Paper— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly in the first sentence, then add one specific detail about the crafts. Avoid unnatural phrases such as “the only source of material available for me” and “paper made toys.” Use “paper was the only material I had” and “paper toys” instead. Also, use the uncountable form “paper” rather than “the papers” when referring to the material.

Exemplo: Yes, I made paper boats and aeroplanes when I was a child. Paper was the only material I had, so I spent time folding it and decorating my room with the toys I made. I found it simple but really enjoyable.

Sugestão: The answer has a clear main idea, but “bolts” is probably an incorrect word; use “boats.” Avoid repeating the same idea about paper being your main material. The phrase “sometimes I burn them” is grammatically possible but sounds unsafe and is not well developed; replace it with a more natural activity, such as decorating or floating the boats. Use linking words such as “because” or “also” to connect the details.

Exemplo: As a child, I mainly liked making paper boats and aeroplanes because I didn’t have many toys. I also enjoyed decorating them with crayons and seeing how long the boats could float in water. It was a simple activity, but it kept me entertained.

Sugestão: The response is well organized and gives a clear reason and result. However, “write physical letters” does not match the example, which describes writing workplace notes; say “write things down on paper” instead. Use “in the office,” not “in office,” and replace “if something goes wrong later” with a more precise phrase such as “if I need to check the details later.”

Exemplo: I don’t usually write personal letters, but I still write things down on paper at work. For example, I leave short instructions for my colleagues because handwritten notes are direct and easy to understand. I can also refer to them later if I need to check the details.

Sugestão: Your opinion is clear, but the opening phrase “I don’t really say” is unnatural; use “I don’t think many people do.” Avoid the vague expression “lost anywhere anyhow” and say that handwritten letters can be misplaced. Use the comparative form “easier,” not “more easy,” and distinguish between keeping letters and communicating electronically. Add a balanced detail to make the answer more natural and specific.

Exemplo: I don’t think many people keep handwritten letters nowadays because digital messages are much easier and more convenient. People can communicate instantly through social media, email, or messaging apps. However, some people still keep old letters because they have sentimental value.

Sugestão: The answer responds directly and gives a reason, but “carry pen on paper” is incorrect; say “carry a pen and paper.” Replace “record whatever I want to take down” with the more natural “write down anything I need to remember.” Add a specific example, such as making a shopping list or noting an address, to make the response more effective.

Exemplo: No, I don’t usually carry a pen and paper when I go out because they are less convenient than a smartphone. I use my phone to write down shopping lists, addresses, or reminders. It is lighter, and I always have it with me.
