Paper— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly at the beginning. “I believe in myself that I am...” is unnatural here; say “I consider myself...” instead. Use the correct noun “papier-mâché” and avoid the vague phrase “and such.” Add one specific example, such as what you made or when you made it.

Ejemplo: Yes, I have. I consider myself a fairly creative person, so I made paper crafts when I was a child, especially origami and papier-mâché animals. I usually made them for school projects or as decorations for my room.

Sugerencia: Use the correct uncountable or plural form “origami,” not “origamies.” Keep the tense consistent by using the past tense: “it was” and “I learned.” The final clause is incomplete and unclear; explain that someone taught you step by step or that you learned through practice. Include a specific origami object to make the answer more vivid.

Ejemplo: As a child, I liked making origami, especially paper cranes and flowers. It seemed quite complicated at first, but I gradually improved after someone taught me the basic folds step by step. I enjoyed it because I could turn a plain sheet of paper into something beautiful.

Sugerencia: The question asks about your current habit, so begin with a clear answer such as “No, I don’t write them very often anymore.” Use the past tense consistently when describing your childhood. “Two crashes” appears to be an incorrect word, probably intended to mean “friends,” and “type it” should be “type messages.” Avoid listing too many relatives and give one clear reason for the change.

Ejemplo: Not very often. When I was younger, I sometimes wrote handwritten letters to my parents and close friends as special gifts. However, I rarely do that now because messaging apps are faster and more convenient, although I still write cards on birthdays.

Sugerencia: This is a relevant and well-organized answer with a clear opinion and personal example. Improve the phrasing by saying “As a sentimental person” instead of “as a person who is sentimental.” Use the plural “they are memorable” when referring to letters, and explain what makes them valuable, such as their emotional or historical significance.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think some people still keep handwritten letters, especially sentimental ones. As a sentimental person, I would keep them because they contain personal memories and feel more meaningful than digital messages. I could look back at them years later and remember the people and occasions connected with them.

Sugerencia: The answer is direct and gives a clear reason, but “devices such as phones” is less natural than “my phone,” and “type in my notes anything that I want to put out” is awkward. Say “write down anything I need to remember” instead. You could also add a brief contrast by mentioning one situation in which paper and a pen might still be useful.

Ejemplo: No, I usually don’t. I rely on my phone because it is always with me, and I can quickly write down reminders in my notes app. However, I might carry a pen and a small notebook when I travel or attend an important meeting.

× I believe in myself that I am an artistic and creative person.

✓ I believe that I am an artistic and creative person.

The verb believe is followed directly by a that-clause in this meaning. The phrase believe in myself that is not grammatically correct.

× So definitely I made some when I was a child

✓ So, I definitely made some when I was a child.

The adverb definitely usually comes after the subject and before the main verb. Therefore, I definitely made is more natural than definitely I made.

× for example paper maches and such

✓ for example, some paper mâché crafts and similar things

Paper mâché is an uncountable material, so paper mâches is not correct. Use paper mâché crafts when referring to objects made from this material.

× As a child I remember using paper to create origamies.

✓ As a child, I remember using paper to create origami.

Origami is generally used as an uncountable noun when referring to the art or activity. Origamies is not the usual plural form in this context.

× So at first it's very complicated

✓ So, at first, it was very complicated.

The answer describes an experience in the past, as shown by As a child. Therefore, the past form was is needed instead of the present form is.

× but as I learned when someone teaches me hands on

✓ but I learned how to do it when someone taught me hands-on techniques

The verb teaches must be changed to the past tense taught because the speaker is describing a past learning experience. The expression hands-on should be hyphenated when it comes before a noun.

× but as I learned when someone teaches me hands on

✓ but I learned how to do it when someone taught me hands-on techniques.

The original clause is incomplete and has an unclear structure. Adding learned how to do it and hands-on techniques makes the relationship between learning and teaching clear.

× When I was younger, I can still remember writing handwritten letters

✓ When I was younger, I used to write handwritten letters.

Used to write clearly expresses a repeated action in the past. The combination When I was younger, I can still remember writing is grammatically possible in some contexts, but it does not express the past habit as clearly.

× nowadays we can easily type it with our devices

✓ Nowadays, we can easily type them with our devices.

The pronoun them refers to the plural noun letters. A plural antecedent requires the plural pronoun them rather than the singular pronoun it.

× because it's memorable for me

✓ because they are memorable to me

They refers to the plural noun letters, so the plural verb are is required. The phrase memorable to me is also the more natural expression.

× I'd like to look back.

✓ I'd like to look back on them.

When look back means remember or think about something from the past, it is normally followed by the preposition on. The pronoun them refers to the letters.

× I can type in my notes anything that I want to put out

✓ I can type anything I want into my notes.

Into shows movement toward or entry into a place, so it is appropriate for information entered in notes. The phrasal verb put out does not naturally mean record information in this context.
