List— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you make shopping lists, then give one or two specific reasons or an example using linking words. Avoid repetition and filler words like 'uh'.

Exemplo: No, I usually don't make a shopping list, although I know it would help. Recently I'm trying to change this habit because I often forget small items; for example, last week I went back to the store twice to buy milk and bread.

Sugestão: Provide a clear topic sentence and finish your supporting detail without trailing off. Use linking words to connect reason and example, and avoid awkward phrasing. Be specific about how lists help your work.

Exemplo: Yes, I always make lists for work because I have strict deadlines as a lawyer. For instance, lists help me prioritize court dates and filings, so I rarely miss deadlines and can avoid serious consequences like fines or criminal liability.

Sugestão: Begin with a general answer about people, then give your personal example. Clarify awkward phrases (e.g. 'I have self-confidence' is unclear) and use linking words. Be specific about reasons and avoid grammatical errors.

Exemplo: Some people dislike making lists because they find them time-consuming and unnecessary. For example, I avoid lists myself because I trust my memory and prefer to act spontaneously, so I feel making a list wastes time.

Sugestão: Answer directly and give a concise reason with one brief example or detail. Avoid repeating the same idea and informal labels like 'boomer'. Use clearer phrasing such as 'I prefer paper because...'.

Exemplo: I prefer to make lists on paper because I find writing by hand helps me remember tasks better. For example, I keep a small notebook in my bag where I tick off items as I complete them.

× No, actually I don't make a list, but I should.

✓ No, actually I don't make a list, but I should.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable in present tense; no change needed. Keep present simple for habitual actions and modal 'should' for advice.

× I should make a list, I know that, but still, uh, I don't do that, but I'm trying to change this behavior about me.

✓ I should make a list, I know that, but still I don't do it; I'm trying to change this behavior.

Replace the pronoun 'that' with 'it' for clarity and remove unnecessary 'about me'. Use a semicolon or conjunction to connect clauses. This keeps present habitual and present continuous ('I'm trying') correct.

× If I can, I will let you know.

✓ If I can, I will let you know.

This conditional sentence is correct: present ability 'can' in the if-clause and future 'will' in the main clause. No change needed.

× Oh yeah, I definitely make a list when I'm working because I'm a lawyer and I have some deadlines and if I missed some of them it would cost a lot to me.

✓ Oh yeah, I definitely make a list when I'm working because I'm a lawyer and I have some deadlines, and if I missed some of them it would cost me a lot.

Change word order 'cost a lot to me' to the correct collocation 'cost me a lot'. Keep tense: present habits and conditional past in 'if I missed... it would' is acceptable for hypothetical situations.

× For example, personally I can go to a jail or economically I might have to pay for my.

✓ For example, personally I could go to jail, or economically I might have to pay a lot.

Use 'could' for a possible personal consequence; 'go to jail' does not need 'a'. 'Pay for my' is incomplete—replace with 'pay a lot' or 'pay a large fine'. This fixes article use and completes the idea.

× Why don't they like making this?

✓ Why don't they like making lists?

The demonstrative 'this' is vague; use 'lists' to match the question topic. Maintain plural 'they' and plural 'lists' for agreement.

× First of all, I'm one of them.

✓ First of all, I'm one of them.

This sentence is correct as a present-tense statement of identity; no change required.

× Because it takes too long and I have self-confidence.

✓ Because it takes too long and I lack self-confidence.

Saying 'I have self-confidence' contradicts 'it takes too long' as a reason for disliking lists. The intended meaning is likely the opposite: 'I lack self-confidence'. Use 'lack' to express absence of confidence.

× I know it's unnecessary mostly, but still I don't like to spend my time on a making list.

✓ I know it's mostly unnecessary, but still I don't like to spend my time making a list.

Move adverb 'mostly' before adjective 'unnecessary' for natural order. Remove 'a' before 'making list' and eliminate 'on'—use 'spend time making' + noun. This corrects article and preposition misuse.

× I prefer to make a list on a paper because I'm an old-fashioned person and I like writing something on a paper.

✓ I prefer to make a list on paper because I'm old-fashioned and I like writing on paper.

Use 'on paper' not 'on a paper'. 'Old-fashioned' does not need 'an' before it when used as an adjective after 'I'm'. 'Writing on paper' is idiomatic; remove extra 'something'.

× You can say I'm a boomer, but I prefer I'm an old-fashioned.

✓ You can say I'm a boomer, but I prefer to say I'm old-fashioned.

The phrase 'I prefer I'm an old-fashioned' is ungrammatical. Use 'I prefer to say I'm old-fashioned' or 'I prefer being called old-fashioned'. Also 'old-fashioned' functions as adjective, not a noun phrase with 'an'.
