Tiredness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly with a natural phrase such as “Not very often.” Avoid “particularly not,” “household course,” and the overly long sentence. Use “household chores” and divide the response into two or three sentences. Add one clear reason and a specific situation to make the answer more effective.

Example: Not very often. I usually exercise and meditate in the morning, so I feel refreshed for most of the day. However, I get tired if I study for several extra hours or spend a long time doing household chores.

Suggestion: Avoid referring to an earlier answer with “As I told you earlier,” because each response should be direct and concise. Remove repetition of “I feel tired” and use natural expressions such as “work overtime,” “study for several hours,” and “do not get enough sleep.” Organize the situations with a linking word such as “especially” or “also.”

Example: I usually feel tired when I study for several hours or work overtime. I also feel exhausted if I do not get enough sleep. Doing a lot of household chores can make me feel tired as well.

Suggestion: Use the gerund correctly in “listening to music,” and replace unnatural phrases such as “get me refresh,” “physical peace,” and “reduces my stress properly.” Keep the answer focused on one main activity and explain its effect with accurate present-tense verbs. A natural structure is: activity, reason, and result.

Example: When I feel tired, I usually listen to music. It helps me clear my mind and relax my body, especially after a stressful day. After listening to a few songs, I normally feel calmer and more refreshed.

Suggestion: Give a clear reason after “Yes,” but avoid unnatural expressions such as “I like it on doing,” “the closed ones,” and “feels relaxable.” Use “close friends,” “spending time with them,” and “helps me recharge.” You could also mention that you sometimes choose a quiet activity if you are extremely tired, which would make the answer more balanced and specific.

Example: Yes, I sometimes go out with my friends, especially at the weekend. Spending time with people I am close to helps me forget about stress and recharge. However, if I am extremely tired, I prefer having a quiet meal or watching a film at home.

× Particularly not because I do some exercises and meditation in the morning so I feel refreshed during the whole day.

✓ Not particularly, because I do some exercises and meditation in the morning, so I feel refreshed throughout the whole day.

Particularly not is an unnatural adverbial expression in this context. Use not particularly to mean that something is true only to a limited extent. Throughout the whole day is also a more natural expression than during the whole day here.

× As I told you earlier, I feel tired when I go, uh, when I do some extra work or extra hours of studying, I feel tired at that time or even sometime I feel tired when I don't get my proper sleep, uh, or if I do some extra household work.

✓ As I told you earlier, I feel tired when I do some extra work or study for extra hours. I sometimes feel tired when I do not get enough sleep or when I do some extra household work.

Sometime means at an unspecified time, whereas sometimes means occasionally. Because you are describing a repeated situation, sometimes is required. Use enough sleep rather than proper sleep when referring to the sufficient amount of sleep.

× Particularly, the thing I like to do when I feel tired is listening music.

✓ In particular, the thing I like to do when I feel tired is listen to music.

The verb listen requires the preposition to before its object: listen to music. After the structure the thing I like to do is, the base form listen is also natural and grammatically correct.

× I think listening music can get me refresh my mind and also relaxes my body.

✓ I think listening to music can help me refresh my mind and relax my body.

The structure get me refresh is incorrect. Use help me refresh or get me to refresh. Also, the two actions should be parallel: help me refresh my mind and relax my body.

× I think listening music can get me refresh my mind and also relaxes my body.

✓ I think listening to music can help me refresh my mind and relax my body.

A modal verb such as can must be followed by a base-form verb. Therefore, use relax, not relaxes. The verb after can should be help, followed by the base form refresh.

× It all not only gives physical uh peace but also gave mental peace and it reduces my stress properly or even I feel refreshed after.

✓ It not only gives me physical peace but also gives me mental peace, reduces my stress, and leaves me feeling refreshed afterward.

The word all is incorrectly placed and is unnecessary in this sentence. The correlative structure not only...but also should connect parallel verb phrases. The adverb afterward is needed because after cannot stand alone at the end of this sentence.

× It all not only gives physical uh peace but also gave mental peace and it reduces my stress properly or even I feel refreshed after.

✓ It not only gives me physical peace but also gives me mental peace, reduces my stress, and leaves me feeling refreshed afterward.

The answer describes a general effect of listening to music, so the present tense is required throughout. Change gave, which is past tense, to gives, which agrees with the present-tense verb gives in the first part.

× It all not only gives physical uh peace but also gave mental peace and it reduces my stress properly or even I feel refreshed after.

✓ It not only gives me physical peace but also gives me mental peace, reduces my stress, and leaves me feeling refreshed afterward.

After is a preposition or a conjunction and normally needs a following complement. In this sentence, afterward is the correct adverb because it can complete the meaning by itself.

× I like it on doing on weekends because just spending some time with the closed ones also helps to uh feel refreshed and also get energy.

✓ I like doing this at weekends because spending time with my close friends helps me feel refreshed and gives me energy.

The structure like it on doing is incorrect. Use like doing this or like to do this. The phrase on weekends should not contain a second on. The sentence is also clearer when the subject spending time is followed by parallel verb phrases: helps me feel and gives me energy.

× I like it on doing on weekends because just spending some time with the closed ones also helps to uh feel refreshed and also get energy.

✓ I like doing this at weekends because spending time with my close friends helps me feel refreshed and gives me energy.

Closed ones is not the natural adjective phrase for people you know well. Use close friends or loved ones, depending on the intended meaning. Close describes an emotional or personal relationship, while closed describes something that is not open.

× I like it on doing on weekends because just spending some time with the closed ones also helps to uh feel refreshed and also get energy.

✓ I like doing this at weekends because spending time with my close friends helps me feel refreshed and gives me energy.

The subject spending time with my close friends is singular, so the coordinated verbs must be helps and gives. The original forms helps and get are not parallel and do not agree in form.

× Uh, spending time with friends feels relaxable.

✓ Spending time with friends feels relaxing.

Relaxable means able to be relaxed, and it is not normally used to describe an activity. Use relaxing to describe something that causes relaxation. You can also say I feel relaxed when I spend time with friends.
