Tiredness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly, then explain the cause and result in a more accurate and natural way. Correct the grammar in “my school days are quite long,” “my classes don’t end,” and “the next day.” Avoid repeating “classes don’t end” and use a clearer phrase such as “I study at the library.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I often feel tired because my school days are quite long. My classes finish at around 4 p.m., but I usually stay in the library until 8 p.m. to study. As a result, I don’t get enough rest, and I sometimes find it difficult to concentrate the next day.

Sugerencia: The answer is well organized and gives a relevant example. Add a comma after “For example,” and use a slightly more natural phrase such as “I have trouble concentrating in class” instead of “concentrate on lessons.” You could also link the example more smoothly with “If I sleep poorly the night before.”

Ejemplo: I usually feel tired when I haven’t had enough sleep. For example, if I sleep poorly the night before, I feel sluggish and low on energy throughout the day. I also have trouble concentrating in class, so I’m usually less productive.

Sugerencia: Give a concise personal answer rather than switching between “you” and “I.” The response is too long and contains repetition and hesitation. Say “I usually take a short break or drink some iced tea,” and explain briefly how this helps. Also use the uncountable form “iced tea” unless you mean several different drinks.

Ejemplo: I usually take a short break when I feel tired. If possible, I have a quick nap, but when I’m busy, I drink some iced tea and stretch for a few minutes. These things help me feel more refreshed and return to my work with better concentration.

Sugerencia: State your answer directly and avoid repeated words and fillers such as “when I when I” and “umm.” Use natural expressions: “I’m in a bad mood,” “I don’t have much social energy,” and “I’d rather stay home and sleep.” Also, “sleep in” usually means sleeping later than usual, so “go to bed early” or “take a nap” may express your meaning more accurately.

Ejemplo: No, I usually stay at home when I feel tired. I’m often in a bad mood and don’t have enough energy to socialize or enjoy myself with my friends. I’d rather take a nap or go to bed early so that I feel better the next day.

× Yes, to be honest, I often feel very tired because of my school days quite long and my classes doesn't end.

✓ Yes, to be honest, I often feel very tired because my school days are quite long and my classes don't end.

The clause my school days quite long is missing the verb are. A complete clause needs a subject and a verb: my school days are quite long. Also, the phrase because of must be followed by a noun phrase, while because can introduce a complete clause.

× Yes, to be honest, I often feel very tired because of my school days quite long and my classes doesn't end.

✓ Yes, to be honest, I often feel very tired because my school days are quite long and my classes don't end.

Classes is a plural subject, so it must be followed by the plural auxiliary do, not does. The correct negative form is classes don't end.

× As a result, I don't get enough rest and sometimes find it hard to concentrate in the next day.

✓ As a result, I don't get enough rest and sometimes find it hard to concentrate the next day.

When the phrase the next day refers to a time in the future or after another event, no preposition is normally used. Therefore, concentrate the next day is more grammatical than concentrate in the next day.

× For example if I slept poorly the night before, I'm sluggish and low on energy all day and find it hard to concentrate on lessons.

✓ For example, if I sleep poorly the night before, I feel sluggish and low on energy all day and find it hard to concentrate in lessons.

This answer describes a regular situation, so the present simple should be used in both parts of the conditional sentence: if I sleep and I feel. Using slept with the present forms I'm and find creates an inconsistent tense pattern.

× Umm, for me it is to drink, umm, iced teas.

✓ Umm, for me, it is to drink iced tea.

Iced tea is generally used as an uncountable noun when referring to the drink in general, so it normally does not take the plural ending -s. Use iced teas only when referring to different varieties or servings.

× No, for me personally when I when I feel tired umm I tend to be really low on the mood so I don't think I will have the social battery and energy to go out and have fun with my friends.

✓ No, for me personally, when I feel tired, I tend to be in a low mood, so I don't think I will have the social battery or energy to go out and have fun with my friends.

The standard expression is in a low mood, not low on the mood. In addition, or is more appropriate than and when presenting social battery and energy as two alternatives that may be lacking.
