List— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear and relevant with good reasons and an example. To improve, shorten slightly to avoid minor redundancy, use one linking phrase, and include a concise topic sentence plus a specific example (e.g., items or situation). Aim for varied vocabulary (e.g., ‘prevent impulse purchases’).

Ejemplo: I usually make a shopping list because it helps me shop efficiently. For instance, last weekend I listed essentials like milk and rice, which prevented impulse purchases and saved me both time and money.

Sugerencia: Good structure with a clear topic sentence and result, but there are grammar errors and some awkward phrasing. Improve by correcting articles and word order, using a linking word, and giving one specific example of a task completed because of the list.

Ejemplo: Yes, I make a to-do list for my studies every morning, and it helps me stay organized. For example, yesterday I scheduled reading, problem sets and revision, and I managed to finish three out of four tasks by evening.

Sugerencia: Content is relevant but contains a mistake (‘making risks’). Improve vocabulary accuracy, simplify the explanation, and use a linking word to show cause and effect. Provide a specific example of someone who prefers flexibility and why.

Ejemplo: Some people avoid making lists because they fear failing to complete everything. Consequently, they prefer a flexible approach — for instance, a friend of mine works task-by-task to avoid feeling stressed if plans change.

Sugerencia: Strong, fluent answer with clear reasons and benefits. To refine, omit redundant phrases, use one cohesive linking word, and give a brief concrete example of how phone lists help (e.g., reminders, syncing). Use varied vocabulary (e.g., ‘sync’, ‘set reminders’).

Ejemplo: I prefer making to-do lists on my smartphone because I can access and sync them anywhere. For example, I set reminders for deadlines and add tasks on the go, which keeps my study routine on track.

× Yes, I often make a list when I shop because it helps me shop more efficiently.

✓ Yes, I often make a list when I shop because it helps me shop more efficiently.

No correction needed. Sentence is grammatically correct and uses present simple appropriately for habitual actions.

× For example, if I don't make a list, I sometimes buy something that I don't need or I waste time deciding what to get.

✓ For example, if I don't make a list, I sometimes buy things that I don't need or waste time deciding what to get.

Plural and redundancy: 'something' is acceptable but 'things' matches the idea of multiple possible unnecessary items (Grammar Problem Type 1 Singular and plural issue). Also remove redundant subject 'I' before 'waste' because it's coordinated with the previous clause; keeping it is not ungrammatical but concise wording improves clarity.

× So making a list helps me save both money and time.

✓ So making a list helps me save both money and time.

No correction needed. Sentence is correct.

× I make A to do list for my studies in the morning.

✓ I make a to-do list for my studies in the morning.

Use of article: 'A' should be lowercase 'a' and 'to do' should be hyphenated as 'to-do' when used as a compound noun modifying 'list' (Grammar Problem Type 22 Article errors and 26 Sentence structure errors). Suggestion: write 'a to-do list'.

× I write it and it helps me stay organized and complete most of the tasks by the end of the day.

✓ I write it down, and it helps me stay organized and complete most of the tasks by the end of the day.

Missing particle: 'write it' is understandable but more natural as 'write it down'. Also add a comma before 'and' joining two independent clauses for clarity (Grammar Problem Type 26 Sentence structure errors).

× So I think making a list is important for me to work on as many as tasks.

✓ So I think making a list is important for me to work on as many tasks as possible.

Incorrect quantifier and word order: 'as many as tasks' is ungrammatical. Use 'as many tasks as possible' or 'as many tasks as I can'. This fixes quantifier placement and meaning (Grammar Problem Type 14 Incorrect use of quantifiers).

× I think some people don't like making risks because they worry they won't be able to finish all the tasks by the end of the day, and if they don't complete the tasks, they might feel discouraged or stressed.

✓ I think some people don't like taking risks because they worry they won't be able to finish all the tasks by the end of the day, and if they don't complete the tasks, they might feel discouraged or stressed.

Collocation error: 'making risks' is incorrect; the correct collocation is 'taking risks' (closest category: 26 Sentence structure errors and 13 Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs). Suggestion: use common collocations: 'take risks'.

× So some people prefer to work more flexibly so that they don't get too much pressure on it.

✓ So some people prefer to work more flexibly so that they don't feel too much pressure.

Preposition and phrasing: 'get too much pressure on it' is awkward. Use 'feel too much pressure' or 'be under too much pressure'. This corrects preposition and natural expression (Grammar Problem Type 11 Incorrect use of prepositions).

× I prefer making A to do list on my smartphone because I can access it anytime, anywhere, which helps me stay organized.

✓ I prefer making a to-do list on my smartphone because I can access it anytime, anywhere, which helps me stay organized.

Article and hyphenation: 'A' should be lowercase 'a' and 'to do' should be hyphenated as 'to-do' when used as a compound noun (Grammar Problem Type 22 Article errors).

× This convenience improves my study efficiency since I can add or review the items on the To Do List.

✓ This convenience improves my study efficiency since I can add to or review the items on the to-do list.

Preposition and hyphenation: use 'add to' when adding items to a list, and hyphenate 'to-do list'. Also use consistent casing 'to-do list' rather than 'To Do List' (Grammar Problem Type 11 Incorrect use of prepositions and 22 Article errors).
