Clothing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details (types, occasions or examples). Avoid redundancy and correct subject-verb agreement (e.g., “show” not “shows”). Use one linking phrase to connect ideas.

Example: I prefer clothes that make me feel comfortable and confident. For example, I often choose well-fitted casual outfits like a nice pair of jeans and a tailored shirt because they flatter my figure and reflect my personal style.

Suggestion: Good direct response but can be tightened and made more natural. Remove unnecessary fillers (“actually”, “attending to”) and avoid repeating “work”. Use a linking phrase to explain reason briefly.

Example: It depends on the occasion, but for everyday life I prefer comfortable, casual clothes. Because they are less restrictive, I can concentrate better and be more productive during the day.

Suggestion: This answer has grammatical errors and unclear references (“her T-shirt”, “this wardrobe”). Give a direct topic sentence about T-shirts, then one clear example or reason. Keep it concise and correct pronouns.

Example: Yes, I like wearing T-shirts because they are comfortable and easy to style. For example, I often wear a plain T-shirt with jeans when I hang out with friends because it looks relaxed but tidy.

Suggestion: Answer is relevant but wordy and slightly repetitive (“now” twice). Start with a brief direct answer, then give a specific reason and an example of what you consider when choosing clothes.

Example: Yes, I do spend more time choosing clothes now because we don’t wear uniforms during the summer term. For instance, I pick outfits that are cool for the heat and still look neat for classes and presentations.

Suggestion: The response is on the right track but repetitive (“depending on” thrice) and a bit long. Provide one concise topic sentence and then two specific factors with a linking word. Correct the ending phrase (“activity I am” -> “activity I’m doing”).

Example: Yes, I usually wear different styles on weekdays and weekends. For example, on weekdays I dress smart-casual for classes, whereas at the weekend I often wear comfortable loungewear at home or casual clothes if I go out.

Suggestion: Make your personal preference clearer and use correct phrasing (“the majority would say they prefer neutral colours”). Give one or two specific colours you like and a brief reason or example to support it.

Example: Many people prefer neutral colours like white, black and brown, but I like more variety. For instance, I often choose navy and olive for everyday outfits because they’re versatile, and occasionally wear brighter colours like mustard to add interest.

× I'm into clothes that really shows my assets and really portrays who I am.

✓ I'm into clothes that really show my assets and really portray who I am.

The relative clause refers to 'clothes' (plural), so verbs must be base form without -s for third person singular. Use 'show' and 'portray' to agree with plural subject 'clothes'. Suggestion: Identify the subject of the clause (singular or plural) and use the appropriate verb form.

× it actually depends on the event or the occasion I'm attending to,

✓ it actually depends on the event or the occasion I'm attending,

The verb 'attend' is transitive and does not take the preposition 'to' when followed by its object. Saying 'attending to' means 'taking care of', which changes the meaning. Remove 'to'. Suggestion: Use 'attend' + object (attend a meeting), not 'attend to' unless meaning 'look after'.

× as this allows me to work more effectively and to work at my best.

✓ as this allows me to work more effectively and to perform at my best.

While 'works' agreement is fine for 'allows', 'work at my best' is idiomatic but 'perform at my best' is clearer. Not strictly a third-person error, but improving verb choice maintains correct subject-verb structure. Suggestion: Use idiomatic collocations like 'perform at my best'.

× I do like her T-shirt as this wardrobe makes me feel comfortable just by hanging out with friends or when I want to.

✓ I do like that T-shirt as it makes me feel comfortable when I'm just hanging out with friends or whenever I want to.

'Her T-shirt' implies someone else; context likely means 'that T-shirt' or 'my T-shirt'. 'This wardrobe' is vague; use 'it' to refer to the T-shirt. Also improve clause ordering and verb forms: 'when I'm just hanging out' and 'whenever I want to' are clearer. Suggestion: Ensure pronouns correctly refer to the intended noun and use consistent clause structure.

× we are not required to wear uniforms but rather wear clothes or civilian clothes.

✓ we are not required to wear uniforms but rather to wear civilian clothes.

Redundant 'clothes or civilian clothes' is awkward; 'civilian clothes' suffices. Also maintain parallel infinitive form: 'to wear'. Suggestion: Keep parallel structure and avoid redundancy.

× Now I do spend a lot of time choosing clothes because I want to look presentable always.

✓ Now I do spend a lot of time choosing clothes because I always want to look presentable.

Adverb 'always' is better placed before the main verb or before adjective phrase: 'always want' or 'look always presentable' (unnatural). Placing it at end sounds awkward in English. Suggestion: Place frequency adverbs (always, often) before the main verb or after auxiliary verbs.

× I do not always go outside during weekends because I prefer spending my personal time or my time away from academics at home.

✓ I do not always go out on weekends because I prefer to spend my personal time away from academics at home.

Use 'go out' instead of 'go outside' for social outings; use 'on weekends' not 'during weekends'. Use infinitive 'to spend' for preference and remove redundant phrase 'my time'. Suggestion: Use common collocations ('go out', 'on weekends') and avoid redundancy.

× But yes, I do wear different styles of clothes depending on my mood, depending on the weather and depending on the activity I am.

✓ But yes, I do wear different styles of clothes depending on my mood, the weather, and the activity I am doing.

The phrase 'the activity I am' is incomplete; needs a present participle 'doing'. Also streamline repeated 'depending on' to parallel items. Use 'the weather' not 'depending on the weather' repeated. Suggestion: Complete clauses with appropriate verb forms and keep parallel lists concise.

× I think majority would say to bear neutral colors like white, black, brown etcetera.

✓ I think the majority would say to prefer neutral colors like white, black, and brown.

Use 'the majority' with 'the' and the verb 'prefer' fits meaning better than 'bear'. Also list conjunctions require 'and' before final item. 'Etcetera' is unnecessary in speech; use 'and so on' only if needed. Suggestion: Use 'the majority' and select an appropriate verb ('prefer') and include 'and' in lists.

× But for me I want to have a variation in my clothing.

✓ But for me, I like to have variety in my clothing.

'Variation' is grammatically okay but 'variety' is more natural. Also add comma after introductory phrase. 'I want to have a variation in my clothing' is wordy; 'I like to have variety' is concise. Suggestion: Use natural collocations ('have variety') and concise phrasing.
