Geography— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be concise, correct grammatical errors, start with a clear topic sentence, and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition (you repeat studying in high school).

Exemplo: I don’t like geography very much. In high school I struggled with it because I find it hard to memorize place names and locations, so my grades were lower than in other subjects. However, I enjoyed map-reading activities sometimes, which helped a little.

Sugestão: Give a clear topic sentence, then support it with specific reasons and an example using linking words (e.g., because, for example). Avoid vague statements like 'widely used in work' without examples.

Exemplo: Yes, I think geography is very useful because it helps people navigate when travelling and understand different environments. For example, when I travel I use maps and basic geographic knowledge to plan routes and choose places to visit, and many jobs such as urban planning or logistics rely on geographic skills.

Sugestão: Make the answer grammatically correct and concise. State the fact, then add one clear reason or example with linking words. Avoid trailing off at the end.

Exemplo: Yes, I studied geography at high school. However, my grades were lower than my classmates’ because I have difficulty memorizing place names, so I often focused more on subjects that suited my strengths.

Sugestão: Begin with a direct answer, then give concise reasons using linking words. Use natural phrasing (e.g., 'interested in becoming' and 'in general').

Exemplo: No, I’m not interested in becoming a geography teacher. Teaching requires a lot of patience and dedication, and I don’t feel I have the passion or temperament for that kind of role.

Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific plans and link ideas smoothly. Correct grammar (e.g., 'learn more about the geography of other countries', 'Europe next year').

Exemplo: Yes, I’d like to learn more about other countries’ geography because I enjoy travelling. For example, I’m planning a trip to Europe next year, so I’m researching different countries’ climates and transport systems to decide where to visit.

× Actually, it's not my favorite subject. I remembered when I studied geography when I was in high school.

✓ Actually, it's not my favorite subject. I remember when I studied geography in high school.

The student used 'remembered' (simple past) but the context is speaking about a present memory—so present tense 'remember' is correct. Also 'when I was in high school' is acceptable but 'in high school' is more natural. Use present tense to express a current recollection. Suggestion: Use 'I remember' when referring to a memory you still hold now.

× My grades is a little bit lower because I am very forgetful and not be able to memorize the exact place and location.

✓ My grades are a little lower because I am very forgetful and not able to memorize the exact places and locations.

'Grades' is plural so the verb must be 'are' (subject-verb agreement). 'A little bit lower' can be 'a little lower'. 'Not be able' is incorrect modal/structure; use 'not able' or 'unable'. Also 'place and location' is redundant; plural 'places and locations' fits if meaning multiple items. Suggestion: Match plural subjects with plural verbs and use 'not able' or 'unable' for ability.

× Yes, it is very important for someone who likes to travel and go asking for a direction.

✓ Yes, it is very important for someone who likes to travel and ask for directions.

'Go asking for a direction' is unidiomatic. Use the verb 'ask' with plural 'directions' (general). The article 'a' before 'direction' is unnecessary when speaking generally. 'Ask for directions' is the standard phrase. Suggestion: Use fixed phrases like 'ask for directions'.

× It is also widely used in work, so you must really study geography.

✓ It is also widely used at work, so you should study geography seriously.

'In work' is awkward; 'at work' is the correct preposition. 'You must really study' is grammatical but sounds unnatural; 'should' with 'study seriously' is more natural advice. Adjust modal verb for tone. Suggestion: Use 'at work' for workplace contexts and 'study seriously' for emphasis.

× Yes, I have learned geography when I was in high school.

✓ Yes, I learned geography when I was in high school.

Combining present perfect 'have learned' with a specific past time 'when I was in high school' is incorrect; use simple past 'learned' for actions completed at a definite past time. Suggestion: Use present perfect for unspecified past, simple past for specified times.

× It is one of the subject they taught us and I remember that I have a low grades in geography compared to others because my weakness is really memorizing so it's hard for me to.

✓ It was one of the subjects they taught us, and I remember that I had low grades in geography compared to others because my weakness is memorization, so it's hard for me.

Multiple issues: 'one of the subject' should be 'one of the subjects' (plural). 'They taught us' fits past, so 'was' rather than 'is.' 'I have a low grades' mixes tense and number—use past 'I had low grades.' 'My weakness is really memorizing' is awkward; use noun 'memorization.' Sentence ended abruptly 'it's hard for me to.' Complete with 'to memorize.' Suggestion: Match noun plurals, keep consistent past tense for past events, and use nouns like 'memorization' rather than gerunds where appropriate.

× I think being a teacher requires a person to be patient, consistent and have a passion to teach.

✓ I think being a teacher requires a person to be patient, consistent, and to have a passion for teaching.

Parallel structure: after 'requires a person to be ...' the final verb phrase should match ('to have'). 'A passion to teach' is possible but 'a passion for teaching' is more idiomatic. Maintain parallel infinitive forms. Suggestion: Keep parallel verb forms and use 'passion for teaching'.

× I am not interested to become a geography teacher or general to be a teacher.

✓ I am not interested in becoming a geography teacher or, in general, in being a teacher.

Correct preposition is 'interested in' + gerund 'becoming.' 'General to be a teacher' is ungrammatical; rephrase 'in general, in being a teacher.' Suggestion: Use 'interested in' followed by gerund and position 'in general' as an adverbial phrase.

× Especially nowadays I like to travel and I want to go to the Europe's next year, so I am planning now and looking for European countries to go to.

✓ Nowadays I like to travel and I want to go to Europe next year, so I am planning now and looking for European countries to visit.

'The Europe's' is incorrect—continent names usually have no article ('Europe'). 'Go to Europe next year' uses future intention correctly; 'visit' is more natural than final 'go to.' Also 'Especially' at start is unnecessary. Use 'looking for European countries to visit.' Suggestion: Do not use 'the' before continent names; use 'visit' for travel destinations.
