Clothing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and give one specific supporting detail. Use linking words to connect ideas.

Example: I prefer a normcore style — simple T-shirts and jeans. I like this because they are comfortable and easy to care for, so I can dress quickly without worrying about upkeep.

Suggestion: Good clear opinion and reasons; improve grammar (subject–verb agreement) and add a linking phrase to show contrast or emphasis. Give one concrete example of a situation when casual clothes are better.

Example: I prefer comfortable clothes because they make me feel relaxed and more confident. For example, I wear a T-shirt and jeans for long commutes or casual meetings since they are practical and versatile.

Suggestion: Avoid vague phrases and repetition; make sentences natural and specific. Use linking words and correct small errors (remove extra words). Give a concrete instance of when you choose a T-shirt.

Example: Yes. Because I come from a tropical country, T-shirts are ideal — they keep me cool in hot weather. For instance, I often wear T-shirts when I run errands or relax at home.

Suggestion: Clear idea but make it more concise and add linking words. Explain one simple strategy you use to choose appropriate outfits to show specificity.

Example: Yes, I do. Because I want to avoid over- or under-dressing, I usually plan outfits the night before and choose neutral pieces that work for most events.

Suggestion: Good contrast between weekdays and weekends. Improve fluency by using linking words and correcting small phrasing issues; be slightly more specific about what 'presentable' means.

Example: Yes. On weekdays I wear professional clothes, such as blouses with trousers or a blazer, because I need to look presentable at work. On weekends I switch to basic tops and shorts to feel relaxed.

Suggestion: Avoid filler words and hesitations; state your preference clearly and give a reason. Provide one specific example of an outfit using the colours you prefer.

Example: My favorite colour is green, but for daily wear I prefer monochrome combinations like black and white because they look sleek and are easy to match. For example, I often wear a white shirt with black trousers or nude shoes.

× I prefer the norm core style.

✓ I prefer the normcore style.

'norm core' should be one word 'normcore' as a compound noun describing the fashion style. Using the single word is the conventional form and makes the sentence clearer.

× I I'm just a plain Jane and I like wearing a T-shirt pair with jeans.

✓ I'm just a plain Jane and I like wearing a T-shirt paired with jeans.

There is an extra 'I' and the phrase 'T-shirt pair with jeans' is ungrammatical. Remove the duplicate 'I' and use the past participle 'paired' to form the adjective phrase 'T-shirt paired with jeans'.

× Wearing comfortable clothes makes me relaxed and more confident.

✓ Wearing comfortable clothes makes me feel relaxed and more confident.

The verb 'makes' needs a complement; use 'feel' to express the resulting state. 'Makes me relaxed' is not wrong but 'makes me feel relaxed' is more natural and idiomatic.

× In fact, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans are practical and versatile.

✓ In fact, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans is practical and versatile.

The subject of the sentence is the gerund phrase 'wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans', which is singular, so the verb should be 'is' not 'are'.

× Coming from a tropical country, wearing T-shirts is one of the most comfortable clothing styles that you can wear.

✓ Coming from a tropical country, I find T-shirts to be one of the most comfortable clothing styles.

The original sentence has a dangling participle: 'Coming from a tropical country' should modify the speaker. Recast the sentence so the subject 'I' is explicit and use 'find ... to be' for clarity.

× You can use it when it wherever you go and especially whenever you just stay at home.

✓ You can wear them wherever you go, and especially when you stay at home.

Use 'wear' rather than 'use' for clothing. Remove the extra 'it' and use 'them' (plural) to refer to T-shirts. 'Wherever you go' is fine; use 'when you stay at home' instead of 'whenever you just stay at home' for conciseness.

× Yes I do because I really like to avoid over dressing or under dressing so I always try my best to look for an appropriate clothing style that I can use in every event.

✓ Yes, I do because I really like to avoid overdressing or underdressing, so I always try my best to choose an appropriate style of clothing for each event.

Add a comma after 'Yes'. 'Overdressing' and 'underdressing' are single words. 'Look for' is less appropriate than 'choose' here, and 'appropriate clothing style that I can use in every event' is awkward; 'an appropriate style of clothing for each event' is clearer.

× As an employee I'm obliged to wear presentable and professional looking style like for example coats and trousers.

✓ As an employee, I'm obliged to wear a presentable and professional-looking style, for example coats and trousers.

Add commas for clarity. Use the article 'a' before 'presentable'. Hyphenate 'professional-looking' as a compound adjective. 'Like for example' is redundant; use 'for example'.

× On the weekend I just wear any basic tops and shorts for me to feel relaxed and comfortable.

✓ On the weekend I just wear basic tops and shorts so I can feel relaxed and comfortable.

Remove 'any' which is awkward here and restructure 'for me to feel' to 'so I can feel' for natural English. 'Basic tops and shorts' is sufficient.

× My favorite color is green, but I don't find it sleek on my daily clothing style, so I prefer to have the combination of white and black.

✓ My favorite color is green, but I don't think it looks sleek in my daily clothing style, so I prefer a combination of white and black.

Use 'think it looks' rather than 'find it sleek'. 'In my daily clothing style' is more natural than 'on'. 'Prefer a combination' is better than 'prefer to have the combination of'.

× Umm, nude and black, Something like that.

✓ Umm, nude and black, something like that.

Capitalization: 'Something' should not be capitalized in the middle of the sentence. Combine into a single sentence fragment for conversational style.
