Mirrors— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct, use correct word order and simpler grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you like looking in the mirror, then give frequency and a brief reason. Avoid repetition and incorrect phrases like "look myself" or "reflex on the mirror." Use linking words such as "because" or "so" to connect ideas.

Example: I don't particularly enjoy looking at myself in the mirror, but I do it every morning before work because I like to check my appearance. For example, I make sure my hair and clothes look neat so I can feel confident during the day.

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid confusing or irrelevant remarks. Use correct possessive and tense ("my mother bought/has bought a mirror for me"). Give a clear reason why you haven't bought one and a short comment about using your mother's mirror. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and use linking words like "because" or "so."

Example: Not really. I use a mirror my mother bought for me because I don't have enough money to buy one myself. I enjoy using it every day because it shows my reflection clearly, even though it's not actually mine.

Suggestion: Be concise and use correct expressions for carrying and breaking ("space in my bag", "afraid of breaking it"). Give a brief clear reason and, if needed, one supporting detail. Avoid filler words and unclear sentences.

Example: No, I usually don't carry a mirror because there is no space in my bag and I'm afraid I might break it. Also, I don't feel I need one during the day, so I leave it at home.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer, then give clear reasons why mirrors are suitable for your room. Correct grammar ("I would/Do have mirrors"), and use linking words like "because","so". Avoid awkward phrases such as "the stair of another people" — probably meant "gaze of other people" or "others' view." Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I would use mirrors to decorate my room because they make the space look larger and I can check my appearance in private. Since my room is personal, I feel comfortable using mirrors there without worrying about other people's opinions.

× Actually, I don't like to look myself in the mirror, but I think that is necessary because I want to know how can I see myself.

✓ Actually, I don't like looking at myself in the mirror, but I think it is necessary because I want to know how I look.

Problems: incorrect verb pattern ('like to look myself' should be 'like looking at myself'), incorrect pronoun placement ('look myself' should be 'look at myself'), incorrect word order for indirect question ('how can I see myself' should be 'how I look' or 'how I can see myself' in a statement). Suggestion: use 'like + -ing' for general preferences and use 'look at myself' for the correct verb + preposition. For the reported idea use statement word order: 'how I look'. Grammar problem type ID:8

× Then I look at my my reflex on the mirror every day before to go off my work before.

✓ Then I look at my reflection in the mirror every day before I go to work.

Problems: duplicated word 'my my', wrong noun 'reflex' should be 'reflection', incorrect preposition 'on the mirror' should be 'in the mirror', wrong infinitive phrase 'before to go off my work before' should be 'before I go to work'. Suggestion: say 'look at my reflection in the mirror' and use 'before I go to work' for time clauses. Grammar problem type ID:11

× Not really, I always use the mirror that my mother's buy to me because she have money.

✓ Not really, I always use the mirror that my mother bought me because she has money.

Problems: wrong possessive 'mother's' used instead of 'my mother', incorrect verb tense and form 'buy to me' should be 'bought me', subject-verb agreement 'she have' should be 'she has'. Suggestion: use correct past form for completed action ('bought') and correct agreement with singular subject ('has'). Grammar problem type ID:5

× I don't have money yet but I enjoy the mirror that my mother buy.

✓ I don't have money yet, but I enjoy the mirror that my mother bought.

Problems: tense mismatch — present 'buy' should be past 'bought' because the buying already happened. Suggestion: use past tense for completed actions: 'my mother bought'. Grammar problem type ID:5

× Is is easy for me to look at my reflection on the mirror.

✓ It is easy for me to look at my reflection in the mirror.

Problems: typo 'Is is' should be 'It is', preposition 'on the mirror' should be 'in the mirror'. Suggestion: proofread for typos and use 'in the mirror' when referring to reflections. Grammar problem type ID:11

× You know I like it everyday but it's not my my piece of key.

✓ You know I like it every day, but it's not my key possession.

Problems: 'everyday' (adjective) vs 'every day' (adverbial phrase); duplicated 'my my'; awkward phrase 'piece of key' — use 'key possession' or 'important to me'. Suggestion: use 'every day' for frequency and choose idiomatic nouns like 'possession' or 'favorite thing'. Grammar problem type ID:13

× Actually, I never take a mirror with me because I don't have a space in my back and I am afraid to broke it.

✓ Actually, I never take a mirror with me because I don't have space in my backpack and I am afraid it will break.

Problems: 'a space in my back' is incorrect — use 'space in my backpack' or 'room in my bag'; 'afraid to broke it' uses wrong form — should be 'afraid it will break' or 'afraid of breaking it'. Suggestion: use 'be afraid of + -ing' or 'be afraid + that + will' constructions. Grammar problem type ID:11

× If I put my back, uh, in a ground or in a hard way because I need to work with my back, then I don't know.

✓ If I put it on the ground or in a rough place because I need to work with my back, then I'm not sure what will happen.

Problems: 'put my back' is incorrect — should refer to 'put the mirror' or 'put it'; 'in a ground' should be 'on the ground'; 'in a hard way' unclear — 'in a rough place' or 'on a hard surface'; missing result clause — use 'I'm not sure what will happen'. Suggestion: refer clearly to the object ('it' or 'the mirror') and use correct prepositions: 'on the ground'. Grammar problem type ID:26

× I don't uh, be a lot, uh, or very much.

✓ I don't use it much.

Problems: ungrammatical structure 'I don't be a lot' — auxiliary 'be' misused; redundancy. Suggestion: say 'I don't use it much' or 'I don't take it with me very often'. Grammar problem type ID:26

× Yes, of course I have mirrors to decorate and to use it in my room because it's my private space is my private room.

✓ Yes, of course I have mirrors to decorate and use in my room because it is my private space.

Problems: redundant 'to' before 'use it' — say 'use in my room'; repetition 'my private space is my private room' redundant. Suggestion: simplify to one clear statement and remove unnecessary pronoun 'it'. Grammar problem type ID:26

× I can't use my mirror without the glare or the stair of another people.

✓ I can't use my mirror because of the glare or the stares of other people.

Problems: 'without' wrong in context — should be 'because of' to indicate cause; 'stair' is wrong word — use 'stare' (or plural 'stares'); 'another people' incorrect — use 'other people'. Suggestion: use 'because of' and correct noun forms 'stares' and 'other people'. Grammar problem type ID:11

× Then I am free and happy in my room, looking at myself in the mirror, on the mirror.

✓ Then I am free and happy in my room, looking at myself in the mirror.

Problems: redundant phrase 'on the mirror' duplicates 'in the mirror'; preposition 'on' is incorrect here. Suggestion: keep only 'in the mirror' and avoid repeating the same idea. Grammar problem type ID:11
