Art— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Good answer: clear topic sentence, relevant details and examples. To improve further, make sentences slightly shorter and more natural, correct small grammar slips (e.g. "as practicing" → "because practising"), and use a linking word to join reasons smoothly. Also vary vocabulary a bit (e.g. "relax" → "decompress", "improve" → "develop").

Ejemplo: I do like drawing because it helps me decompress and express ideas visually. For example, I often sketch scenes from nature after work to unwind. Moreover, practising techniques such as shading and perspective has helped me develop my skills steadily.

Sugerencia: Strong response with clear reason and a specific example. To reach an even higher band, add a brief linking phrase to connect the example to the main point and include a tiny extra detail (when or what specifically inspired you). Avoid passive phrasing like "visiting... helped me" — make it active and personal.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy visiting art galleries because they offer a quiet place to appreciate creativity and learn about styles. For example, a recent visit to a contemporary gallery last month showed me how artists use colour in abstract pieces, which directly inspired a series of sketches I made afterwards.

Sugerencia: Reasonable answer with good intentions, but there are phrasing and grammar problems ("absolutely like" → "definitely want", "staying modern art movement" is unclear). Be specific about what you want to learn (history, techniques, movements) and use linking words to show cause and effect. Keep to four or five concise sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I definitely want to learn more about art because it helps me understand other cultures and express feelings through different media. For instance, studying the Modern art movement would inspire new project ideas and deepen my appreciation when I visit galleries.

Sugerencia: Good content with personal detail, but there are tense and grammar issues (mix of past and present, punctuation). Use past tense consistently for childhood experiences, make sentences more concise, and add a linking word to connect teacher and parents' influence. Also give one specific memory or activity to make it more vivid.

Ejemplo: Yes, I learned drawing as a child. My primary school teacher was great at sketching and taught me basic colouring and simple sketches, and my parents encouraged me by buying sketchbooks and crayons. As a result, I started practising every weekend and still sketch from memory today.

× On top of that, I find it satisfying to improve my skills over time as practicing different techniques like shading and perspective gives me a sense of progress.

✓ On top of that, I find it satisfying to improve my skills over time, as practising different techniques like shading and perspective gives me a sense of progress.

The issue is with the verb + -ing form usage. In this context 'practising' (UK/Australian spelling) correctly functions as a gerund showing the means by which skills improve. A comma before 'as' improves clarity. Suggested improvement: use 'practising' and add a comma to separate clauses.

× For example, staying modern art movement could inspire my own projects and improve my appreciation of galleries and museums.

✓ For example, studying the modern art movement could inspire my own projects and improve my appreciation of galleries and museums.

The original uses 'staying', the present participle, which is incorrect here. The intended meaning is to engage with or learn about the modern art movement, so the verb 'studying' (present participle) or the infinitive 'to study' is appropriate. Use 'the modern art movement' to include the definite article for a specific movement.

× My primary school teacher who was very good at sketching, helps me with basic coloring and sketches, and my parents also encouraged me a lot by buying sketchbooks and crayons.

✓ My primary school teacher, who was very good at sketching, helped me with basic colouring and sketches, and my parents also encouraged me a lot by buying sketchbooks and crayons.

The sentence mixes past and present verbs. The context asks about childhood, so past tense is required. 'Helps' is present; it should be the past participle form 'helped' (simple past) to match 'did learn' and 'encouraged'. Also commas are needed around the non-restrictive clause. Use Australian spelling 'colouring'. Suggested improvement: keep verbs in past tense for past events and punctuate the relative clause with commas.
