Friends— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and accurate. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid filler hesitations, and give one or two specific details. Use linking words for clarity.

Ví dụ: Yes. I have several childhood friends whom I still see regularly. For example, I meet one friend every month to play football and catch up, which helps us maintain our close bond.

Gợi ý: Structure the answer with a clear topic sentence followed by linked specific examples. Reduce repetition (e.g., 'shopping at a shopping mall') and vary vocabulary.

Ví dụ: Usually we walk in the park at weekends to enjoy nature, and during holidays we go to a mall to shop. Also, when I'm stressed, I often meet a friend for coffee to talk and relax.

Gợi ý: Be more grammatical and concise. Use one clear topic sentence and then give specific activities. Remove fillers and correct collocations (e.g., 'have dessert', 'in the library' is fine but many libraries don't allow food—clarify if it's a cafe).

Ví dụ: We often meet at the library on weekends to study and read. Afterward, we sometimes go to a nearby café to drink coffee and share a dessert.

Gợi ý: Combine short fragmented sentences into a fluent response. Use linking words (for example, 'also' or 'in addition') and more natural phrases (e.g., 'appreciate nature' instead of 'sense the beauty').

Ví dụ: Yes, I go out with friends about once a week. Often we study and drink coffee at the library, and on weekends we also take walks in the park to appreciate nature.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence then specific supporting detail. Avoid repetition and hesitations. Use correct grammar for ideas like 'share my feelings' and plural consistency ('friends are empathetic').

Ví dụ: Friends are very important to me. For example, my close friends are empathetic, so when I'm upset I can share my feelings with them and feel supported and calmer.

Gợi ý: This answer is quite good; tighten it slightly by starting with the preference and using linking words to contrast solo and group activities.

Ví dụ: I enjoy both. When I'm alone I relax by reading at the library or napping at home; however, with friends I prefer group activities like playing outdoor games because they make me feel connected and happy.

Gợi ý: Use present simple for habits and correct word choices ('private' not 'pro private'). Start with a clear statement and give one or two reasons. Avoid awkward phrasing like 'show my room' without context—explain why.

Ví dụ: Yes, I invite only my closest friends to my home because it's a private space. For example, I welcome them for dinner or to study together, and I don't usually invite acquaintances.

Gợi ý: Clarify the time contrast using linking words (e.g., 'before'/'now'). Fix grammar and word order, and give specific examples and reasons for the change.

Ví dụ: Yes. Before, we often met at shopping malls to shop, but now we usually meet at the library to study and drink coffee, especially before exams when we review together.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence and use better linking phrases ('for instance', 'whereas'). Improve grammar ('different times need different places', 'quiet place to read a book'). Give a concise contrasting example.

Ví dụ: Some places are suitable depending on the activity. For instance, we choose cafés to chat and socialize, whereas we go to the library when we need a quiet place to read or study.

× I do have quite a lot of old friends. I'm still in touch with one, uh, some of my childhood friends and we often play together.

✓ I do have quite a lot of old friends. I'm still in touch with some of my childhood friends and we often play together.

The original sentence contained an extra 'one,' which conflicted with 'some of my childhood friends.' This is an incorrect pronoun/reference causing confusion. Remove 'one,' so the pronoun 'some' correctly refers to multiple friends. Suggestion: keep pronouns consistent with number (singular/plural).

× In most cases, my friends and I take a walk and enjoy nature in the park at weekends, but on holidays we go shopping at a shopping mall.

✓ In most cases, my friends and I take walks and enjoy nature in the park on weekends, but on holidays we go shopping at a shopping mall.

The phrase 'at weekends' is a British variant but 'on weekends' is more common; more importantly 'take a walk' with 'my friends and I' suggests habitual plural occurrences, so 'take walks' is more natural. This corrects preposition use and noun number to match habitual action. Suggestion: use 'on weekends' and pluralize recurring activities when talking about habitual actions.

× When I am under stress, I call my friends out and chat over coffee at Cafe to be relaxed.

