Tidiness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be concise and correct grammar. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one clear reason with a linking word. Avoid redundant phrases like "I do like to think to" and use correct collocations (e.g., "I like to keep things tidy"). Keep it under 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I like to keep things tidy. I find a tidy room helps me think clearly because there are fewer distractions, so I can focus better on tasks.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and use correct tense. Use one clear reason and a linking word (e.g., "but" or "however") to show change over time. Correct mistakes like "my mother will come" (use past: "would come") and avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: No, I didn't. It was always messy when I was a child because I preferred playing to tidying, but as I grew older I realised the benefits of keeping my room clean.

Gợi ý: Be specific and use clear vocabulary. Replace vague phrases like "a day sets" with "a set day" or "a weekly schedule." Avoid fillers such as "you know" and limit to 2–3 sentences that explain method and frequency with linking words (e.g., "so").

Ví dụ: I tidy my workspace once a week on a designated cleaning day, so I put away papers, wipe surfaces, and organise files to prevent clutter.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence and two concise supporting reasons using linking words like "first" and "also." Improve phrasing (e.g., "out of respect for yourself" -> "as a sign of self-respect") and avoid vague statements like "mess is not good."

Ví dụ: Yes, I believe it is necessary. First, being tidy is a sign of self-respect and makes it easier to find things, and also it promotes better hygiene, reducing dust and germs.

× Yes, I do like to think to keep things tidy.

✓ Yes, I do like to keep things tidy.

The phrase 'to think to keep' is incorrect; the verb 'think' is unnecessary here. Use 'do like to' + base verb 'keep' to express preference. Suggestion: remove the extra 'think' to make the sentence concise and grammatically correct.

× I think tidiness is part of a way that can keep your brain free from any clutter.

✓ I think tidiness is a way to keep your brain free from clutter.

The original uses an awkward structure 'part of a way that can keep' and redundant 'any clutter.' Simplify by using 'a way to keep' and omit 'any' for natural English. Suggestion: use clear noun phrase + infinitive structure: 'a way to keep your brain free from clutter.'

× So it is important for me to think straight when my room is tidy.

✓ So it is important for me to think clearly when my room is tidy.

The adverb 'straight' is unnatural in this context; 'think clearly' is the correct collocation. Also keep present tense to match general statement. Suggestion: use appropriate adverb 'clearly.'

× Absolutely not. It's always, it was always a problem.

✓ Absolutely not. It was always a problem.

Mixing 'It's always' (present) and 'it was always' (past) in the same sentence creates tense inconsistency. Since question asks about childhood (past), use past tense 'It was always a problem.' Suggestion: maintain past tense when referring to habitual past situations.

× My mother will come into my room, just called me to make sure that I clean it.

✓ My mother used to come into my room and would call me to make sure that I cleaned it.

For habitual past actions, use 'used to' or 'would' rather than 'will.' Also 'called' is inconsistent; use past habitual forms and 'cleaned' (past) to match. Suggestion: use 'used to' and 'would' for repeated past actions and keep verbs in past tense.

× But with age, I've learned that it is important to keep your room clean.

✓ But with age, I've learned that it's important to keep your room clean.

This sentence is mostly correct; minor change: contract 'it is' to 'it's' for natural speech. Tense 'I've learned' (present perfect) appropriately connects past learning with present. Suggestion: use contraction in spoken responses for naturalness.

× I keep my works tidied or my workspace tidy by having a day sets.

✓ I keep my work tidy or my workspace tidy by having set days for cleaning.

'Works' is incorrect for this context—'work' as an uncountable noun or 'my tasks' if plural. 'Day sets' is ungrammatical; use 'set days' or 'scheduled days.' Also use 'tidy' rather than 'tidied' for habitual state. Suggestion: use 'set days' and 'work' (uncountable) or 'workspace.'

× And on that day I just try to clean everything to make sure there's no, you know, there's no dirt and everything is what it's supposed to be.

✓ On those days I try to clean everything to make sure there's no dirt and that everything is where it's supposed to be.

Use plural 'those days' to match 'set days.' Remove filler 'you know' for clarity. Replace 'everything is what it's supposed to be' with 'everything is where it's supposed to be' which is the correct idiom. Suggestion: use clear phrasing and correct idiomatic expression.

× Yes, I do think it is necessary to be tidy first of all out of respect for yourself.

✓ Yes, I do think it is necessary to be tidy, first of all out of respect for yourself.

Sentence is mostly correct; add a comma after 'tidy' for clarity and natural pause. Tense and structure are appropriate. Suggestion: include punctuation and natural pauses.

× Keeping things where they're supposed to be is very important for the clarity of mind.

✓ Keeping things where they're supposed to be is very important for clarity of mind.

Remove the definite article 'the' before 'clarity of mind'—the phrase is typically used without 'the' in this context. Pronoun use is fine; this is an article choice. Suggestion: omit 'the' for a more natural expression.

× Also for hygiene purposes, I think mess is not good.

✓ Also, for hygiene purposes, I think a mess is not good.

Use the noun phrase 'a mess' instead of bare 'mess' when speaking about an untidy state. Add a comma after 'Also' for natural rhythm. Suggestion: use appropriate article with countable/uncountable noun phrases.
