on a piece of paper.

✓ And moreover, uh, I usually don't have a pen or pencil to write it down, to write my list on a piece of paper.

The phrase 'in order to' is correct but can be simplified to 'to'. Also, the sentence fragments should be combined for clarity and grammatical correctness.
