Tidiness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more natural and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and use one or two supporting reasons. Use linking words if adding details.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. I prefer to keep my surroundings tidy because it helps me feel calm and focused. For example, when my desk is organized, I can find things quickly and work more efficiently.

Sugerencia: Clarify tense and reduce hesitations. Start with a direct topic sentence about past habit, then give a specific supporting detail and use linking words like “so” or “for example.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. My parents insisted on tidiness, so I used to make my bed and tidy my toys every morning. For example, during summer vacation I still cleaned my room before breakfast.

Sugerencia: Use a clear structure and concise sentences. Avoid filler words (“uh”) and give specific actions and frequency. Use linking phrases like “usually” or “after work.”

Ejemplo: At the office I clean my desk and tidy my papers every morning. Usually I wipe the desk, arrange my files, and sweep the floor so the space stays neat throughout the day.

Sugerencia: Express the opinion clearly and give a specific reason with better word choice. Replace vague phrases like “fix my hard work” with clearer explanations and use linking words such as “because” or “therefore.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I think being tidy is necessary because it improves my mood and productivity. For example, when my workspace is organized, I can focus better and complete tasks more quickly.

× Yes, I sure I want.

✓ Yes, I sure do.

The original sentence uses 'want' without an auxiliary, creating an unnatural structure. In present simple for first person, add the auxiliary 'do' for emphasis: 'I sure do.' Also 'I want' is incomplete here; 'I sure do' conveys agreement more naturally.

× Everything is tidy.

✓ Everything is tidy.

No grammatical change needed; sentence is correct. Included for completeness: 'tidy' properly describes 'everything.'

× I like neat.

✓ I like things neat.

'Neat' is an adjective and cannot directly follow 'like' without a noun or a clause. Use 'I like things neat' or 'I like it neat' to make the object clear.

× I hate, I just hate messy.

✓ I hate messiness; I just hate things being messy.

'Messy' is an adjective and needs a noun or clause. 'I hate messy' is ungrammatical. Use the noun 'messiness' or a clause 'things being messy' to complete the idea.

× Yes, when I was a child, my parents taught me that I should keep everything neat in my rooms.

✓ Yes, when I was a child, my parents taught me that I should keep everything neat in my room.

The plural 'rooms' conflicts with 'I' as subject unless referring to multiple rooms; most likely 'my room' is intended. No tense error beyond singular/plural; adjusted to singular for clarity.

× So I when I get up, I clean, uh, clean my room every day, uh, even in the, uh, summer vacation or weekend.

✓ So when I got up, I cleaned my room every day, even during summer vacation or on weekends.

The question asked about childhood (past), so use past tense 'got up' and 'cleaned.' Also use 'during summer vacation' and 'on weekends' as correct prepositional phrases. Removed fillers and duplicated 'clean.'

× Uh, in my workplace, uh, office, uh, I clean when I, uh, get to the office every day, I, uh, clean the, uh, desk and the chairs, uh, and clean the floor, uh, to keep everything is tidy.

✓ In my workplace, the office, I clean when I get to the office every day: I clean the desk and the chairs and the floor to keep everything tidy.

Remove fillers and correct word order: 'to keep everything tidy' (not 'to keep everything is tidy'). Use present simple 'I get' and 'I clean' for habitual actions. Remove unnecessary definite article before furniture when context is clear.

× Uh, it looks very.

✓ It looks very tidy.

The original ends with an incomplete comparative/adverbial phrase. Add the adjective 'tidy' to complete the sentence: 'It looks very tidy.'

× Sure, I think it's very important to keep everything tidy because it provides me a good mood to fix my hard work.

✓ Sure, I think it's very important to keep everything tidy because it puts me in a good mood and helps me focus on my hard work.

'Provides me a good mood' is not natural English. Use 'puts me in a good mood' and connect ideas: 'helps me focus on my hard work.' This corrects verb choice and improves sentence clarity.
