Tidiness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make your answer more natural and coherent by using a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, and linking words. Keep it concise (max 4–5 sentences). Start with a direct response, then give one or two specific reasons with a short example. Use correct verb forms and plural/singular agreement, and replace vague phrases like “making things prepared” with clearer expressions such as “being well organised.”

Example: Yes, I do. I prefer to keep my space well organised because it helps me save time when I’m working. For example, at my office I file documents by date and project, so I can find what I need quickly without searching through piles. Therefore, being tidy makes my work more efficient.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear past-tense topic sentence, then give a specific reason and a concise example. Correct grammar (past tense, possessives, article use) and remove redundancy. Use linking words like “because” and “for example” appropriately and avoid awkward phrasing such as “my mom orders.”

Example: Yes, I did. My mother insisted that I keep my room tidy, so I always organised my clothes and toys. For example, I folded my clothes and kept them in labeled drawers, which made it easy to choose outfits each morning.

× Yes, I like to keep things tidy because arranged and making things prepared it's good for you to make things faster.

✓ Yes, I like to keep things tidy because keeping things organised and prepared helps you work faster.

The original sentence misuses 'arranged' and 'making things prepared' (incorrect forms and structure). Use the gerund 'keeping' to match 'I like to' and create parallel structure: 'keeping things organised and prepared'. Also replace the impersonal 'it's good for you to make things faster' with 'helps you work faster' for clarity and correct verb use.

× For example, when I was in my office, I used to keep things arranged because when I pick up one of the document you need to waste more time.

✓ For example, when I was in my office, I used to keep things organised because if I had to pick up a document I would waste more time.

Tense and conditional structure errors: 'when I pick up' should match the past general habit context and be conditional 'if I had to pick up'. Also 'one of the document' is singular/plural error; use 'a document'. 'You need to waste more time' is unnatural and mismatches tense; use 'I would waste more time' to express hypothetical past consequence.

× Yes, I used to keep my things arranged because this is related to my mom orders.

✓ Yes, I used to keep my things organised because this was related to my mother's orders.

Preposition and possessive errors: 'my mom orders' needs a possessive form 'my mother's orders'. Also maintain past tense 'was' to match 'used to'. 'Arranged' better expressed as 'organised' for natural English.

× When I was a child, my mom always insisted to me to keep things arranged and then prepared for example when I my clothes.

✓ When I was a child, my mom always insisted that I keep things organised and prepared, for example my clothes.

Incorrect use of 'insisted to me'; the correct pattern is 'insisted that I' followed by base verb 'keep'. Remove the duplicated 'then' and fix 'for example when I my clothes' to 'for example my clothes' to convey the intended meaning.

× So sometimes at home that you need to keep your clothes arranged, it's easy for you to pick up your piece of clothes.

✓ So, at home you need to keep your clothes organised; then it is easy to pick out an item of clothing.

The original sentence has awkward clause order and wrong phrasing 'pick up your piece of clothes'. Reorder the sentence for clarity: 'at home you need to keep your clothes organised' and use 'pick out an item of clothing' or 'pick out a piece of clothing'. Use consistent tense and natural collocations.
