Paper— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly using the present perfect, then add a specific example. Correct “when I was a child” to “when I was a child,” “leisure times” to “free time,” and “to be a bird or something like car” to “to make birds or things like cars.” Use a linking word such as “For example” to connect the detail naturally.

Ejemplo: Yes, I have. When I was a child, I often used my free time at school to fold paper into birds, paper planes, and small cars. For example, I once made a paper bird for a school project.

Sugerencia: Use the past form “I liked” or “I used to like,” rather than “I would like,” which usually expresses a present desire. Improve accuracy with “on paper,” “free time,” and “a beautiful scene.” Begin with a clear topic sentence and explain why drawing was enjoyable, using a specific example.

Ejemplo: When I was a child, I used to enjoy drawing pictures on paper. It was a creative way to spend my free time because I could imagine different scenes. For example, I often drew a house with my family in the garden.

Sugerencia: The answer is direct, but “handwriting notes” should be “handwritten notes,” and “latter than” should be “rather than.” Say “sending emails or text messages” instead of “sending email or text something.” Add a reason, such as the personal or memorable quality of handwritten letters.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do, although I do it quite rarely. I prefer sending handwritten notes to my close friends and family rather than sending emails or text messages. Handwritten letters feel more personal, and people can keep them as meaningful memories.

Sugerencia: Give a balanced and grammatically complete answer. Use “handwritten letters” rather than “handwriting,” and change “more convenient” to “more conveniently” or restructure the sentence as “is more convenient.” Avoid making an overly broad claim; explain that some people keep special letters even though digital messages are more common.

Ejemplo: I think fewer people keep handwritten letters nowadays because sending digital messages is much faster and more convenient. However, some people still save letters from family members or friends because they are personal and have sentimental value.

Sugerencia: The answer is relevant and includes reasons, but avoid repeating “when.” Use the present tense consistently: “when I find” and “I note it down.” Correct “knot on paper” to “note it down on paper,” and replace “beautiful scenes” with “beautiful scenery” or “interesting views.” Organize the answer with one clear reason and one example.

Ejemplo: Yes, I usually do, especially when I am travelling. I carry them because I like to note down interesting ideas or sketch beautiful scenery. For example, if I see an unusual building or a beautiful view, I quickly draw it in my notebook.

× Yes, I have made something with paper when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I made something with paper when I was a child.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a finished period in the past, so the simple past made is more appropriate than the present perfect have made.

× When I had leisure times in school, I always folded paper to be a bird or something like car.

✓ When I had free time at school, I always folded paper into a bird or something like a car.

Free time is an uncountable expression, so leisure times is not appropriate here. Also, the singular countable noun car needs the article a.

× When I had leisure times in school, I always folded paper to be a bird or something like car.

✓ When I had free time at school, I always folded paper into a bird or something like a car.

The preposition into shows the transformation of paper into the shape of a bird. Fold paper into a bird is the natural expression.

× When I had leisure times in school, I always folded paper to be a bird or something like car.

✓ When I had free time at school, I always folded paper into a bird or something like a car.

Car is a singular countable noun, so it requires the indefinite article a.

× When I was as a child, I would like to draw something on papers.

✓ When I was a child, I liked drawing on paper.

When I was as a child contains an unnecessary as. The structure should be when I was a child.

× When I was as a child, I would like to draw something on papers.

✓ When I was a child, I liked drawing on paper.

The question asks about a past habit or preference. Therefore, liked is more suitable than would like, which usually expresses a present or future preference.

× When I was as a child, I would like to draw something on papers.

✓ When I was a child, I liked drawing on paper.

Paper is normally used as an uncountable noun when referring to the material, so on paper is more natural than on papers.

× It's very creative activity for me when I have leisure times.

✓ It was a very creative activity for me when I had free time.

The singular countable noun activity needs the article a. The sentence also describes a past experience, so was is more appropriate than is.

× It's very creative activity for me when I have leisure times.

✓ It was a very creative activity for me when I had free time.

Because the speaker is describing childhood, the past-tense forms was and had should be used.

× It's very creative activity for me when I have leisure times.

✓ It was a very creative activity for me when I had free time.

Free time is an uncountable expression, so it should not normally be pluralized as leisure times.

× For example, I always imagine something like beautiful scene.

✓ For example, I always imagined something like a beautiful scene.

Scene is a singular countable noun, so it needs the article a. The verb is also changed to the past tense to match the childhood context.

× For example, I always imagine something like beautiful scene.

✓ For example, I always imagined something like a beautiful scene.

The sentence refers to a repeated activity in the past, so imagined is required instead of the present-tense form imagine.

× I prefer sending handwriting notes to my close friends and my family latter than sending email or text something on social media to them.

✓ I prefer sending handwritten notes to my close friends and my family rather than sending emails or text messages to them on social media.

Handwritten is the past-participle adjective used to describe notes that were written by hand. Handwriting is a noun or a present-participle form and cannot correctly describe the notes in this sentence.

× I prefer sending handwriting notes to my close friends and my family latter than sending email or text something on social media to them.

✓ I prefer sending handwritten notes to my close friends and my family rather than sending emails or text messages to them on social media.

The correct fixed expression for contrasting two preferences is rather than, not latter than.

× I prefer sending handwriting notes to my close friends and my family latter than sending email or text something on social media to them.

✓ I prefer sending handwritten notes to my close friends and my family rather than sending emails or text messages to them on social media.

Email is a singular countable noun when used in this meaning and needs an article, or it can be made plural as emails. Text message is also the correct noun phrase instead of text something.

× Nowadays I think people do not keep handwriting because social media allows them to send messages more convenient than sending physical letters

✓ Nowadays, I think people do not keep handwritten letters because social media allows them to send messages more conveniently than sending physical letters.

Handwritten is the correct past-participle adjective to describe letters written by hand. Handwriting is not the appropriate form in this noun phrase.

× Nowadays I think people do not keep handwriting because social media allows them to send messages more convenient than sending physical letters

✓ Nowadays, I think people do not keep handwritten letters because social media allows them to send messages more conveniently than sending physical letters.

The word conveniently modifies the verb send, so an adverb is required. Convenient is an adjective and cannot directly modify the verb.

× When I go outside, I always carry paper and pens with me because when I found something interesting I always knot on paper or when I found some beautiful scenes I always draw it on paper.

✓ When I go outside, I always carry paper and pens with me because when I find something interesting, I always note it on paper, or when I find some beautiful scenes, I always draw them on paper.

The sentence describes a repeated present habit, so find should be used instead of the past-tense form found.

× When I go outside, I always carry paper and pens with me because when I found something interesting I always knot on paper or when I found some beautiful scenes I always draw it on paper.

✓ When I go outside, I always carry paper and pens with me because when I find something interesting, I always note it on paper, or when I find some beautiful scenes, I always draw them on paper.

The pronoun them must refer to the plural noun scenes. The singular pronoun it cannot correctly refer to plural scenes.
