Tidiness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make the response more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and filler words, and add one brief supporting reason or example. Keep it to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. I'm an organized person, so I regularly put things back where they belong to avoid clutter. For example, I sort my clothes and stationery every evening so my room stays tidy.

Sugerencia: Reduce hesitations and unnecessary repetition. Give a clear direct answer followed by one specific supporting detail explaining why, using a linking word (e.g., "because" or "so") to make it coherent.

Ejemplo: No, I didn't. My mother cleaned my room and organized my things when I was young, so I never learned to keep it tidy myself. As a result, I only started organizing my space in my teens when I moved out.

Sugerencia: Be more fluent and structured: give a topic sentence then two concise supporting details. Remove fillers and correct grammar (e.g., "accumulates" not "gets accumulate"). Use linking words like "first" and "then" to sequence actions.

Ejemplo: I keep my study area tidy by following a simple routine. First, I vacuum and wipe surfaces every weekend because dust accumulates when I keep the window open. Then I sort papers and throw away or recycle anything unnecessary to avoid clutter.

Sugerencia: Provide a concise opinion with one or two specific reasons and avoid vague fillers. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "often" not "more oftenly") and give an example or consequence to support your point.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think being tidy is important because it creates a good impression and shows self-respect. For instance, tidy clothes and a clean workspace make colleagues more comfortable collaborating with you, while untidiness can give an impression of carelessness.

× I am very organized and clean person so I of course I like to keep myself and my things tidy.

✓ I am a very organized and clean person, so of course I like to keep myself and my things tidy.

Missing article 'a' before the noun phrase 'very organized and clean person' is an adjective/article error. Also there is a repeated 'I' ('so I of course I') creating redundancy; remove the extra 'I' or reposition 'of course'. Suggestion: include the article 'a' and say 'so of course I like...' or 'so I, of course, like...'.

× Umm, to be honest, no, because when I was a kid, my mother used to take care of all my things and, uh, she used to clean, uh, my room and my work area as well.

✓ Umm, to be honest, no, because when I was a kid, my mother took care of all my things and cleaned my room and my work area as well.

Use of 'used to' is grammatical but can be overused and sounds repetitive here. The simple past 'took care of' and 'cleaned' is more natural for habitual past actions in this context. Suggestion: use simple past verbs for clarity and conciseness when describing past routines.

× Uh, so yeah, I did not realize the importance of cleanliness at that time, unfortunately.

✓ Uh, so yeah, I did not realize the importance of cleanliness at that time, unfortunately.

This sentence is grammatically correct in past tense; no change required. Keep as is. (Included for completeness.)

× Well, uh, every weekend I try to vacuum my room and I vacuum my study area as well, uh, because there's a lot of dust gets accumulate, accumulated, uh, because of I, I always keep the window of my room open.

✓ Well, every weekend I try to vacuum my room and my study area as well because a lot of dust accumulates since I always keep my window open.

Original has several errors: 'there's a lot of dust gets accumulate' mixes constructions; correct is 'a lot of dust accumulates'. 'because of I' is wrong preposition and pronoun order; use 'since I' or 'because I'. Also 'the window of my room' is wordy; 'my window' is natural. Suggestion: use subject-verb agreement ('dust accumulates') and correct subordinating conjunctions ('since' or 'because').

× Umm, yeah. I do vacuum in my room and, uh, then I, uh, sort all the extra things out. I throw away all the things that are unnecessary. That's how I keep my.

✓ Umm, yeah. I vacuum my room and then I sort out the extra things and throw away what is unnecessary. That's how I keep tidy.

Original ends with incomplete clause 'That's how I keep my.' which lacks an object. 'Vacuum in my room' is acceptable but 'vacuum my room' is more natural. 'Sort all the extra things out' can be condensed to 'sort out the extra things'. Replace 'all the things that are unnecessary' with 'what is unnecessary' for conciseness. Suggestion: complete sentences with necessary objects and streamline phrasing.

× Well, certainly it is extremely important to be neat and clean because, you know, it shows a person's personality.

✓ Well, certainly it is extremely important to be neat and clean because, you know, it shows a person's personality.

Sentence is acceptable grammatically. Pronoun usage is fine. (Included for completeness.)

× People like you, people like to, you know, come and sit down with you if you look neat and tidy.

✓ People like to come and sit with you if you look neat and tidy.

Original repeats 'people like' and uses 'sit down with you' which is awkward. Simplify to 'People like to come and sit with you'. Pronoun use 'you' is correct; redundancy removed. Suggestion: avoid repetition and choose concise verb phrases.

× On the contrary, if you are wearing untidy clothes or you are not, you know, like looking after yourself, then people stay away from you more oftenly.

✓ On the contrary, if you wear untidy clothes or do not look after yourself, people tend to stay away from you more often.

'Wearing untidy clothes' is acceptable but 'if you wear untidy clothes' is more concise. 'you are not, you know, like looking after yourself' is colloquial and ungrammatical; use 'do not look after yourself'. 'More oftenly' is incorrect; the correct adverb is 'more often' or 'often'. Use 'tend to' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: replace colloquial fillers, use correct adverb forms, and simplify verb constructions.
