Tiredness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clear and direct in your topic sentence, avoid contradictions and reduce redundancy. Start with a clear yes/no or brief statement, then add one or two concise reasons linked with a connector. Also correct grammar (e.g., use "I don't" not "No, I really feel tired" if you mean not tired) and watch verb forms.

Example: I don't often feel tired because I manage my sleeping hours well. In addition, my job is online so I can schedule my working hours flexibly, which helps me keep a regular routine.

Suggestion: Organise your answer: give a clear topic sentence about when you feel tired, then add specific details and use linking words for clarity. Correct repetition and grammar (e.g., "I work in the office" not repeated, "commute takes two hours"). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I sometimes feel tired when I work long hours and have to get up early the next day. For example, every Tuesday I work in the office, and my commute takes about two hours. As a result, I often feel exhausted the following morning.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence stating your main action, then briefly explain why and add a short consequence. Correct grammar and word choice ("it awakens me" or "it wakes me up", and avoid exaggerated phrases like "my adrenaline surge" unless accurate). Use one linking word to connect cause and effect.

Example: When I feel tired, I usually have a cup of coffee to wake myself up. Because of the caffeine, I feel more alert and energetic, which helps me concentrate on my tasks.

× 'No, I really feel tired I think because I manage my sleeping hours and my current job is online so I can schedule my working hours as I want to.'

✓ 'No, I don't really feel tired. I think it's because I manage my sleeping hours, and my current job is online so I can schedule my working hours as I want.'

'The original sentence incorrectly uses positive present tense "I really feel tired" contradicting the Examiner's question and likely intended "I don't really feel tired." Also it lacked a clause connector and punctuation. Use the negative auxiliary do not (don't) for present simple negative statements. Add commas and a conjunction to connect clauses for clarity.'

× 'I sometimes feel tired after working long hours and I need to get up early in the following morning.'

✓ 'I sometimes feel tired after working long hours and when I need to get up early the next morning.'

'"In the following morning" is not natural; use "the next morning." Also include "when" to connect the condition to feeling tired. Keep present simple for habitual actions.'

× 'This happens once a week to me because every Tuesday I work to I work in the office and I need to commute taking for two hours.'

✓ 'This happens to me once a week because every Tuesday I work in the office and need to commute for two hours.'

'"This happens once a week to me" is acceptable but word order is improved to "This happens to me once a week." The phrase "I work to I work" is a duplication error and must be removed. "Need to commute taking for two hours" is ungrammatical; use "need to commute for two hours." Maintain present simple for habitual actions and ensure subject-verb agreement.'

× 'Thus I feel exhausted in the next morning.'

✓ 'Thus I feel exhausted the next morning.'

'Use "the next morning" rather than "in the next morning." Preposition "in" is incorrect here. Keep present simple for habitual result statements.'

× 'When I feel tired I like to take a cup of coffee because it awaken me, I feel my adrenaline surge and it makes me more energetic.'

✓ 'When I feel tired, I like to have a cup of coffee because it awakens me; I feel my adrenaline surge and it makes me more energetic.'

'Use "have a cup of coffee" or "drink a cup of coffee" rather than "take." The verb "awaken" needs third person singular -s: "awakens." Also add punctuation to separate clauses. The present simple fits here for habitual reactions.'
