Friends— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer the question directly and compare the two situations using clear past and present tenses. Avoid repeating words such as “and” and “in,” and say “at my workplace” and “when I was at school” rather than “in workplace” and “in the school life.” Add one specific reason or detail to make the comparison more effective.

Exemplo: Yes, there is a clear difference. These days, I usually meet my friends at my workplace or nearby cafés, whereas I used to meet them at school. We often spent time together during breaks or after class.

Sugestão: State the main reasons clearly, such as comfort, noise level, convenience, and privacy. Avoid “more quieter,” which should be “quieter,” and replace unclear phrases such as “achieve so list are rhythm” with precise expressions. Use a linking word such as “because” to explain your reasons.

Exemplo: I think quiet and convenient places are more suitable for meeting because we can talk comfortably without too much noise. Cafés and parks are good choices, while crowded streets or places with loud music can make conversation difficult.

Sugestão: Give a complete answer and clearly explain when you prefer one friend and when you prefer a group. Correct “my moods” to “my mood” or use “how I feel,” and avoid unfinished phrases and repetition such as “sport sport.” Include a specific example for each preference if possible.

Exemplo: It depends on how I feel and what I want to do. I prefer spending time with one close friend when I want to have a deep conversation, but I enjoy being in a group when we play sports or attend a party. Group activities are usually more energetic and exciting.

Sugestão: Your answer is direct and gives a reason, but improve the word choice and grammar. Say “a company dormitory” instead of “a dorm of my company,” and use “inconvenient,” not “unconvenient.” You could also mention what you would do if you had a larger or more private home.

Exemplo: I rarely invite friends to my home because I currently live in a company dormitory, which is quite small and inconvenient for entertaining guests. If I had a larger apartment, I would probably invite them over for dinner or a movie night.

Sugestão: You express a clear opinion and provide a personal reason. Improve the sentence structure by adding commas and using “have been through many things with me” and “overcome many difficulties together.” Avoid repeating “they,” and explain how these friendships affect your life now.

Exemplo: Friends are extremely important to me because many of them have known me since childhood. We have been through many experiences together and overcome several difficulties, so I can always rely on them for emotional support.

Sugestão: The answer is relevant and includes a contrast between your current situation and your future plan. Avoid repeating “now” and “go back,” and replace “gather with them together” with “meet up with them.” Use a clear linking word, such as “however,” to make the contrast smoother.

Exemplo: I don’t often go out with my friends at the moment because I’m working abroad and we live in different countries. However, whenever I return to Taiwan, I make an effort to meet up with them and catch up over a meal.

Sugestão: You give a suitable place and a reason, but correct the repeated “because,” the plural “cafés,” and “a snack,” not “a snake.” Use the natural expression “catch up with each other” rather than “catch up information.” Add a specific description of the cafés if possible.

Exemplo: We usually meet at different cafés because we all enjoy exploring new places. We have a snack, chat about what has happened in our lives, and sometimes choose a café with a quiet atmosphere so we can talk comfortably.

Sugestão: The activities are relevant and specific, but the sentence needs clearer parallel structure. Use “go to art and design exhibitions, watch movies, and attend concerts,” and add a linking word before the reason. A short detail about why you enjoy these activities would make the answer more natural and developed.

Exemplo: We usually go to art and design exhibitions, watch movies, and attend concerts because we share an interest in the arts. These activities give us something interesting to discuss afterward, and we often discover new artists or films together.

Sugestão: Answer with one clear grammatical structure and use the present perfect correctly. Say “I have known them for over ten years” rather than “We have met over ten years.” Avoid the repetition in “my best friends are called” and briefly explain how you met or why the friendship has lasted.

Exemplo: Yes, I have two best friends, Rella and Zack, whom I have known for over ten years. We first met at school and have stayed close ever since. We have shared many important experiences, which is why our friendship has lasted so long.

✓ Yes, there is a definite difference between where I meet my friends now and where I met them in the past. I usually meet my friends at my workplace now, compared with where I met them at school in the past.

✓ Yes, there is a definite difference between where I meet my friends now and where I met them in the past. I usually meet my friends at my workplace now, compared with where I met them at school in the past.

✓ Yes, there is a definite difference between where I meet my friends now and where I met them in the past. I usually meet my friends at my workplace now, compared with where I met them at school in the past.

Use the past tense met for the place where you met your friends in the past. The present tense meet is used for your current situation.

✓ Yes, there is a definite difference between where I meet my friends now and where I met them in the past. I usually meet my friends at my workplace now, compared with where I met them at school in the past.

Use the possessive determiner my before workplace, and do not use an article before school when referring to school as an institution or period of life. The phrase a past is also incorrect; use the past.

× In my opinion I think some places are more quieter and more convenient to achieve so list are rhythm for me to take some meeting.

