Hometown— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make the sentence grammatically correct, more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then optionally add one brief detail. Avoid unnecessary words like “which”.

Ví dụ: My hometown is a small city in Shanxi province, in northern China. It’s about three hours from Taiyuan, the provincial capital.

Gợi ý: Open with a concise topic sentence, then give two specific supporting details linked with cohesive devices (firstly, secondly, because). Avoid repetition and improve grammar and vocabulary (e.g., ‘famous for’ and ‘made me feel relaxed’ → ‘make me feel at ease’).

Ví dụ: I like several things about my hometown. Firstly, it’s famous for its hand-pulled noodles, which are cheap and delicious. Secondly, the people are very friendly, especially the older residents who always make me feel at ease.

Gợi ý: Give a direct, grammatically correct answer with a clear time reference. Use present perfect (have lived) for duration and avoid vague phrases like “too long.” You can add one brief clarifying detail.

Ví dụ: I have lived there for over twenty years — I’ve been there since I started college. Most of my family still lives in the same neighbourhood.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear opinion, then use linking words to present reasons and a brief example. Correct grammar (e.g., ‘prefer living in’, ‘there are more job opportunities’). Avoid filler words like ‘Umm’.

Ví dụ: I don’t think it’s ideal for young people because most prefer big, modern cities like Shenzhen or Shanghai. These cities offer more job opportunities and leisure activities, whereas my hometown is quite small and has limited options.

× Well, my hometown is a small city which located in the Shanxi province in the north of China.

✓ Well, my hometown is a small city which is located in Shanxi province in the north of China.

The clause 'which located' requires a passive verb form with the past participle 'located' and the auxiliary 'is' to form 'is located'. Also, 'the Shanxi province' is better as 'Shanxi province' without the definite article when naming provinces. Suggestion: use 'which is located' or 'located' as a reduced relative clause with a comma if rephrased: '...a small city located in Shanxi province.' ','grammar_problem_type_id':9},{
