Tidiness— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (“umm”), correct grammar (e.g., “helps me concentrate”), and add one specific example or brief reason using a linking word. Limit to 2–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I like to keep things tidy because my mother taught me good habits when I was a child. For example, I always make my bed and put clothes away, which helps me concentrate better when I study.

Sugestão: Answer directly with a clear past habit statement, use correct tense and pronouns, avoid vague phrasing. Provide a brief specific example and link cause and effect (e.g., “so” or “therefore”).

Exemplo: I didn't always keep my room tidy as a child, so I often couldn't find my toys or clothes. As a result, my mother would get frustrated and taught me to organize my things by using boxes and labels.

Sugestão: Begin with a clear topic sentence about your method, use complete sentences and correct verb forms, and add one specific routine detail with a linking word (e.g., “for example” or “so”).

Exemplo: My study space is quite simple, so it is easy to keep tidy. For example, I use only a laptop and a few pens, and after studying I always put pens and papers back in my bag and wipe the desk clean.

Sugestão: Answer directly with a clear opinion, avoid repetition, complete your thought about guests, and add a specific reason or example using a linking word (e.g., “because” or “for example”). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I think being tidy is important because it reduces distractions and helps me focus. Also, a tidy space makes a good impression on guests; for example, friends who visit often compliment my clean desk.

× And keep things tidy can help me be more concentration, concentrate.

✓ Keeping things tidy can help me concentrate more.

The gerund form 'Keeping' is required to act as the subject of the clause. 'Be more concentration' is incorrect: 'concentrate more' (verb + adverb) expresses the intended meaning. Use the verb 'concentrate' with the adverb 'more'.

× To be honest, I didn't always keep tidy so I usually can't find my toys or clothes.

✓ To be honest, I didn't always keep things tidy so I usually couldn't find my toys or clothes.

The first clause is past tense ('didn't'), so the consequence should also be in past tense: 'couldn't find' not 'can't find'. Also include 'things' after 'keep' to make the phrase natural.

× My mother was angry to this a situation so he taught me to change.

✓ My mother was angry about this situation so she taught me to change.

Use 'about' with 'angry' to indicate cause, not 'to'. Remove the extra article 'a' before 'situation'. Pronoun for 'mother' must be 'she', not 'he'.

× I don't have many work items because I mainly use a computer and only a few pens and papers, so my desk is easy to keep tidy.

✓ I don't have many work items because I mainly use a computer and only have a few pens and papers, so my desk is easy to keep tidy.

The main clause needs a verb for the second part: 'only have a few pens and papers'. This keeps parallel structure with 'I mainly use a computer and only have...'.

× I usually put the pens and papers back to my bag after I.

✓ I usually put the pens and papers back in my bag afterwards.

Use 'put back in my bag' rather than 'back to my bag'. 'After I' is incomplete; use 'afterwards' or 'after I finish' to complete the idea.

× If my workspace is tidy, I can be more, I can concentrate better because there are not many things to distract my attention.

✓ If my workspace is tidy, I can concentrate better because there are not many things to distract my attention.

Remove the redundant fragment 'I can be more,' which is incomplete. The sentence is clearer and grammatical as a single clause stating the result.

× And if a guest see.

✓ And if a guest sees it, they will feel welcome.

The clause is incomplete. Use third person singular present 'sees' for 'a guest' and complete the sentence with a result clause. Also add an object ('it') and a consequence for clarity; use 'they' as a gender-neutral singular pronoun.

× Yes, I like to keep things tidy, umm, because my mother taught me to keep tidy when I was a kid and it has been a habit now.

✓ Yes, I like to keep things tidy because my mother taught me to keep things tidy when I was a kid and it has become a habit now.

Repeat 'things' for clarity: 'keep things tidy'. Use 'has become a habit' rather than 'has been a habit' to emphasize the change from past teaching to a present habit; either is possible but 'has become' is more natural. Also remove filler 'umm' in formal responses.
