Mirrors— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Make the response more natural and grammatical: begin with a clear topic sentence, correct tense and articles, and avoid redundancy. Use one or two supporting details linked with a connector. Also keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I do like checking my appearance in the mirror. For example, every morning when I wake up and brush my teeth, I shave and make sure my face looks clean and presentable. I also glance at the mirror before leaving home to check my hair.

Sugestão: Improve grammar and cohesion: use correct verb forms (bought vs brought), split long run-on sentences into a clear topic sentence plus supporting details, and use linking words like because or so. Be concise and avoid repeating information.

Exemplo: No, I have never bought a mirror. Because I live in a college dormitory that already has a large mirror in the washroom, it would be unnecessary to purchase another one. As a graduate student, I also prefer to save money.

Sugestão: Clarify and correct language: use consistent pronouns and grammar (I never take a mirror with me). Use linking words (firstly, however) and give a concise reason and one brief drawback. Avoid vague phrases like "very really fragile."

Exemplo: No, I don't usually carry a mirror with me. Firstly, my smartphone's front camera works well as a mirror, so it is more convenient. However, the camera can be slow and is not as clear as a real mirror.

Sugestão: Make the answer more natural and grammatically correct: start with a direct statement, then give reasons with linking words. Use appropriate adjectives (embarrassed instead of embarrassing) and correct tense. Provide a brief contrast or alternative if possible.

Exemplo: No, I wouldn't use mirrors to decorate my room. I'm quite a shy person, and seeing my reflection often makes me feel embarrassed, especially when I'm alone. Instead, I prefer pictures or soft lighting as room decorations.

× Well, I would like to check my appearance in front of mirror.

✓ Well, I would like to check my appearance in front of the mirror.

The issue is not -ing form but article use: 'in front of mirror' needs the definite article 'the' before 'mirror' because it refers to a specific mirror. Also ensure natural phrasing by keeping present infinitive 'to check' unchanged.

× For example when I wake up and brush my teeth, I would have shave and check my face is clean enough.

✓ For example, when I wake up and brush my teeth, I shave and check that my face is clean enough.

Multiple errors: 'would have shave' is incorrect verb form and modal use. Use simple present 'shave' to match habitual action. Add 'that' after 'check' to introduce the clause. Also add commas for clarity.

× To be frank, I never brought mirrors since I'm a graduate student and I lived in the dormitory provided by the college and the private and the dormitory was equipped with a washroom and a big mirror was already installed on the wall, so it is unnecessary to buy an extra mirror.

✓ To be frank, I have never bought mirrors since I'm a graduate student and I live in a college dormitory that has a washroom and a large mirror already installed on the wall, so it is unnecessary to buy an extra mirror.

Errors: 'brought' is wrong past form; use present perfect 'have never bought' to describe experience up to now. 'Lived' should be present 'live' because situation continues. 'the private' is extraneous and unclear—remove. Use 'a college dormitory' and 'that has' for clause, and 'large' instead of 'big' for natural collocation.

× Well, to be honest, I never take mirrors by myself.

✓ Well, to be honest, I never take mirrors with me.

Use 'with me' instead of 'by myself' to express carrying an item. Present simple 'never take' is acceptable for habitual action; keep tense consistent.

× Firstly, it is unnecessary to take mirrors because we have our smartphones and you can use our front camera as a mirror.

✓ Firstly, it is unnecessary to take mirrors because we have our smartphones and can use their front camera as a mirror.

Pronoun consistency error: mix of 'you' and 'our' is confusing. Use 'we' and 'their' or 'our' consistently. 'Our smartphones' -> 'their front camera' would be odd; better: 'we have smartphones and can use their front cameras' or 'we have our smartphones and can use their front cameras.' Here corrected to 'can use their front camera' to match plural possessive. Also omitted redundant 'you'.

× Maybe there are some delays and some disadvantage, but I think it is more convenient and bring a mirror which is very really fragile.

✓ Maybe there are some delays and some disadvantages, but I think it is more convenient than bringing a mirror, which is very fragile.

Multiple issues: 'disadvantage' should be plural 'disadvantages'. Comparative structure needs 'more convenient than bringing a mirror'. 'bring' should be gerund 'bringing'. 'very really fragile' is incorrect—use 'very fragile' or 'really fragile' (not both).

× Well, I never tried to decorate my room with mirrors because I'm a shy person and I think seeing myself in the mirror can bring me a sense of embarrassing and maybe horrible when I was alone.

✓ Well, I have never tried to decorate my room with mirrors because I'm a shy person and I think seeing myself in the mirror makes me feel embarrassed and maybe even horrified when I am alone.

Tense and word choice errors: use present perfect 'have never tried' for life experience. 'bring me a sense of embarrassing' is incorrect—use 'makes me feel embarrassed'. 'maybe horrible' is wrong adjective choice and placement; use 'maybe even horrified'. Maintain present tense 'when I am alone' to match current state.
