Mirrors— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear and relevant, but has some small grammatical errors and slight redundancy. Make the response more natural by using correct prepositions and pronouns (e.g. 'in the mirror', 'look at myself'), and tighten the phrasing so it stays within 3–4 sentences. Add a linking phrase to connect the reason to the example.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. I usually check myself in the mirror every morning because I want to make sure my hair and clothes look presentable. For instance, before I leave the house I look in the bedroom mirror to see if anything needs fixing so I can avoid feeling self-conscious later.

Sugerencia: Good direct answer and explanation, but watch subject-verb agreement and pronoun consistency ('apartments... include', avoid shifting from 'I' to 'you'). Also avoid repeating 'nowadays' twice. Make the reasoning more specific (e.g. landlord provisions or built-in fittings).

Ejemplo: No, I haven't. Most modern apartments already include built-in mirrors in the bedroom and bathroom, so people rarely need to buy one. For that reason I have never bought a mirror myself.

Sugerencia: Answer is concise and relevant, but the final claim ('mirrors are likely to disappear') is speculative and vague. Use clearer linking words ('because', 'so') and give a brief concrete reason or example (e.g. using phone cameras for quick checks). Avoid absolute predictions unless you can support them.

Ejemplo: No, I don't usually carry a mirror because I use my smartphone camera for quick checks. For example, I often open the front camera to check my hair or makeup instead of carrying a compact mirror.

Sugerencia: Your idea is clear, but the answer is somewhat repetitive and contains grammatical issues (e.g. 'a big piece of furniture', singular/plural). Use one strong topic sentence, then give two specific supporting reasons with linking words. Replace vague adjectives ('beautiful') with specific benefits (e.g. make the room look larger, reflect natural light).

Ejemplo: Yes, I would. Mirrors can make a small bedroom look larger and also reflect natural light, brightening the space. For instance, placing a large mirror opposite a window can double the light and create a more open, stylish atmosphere.

× Yes, I love looking at myself at the mirror.

✓ Yes, I love looking at myself in the mirror.

Use 'in the mirror' not 'at the mirror' because English uses the preposition 'in' to indicate seeing one's reflection within the mirror surface.

× For example, before I leave my house, I look myself into the mirror to see if there's anything that needs fixing or if the clothes that I'm wearing actually look good.

✓ For example, before I leave my house, I look at myself in the mirror to see if there is anything that needs fixing or if the clothes I am wearing actually look good.

The verb phrase should be 'look at myself' (verb + preposition) not 'look myself'. Also use 'in the mirror' and maintain present continuous 'I am wearing' or simple present 'I wear' consistently; 'there's' expanded to 'there is' is acceptable but keep tense consistent.

× That's because most of the apartments nowadays includes mirrors in the sitting room, in the bedroom as well as in the bathroom.

✓ That's because most apartments nowadays include mirrors in the sitting room, in the bedroom, and in the bathroom.

With plural subject 'apartments' the verb should be plural 'include' not 'includes'. Also 'most of the apartments' can be shortened to 'most apartments' and use parallel commas and 'and' for list.

× As a result, there's really no need for you to purchase mirrors nowadays.

✓ As a result, there is really no need to purchase mirrors nowadays.

The original uses 'you' which changes register and may be acceptable, but the student previously used first person general statement; removing 'you' keeps the sentence general and more natural. Also expanded 'there's' to 'there is' for formality.

× No, I do not take a mirror with me, and that is because I can use my smartphones to look at myself, so mirrors are likely to disappear.

✓ No, I do not take a mirror with me, because I can use my smartphone to look at myself, so mirrors are likely to disappear.

Use singular 'smartphone' not plural 'smartphones' when referring to the speaker's device. Also combining clauses with 'because' is more natural than 'and that is because'.

× Mirrors are beautiful things to have.

✓ Mirrors are beautiful things to have.

This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed.

× They help with lighting and help things stand out more artistically and beautifully.

✓ They help with lighting and help things stand out more artistically and beautifully.

Sentence is acceptable; no preposition error. No change needed.

× So they are definitely a big piece of furnitures that one could have.

✓ So they are definitely a big piece of furniture that one could have.

Use uncountable noun 'furniture' not plural 'furnitures'. Also 'a big piece of furniture' is correct: 'piece' is singular so 'furniture' remains uncountable. Alternatively say 'definitely a big piece of furniture' or 'definitely an important piece of furniture'.

× For example, before I leave my house, I look myself into the mirror to see if there's anything that needs fixing or if the clothes that I'm wearing actually look good.

✓ For example, before I leave my house, I look at myself in the mirror to see if there is anything that needs fixing or if the clothes I am wearing actually look good.

Also ensure subject-verb agreement in 'needs' referring to 'anything' (singular) is correct; 'there is anything that needs' is fine. The main corrections are preposition and reflexive construction; repeated here to match problem types.
