Tidiness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more fluent and concise: give a direct topic sentence, then one brief supporting detail. Remove hesitations and filler words, and keep within 2–3 sentences. Use a linking word if adding detail.

Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I tidy my things once a week, usually on weekends, so my room stays organized and I can find things easily.

Gợi ý: Answer directly about the past, then contrast with the present. Use past tense for childhood and avoid repetition and hesitations. Provide one clear supporting detail with a linking word (e.g., but, however).

Ví dụ: I didn’t have my own room when I was a child, so I couldn’t keep one tidy. However, as a teenager I have my own room and I clean it once a week to keep it orderly.

Gợi ý: Structure your answer with a clear topic sentence and then specific steps. Use linking words (first, then, finally) and avoid repeating words. Give concrete examples of what you do during minor and major cleaning.

Ví dụ: I keep my study space tidy by doing a quick tidy-up before each study session. First I clear papers and put pens back in a holder, and then once a week I do a deeper clean, dusting and organizing my books.

Gợi ý: Give a direct opinion and support it with a clear reason and an example. Use correct grammar (e.g., ‘it affects your performance’) and one linking word to connect opinion and reason.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think being tidy is necessary because it affects your concentration. For example, when my desk is organized I can focus better and finish tasks faster.

× Yes, of course. I, I usually, uh, every once a week I will uh. Tidy up all my things.

✓ Yes, of course. I usually tidy up all my things once a week.

The original sentence misuses 'will' for a habitual action. Habitual actions use the simple present (I tidy up) not 'will'. Also remove filler pauses and reorder 'once a week' to a natural position. Suggestion: use simple present for routines and place time expressions appropriately.

× In during my childhood I don't have a room, but right now in my teenagers age I have, I got a room and I will keep it tidy, uh, once a week.

✓ During my childhood I did not have a room, but now, in my teenage years, I have a room and I keep it tidy once a week.

Multiple issues: tense and incorrect constructions. Use 'during my childhood' (not 'in during') and the past simple 'did not have' to describe a past state. 'Right now in my teenagers age' is ungrammatical; use 'now' and 'in my teenage years'. Replace 'I got a room and I will keep it tidy' with present simple 'I have a room and I keep it tidy' because keeping it tidy once a week is a habitual present action. Remove fillers.

× Usually before I start to study, I will do a minor, minor cleaning and then after that once a week I will do a major cleaning.

✓ Usually before I start studying, I do a minor cleaning, and once a week I do a major cleaning afterwards.

Using 'will' for routine actions is incorrect; use simple present for habitual behaviour. Also use the gerund 'start studying' rather than 'start to study' for naturalness. Reorder 'once a week' and 'afterwards' for clarity. Suggestion: use simple present for routines and gerunds after 'start'.

× Yes, of course it effect on your uh. Performance while you studying.

✓ Yes, of course it affects your performance while you are studying.

'Effect' is a noun; the correct verb is 'affect'. Subject-verb agreement requires 'it affects'. Also use the progressive 'you are studying' to indicate an action in progress. Remove filler and unnecessary preposition 'on'. Suggestion: use 'affect' as verb and match subject-verb agreement, and use 'you are studying' for ongoing actions.
