Websites— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid redundancy, and add one specific reason or example. Use linking words correctly and keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I often visit streaming sites such as YouTube and Netflix. For example, on YouTube I follow makeup channels, while Netflix has dramas I binge during the summer, which helps me relax and kill time.

Suggestion: Begin with a direct topic sentence and correct grammar. Give two brief, specific reasons and use linking words (for example, and, also). Avoid vague phrases and pronoun errors.

Example: My favourite website is YouTube because I can learn makeup techniques that help me look better, and I also watch travel vlogs to learn about different countries and plan trips.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use clearer phrasing and specific examples of changes. Use linking words to show cause or effect. Keep it concise and grammatically correct.

Example: Yes, these sites are updated regularly to improve the interface and add features. For instance, YouTube updates its recommendation algorithm and Netflix adds new categories to make browsing easier.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and give specific reasons and an example. Use linking words (because, so, therefore) and correct tense and article usage.

Example: Translation and travel apps are very popular in Hong Kong because it is an international city with many tourists. For example, visitors often use Google Translate to communicate when they cannot speak Cantonese or English.

Suggestion: Give a clear preference with one supporting reason and a brief comparison. Avoid repetition and informal phrasing. Use linking words such as however or whereas for contrast.

Example: I prefer websites because they provide immediate answers and are very convenient. However, books are more detailed and reliable, though they take longer to consult.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly (yes or no) and give concise reasons, using correct grammar. Use linking words to balance contrasting ideas if needed.

Example: I would not like to have my own website because I lack the technical skills to build and maintain it. Although I might consider it in the future if I learn web development, right now it seems too difficult.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and give a specific example of what you learned. Use linking words to show cause and effect, and correct word choice and grammar.

Example: Search engines and AI tools like Google and ChatGPT are very useful for my studies because they help me understand difficult theories. For example, when I struggle with a concept in class, I use AI explanations and examples to clarify it.

× I always visit platforms like YouTube and Netflix, they offer many videos and dramas for me and I could spend a lot of time so that my summer holiday would not be too boring.

✓ I always visit platforms like YouTube and Netflix because they offer many videos and dramas, so I can spend a lot of time on them and my summer holiday will not be too boring.

The original contains a comma splice and inappropriate tense/modal usage. Combine clauses with a conjunction ('because') and use 'can' instead of 'could' for present ability. Use 'will' to indicate the resulting state of the holiday. Also use 'on them' to refer to platforms correctly.

× You probably YouTube, I like watching makeup videos and traveling videos.

✓ Probably YouTube; I like watching makeup videos and travel videos.

The sentence has missing verb and punctuation. 'Traveling videos' is better expressed as 'travel videos.' Use a semicolon or short sentence to separate ideas.

× It teach me some technique to make me look more pretty and also traveling videos could let me explore different countries.

✓ They teach me some techniques to help me look prettier, and travel videos also let me explore different countries.

Subject-verb agreement: 'It teach' is incorrect; use 'They teach'. 'Technique' should be plural 'techniques'. Use comparative form 'prettier' not 'more pretty'. Use 'travel videos' and 'let me' rather than modal 'could' for habitual ability.

× They often have little update to make the website more comprehensive and more friendly to the user.

✓ They often have small updates to make the website more comprehensive and more user-friendly.

'Little update' is uncountable/incorrect; use 'small updates'. Place 'often' is fine, but 'user-friendly' is the correct adjective form. 'To the user' is better as 'user-friendly'.

× Probably the translation website because Hong Kong is a very international city and many tourists came to visit and some of them could not speak English and Cantonese well.

✓ Probably translation websites, because Hong Kong is a very international city and many tourists come to visit, and some of them cannot speak English or Cantonese well.

Use present tense 'come' for habitual arrivals, not past 'came'. Use 'cannot' for present inability. Use plural 'websites' to match general statement and 'or' for languages.

× So they prefer using some translate apps that we can communicate well and to solve their problem.

✓ So they prefer using some translation apps so we can communicate well and solve their problems.

Use 'translation apps' (noun form) not 'translate apps'. Keep verb forms parallel: 'communicate' and 'solve' (do not mix 'to solve'). Make 'problems' plural for generality.

× Of course, website website could answer and solve our problem immediately, and it's very convenient to use.

✓ Of course, websites can answer and solve our problems immediately, and they are very convenient to use.

Remove repeated 'website'. Use plural 'websites' and 'can' for present ability. Match plural 'problems' and use 'they are' instead of 'it's' for plural subject.

× But compare with books. Books are very tough to use, you may spend a lot of time.

✓ But compared with books, websites are much more convenient; books can be difficult to use and may require a lot of time.

'But compare with books.' is a fragment. Use 'Compared with books' to start the comparison. 'Tough to use' is unnatural for books; 'difficult to use' fits better. Clarify subjects and link clauses properly.

× I would like but I would not to have my own website.

✓ I would like to, but I would not want to have my own website.

Original misuses 'would not to have'. Use 'would like to' or 'would want to'. To express negative preference use 'would not want to have'. Keep infinitive form 'to have' after 'want'.

× It's hard to build up and make a website.

✓ It's hard to build and maintain a website.

'Build up and make' is redundant. Use 'build and maintain' to express creation and ongoing management, which fits the context.

× I guess I do not have any techniques and knowledge to manage my website.

✓ I guess I do not have the skills or knowledge to manage a website.

Use 'skills' rather than 'techniques' for general ability. 'A website' is sufficient; present tense 'do not have' is correct. This is an issue of word choice within present-tense context.

× Google's is very useful for my study pathway because I do not understand some of the theories during the lessons, I may ask AI to solve my problem and let me understand something which are very complicated.

✓ Google is very useful for my studies because when I do not understand some theories during lessons, I may ask AI to solve my problems and help me understand things that are very complicated.

'Google's' is incorrect possessive; use 'Google'. 'Study pathway' is awkward; 'studies' is natural. Use plural 'problems' and 'things' and correct relative clause 'that are very complicated'. Also split run-on sentence into clearer clauses and keep present tense. 'Let me understand' -> 'help me understand' is more natural.
