Tidiness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and minor grammar errors, and use linking words to make the example flow. Also correct article use and word forms (e.g., “perfectly organized”, “search for them”). Keep answer under 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer a slightly messy system rather than keeping everything perfectly organized. For example, if I put all my masks in one box, I sometimes spend extra time searching for a specific one, so a simple, visible arrangement works better for me.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and correct tense/word repetition. Use one topic sentence, then add a specific supporting detail with correct past tense and cohesive linking words. Avoid repeating words and fix verb forms (e.g., “made my bed and tidy my desk,” “they would remind me”).

Ejemplo: Yes, I used to keep my room tidy because my parents expected me to help with chores. For example, every weekend I would make my bed and tidy my desk, and if I forgot, my parents would remind me right away.

Sugerencia: Be precise and use correct verb tense and sentence structure. Give a clear routine and link how tidying helps your work. Replace unclear phrases (e.g., “tied up”, “keeping the area need”) with accurate expressions and use linking words like “so” or “which helps”.

Ejemplo: I clean my workspace regularly, usually every Friday. I put items back in their places and throw away rubbish, which helps me concentrate and improves my efficiency.

Sugerencia: Good direct answer and clear reason. To improve, make the supporting detail more specific and add a linking word. Avoid vague phrases like “throw things anywhere”; give a concise example or result to strengthen your point.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think being tidy is important because it saves time and reduces stress. For example, when I arrange my books on a shelf, I can find a reference quickly instead of searching through piles, so I work more efficiently.

× No, I don't like to keep things tidy because when everything is perfect organized, it's harder for me to locate them quickly.

✓ No, I don't like to keep things tidy because when everything is perfectly organized, it's harder for me to locate things quickly.

The adverb 'perfectly' is required to modify the past participle 'organized'. Also 'them' is less natural than 'things' when referring back to 'things'; use 'things' to keep clarity and register consistent.

× For example, if I put my masks into a box, I will waste too much time to search them when I need one.

✓ For example, if I put my masks into a box, I will waste too much time searching for them when I need one.

After 'waste time' use a gerund ('searching') not an infinitive. Also the correct preposition is 'search for' when looking for something and 'them' is correct for masks; keep 'one' or use 'a mask' for clarity.

× Yes, I used to keep my room tidy when I was a child because my parents made me do household chores, chores chores.

✓ Yes, I used to keep my room tidy when I was a child because my parents made me do household chores.

The repetition 'chores chores' is an error (likely a typo) and should be a single 'chores'. The sentence otherwise correctly uses 'used to' and past tense 'made'.

× Every weekend for example, I had to make made my bed and desk.

✓ Every weekend, for example, I had to make my bed and tidy my desk.

Remove the duplicated verb 'make made'. Use 'make my bed' (correct) and 'tidy my desk' (more natural than 'make my desk'). Also add commas for clarity.

× If I forgot to do this, they will remind me immediately.

✓ If I forgot to do this, they would remind me immediately.

When the if-clause uses past tense ('forgot') to describe a habitual past situation, the result clause should use 'would' (past modal) rather than 'will'. This matches past-time reference.

× I clean up my workspace regularly. For example, I usually tied up every Friday, putting items back, throwing away the garbage, keeping the area need helps me concentrate and improve my work efficiency.

✓ I clean up my workspace regularly. For example, I usually tidy it every Friday, put items back, throw away the garbage, and keep the area tidy to help me concentrate and improve my work efficiency.

Use present simple verbs for habitual actions ('tidy', 'put', 'throw', 'keep'). 'Tied up' is wrong form; use 'tidy' or 'tidy it'. 'Keeping the area need helps' is ungrammatical; change to 'keep the area tidy to help me...'. Ensure parallel verb forms and correct infinitive purpose 'to help'.

× Yes, I think it is necessary to keep things tidy because it is a useful habit that improves efficiency.

✓ Yes, I think it is necessary to keep things tidy because it is a useful habit that improves efficiency.

No grammatical change required; sentence is acceptable. Included here to indicate pronoun use is correct.

× For example, if we throw things anywhere, it is difficult for us to find them and that will waste a lot of time.

✓ For example, if we throw things anywhere, it is difficult for us to find them and that wastes a lot of time.

Both 'will waste' and 'wastes' can be acceptable, but for general truths in the present simple is preferred: 'that wastes a lot of time.' This matches the conditional zero/first conditional pattern and makes the statement a general truth.
