Tiredness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid repetition. The phrase “often often” is an unnecessary repetition, and “almost every single day with no exceptions” is contradictory because “almost every day” allows exceptions. Use a clear frequency expression and add one brief reason or result. Also, include punctuation and natural pauses when speaking.

Example: Yes, I often feel tired, especially on weekdays. I usually feel this way because I do not get enough sleep and have a busy schedule.

Suggestion: Give a clear answer about specific times of day. “A few times at all times of the day” is unclear, “the long time in the afternoon” is unnatural, and “I have severe fatigue problem” should be “I have a severe fatigue problem” or, more naturally, “I often feel exhausted.” Organize the answer with a linking word such as “especially” or “because,” and provide a specific reason.

Example: I tend to feel tired in the afternoon, especially after lunch. I sometimes feel tired in the evening as well because I have usually been working or studying for several hours by then.

Suggestion: The answer includes relevant activities and some detail, but the opening should be “When I feel tired” rather than “I’m feeling tired.” Use parallel verb forms: “practice calligraphy, sketch, and listen to music.” Avoid unnecessary words such as “also” and “as well” together, and replace “among few other things” with a specific final activity or omit it.

Example: When I feel tired, I usually do something relaxing, such as practicing calligraphy or sketching. I also listen to music and take a walk in the park, which helps me clear my mind and regain my energy.

Suggestion: The main idea is clear and directly answers the question, but “while I’m feeling tired” is repeated. Say “I’m not in the mood to socialize,” including the article “the,” and use a more natural expression such as “go out with my friends.” You could improve the answer by adding what you prefer to do instead.

Example: No, I usually stay at home when I feel tired because I’m not in the mood to socialize. Instead, I prefer to rest, watch a film, or listen to some music until I feel better.

× Yes of course I often often feel tired I feel tired throughout the day Almost every single day with no exceptions

✓ Yes, of course. I often feel tired throughout the day, almost every single day, without exception.

The original answer contains several clauses joined without appropriate punctuation, creating a run-on sentence. It also repeats the adverb often unnecessarily. Use a full stop to separate complete thoughts and place the frequency expression naturally in the sentence.

× A few times at all times of the day, in the morning and the long time in the afternoon and in the evening as well, I have severe fatigue problem.

✓ I feel tired at all times of the day—in the morning, for a long time in the afternoon, and in the evening as well. I have a severe fatigue problem.

A few times means several occasions, but the intended meaning is that the tiredness occurs throughout the day. Use at all times to express this meaning.

× A few times at all times of the day, in the morning and the long time in the afternoon and in the evening as well, I have severe fatigue problem.

✓ I feel tired at all times of the day—in the morning, for a long time in the afternoon, and in the evening as well. I have a severe fatigue problem.

The expression the long time is not grammatically appropriate here. Use for a long time to describe the duration of an activity or condition.

× A few times at all times of the day, in the morning and the long time in the afternoon and in the evening as well, I have severe fatigue problem.

✓ I feel tired at all times of the day—in the morning, for a long time in the afternoon, and in the evening as well. I have a severe fatigue problem.

The singular countable noun problem needs an article. Use a before problem because it is being mentioned as one problem and does not refer to a specific previously identified problem.

× Well, I'm feeling tired, I practice in calligraphy and sometimes I also do some sketching and listen to the music as well.

✓ Well, when I feel tired, I practice calligraphy, sometimes do some sketching, and listen to music as well.

The question asks about a regular response, so the simple present is more suitable than I'm feeling tired in this context. Use when I feel tired to describe a repeated situation.

× Well, I'm feeling tired, I practice in calligraphy and sometimes I also do some sketching and listen to the music as well.

✓ Well, when I feel tired, I practice calligraphy, sometimes do some sketching, and listen to music as well.

The verb practice is followed directly by the activity. Do not use the preposition in before calligraphy. The correct phrase is practice calligraphy.

× Well, I'm feeling tired, I practice in calligraphy and sometimes I also do some sketching and listen to the music as well.

✓ Well, when I feel tired, I practice calligraphy, sometimes do some sketching, and listen to music as well.

Music is used as an uncountable noun when referring to music in general, so it does not need the definite article the here. Say listen to music.

× I take a walk in the park among few other things.

✓ I take a walk in the park, among a few other things.

Few without an article usually has a negative meaning, suggesting almost none. Use a few to mean several or some.

× I don't usually go with my friends while I'm feeling tired because while I'm feeling tired, I'm not in a mood to socialize.

✓ I don't usually go with my friends while I'm feeling tired because I'm not in the mood to socialize.

The fixed expression is in the mood to do something. The definite article the is required before mood in this expression.
