Library— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Try to answer the question directly and clearly. Use the present tense to talk about your current habits and avoid redundancy. For example, say "I don't often go to the library now because I usually use technology to find information." Also, limit your answer to about 3-4 sentences for clarity.

Example: I don't often go to the library nowadays because I usually use the internet to find information. Technology makes it easier and faster to search for what I need. However, I did go to the library more often when I was in Senior High School.

Suggestion: Answer the question directly by starting with a clear topic sentence. Use linking words to connect ideas and be specific about your activities. For example, say "I usually do my research projects in the library because it is quiet and helps me focus."

Example: I usually do my research projects in the library because it is quiet and free from distractions. This environment helps me concentrate and complete my studies effectively.

Suggestion: Start with a clear answer to the question and then add specific details. Use linking words like "so" or "therefore" to connect ideas. For example, "No, my elementary school didn't have a library, so we used our own books to complete assignments."

Example: No, my elementary school didn't have a library. Therefore, we used our own books to find information and complete our assignments.

Suggestion: Avoid vague phrases like "apparently" and be more confident in your statements. Use linking words to make your answer coherent and avoid repetition. For example, "From what I have seen on social media, Chinese students often go to the library to study because they are very dedicated."

Example: From what I have seen on social media, Chinese students often go to the library to study. They are very dedicated and spend a lot of time reading and preparing for their exams.

✓ Back when I was in Senior High School, I barely went to the library because nowadays, in our generation, technology is rising.

The sentence mixes past and present tense incorrectly. 'I barely go' should be in past tense 'I barely went' to match 'Back when I was in Senior High School'. Also, 'for now' is better replaced with 'nowadays' to indicate current time. 'Go to library' needs the article 'the' before 'library'.
