Websites— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more specific about the types of websites (news, academic journals, forums, company intranets) and use linking words to connect ideas. Avoid repeating phrases like “it helps” and keep answers concise (max 4–5 sentences).

Ejemplo: I often visit news sites, academic journals and technical forums. For example, when I'm working I frequently use industry blogs for updates and Stack Overflow to solve coding problems. These sites help me stay informed and troubleshoot issues quickly.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence and give specific reasons and examples. Avoid filler phrases like “Well” and vague words like “shots.” Use linking words (because, for example, such as) and keep it to 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: My favourite website is YouTube because it offers a wide variety of educational and entertainment videos. For example, I watch science channels to learn new concepts and comedy sketches to relax. This combination makes it both useful and enjoyable.

Sugerencia: Provide clearer, more specific details about recent changes (e.g., layout redesign, faster load times, personalized recommendations) and use linking words to organize points. Remove redundant phrases like “keep” and unnecessary summaries.

Ejemplo: Yes, many sites have redesigned their layouts and improved load speeds recently. For instance, news sites now personalise article recommendations and search engines return results faster. These changes make browsing more efficient and enjoyable.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence naming the popular website types (social media, e-commerce, news). Correct grammar and word order, avoid vague phrasing, and add specific examples (Facebook, TikTok) and reasons why they are popular.

Ejemplo: Social media sites are the most popular in my country, especially platforms like TikTok and Facebook. Young people use them to message friends and watch short videos after school, while others use them for news and shopping.

Sugerencia: Good clear opinion and reasons; improve coherence with linking words and a concise contrast with books. Mention a specific example of when websites are more useful and acknowledge one advantage of books briefly for balance.

Ejemplo: I prefer websites because they are faster and accessible on my phone wherever I am. For example, I can quickly search for definitions or tutorials online, whereas a book would be bulky and slower to search. However, books can be more reliable for in-depth study.

Sugerencia: Use a clear topic sentence and expand with specific details about the website's purpose, target audience and content types. Avoid minor grammar errors (website singular) and keep to 2–3 supporting sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I would like to create a personal website to share my travel stories and photos. I would include blog posts, a photo gallery and tips for places I visit to help other travellers. The site would target young people who enjoy budget travel.

Sugerencia: Provide more specific examples of skills learned (programming, Excel, math techniques) and link cause and effect clearly. Use precise language and avoid repetition like “I've learned so many skills” without detail.

Ejemplo: I've learned practical skills on YouTube, such as Excel shortcuts and problem-solving techniques in maths. For example, when I had a difficult assignment I watched step-by-step tutorial videos and then practised the methods. This improved my grades and confidence in class.

× It helps me to do my research and it helps me to solve problems at work.

✓ It helps me do my research and solve problems at work.

The phrase 'helps me to do' is acceptable, but English often omits 'to' after 'help' when followed by the base verb: 'help me do'. Removing the second 'it helps me to' creates a more concise, natural sentence by using parallel verbs without repeated subjects. Suggestion: use 'help + base verb' and combine parallel actions to avoid repetition.

× You know about learning about science and shots, comedy videos, everything is on there.

✓ You can learn about science, short comedy videos, and many other things there.

Original sentence has awkward phrasing: 'You know about learning about' is redundant and 'shots' seems to be a typo for 'shorts' or 'short'. Also word order and connectors are incorrect. Correct by using 'you can learn' and listing items with proper nouns and commas. Suggestion: remove redundant 'about' and use correct noun 'shorts' or 'short comedy videos' and parallel list structure.

× I have recently noticed that they keep updating the user interface and also they keep improving the speeds of your search results.

✓ I have recently noticed that they keep updating the user interface and improving the speed of search results.

'Speeds of your search results' is awkward and inconsistent with subject. Use singular 'speed' or 'the speed of search results' and avoid repeating 'they keep'. Also 'your' changes perspective; keep neutral 'search results'. Suggestion: use parallel gerunds and consistent nouns.

× So in short there are many changes that keep happening to make sure the website it is fun to navigate and also entertaining.

✓ So in short there are many changes that keep happening to make sure the website is fun to navigate and entertaining.

The phrase contains a redundant pronoun 'it' ('website it is'). Remove 'it' to maintain correct subject-verb structure: 'the website is'. Also remove redundant 'also' or place it appropriately. Suggestion: avoid duplicating subject pronouns.

× Usually to the social media websites that are popular in my country, kids after school go on there to try to message each other but also to watch various videos.

✓ Usually social media websites are popular in my country; after school, kids go on them to message each other and to watch various videos.

Original sentence has incorrect word order and an unnecessary preposition 'to' before 'the social media websites', plus 'go on there' is redundant. Reorder to place subject first, use correct preposition 'on them' for websites, and coordinate the verbs with 'and'. Suggestion: start with the main clause then describe who uses them and why.

× It's much faster to navigate and it's easier to connect using my phone wherever I am, which unlike a book, I will need to carry it and it takes time to look for particular information.

✓ It's much faster to navigate and easier to connect using my phone wherever I am, whereas with a book I would need to carry it and it takes more time to find particular information.

Problems: unnecessary comma clause 'which unlike a book' and redundant pronoun 'it' after 'carry'. Tense/modal mismatch: use 'would' to contrast habit with hypothetical preference. Also 'look for' is acceptable but 'find' is more natural. Suggestion: use a clear contrastive connector ('whereas' or 'while') and avoid redundant pronouns.

× Yes, I would love to have my own websites and that is because I can post my personal stories as well as my adventures wherever I go.

✓ Yes, I would love to have my own website because I can post my personal stories and my adventures wherever I go.

If referring to a single site, use singular 'website' not 'websites'. Also 'and that is because' is wordy; 'because' suffices. Suggestion: choose singular or plural consistently and simplify connecting phrases.

× For example, when I was given assignments in school, I would often go watch videos about people trying to resolve the same problems.

✓ For example, when I was given assignments in school, I would often go and watch videos of people trying to solve the same problems.

Use 'go and watch' or directly 'watch'; include 'and' for natural spoken sequence. 'About people trying to resolve' is acceptable but 'videos of people trying to solve' is more idiomatic, and 'solve' is more natural than 'resolve' here. Suggestion: use idiomatic 'watch videos of people' and 'solve' for common tasks.

× I would say YouTube is my favorite website. It is my favorite because I get to see a range of different videos.

✓ I would say YouTube is my favorite website. It is my favorite because I can see a wide range of videos there.

'I get to see' is informal but acceptable; 'I can see' is clearer and matches general ability. 'A range of different videos' is wordy; 'a wide range of videos' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'can' for general statements and 'wide range' for variety.
