Paper— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly with the present perfect: “Yes, I have.” Then explain that you made origami as a child. Use “folding paper” rather than “crafting papers,” and avoid the awkward relative clause “which I did.” You could also add one specific example of an origami figure to make the answer more vivid.

Example: Yes, I have. I used to make origami when I was a child, folding paper into different shapes, animals, and objects. I particularly enjoyed making paper cranes because they looked elegant and were surprisingly easy to create.

Suggestion: Because the question refers to the past, use “liked,” “cut,” and “made” instead of present-tense or incorrect verb forms. Say “cut paper into different shapes” and “stuck them on the walls,” rather than “paste them in the walls.” Organize the answer with a clear sequence, such as what you did followed by where you displayed your work.

Example: As a child, I liked cutting paper into different shapes and turning it into small art pieces. Then, I would stick them on the walls of my room. I especially enjoyed making flowers and animals because they made my room look more colorful.

Suggestion: Use the natural expression “showing my appreciation” instead of “making appreciation,” and say “the people I love” without “that.” Remove the repeated “and,” and make the answer more directly related to letter writing. A specific situation, such as writing birthday or thank-you letters, would make your response more effective.

Example: Yes, I still write physical letters because I enjoy showing my appreciation to the people I love. I usually write them for birthdays or to say thank you. Writing by hand also allows me to express my feelings more personally than sending a short text message.

Suggestion: Use a plural structure: “they are meaningful memories,” not “it is some sense of memories.” The phrase “reminisce of the past” should be changed to “reminders of the past” or “things that make us reminisce.” Avoid repetition in “reminds us to keep us going,” and explain why letters are especially valuable, such as their emotional and personal nature.

Example: Yes, many people still keep handwritten letters because they are meaningful reminders of the past. For example, a letter from a family member can bring back special memories and make someone feel emotionally connected to that person. Unlike digital messages, handwritten letters often feel more personal and lasting.

Suggestion: Correct “pants” to “pens,” and use the uncountable noun “paper” when referring to the material. Say “write on paper,” not “write in papers.” The answer is relevant, but you could make it more natural by explaining what you use them for, such as taking notes, recording information, or writing reminders.

Example: Yes, I usually carry a pen and a small notebook when I go out. I’m a nurse, so I often need to take notes, record information, or write down reminders during my work. Although we also use computers, paper and pens are still a practical part of my daily routine.

× Yes, I had made crafts with paper.

✓ Yes, I have made crafts with paper.

The question uses the present perfect tense, Have you made...? Therefore, the answer should also use the present perfect: have made. Had made is the past perfect and is used when describing an action that happened before another past action.

× I like cutting papers in different shapes and make turning it into beautiful art pieces and I usually paste them in the walls of my room.

✓ I liked cutting paper into different shapes and turning it into beautiful art pieces, and I usually pasted them on the walls of my room.

Because the question asks about your childhood, the past tense is more appropriate: liked and pasted. Use the past tense consistently when describing repeated activities in the past.

× I like cutting papers in different shapes and make turning it into beautiful art pieces and I usually paste them in the walls of my room.

✓ I liked cutting paper into different shapes and turning it into beautiful art pieces, and I usually pasted them on the walls of my room.

The verbs after liked should be parallel. Use cutting and turning, not cutting and make turning. After like or liked, two coordinated activities can both use the -ing form.

× I like cutting papers in different shapes and make turning it into beautiful art pieces and I usually paste them in the walls of my room.

✓ I liked cutting paper into different shapes and turning it into beautiful art pieces, and I usually pasted them on the walls of my room.

Use on, not in, with walls because objects are attached to or placed against a surface: on the walls.

× This helps me to improve my vocabulary and and to express more of myself.

✓ This helps me improve my vocabulary and express more of myself.

And is repeated unnecessarily. Also, the two verbs should have a parallel structure: improve and express. After help, the to can be omitted before both verbs.

× Yes, people still keep handwritten letters today as it is some sense of memories and reminisce of the past and it reminds us to keep us going and to keep us inspired in our daily lives.

✓ Yes, people still keep handwritten letters today because they are reminders of the past, and they remind us to keep going and stay inspired in our daily lives.

Handwritten letters is plural, so use the plural pronoun they rather than it. The pronoun must agree in number with the noun it refers to.

× Yes, people still keep handwritten letters today as it is some sense of memories and reminisce of the past and it reminds us to keep us going and to keep us inspired in our daily lives.

✓ Yes, people still keep handwritten letters today because they are reminders of the past, and they remind us to keep going and stay inspired in our daily lives.

The plural subject letters requires the plural verb are, not is. It also requires they remind rather than it reminds.

× Yes, people still keep handwritten letters today as it is some sense of memories and reminisce of the past and it reminds us to keep us going and to keep us inspired in our daily lives.

✓ Yes, people still keep handwritten letters today because they are reminders of the past, and they remind us to keep going and stay inspired in our daily lives.

The original sentence contains several ideas joined together without a clear structure. Use because to introduce the reason and and to connect the two related main clauses. Reminders of the past is also a clear noun phrase.

× Yes, I carry paper and pants when I go out as I am a nurse and in my field we use both papers and computers.

✓ Yes, I carry paper and pens when I go out because I am a nurse, and in my field we use both paper and computers.

Paper is generally an uncountable noun when referring to the material used for writing, so use paper rather than papers. Pens is the correct plural noun for writing instruments.

× This is already a part of my everyday life as my job includes writing in papers.

✓ This is already part of my everyday life because my job includes writing on paper.

Use on paper, not in papers, when referring to writing on a sheet or surface. The phrase part of my everyday life does not need the article a in this context.

× Yes, I carry paper and pants when I go out as I am a nurse and in my field we use both papers and computers.

✓ Yes, I carry paper and pens when I go out because I am a nurse, and in my field we use both paper and computers.

The original sentence combines several clauses awkwardly. Separating the reason with because and adding a comma before and makes the sentence clearer and easier to follow.
