Tidiness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Уменьшите количество пауз и слов-паразитов («uh», «I, I»), начните с чёткой темы, затем добавьте одну-две конкретные причины или примера. Поддерживайте длину ответа до 2–4 предложений, используйте связки (for example, however, because) и точную лексику (tidy, chores, procrastinate, stressful).

Example: I like my things to be tidy, but I often find it hard to keep them that way because I dislike doing housework. For example, I tend to procrastinate on chores, which makes me feel stressed when my flat gets messy.

Suggestion: Избегайте повторов и нечетких выражений («I don't remember exactly», многократные «uh»). Дайте прямой ответ (yes/no) и добавьте конкретный пример или краткое описание привычки в детстве. Используйте соединительные слова (however, so, because) и разнообразную лексику (forced, argued, messy, habit).

Example: Not really — my mother used to insist that I keep my room tidy, but I often resisted. For instance, I would leave toys and clothes on the floor, which led to frequent arguments with her.

× it is sometimes difficult for me to keep clean steady

✓ it is sometimes difficult for me to keep things clean and tidy

The phrase 'keep clean steady' is ungrammatical and uses incorrect word choice and order. Use 'keep things clean and tidy' to express maintaining cleanliness and order. Also ensure parallel structure: 'clean and tidy'. Suggestion: use nouns after 'keep' (keep things clean) and coordinate adjectives with 'and'.

× I, I really hate to do housework

✓ I really hate doing housework

The verb phrase 'hate to do' is acceptable but 'hate doing' is more natural for general dislike. Remove duplicate 'I, I'. Suggestion: avoid repeated words and prefer gerund after 'hate' for habitual situations.

× it is always a big stress for me and uh, I always procrastinate a lot

✓ it is always very stressful for me, and I always procrastinate a lot

Use adjective 'stressful' rather than noun phrase 'a big stress' to describe something causing stress. Maintain parallel structure and natural collocations. Suggestion: use 'stressful' and combine clauses with a comma and conjunction.

× Again, uh, I don't remember exactly, but uh, I remember that my mother, uh, forced me, uh, to keep my room clean

✓ Again, I don't remember exactly, but I remember that my mother forced me to keep my room clean

Main issue is unnecessary filler words and commas; grammar is otherwise correct. Remove extra fillers for clarity. 'Forced' correctly uses past tense. Suggestion: eliminate filler 'uh' and extra commas for fluent speech.

× Uh, but it was always difficult for me, uh, to do it and uh, uh, I always didn't want to do it

✓ But it was always difficult for me to do it, and I never wanted to do it

'I always didn't want to do it' is ungrammatical; use 'I never wanted to' to express past negative habitual desire. Remove fillers and extra commas. Suggestion: use 'never' instead of 'always didn't' for correct negative adverb placement.

× And uh, sometimes my room was really dirty and we had arguments about it

✓ Sometimes my room was really dirty, and we had arguments about it

Sentence is grammatically correct but contains filler 'uh' and missing comma before conjunction. Keep past tense 'was' and 'had' consistent. Suggestion: remove fillers and add a comma for clarity.