✓ When I am under stress, I call my friends and chat over coffee at a cafe to relax.

'Call my friends out' can be interpreted as asking them to leave a place; simpler 'call my friends' is clearer. 'To be relaxed' is an incorrect infinitive modal-like purpose; use 'to relax' to express purpose. Also 'cafe' should not be capitalized. Suggestion: use 'to relax' for purpose and avoid unnecessary particles like 'out' unless intended.

× Actually, I usually meet friends at the library and that we read books and drink coffee and have some, uh, sweet da dessert in the library at weekends.

✓ Actually, I usually meet friends at the library, where we read books, drink coffee, and have some sweet dessert on weekends.

The clause 'and that we read' is ungrammatical; use a relative adverb 'where' to link location and actions. 'Sweet da dessert' contains filler and an extra word; simplify to 'sweet dessert.' Replace 'in the library at weekends' with 'on weekends' and avoid repeating location. Suggestion: use 'where' to connect place to activities and remove fillers.

× Of course, I go out with my friends once a week. Sometimes we read books and drink coffee in the library. At weekends. We also like take a walk in the park, which helps us find the attractive parts of nature to sense the beauty.

✓ Of course, I go out with my friends once a week. Sometimes we read books and drink coffee in the library on weekends. We also like to take walks in the park, which helps us appreciate the beauty of nature.

Fragment 'At weekends.' should be attached to the previous sentence; 'like take a walk' is missing 'to' and singular/plural mismatch—use 'like to take walks.' 'Find the attractive parts of nature to sense the beauty' is awkward; replace with 'appreciate the beauty of nature.' Suggestion: combine fragments, include 'to' before verbs of preference, and use natural collocations like 'appreciate the beauty of nature.'

× I think they are so important for me. For example, my friend is a is an empathetic person and when I feel sad I can show them umm my real real ideas and I can feel relaxed in difficult times.

✓ I think they are very important to me. For example, my friends are empathetic people, and when I feel sad I can share my real ideas with them and feel relaxed in difficult times.

'Important for me' is less natural than 'important to me.' The sentence mixed singular 'my friend is a' with plural referent 'they' and 'them'; make number consistent: refer to 'friends' plural. 'Show them my real real ideas' is awkward; use 'share my real ideas with them.' Also remove filler and duplicate words. Suggestion: keep pronoun number consistent and use 'share' for expressing thoughts.

× I will invite my closest friends to my home because home is a pro private place for me so I will just show my closest friend my room.

✓ I will invite my closest friends to my home because home is a private place for me, so I will just show my closest friends my room.

'Pro private' is incorrect — likely intended 'a private.' Use article 'a' before 'private place.' Maintain consistent plural 'closest friends' throughout. Add comma before 'so.' Suggestion: ensure correct articles and consistent number agreement between nouns and pronouns.

× I usually meet friends at shopping mall to go shopping in previous time and now I some I usually meet friends in the library to read books and drink coffee and before the exam we can review together.

✓ I usually used to meet friends at a shopping mall to go shopping, but now I usually meet friends in the library to read books, drink coffee, and review together before exams.

'At shopping mall' needs an article: 'at a shopping mall' or 'in a shopping mall.' 'In previous time' is incorrect; use 'used to' for past habits. 'Now I some I usually' is ungrammatical filler; simplify to 'but now I usually.' Place 'before exams' at sentence end and pluralize for generality. Suggestion: use 'used to' for past habits and include articles with countable nouns.

× Because different time need different places. For example, when I need to chat with my friends, we always choose the cafe or the other place, but when we need a quiet place to read book, we will choose the library.

✓ Because different times need different places. For example, when I need to chat with my friends, we always choose a cafe or another place, but when we need a quiet place to read a book, we choose the library.

'Different time' should be plural 'different times.' 'The cafe or the other place' is awkward; use 'a cafe or another place.' 'Read book' needs article 'a book.' 'Will choose' is unnecessary for general statements; use present tense 'choose.' Suggestion: pluralize general nouns, use appropriate articles, and use simple present for habitual actions.
