Do you make a list when you shop?
Candidato
I sometimes make a list when I shop. It depends on what I plan to buy. For example, when I want to buy some groceries in the supermarket, I prefer making a list. However, when I only need to buy one or two simple items such as like a book or a phone, then I won't make a list. Overall, I think making a list is quite useful.

Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
Candidato
Yeah I do and it works for me since there are lots of deadlines for different projects but can list makes them easier for me to prioritise the work. Its easier to arrange my time when I know which one is in origins, which one is not you know. It also feels so good and satisfying when you cross a line on the task you have done. In the future I will continue using.

Why don't some people like making lists?
Candidato
Because there are different kinds of people in the world, people's learning parents are different, as well as their shopping or working or memorizing habits. Maybe some of them prefer using our words to sort things out, like randomly writing down things on their hands. That's one way of my colleague used to do. Or maybe some rather like taking pictures to memorize things or simply jotting down notes on their calendar. In short, it takes all sorts to make a word.

Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Candidato
I make lists on both. For work, I mainly make a list on paper, which reminds me all the time whenever I see the note. What's more, it prevents me from using the phone all the time during at work, which gives people a not professional impression. On the other hand, I make the list on my phone while I need to bring some work back home and remind myself some personal stuff like banking when to pay the fee.

Pontuação: 75.0Sugestão: Your answer is generally clear and relevant, but you can improve by avoiding redundancy and using more precise linking words to enhance coherence. For example, instead of repeating 'when I want to buy' and 'when I only need to buy', you can use linking phrases like 'in contrast' or 'on the other hand' to make your answer more natural and effective.

Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Your answer is relevant but can be improved by correcting grammar and sentence structure, and by using clearer linking words. Also, avoid awkward phrases like 'gives people a not professional impression' and use more natural expressions.
Exemplo: I use both paper and phone to make lists. For work, I prefer paper lists because I see them often and it helps me avoid using my phone too much, which might seem unprofessional. However, I use my phone to make lists for tasks I need to do at home, like paying bills or personal errands.
× I prefer making a list.
✓ I prefer to make a list.
The verb 'prefer' is commonly followed by the infinitive form 'to make' rather than the gerund 'making' in this context. Using 'to make' sounds more natural and grammatically correct in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× such as like a book or a phone
✓ such as a book or a phone
The phrase 'such as' already means 'for example', so adding 'like' is redundant and incorrect. Use either 'such as' or 'like' but not both together in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× but can list makes them easier for me to prioritise the work.
✓ but lists make it easier for me to prioritise the work.
The original sentence has incorrect word order and subject-verb agreement. 'Can list makes' is incorrect; it should be 'lists make' to agree with the plural subject and correct sentence structure in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× Its easier to arrange my time when I know which one is in origins, which one is not you know.
✓ It's easier to arrange my time when I know which one is urgent and which one is not, you know.
'Its' should be 'It's' (it is). The phrase 'in origins' is incorrect; likely intended 'urgent'. Also, adding commas improves clarity. Correct pronoun contraction and word choice are important in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× In the future I will continue using.
✓ In the future, I will continue using it.
The sentence is incomplete; 'using' needs an object. Adding 'it' clarifies what will be continued. Also, a comma after 'In the future' improves readability in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× people's learning parents are different, as well as their shopping or working or memorizing habits.
✓ people's learning patterns are different, as well as their shopping, working, or memorizing habits.
'Learning parents' is incorrect; the intended phrase is 'learning patterns'. Also, commas are needed to separate items in a list for clarity in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× Maybe some of them prefer using our words to sort things out, like randomly writing down things on their hands.
✓ Maybe some of them prefer using their own words to sort things out, like randomly writing things down on their hands.
'Our words' should be 'their own words' to correctly refer to the people mentioned. Also, 'writing down things' is better as 'writing things down' for natural word order in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× That's one way of my colleague used to do.
✓ That's one way my colleague used to do things.
The phrase 'one way of my colleague used to do' is ungrammatical. It should be 'one way my colleague used to do things' to be correct and clear in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× In short, it takes all sorts to make a word.
✓ In short, it takes all sorts to make a world.
The phrase 'make a word' is incorrect; the correct idiom is 'make a world'. This is a fixed expression in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× which reminds me all the time whenever I see the note.
✓ which reminds me all the time whenever I see the note.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no correction needed.
× it prevents me from using the phone all the time during at work, which gives people a not professional impression.
✓ it prevents me from using the phone all the time at work, which gives people an unprofessional impression.
The phrase 'during at work' is incorrect; 'at work' is sufficient. Also, 'a not professional impression' should be 'an unprofessional impression' for correct article and adjective use in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
× I make the list on my phone while I need to bring some work back home and remind myself some personal stuff like banking when to pay the fee.
✓ I make the list on my phone when I need to bring some work back home and remind myself of some personal stuff like banking, such as when to pay the fee.
'While' is better replaced by 'when' to indicate time. Also, 'remind myself some personal stuff' should be 'remind myself of some personal stuff'. Adding 'such as' clarifies the example. These corrections improve preposition and sentence clarity in English (Hong Kong SAR China).
