Tidiness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 用更自然的时态和更简洁连贯的句子表达，同时注意少量语法和词汇使用问题。具体可改进：1) 把“tended to”改为更自然的现在时态或习惯性表达（例如“I tend to”或“I like to”）；2) 减少冗长结构，保持每个句子不超过5句总长度；3) 改正“disconnect me from”不太自然的用法为“disconnect me from my devices”并注意冠词；4) 使用连接词使细节更连贯（e.g., “for example”, “also”）；5) 增加一两个更具体的细节（清洁带来的具体影响或频率的原因）。

Example: I tend to keep my room clean and orderly. I usually tidy it once or twice a week because sweeping and wiping the windows help me unplug from my devices and think clearly. For example, spending an hour cleaning on Sundays lets me sort through old notes and plan the week ahead, which gives me a real sense of satisfaction.

Suggestion: 把时态保持一致并用更自然的表达详细说明原因和具体例子。具体可改进：1) “I got into the habits of regular cleaning when I was 10”可以改成更口语化的“I developed the habit at about ten”; 2) 将混用时态统一（过去描述儿童时期应使用过去时）；3) 用连接词如“for example”或“so”来增强逻辑；4) 提供更具体的细节（比如整理哪些物品或如何提高效率）。

Example: Yes, I did. I developed the habit of tidying up around the age of ten and would organise my desk and bookshelf every week. For example, I labelled my notebooks and kept school supplies in boxes, so I could find what I needed quickly and finish homework faster.

× Yes, I tended to keep things clean and methodical.

✓ Yes, I tend to keep things clean and methodical.

原句使用了過去式 "tended" 但句子是在描述一個現在的習慣或傾向，應使用現在式 "tend"。建議將動詞改為一般現在時，因為表示現在的習慣或常態時要用現在時態。

× I generally clean my room one to two times a week.

✓ I generally clean my room once or twice a week.

原句 "one to two times a week" 在英語中不如 "once or twice a week" 自然，且數詞與 times 的搭配可使用更慣用的表達。建議使用固定短語 "once or twice a week"。

× On the one hand, doing cleaning, such as sweeping the floor and scrubbing the window, disconnect me from digital devices so that I can reflect on my current affairs.

✓ On the one hand, doing cleaning, such as sweeping the floor and scrubbing the windows, disconnects me from digital devices so that I can reflect on my current affairs.

（1）主動詞與主語不一致：主語是動名詞短語 "doing cleaning"，屬於第三人稱單數，需要用單數動詞 "disconnects"。（2）名詞複數："window" 應為複數 "windows"，因為通常有多個窗戶。建議使用正確的主謂一致和適當的單複數形式。

× On the other hand, the process of putting things in order gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

✓ On the other hand, the process of putting things in order gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

此句語法正確，無需修改。保持原句即可。

× I got into the habits of regular cleaning when I was 10.

✓ I got into the habit of regular cleaning when I was 10.

應使用單數習慣表達 "the habit" 而非複數 "the habits"，因為搭配動詞 "got into" 常用單數短語 "get into the habit of ..."。其餘時態（過去式）與語境相符。

× I organized my desk and bookshelf every week because I find it easy to locate what I was looking for if I keep things clean.

✓ I organized my desk and bookshelf every week because I found it easy to locate what I was looking for if I kept things clean.

句子開始使用過去時 "organized"，因此後續描述應保持過去時一致。原句中 "I find" 和 "if I keep" 與之前的過去時不一致，應改為過去時 "found" 和 "kept" 以保持時態一致。

× Furthermore, being in a tidy environment helped me stay focused and improved my efficiency.

✓ Furthermore, being in a tidy environment helped me stay focused and improve my efficiency.

原句中 "helped me stay focused and improved my efficiency" 在結構上不平行。動詞並列應保持同一形式："helped me stay... and improve..." 或改為兩個獨立的過去結構。建議將第二部分改為不帶過去式主動語態的動詞不定式結構以保持平行。