✓ In my opinion, some places are quieter and more convenient, so they are more suitable for me to have meetings.

Quieter is already a comparative adjective, so it cannot be preceded by more. Use quieter, not more quieter.

× In my opinion I think some places are more quieter and more convenient to achieve so list are rhythm for me to take some meeting.

✓ In my opinion, some places are quieter and more convenient, so they are more suitable for me to have meetings.

The original sentence contains an unclear and incomplete structure. Use a clear subject and verb in the second clause: they are more suitable.

× For me, it depends on my moods and situation. Sometimes I enjoy a group of activities with friends together. For example, like sport sport gathering and the other any other time I

✓ For me, it depends on my mood and situation. Sometimes I enjoy doing activities with my friends. For example, we might play sports or attend a sports gathering, while at other times, I prefer other activities.

When referring to a person’s general emotional state, mood is normally singular. Sports is used as a plural noun when referring to athletic activities, and activities should be used consistently.

× For me, it depends on my moods and situation. Sometimes I enjoy a group of activities with friends together. For example, like sport sport gathering and the other any other time I

✓ For me, it depends on my mood and situation. Sometimes I enjoy doing activities with my friends. For example, we might play sports or attend a sports gathering, while at other times, I prefer other activities.

The final part ends with I but does not include a main verb, so it is an incomplete sentence. Add a verb such as prefer to complete the idea.

× Honestly, I seldom invite my friends to my home because I live in a dorm of my company now and this is very unconvenient.

✓ Honestly, I seldom invite my friends to my home because I now live in a dormitory provided by my company, and it is very inconvenient.

Use provided by my company to show who supplies or manages the dormitory. The preposition of does not express this relationship naturally.

× Friends mean a lot to me because most of them are my childhood friends which means they they go through many things with me and we struggle a lot of difficulties together.

✓ Friends mean a lot to me because most of them are my childhood friends, which means they have gone through many things with me, and we have faced many difficulties together.

The pronoun they is repeated. Remove the duplicate pronoun and use a single, correctly formed clause.

× Friends mean a lot to me because most of them are my childhood friends which means they they go through many things with me and we struggle a lot of difficulties together.

✓ Friends mean a lot to me because most of them are my childhood friends, which means they have gone through many things with me, and we have faced many difficulties together.

The verb struggle is normally followed by with when referring to difficulties. Alternatively, use face difficulties, which does not require a preposition.

× We generally meet each other at different cafes because Because our common interest is visiting various cafe and we can catch up information while we have a snake.

✓ We generally meet at different cafes because our common interest is visiting various cafes, and we can catch up on information while we have a snack.

Because is repeated at the beginning of the subordinate clause. Use it only once, and use and to connect the two related activities.

× We generally meet each other at different cafes because Because our common interest is visiting various cafe and we can catch up information while we have a snake.

✓ We generally meet at different cafes because our common interest is visiting various cafes, and we can catch up on information while we have a snack.

Various must be followed by a plural countable noun, so use cafes rather than cafe.

× We generally meet each other at different cafes because Because our common interest is visiting various cafe and we can catch up information while we have a snake.

✓ We generally meet at different cafes because our common interest is visiting various cafes, and we can catch up on information while we have a snack.

The phrasal verb catch up must be followed by on when it means to exchange or learn recent information. The correct phrase is catch up on information.

× We usually go to some art and design exhibitions watching movies together including attending some concerts because these are our common interests

✓ We usually go to art and design exhibitions, watch movies together, and attend concerts because these are our common interests.

The original sentence mixes different grammatical forms: go, watching, and including attending. Use parallel base-form verbs after the implied subject: go, watch, and attend.

× Honestly, I do have many friends that I've known for a long time since we started. Two of them are my best friends are called Rella and Zack. We have met over ten years.

✓ Honestly, I have many friends whom I have known for a long time. Two of my best friends are called Rella and Zack. We have known each other for over ten years.

The second sentence contains two finite verb structures, are and are called, combined incorrectly. Use one complete structure: Two of my best friends are called Rella and Zack.

× Honestly, I do have many friends that I've known for a long time since we started. Two of them are my best friends are called Rella and Zack. We have met over ten years.

✓ Honestly, I have many friends whom I have known for a long time. Two of my best friends are called Rella and Zack. We have known each other for over ten years.

Use for with a period of time, such as for over ten years. Since is used with a starting point, such as since 2015 or since childhood.

× Honestly, I do have many friends that I've known for a long time since we started. Two of them are my best friends are called Rella and Zack. We have met over ten years.

✓ Honestly, I have many friends whom I have known for a long time. Two of my best friends are called Rella and Zack. We have known each other for over ten years.

Use the present perfect have known for a situation that began in the past and continues now. Have met does not correctly express a continuing friendship over a period of ten years.
