Library— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is somewhat natural but contains some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, such as "merely at a keystroke" and "Why going to?". Try to use more natural expressions and avoid redundancy. Also, keep your answer concise and clear within 5 sentences. Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

Sugestão: Your answer lacks completeness and contains grammatical mistakes, such as "talked" instead of "talk" and an incomplete final sentence. Try to provide a clear topic sentence followed by specific supporting details, using linking words to connect your ideas logically.

× Why going to?

✓ Why go?

The sentence 'Why going to?' incorrectly uses the '-ing' form of the verb 'go' without an auxiliary verb. In English, after 'why' when forming a question, the base form of the verb should be used. Therefore, 'Why go?' is correct.

× I don't think I need to go to library.

✓ I don't think I need to go to the library.

The noun 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Omitting 'the' before 'library' is incorrect.

× Sometimes I talked to the librarian as well, asking him or her about the new arrivals of the books.

✓ Sometimes I talk to the librarian as well, asking him or her about the new arrivals of the books.

The question is about usual activities, so the present tense 'talk' should be used instead of the past tense 'talked' to indicate habitual action.

× And I also take my laptop to the library to work there because the library.

✓ And I also take my laptop to the library to work there because the library is quiet and comfortable.

The sentence is incomplete and lacks a predicate after 'because the library'. A complete sentence requires a subject and a verb to express a complete thought.

× I found that the library is a nice place to go.

✓ I found that the library was a nice place to go.

The main verb 'found' is in the past tense, so the subordinate clause should also be in the past tense for consistency.

× ...because the library is comfortable and quite a place to finish his homework.

✓ ...because the library is a comfortable and quiet place to finish his homework.

The word 'quite' is an adverb meaning 'completely' or 'very', but here the adjective 'quiet' (meaning silent) is intended. Also, the article 'a' should precede the adjectives and noun together.

× his parents often takes him to the library on weekends

✓ his parents often take him to the library on weekends

The subject 'parents' is plural, so the verb should be 'take' instead of 'takes' to agree in number.
