Tidiness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Clarify and simplify your response: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition and fragmented phrases. Also correct small grammar errors (e.g., "I'm more productive when things are organized," "my dressing table").

Example: Yes, I like to keep things tidy because I feel more productive when my surroundings are organized. For example, I always keep my room neat so I can think clearly, but I don't mind a slightly messy dressing table sometimes because it doesn't affect my work.

Suggestion: Make the answer more concise and avoid repeating the same idea. Use a simple past or past habit structure ("I used to..." or "when I was young...") and provide a specific example or brief reason.

Example: Yes, I used to keep my room tidy when I was a child because it made me feel calm. For instance, I always put my toys and books in order before going to bed so I could start the next day without clutter.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: state the routine clearly, use linking words, and avoid hesitations and double negatives. Give one or two specific actions you take and use correct verb forms.

Example: I keep my study space tidy by clearing my desk at the end of each study session. For example, I put books back on the shelf and sort stationery into a drawer so the desk never becomes cluttered.

Suggestion: Improve coherence: begin with a clear statement answering the question, then contrast different viewpoints using linking words (e.g., "however"), and end with your personal reason using clearer language. Avoid vague phrases like "agitated effect."

Example: It depends on the person: some people work well in a messy environment, while others need order. However, I believe being tidy is important for me because it reduces stress and helps me focus better.

× Yes, I'm more productive on things out and and organize and especially in my room because I don't feel well mentally when things are all over the place.

✓ Yes, I'm more productive when things are tidy and organized, especially in my room, because I don't feel well mentally when things are all over the place.

The original sentence uses awkward phrasing 'on things out and and organize' which misuses verb forms and word order. Use the present participle or adjective forms 'tidy' and 'organized' to describe the state of things. Replace 'on' with 'when' to introduce the condition. Also remove duplicate 'and'.

× However, there are all type of places where I can keep them a little bit messy, like my dressing.

✓ However, there are all types of places where I can keep them a little bit messy, like my dressing table.

'All type' is incorrect; the correct plural is 'all types' or 'many types'. Also 'dressing' alone is incomplete; the correct noun is 'dressing table'. Grammar problem type ID: 14

× Yes, I always prefer tidiness over messiness.

✓ Yes, I have always preferred tidiness over messiness.

The student uses simple present 'always prefer' which is acceptable but with 'since I was young' context later, present perfect 'have always preferred' is more appropriate to indicate a preference continuing from the past to the present. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× And since I was young actually, I have that trait in my personality where I love to keep things organized and tidy it up because that's where I feel more productive and more organized and I can start the day without the heaviness around me.

✓ Since I was young, I have had a trait in my personality: I love to keep things organized and tidy because that makes me feel more productive and allows me to start the day without feeling weighed down.

Original sentence is long and ungrammatical: 'tidy it up' is unnecessary and 'have that trait' should be 'have had a trait' to show continuity. Rephrase for clarity and correct verb forms: 'makes me feel' and 'allows me to start'. Grammar problem type ID: 26

× I feel more productive when things around me are tidy, especially my desk and it never gets really gets messed up because I always have my hand in it.

✓ I feel more productive when things around me are tidy, especially my desk, which never really gets messed up because I always have my hand in it.

The phrase 'never gets really gets messed up' has duplicated verbs and incorrect adverb placement. Use 'never really gets messed up' and connect clauses with 'which' to refer to the desk. Grammar problem type ID: 20

× Whenever I feel that's even when item it's not in its place, I try to put it back in the place 1 by 1 every time so it doesn't never it does never get messy.

✓ Whenever I notice that an item is not in its place, I try to put it back one by one so it never gets messy.

Original contains multiple errors: 'Whenever I feel that's even when item it's not in its place' is ungrammatical and missing clear verbs. Remove double negatives ('doesn't never it does never') and use 'never gets messy'. Use 'notice' to indicate becoming aware and 'one by one' for sequence. Grammar problem type ID: 23

× A different actor from one person to another.

✓ It differs from one person to another.

Original fragment 'A different actor' is incorrect and lacks proper pronoun/verb usage. Use the verb 'differs' and phrase 'from one person to another' to express variation between people. Grammar problem type ID: 12

× Some people can be productive whenever things are messy and others can't, so it's probably personal preferences.

✓ Some people can be productive when things are messy and others can't, so it's probably a matter of personal preference.

'Whenever' is awkward here; use 'when'. 'Personal preferences' should be singular abstract 'personal preference' or phrase 'a matter of personal preference'. Grammar problem type ID: 13

× However, for me, I try to keep things as tidy up as possible because that's agitated effect a lot a lot about my personality and the way I think in general.

✓ However, for me, I try to keep things as tidy as possible because that has a strong effect on my personality and the way I think in general.

Remove incorrect preposition 'tidy up' (use 'tidy as possible'), correct phrase 'agitated effect a lot a lot' to 'has a strong effect on'. Use 'effect on' not 'effect about'. Grammar problem type ID: 11}]}
