List— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Shorten and clarify your response to one clear topic sentence followed by 1–2 supporting details; use linking words to connect ideas and correct small grammatical slips (e.g., 'reduce' → 'reducing'). Be specific about outcomes (how it helps budget and reduce waste) and avoid repetition (planning menu and listing ingredients overlap).

Ví dụ: Yes, I always make a shopping list because I plan my weekly menu to eat healthily. For example, by listing ingredients in advance I stick to my meal plan and avoid impulse buys, which saves money and reduces food waste.

Gợi ý: Start with a concise topic sentence, then add one concrete example of how lists improve your productivity. Use linking phrases like 'for example' or 'as a result' to show cause and effect and avoid vague phrases like 'all the details'.

Ví dụ: Yes, I make a weekly task list to stay organized. For example, by highlighting urgent tasks first I complete deadlines on time, and as a result my projects run more smoothly because I don't forget important steps.

Gợi ý: Be careful with word choice and grammar ('than they are worth', 'beneficial' instead of 'profitable'). State the main reason first, then give a brief example and a balanced conclusion. Avoid overgeneralizing and be sensitive when mentioning conditions like ADHD.

Ví dụ: Some people dislike making lists because they find them time-consuming and mentally tiring. For example, people with attention difficulties may struggle to keep lists updated; however, with simple tools like short checkboxes a list can still be helpful.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear topic sentence and then contrast the two choices using linking words ('for groceries... whereas for work...'). Improve grammar and phrasing ('less chances' → 'less likely') and keep it concise.

Ví dụ: It depends: for grocery lists I use my phone because I always have it with me, whereas for work I prefer paper lists since they stay visible on my desk and I'm less likely to forget tasks.

× Yes, I find it really helpful to make a list, especially since I'm planning the menu for the week because I'm trying to eat clean and then I make a list of ingredients I need to buy for all the food I'm going to make this week.

✓ Yes, I find it really helpful to make a list, especially since I'm planning the menu for the week because I'm trying to eat clean, so I make a list of the ingredients I need to buy for all the food I'm going to make this week.

Run-on sentence and awkward connective use: the original joins several clauses with 'and then', creating an awkward sequence. Replacing 'and then' with 'so' clarifies cause and effect. Also add 'the' before 'ingredients' for specificity. Use of present continuous 'I'm planning' and 'I'm trying' is correct for current plans, so keep them.

× It also helps with running the budget and reduce food waste.

✓ It also helps with running the budget and reducing food waste.

Parallel structure and gerund form: after 'helps with' both verbs should be in gerund (-ing) form to be parallel: 'running' and 'reducing'. 'reduce' (base form) is incorrect here.

× Yes, I usually make a list of all the tasks I have to complete once a week.

✓ Yes, I usually make a list of all the tasks I have to complete once a week.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No change required. (Kept for completeness.)

× It helps me to highlight the most urgent tasks and prioritize them before doing any other routine part of my job.

✓ It helps me highlight the most urgent tasks and prioritize them before doing any other routine part of my job.

'Helps me to highlight' is acceptable, but omitting 'to' with 'help' is more natural and concise in this context. No major grammatical error; this is a style improvement.

× It also helps me remember all the details about projects.

✓ It also helps me remember all the details about the projects.

Determiner use: if referring to specific projects the speaker is involved in, add 'the' to show specificity. If projects in general, original is acceptable; choose 'the projects' for clarity.

× I think for some people lists can be bothersome and require more mental load than they worth.

✓ I think for some people lists can be bothersome and require more mental load than they are worth.

Missing verb 'are' in comparative clause: the phrase 'than they are worth' completes the comparison. Without 'are' the sentence is ungrammatical.

× For example, for people with ADHD, listing things can be particularly challenging.

✓ For example, for people with ADHD, making lists can be particularly challenging.

Word choice and parallelism: 'listing things' is understandable but 'making lists' is more natural and parallel to earlier uses of 'make a list'. Both are grammatical, but the correction improves naturalness.

× However, I think it still can be profitable to them.

✓ However, I think it can still be beneficial to them.

Word choice and adverb placement: 'profitable to them' is odd for benefit of using lists; 'beneficial to them' fits meaning. Place adverb 'still' after modal verb 'can' for natural flow: 'can still be'.

× It depends on the list I'm making.

✓ It depends on the list I'm making.

Correct as written. Present continuous 'I'm making' correctly indicates current or general habit context.

× For example for grocery shopping list I would prefer my phone because I always carry it with me and for the job related stuff I prefer paper list because I can always keep it before my eyes, meaning there are less chances I forget to look at it.

✓ For example, for a grocery shopping list I would prefer my phone because I always carry it with me, and for job-related stuff I prefer a paper list because I can keep it in front of my eyes, meaning there is less chance I will forget to look at it.

Multiple issues corrected: add articles 'a' before 'grocery shopping list' and 'paper list'; hyphenate 'job-related' as compound adjective; change 'before my eyes' to 'in front of my eyes' for naturalness; 'there are less chances I forget' is ungrammatical and unidiomatic—use 'there is less chance I will forget' or 'I am less likely to forget'. Use future 'will forget' to match likelihood. Also add commas for clarity.
