Tidiness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is natural and clear but a bit terse. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one brief supporting detail and a linking word to improve coherence. Avoid uncommon phrasing like "not in correct order" — use "out of order" or "messy."

Example: Yes, I do. I feel uncomfortable when my belongings are messy, so I tidy up regularly to reduce stress and save time when I need something.

Suggestion: Good use of past habits and a clear example. Improve by starting with a clearer topic sentence (e.g., "No, I didn't") and by tightening phrasing (avoid phrases like "keep my things well"). Use one linking word to connect the reason and result.

Example: No, I didn’t. My mother reminded me two or three times a day to tidy my room, which I found annoying, but because of that habit I became much neater when I went to boarding school.

Suggestion: Clear and specific methods are good. Improve coherence by using a linking word (e.g., "also" is fine) and choose more natural phrasing ("in a silver tin" or "in a cup") and correct minor grammar ("by arranging my textbooks in alphabetical order").

Example: I keep my study space tidy by arranging my textbooks in alphabetical order, and I also store sticky notes and highlighters in a small cup so I don’t misplace them.

Suggestion: Good idea and example, but there are some grammar and phrasing issues ("before performing," "go wandering around looking"). To be more effective, give a concise topic sentence, then a single clear example with tightened language and a linking word.

Example: Yes, definitely. Being tidy improves efficiency; for example, a surgeon arranges instruments before an operation so they don’t waste time searching for them.

× Without a doubt, when my things are all over the place or not in correct order, that agitates me.

✓ Without a doubt, when my things are all over the place or not in the correct order, that agitates me.

This sentence has an article omission error before 'correct order' which should be 'the correct order' to specify a particular state. This falls under article errors (ID 22). Add 'the' to make the noun phrase definite and match the intended meaning. Grammar Problem Type ID: 22

× I highly doubt that. My mother used to remind me about two to three times a day to clean my room.

✓ I highly doubt it. My mother used to remind me two or three times a day to clean my room.

'I highly doubt that' is not incorrect but 'I highly doubt it' is the more natural phrasing. Also 'about two to three times a day' is wordy and slightly awkward; 'two or three times a day' is clearer. This involves modal/phrase usage and minor quantifier wording (IDs 4 and 14) but primarily improves naturalness. Grammar Problem Type ID: 4

× I found that pestering and annoying, but it helped me in later years to keep my things well and my environment clean, especially when I went to boarding school.

✓ I found that pestering and annoying, but it helped me in later years to keep my things organized and my environment clean, especially when I went to boarding school.

The phrase 'keep my things well' is ungrammatical; use 'keep my things organized' or 'in order'. This is incorrect word choice and collocation, related to adjective/adverb use (ID 13) and sentence structure (ID 26). Replacing 'well' with 'organized' makes the meaning clear. Grammar Problem Type ID: 13

× I keep my study space tidy by putting my textbooks according to alphabetical order.

✓ I keep my study space tidy by arranging my textbooks in alphabetical order.

'Putting my textbooks according to alphabetical order' is awkward and uses an incorrect preposition. The natural phrasing is 'arranging my textbooks in alphabetical order.' This is a preposition error (ID 11) and word choice improvement. Grammar Problem Type ID: 11

× I also find placing my sticky notes and my highlighters in a silver can so that I don't misplace them.

✓ I also find placing my sticky notes and highlighters in a silver can helpful so that I don't misplace them.

The original sentence lacks a complement after 'find' and repeats 'my' unnecessarily. Add 'helpful' to complete the verb 'find' meaningfully and remove the second 'my' for concision. This is a sentence structure/article/completion issue (IDs 22 and 26). Grammar Problem Type ID: 22

× Without a doubt, tidiness improves efficiency.

✓ Without a doubt, tidiness improves efficiency.

This sentence is grammatically correct as written; no change needed. No applicable error from the provided list. Grammar Problem Type ID: 0

× For example, a surgeon before per performing a surgery puts his equipment and utensils properly so that he does not go wandering over looking for them during the surgery.

✓ For example, before performing surgery, a surgeon arranges his equipment and instruments properly so that he does not have to wander around looking for them during the operation.

Multiple issues: 'per performing' is incorrect (extra 'per'); 'a surgery' is less natural than 'surgery' in general; 'puts his equipment and utensils properly' is awkward—use 'arranges his equipment and instruments properly'; 'go wandering over looking' is ungrammatical—use 'have to wander around looking'. These are verb form, article, word choice, and sentence structure errors (IDs 9, 22, 13, 26). The correction fixes word forms and natural collocations. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
