Tidiness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be careful with grammar, word choice and clarity. Begin with a clear topic sentence, use correct singular/plural and verb forms (things, makes), and replace wrong words (legs → desk/area; forget → focus). Keep it concise (max 3–4 short sentences) and add one specific detail. Use linking words like "because" or "for example" correctly.

Ejemplo: Yes, I like to keep my things tidy because a neat space makes me feel calm and comfortable. For example, when my desk is organized, I can focus better and waste less time looking for items.

Sugerencia: Improve accuracy and clarity: use correct phrases ("didn't use to"), correct verbs ("tidy up" or "clean for me"), and avoid incorrect idioms ("tie dyed in"). Provide a short contrast between past and present with linking words like "but" or "however." Keep to 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I didn't use to keep my room tidy as a child because I preferred playing outside to cleaning. As a result, my room was often messy and my mother used to clean it for me. However, I've become more responsible and now I tidy my room regularly.

Sugerencia: Give a clear, structured answer: start with a topic sentence describing your routine, then give one or two specific methods and a result. Fix grammar ("things," "it needs to be tidy," "when I work I can focus only on my work"). Avoid filler words (umm, yeah) and use linking words like "so" or "because."

Ejemplo: I keep my study space tidy by organizing my books and stationery every evening. I also clear unnecessary items from the desk so I can focus on my work without distractions.

Sugerencia: Provide a concise opinion followed by a clear, correctly worded reason and specific example. Correct vocabulary mistakes ("legs" → "desk/room/area"), grammar ("is" → "are/it is"), and use linking words like "because" and "for example." Aim for 2–3 sentences with precise vocabulary such as "concentrate" or "be more productive."

Ejemplo: Yes, I believe being tidy is necessary because it helps me feel calm and more productive. For example, when my workspace is clean I can find things quickly and concentrate better on my tasks.

× Yes, I like to keep my thing tidy because it make me feel calm and comfortable in my space.

✓ Yes, I like to keep my things tidy because they make me feel calm and comfortable in my space.

The nouns and verbs must agree in number: 'thing' should be plural 'things' to match general items, and the demonstrative pronoun becomes 'they'. The verb 'make' must agree with plural subject 'they' (they make). Suggestion: use plural nouns for general items and match verb forms accordingly.

× For example, when my legs is organized I can forget better and I waste less time looking for things.

✓ For example, when my things are organized I can remember better and I waste less time looking for things.

Multiple problems: 'legs' is incorrect word choice; likely 'things' or 'belongings'. 'Are' is required for plural subject 'things' (subject-verb agreement). 'Forget better' is incorrect meaning; use 'remember better'. Suggestion: ensure correct vocabulary and match plural subjects with 'are'.

× I did not use to keep my room tidy when I was a child because I was quite lazy and preferred to go outside rather than clean.

✓ I did not use to keep my room tidy when I was a child because I was quite lazy and preferred going outside to cleaning.

When contrasting preferences with verbs, use gerunds after 'prefer' or the structure 'prefer to'. Also 'rather than clean' is acceptable but better as 'to cleaning' for parallel gerund form. Suggestion: keep parallel verb forms: 'preferred going... to cleaning...' or 'preferred to go... rather than to clean'.

× My room was often messy so my mother usually tie dyed in for me.

✓ My room was often messy, so my mother usually tidied it for me.

The phrase 'tie dyed in' is incorrect and likely a misspelling of 'tidied'. Use past simple 'tidied' to match 'was' and 'usually' in past habitual action. Also object pronoun 'it' is needed. Suggestion: use correct verb 'tidy' in past 'tidied' and include the object 'it'.

× Now I've gotten better and try to clean up.

✓ Now I've gotten better and try to clean up more often.

The clause 'Now I've gotten better' (present perfect) is okay, but 'try to clean up' is vague; adding 'more often' clarifies habitual improvement. Tense consistency is maintained. Suggestion: include adverbial phrase to show frequency.

× Umm, I need to organize my thing.

✓ Umm, I need to organize my things.

'Thing' should be plural 'things' when referring to multiple items; pronoun/determiner must match count. Suggestion: use plural for general items.

× Yes, on my workspace, Yeah, it's need to be tidy.

✓ Yes, at my workspace, it needs to be tidy.

The verb 'need' must agree with third-person singular subject 'it': use 'needs'. Also preposition 'at' is more natural with 'workspace'. Suggestion: use 'it needs to be tidy' and 'at my workspace'.

× When I'm work I can forgot only my work, not focus anything.

✓ When I'm working I can focus only on my work and not get distracted.

Use present continuous 'I'm working' for ongoing action. 'Forgot' is past; correct idea is 'not get distracted' or 'not focus on anything' reversed. Also need preposition 'on' after 'focus'. Suggestion: use 'when I'm working' and 'focus only on my work' or 'not get distracted'.

× Yes, I think it's important to be tidy because being organized makes me feel calm and focused.

✓ Yes, I think it's important to be tidy because being organized makes me feel calm and focused.

No correction needed: sentence is grammatically correct. Included to indicate no change.

× For example, when my legs is clean, I can find things quickly and concentrate better on my work.

✓ For example, when my things are clean, I can find things quickly and concentrate better on my work.

'Legs' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'things' or 'belongings'. Use plural 'things' with verb 'are' for subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: replace 'legs' with appropriate noun 'things' and use 'are'.
