Tidiness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, explain why tidiness matters to you with one or two supporting reasons, and avoid contradictory phrases like “bad habits” without explanation. Use linking words (because, so, however) and keep responses to 2–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I like to keep things tidy because a neat environment helps me focus and feel calm. For example, when my desk is organized I can find things quickly, so I waste less time. However, I try not to be obsessive about it.

Suggestion: Answer directly and contrast past and present with clear linking words (used to, but now). Give one specific detail about how your habits changed. Keep sentences grammatically correct and concise.

Example: No, I didn’t use to keep my room tidy as a child because I was more interested in playing. But now I tidy it regularly because I study at home and need an organized space for work.

Suggestion: Be consistent and specific. Avoid repeating contradictions. Describe one or two concrete actions you take to keep your study space tidy (e.g., putting books away, wiping desk) and use linking words (for example, usually, sometimes). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I usually keep my study space tidy by putting books back on the shelf after I finish and clearing papers into a folder. Occasionally I wipe the desk once a week, especially before exams.

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion and support it with specific reasons and a brief example. Avoid unclear phrases like “anti people.” Use linking words (because, for example, therefore) and correct grammar (everyone has to be tidy).

Example: Yes, I think it is necessary to be tidy because it improves hygiene and makes it easier to find things. For example, a tidy kitchen reduces the risk of pests and helps cooking go smoothly.

× Yes, I like to keep things tidy because it is important in my life.

✓ Yes, I like to keep things tidy because it is important in my life.

No article error here; sentence is acceptable. No change needed.

× I clean everything every time.

✓ I clean everything all the time.

The phrase 'every time' is used to indicate each occasion; 'all the time' better conveys habitual frequency in this context. Use 'all the time' to express an ongoing habit.

× It is my bad habits in my opinion, many people think about it bad opinion.

✓ They are my bad habits, in my opinion; many people have a negative opinion about them.

Plural subject 'habits' requires plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are' (Grammar Problem Type 1 and 27). Also 'bad opinion' is unnatural; use 'negative opinion' and 'think about them' needs correct pronoun. Split into clearer clause with proper punctuation.

× No, I never keep tidy my room as a childhood because it is not important that time, but now it is really important thing every time I try to clean everywhere.

✓ No, I never kept my room tidy when I was a child because it was not important at that time, but now it is really important, so I try to clean everywhere.

Childhood reference requires past tense 'kept' not 'keep' (Grammar Problem Type 5). Use 'when I was a child' or 'in my childhood'; use 'at that time' for past time reference, and improve word order: 'kept my room tidy'. Add conjunction 'so' to link causes.

× No, I never keep tidy my room as a childhood because it is not important that time, but now it is really important thing every time I try to clean everywhere.

✓ No, I never kept my room tidy when I was a child because it was not important at that time, but now it is really important, so I try to clean everywhere.

Original has incorrect word order 'keep tidy my room' — correct order is 'keep my room tidy' or past 'kept my room tidy' (Grammar Problem Type 26). Also 'as a childhood' is incorrect; use 'when I was a child'.

× To be honest, I never clean my study space because I don't like cleaning so I never clean it.

✓ To be honest, I rarely clean my study space because I don't like cleaning, so I usually don't clean it.

Repetition of 'never' conflicts with later 'sometimes' in the next sentence; to be coherent and grammatical, use 'rarely' or 'usually don't' to match intended meaning. Also add a comma before 'so' to join clauses correctly (Grammar Problem Type 22/26).

× But I sometimes clean my study space but sometimes it is normal for me.

✓ Sometimes I clean my study space, and sometimes leaving it messy is normal for me.

Original repeats 'but' and is unclear. Use parallel structure 'sometimes..., and sometimes...' to contrast behaviors (Grammar Problem Type 26). Clarify 'normal' by specifying 'leaving it messy'.

× I think everyone have to be tidy.

✓ I think everyone has to be tidy.

The indefinite pronoun 'everyone' is singular and requires singular verb 'has' not 'have' (Grammar Problem Type 27). Use 'has to' to express obligation.

× It is important in our life.

✓ It is important in our lives.

Use plural 'lives' when referring to people generally (Grammar Problem Type 22). 'Our life' would refer to a single shared life, which is not intended.

× It is always neat.

✓ It is always neat.

Sentence is grammatical but could be clearer as 'My space is always neat' to specify subject. No grammatical correction required.

× For example, some people don't like anti people, so I want to be.

✓ For example, some people don't like unfriendly people, so I try to be friendly.

Phrase 'anti people' is not standard English; use 'unfriendly people'. 'I want to be' is incomplete—be what? Clarify intent: 'I try to be friendly.' This fixes vocabulary and completes the sentence (Grammar Problem Type 13 and 26).
