Dreams— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct small grammar errors, and avoid redundancy. Use one or two supporting details linked with a connective. For example, correct "I felt my IELTS exam" to "I was taking my IELTS exam" and change "I have been studying hard for it recently" to "I have been studying for it a lot recently."

Ejemplo: Yes, I can. Last week I dreamed I was taking my IELTS exam, and I felt very disappointed because I have been studying a lot recently. Because I was anxious, I woke up and reviewed my study plan to feel more prepared.

Sugerencia: Use present simple for habitual actions and correct verb forms. Keep it concise and add one specific detail using a linking word. For example, say "I usually share my dreams" rather than "I did share." Mention what friends said briefly and how it helped.

Ejemplo: Yes, I usually share my dreams with close friends. For instance, when I told them about the IELTS dream, they reassured me that it was just stress and suggested a relaxation routine, which made me feel calmer.

Sugerencia: Good structure and relevant content. Improve vocabulary and phrasing, and correct minor collocation errors. Replace "prop" with "prompt" or "motivation" and "practice under exam condition" with "practice under exam conditions." Add a linking word for clarity.

Ejemplo: I think it depends on the dream. For example, if I dream I fail my IELTS exam, I take it as a prompt to study harder; therefore, I revise more and practice under exam conditions.

Sugerencia: Clarify and correct grammar (use contractions sparingly). Remove confusing words like "except" here and fix tense: "I've invested." Start with a direct topic sentence and follow with brief reason and contrasting preference using linking words like "however" or "rather."

Ejemplo: No, I wouldn't want a dream about failing to come true because I've invested a lot of time and money in preparation. Rather, I would prefer a dream of passing with a high score to become reality.

× Last week I had a dream that I felt my IELTS exam.

✓ Last week I had a dream that I failed my IELTS exam.

The sentence uses 'felt' incorrectly to describe failing an exam; 'felt' is present-tense verb unrelated to the intended past action. The event in the dream is a completed past action, so use the past tense 'failed'. Also 'fail my exam' is the correct collocation. Suggestion: use verbs that accurately describe the dreamed event and match past tense context.

× I felt really disappointed because I have been studying hard for it recently.

✓ I felt really disappointed because I had been studying hard for it recently.

The speaker describes past disappointment caused by prior continuous study. Using past perfect continuous 'had been studying' correctly places the studying before the past feeling. 'Have been studying' (present perfect continuous) suggests a connection to the present, which conflicts with 'I felt' (past). Suggestion: align tenses by using past perfect continuous when explaining a cause that occurred before a past feeling.

× Yes, I did share this dream with my friends.

✓ Yes, I shared this dream with my friends.

Using 'did share' is grammatically acceptable for emphasis, but it is unnecessary here. The simple past 'shared' is more natural in this narrative. Suggestion: use simple past for straightforward past actions unless emphasis is intended.

× They listen to me and comfort me that the dream was not a reality and asked me to relax from the stress.

✓ They listened to me, comforted me by saying that the dream was not real, and asked me to relax and relieve the stress.

The sentence mixes present 'listen' with past narration; verbs should be past 'listened' and 'comforted'. 'Comfort me that the dream was not a reality' is unidiomatic; use 'comforted me by saying that the dream was not real.' Also 'relax from the stress' is awkward; use 'relax' and 'relieve the stress' or 'relax and relieve the stress.' Suggestion: keep verb tense consistent and use idiomatic expressions.

× For example, if I dream that I fail my IELTS exam, it could serve as a warning that I'm not studying enough.

✓ For example, if I dream that I failed my IELTS exam, it could serve as a warning that I'm not studying enough.

The conditional refers to dream content; because dreaming about a past event fits better with past perspective, use 'failed' to match hypothetical/imagined negative outcome. Alternatively, if speaking generally about present/future, 'fail' could remain; however, within this context past is more natural after 'dream that.' Suggestion: choose verb tense that matches hypothetical meaning and context.

× So I usually take it as a prop to revise more and practice under exam condition.

✓ So I usually take it as a prompt to revise more and practice under exam conditions.

'Prop' is incorrect word choice; 'prompt' fits meaning. Also use plural 'exam conditions' to refer to typical testing conditions. 'Practice under exam condition' is unidiomatic. Suggestion: use 'prompt' and 'exam conditions' for natural expression.

× Well, no. If I dream that I fail my IELTS, except I certainly won't want it to come true because I've invest a lot of time and money into preparing.

✓ Well, no. If I dream that I fail my IELTS, I certainly won't want it to come true because I've invested a lot of time and money in preparing.

The word 'except' is incorrectly used and breaks sentence structure; remove it. 'Won't want it to come true' is fine, but 'I've invest' is wrong form; use past participle 'invested' after 'have'. Also use 'in preparing' rather than 'into preparing.' Suggestion: remove unnecessary words, use correct past participle and preposition 'in.'

× I hope to get a good result, and instead I would prefer my dream about passing with a high score to come true.

✓ I hope to get a good result, and I would prefer my dream about passing with a high score to come true.

The word 'instead' is unnecessary and slightly contradicts the sentence flow; simple conjunction 'and' plus 'I would prefer' is clearer. Tenses are acceptable; ensure concise phrasing. Suggestion: omit redundant words like 'instead' when they do not add contrast.
