Paper— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is clear, well-organized, and directly answers the question. You provide specific examples and explain why you enjoyed the activity. To sound more natural, replace “completing intricate pieces” with a slightly more conversational phrase such as “finishing complicated designs.” You could also add a brief personal detail to make the answer more vivid.

Example: Yes, I used to make paper crafts at school, especially origami. I made paper bowls, flowers, and even small animals. I found the folding process very calming, and I felt proud whenever I finished a complicated design.

Suggestion: You answer the question directly and give a clear reason for your preference. However, “into animal over a flower” is incorrect and unclear; it should be “into an animal or a flower.” The sentence is also slightly long, so dividing it into two sentences would improve clarity. Use a linking phrase such as “For example” before mentioning a specific model.

Example: When I was a child, I especially liked folding paper and making origami. I found it magical because you could turn a simple sheet of paper into an animal or a flower. For example, I once made a paper crane, and finishing it felt very satisfying.

Suggestion: Your response has a clear answer, a relevant comparison between the past and present, and a specific example. The final sentence needs ending punctuation, and “before phones were common” is slightly inaccurate because phones existed; “before smartphones became common” would be more precise. You could also explain briefly why you no longer write physical letters.

Example: No, I don’t write physical letters anymore because messaging apps are much faster and more convenient. However, when I was a child, I often sent handwritten letters to my classmates during the holidays. We did this before smartphones became common, and it was a nice way to keep in touch.

Suggestion: This is a strong answer because it gives a balanced opinion and explains the reasons clearly. The contrast between “most people” and “some” is effective, and “sentimental reasons” is appropriate vocabulary. Add ending punctuation and consider changing “keep the habit of sending” to the more natural “still send” or “continue sending.” A specific example would make the answer even more developed.

Example: I would say most people no longer write handwritten letters, but some still send them to family and close friends. They usually do this for sentimental reasons or on special occasions because a handwritten note feels more personal. For example, people may write letters for birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries.

Suggestion: Your answer is direct and includes useful supporting details, such as drawing diagrams and making annotations. However, “record compressed information” is not natural in this context; use “jot down information,” “write down important points,” or “record information quickly.” The opening contrast is slightly unnecessary, and adding a specific situation would make the answer more effective.

Example: Yes, I usually carry a small notebook and a pen with me. I find it easier to jot down information on paper, especially when I need to draw a diagram or make a quick note. For instance, I sometimes use them to record directions or ideas that come to mind while I’m out.

× I found it magical because you could turn a simple sheet of paper into animal over a flower, and finishing a complicated model felt very satisfying.

✓ I found it magical because you could turn a simple sheet of paper into an animal or a flower, and finishing a complicated model felt very satisfying.

The singular countable noun animal requires the indefinite article an. Use an before a vowel sound, as in an animal. The phrase over a flower is also incorrect in this context; the intended meaning is that paper can become one thing or another, so use an animal or a flower.

× I found it magical because you could turn a simple sheet of paper into animal over a flower, and finishing a complicated model felt very satisfying.

✓ I found it magical because you could turn a simple sheet of paper into an animal or a flower, and finishing a complicated model felt very satisfying.
