Tidiness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Clarify meaning, correct misuse of phrases, and make sentences coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid unclear phrases like "keep my face tidy" and fragmented clauses. Focus on accuracy and natural collocations (e.g., "keep things tidy", "keep my space tidy", "books scattered").

Example: Yes, I like to keep things tidy because a neat environment makes me feel comfortable. However, I'm not always consistent; for example, my desk often becomes cluttered with books and papers. Because of that, I try to spend ten minutes each evening putting items back in their place so my room looks orderly.

Suggestion: Improve grammar (past habits: 'used to' and negative form 'didn't use to'), and make meaning clear. Provide a clear topic sentence, then add a specific supporting detail with a linking word. Replace unclear phrase 'thanks to my messages' with the intended cause (e.g., 'my mother's help' or 'my parents').

Example: No, I didn't use to. When I was a child my mother always cleaned my room, so I rarely tidied up by myself. As a result, I only learned to keep things organized later, when I moved out and had to manage my own space.

Suggestion: Be concise and use correct collocations (e.g., 'keep my desk tidy', 'a tidy environment'). Use linking words to connect cause and effect (e.g., 'because', 'so'). Remove filler words ('uh, well') and correct redundancy. Give one or two specific strategies you use (e.g., organizing supplies, regular cleaning).

Example: I usually keep my desk tidy by putting stationery in a drawer and clearing papers at the end of each day. Because a tidy workspace reduces distractions, I can concentrate better and work more efficiently.

Suggestion: Provide a clear opinion with coherent supporting reasons and specific examples. Avoid vague pronouns and awkward phrases like 'which can make free'. Use linking words (e.g., 'because', 'for example', 'therefore') and explain effects of tidiness on productivity or mood. Keep to 2–3 sentences max.

Example: Yes, I think being tidy is necessary because it helps people feel relaxed and reduces stress. For example, when my study area is organized I can find materials quickly and stay focused, so I complete tasks faster and with less anxiety.

× Yes, I like it because it makes me feel comfortable.

✓ Yes, I like keeping things tidy because it makes me feel comfortable.

The pronoun 'it' is vague here; use 'keeping things tidy' to clearly refer to the action mentioned in the question and match the context. This improves clarity and cohesion.

× However, I'm not consistent.

✓ However, I am not consistent in keeping things tidy.

Add the phrase 'in keeping things tidy' to show what the speaker is not consistent about; otherwise the sentence is incomplete in context.

× It is difficult to keep my face tidy.

✓ It is difficult to keep my space/room tidy.

'Keep my face tidy' is incorrect in this context; likely the speaker meant 'space' or 'room'. Replace with the appropriate noun to match meaning.

× I suppose that there are a lot of little and takes the books in my house.

✓ I suppose that there are a lot of little things and scattered books in my house.

The original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear. Replace 'little and takes the books' with 'little things and scattered books' to convey the intended meaning and correct sentence structure.

× No I didn't.

✓ No, I didn't.

Add a comma after 'No' for correct punctuation in speech; grammatically the sentence is fine otherwise.

× When I was a child my mother used to clean up my room.

✓ When I was a child, my mother used to clean my room.

'Clean up' is acceptable but 'clean' is more natural here. Also add a comma after the subordinate clause for clarity.

× So I didn't used to clean my own room, but thanks to my messages kept clean.

✓ So I didn't use to clean my own room, but thanks to my messages, it stayed clean.

Use 'didn't use to' (base form after did) not 'didn't used to'. The second clause is unclear: change to 'it stayed clean' to show the room remained clean; add commas for clarity.

× Uh, well, I often clean up my study desk because it is important to keep tidy on my desk.

✓ I often clean my study desk because it is important to keep my desk tidy.

Place adverbs and objects correctly: 'clean my study desk' and 'keep my desk tidy' are natural word orders. Remove redundant 'on my desk'.

× Uh, the atmosphere of tidy can allow me to focus on my tasks because there would be there will be no disruptions.

✓ A tidy atmosphere allows me to focus on my tasks because there will be no disruptions.

Use 'a tidy atmosphere' (not 'the atmosphere of tidy'). Use simple present 'allows' to state a general truth and 'there will be no disruptions' (remove redundant 'would be there will be').

× Yes, I think so, because which can make free, it can make people feel relaxed and stay calm.

✓ Yes, I think so, because being tidy can make people feel free, relaxed, and calm.

Replace vague 'which can make free' with 'being tidy can make people feel free'. Use parallel adjectives 'free, relaxed, and calm' and correct clause structure.

× It is important to do anything, for instance, if some people do work, the tidy atmosphere.

✓ It is important for doing anything; for instance, when people work, a tidy atmosphere helps them concentrate.

Original sentence fragments and awkward clauses; restructure to show cause and effect: 'a tidy atmosphere helps them concentrate' completes the thought and fits context.
