Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
考生
Yes, whenever I'm trying to start my work or trying to have a proper routine for my work, I always try to mention down the essential things that needs to be done. So whenever I start doing it, I won't be able to leave anything behind and it really helps me that way.

Why don't some people like making lists?
考生
Some people take that as a headache to write down everything before basically doing it. So yeah, that totally makes sense to me why people don't want to write everything before doing it or they just don't want to spend a lot of time in this. But as I think this particular habit can change.

Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
考生
Most of the time I prefer to make my list on paper because it felt more real to me, I enjoy it a lot. And 2nd, it's easier for me to just fold it up, put it in my bag and take it with me. So I don't know why but I do like to make my lists on paper basically.

✓ Yes, I always try to make lists before shopping because it gives me an idea of what to shop for and that way I would be able to skip any unnecessary item that I have to buy.
The phrase 'skip out any necessary item' is incorrect. The correct phrase is 'skip any unnecessary item'. Also, 'idea to what to shop for' should be 'idea of what to shop for' because 'idea' is followed by the preposition 'of'. This is an incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11).

The preposition 'to' after 'idea' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'of'. Also, 'skip out' is not appropriate here; 'skip' alone is correct. This is an incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11).
× ...that way I would be able to skip out any necessary item that I have to buy.
✓ ...that way I would be able to skip any unnecessary item that I have to buy.
The word 'necessary' is incorrect here because the meaning is to avoid items that are not needed. The correct word is 'unnecessary'. This is an incorrect use of quantifiers (ID 14).
× So yeah, it's very important to mention out things before you buy.
✓ So yeah, it's very important to mention things before you buy.
The phrase 'mention out things' is incorrect. The verb 'mention' does not require the preposition 'out'. This is an incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11).
× I always try to mention down the essential things that needs to be done.
✓ I always try to write down the essential things that need to be done.
The verb 'needs' does not agree with the plural subject 'things'. It should be 'need'. Also, 'mention down' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'write down'. This is a subject-verb agreement error (ID 27) and incorrect verb usage (ID 26).
× I always try to mention down the essential things that needs to be done.

✓ Some people see it as a headache to write down everything before actually doing it.
The phrase 'take that as a headache' is awkward and incorrect. The correct expression is 'see it as a headache'. Also, 'before basically doing it' is better as 'before actually doing it'. This is an incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11).

✓ But I think this particular habit can change.
The phrase 'as I think' is incorrect here; the correct phrase is simply 'I think'. This is an incorrect use of conjunctions/prepositions (ID 16).
