News— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, and concise explanation. Keep length to max 3–4 sentences and use linking words (e.g., because, so) correctly. Replace vague phrases with specific reasons and avoid redundancy.

Example: Not really. I don’t follow the news much because I spend most of my time on work and studying, so I rarely have spare time. I sometimes skim headlines at the weekend to stay informed.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence stating how you find news, then give specific examples and a brief reason. Use correct names and avoid unclear comments (e.g., “mocking”). Use linking words like “mostly” or “sometimes.”

Example: I mostly get news online. I visit websites such as cctv.com and I also see short news clips on social media like TikTok and Bilibili. Occasionally I check a news app for headlines.

Suggestion: Give a clear yes/no answer, then explain your reason in one or two coherent sentences. Use correct vocabulary (e.g., ‘logical’ → ‘more analytical’) and job titles (‘program developer’ or ‘software developer’).

Example: No, I wouldn’t like to be a journalist because I prefer analytical work. I want to become a software developer, which suits my interest in logical problem-solving.

Suggestion: Give a complete, grammatical response. If referring to a specific story, summarize it briefly and clearly using linking words (e.g., ‘I heard that’, ‘as a result’). Avoid fragmented sentences.

Example: No, I haven't read the news this morning, but I heard there was a ceasefire between the US and Iran in some discussions. As a result, I heard that oil prices have started to fall.

Suggestion: Answer directly and provide a clear reason. Use correct negative structures and link ideas with words like ‘because’ and ‘so’. Be specific about what you discuss instead.

Example: No, we don't usually talk about the news because none of us are very interested in current events. We mostly talk about daily life topics like work, studies, and plans for the weekend.

× No, I have no interests in because I focus more on my work and study so that I usually don't have spare time to.

✓ No, I have no interest in news because I focus more on my work and studies, so I usually don't have spare time.

The phrase 'interests in' is incorrect here; use the noun 'interest in' (singular) to express lack of interest in a topic. 'Study' should be pluralized to 'studies' to refer to general academic work. Remove the extraneous 'to' at the end of the sentence and add 'news' as the object of 'interest in' for clarity. Use a comma before 'so' to join the clauses properly.

× I usually read news on websitessuchascctv.com or on social media like Tiktok and Billy Billy. Reading News Online is mocking.

✓ I usually read news on websites such as cctv.com or on social media like TikTok and Bilibili. Reading news online is common.

Combine 'websites such as cctv.com' with correct spacing and capitalization. 'Tiktok' and 'Billy Billy' are misspellings; correct names are 'TikTok' and 'Bilibili'. 'Reading News Online is mocking' is unclear and uses inappropriate word 'mocking'; replace with 'common' or another intended adjective. Also 'news' is uncountable so no article is needed.

× No, I'm not good at reporting news. What I want to do is logical. Call professional such as. Program Developer.

✓ No, I'm not good at reporting news. I prefer logical work; for example, becoming a professional program developer.

'What I want to do is logical' is awkward; use 'I prefer logical work' to express preference. Sentence fragments like 'Call professional such as. Program Developer.' lack structure; combine into a full phrase 'for example, becoming a professional program developer.' Also 'program developer' is not usually capitalized.

× No, but I heard that. American and Iran. Seize their fire. So that the price of oil is.

✓ No, but I heard that America and Iran agreed to cease fire, so the price of oil fell.

The original consists of fragments and incorrect verb forms. Combine fragments into a complete sentence with subject and verb. 'Seize their fire' is incorrect; the phrase should be 'cease fire' or 'agreed to a ceasefire'. Use past tense 'fell' if the event already affected oil prices. Clarify subject 'America and Iran' (use 'the United States and Iran' or 'America and Iran') and connect clauses with 'so' to show cause and effect.

× No, I really talk about news with my friend because we are not interested in. In current events, we focus more on daily life.

✓ No, I rarely talk about the news with my friends because we are not interested in current events; we focus more on daily life.

'Really' is likely a mistaken word; replace with 'rarely' to indicate infrequency. 'My friend' should be plural 'my friends' if referring generally. The phrase 'we are not interested in. In current events' is fragmented; combine to 'not interested in current events.' Use a semicolon or conjunction to connect the clauses. 'News' usually takes 'the' when specific: 'the news.'
