Tidiness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid vague phrases and incorrect verb forms. Focus on natural expressions (e.g., “most of the time” + present simple/perfect) and reduce redundancy.

Ví dụ: Yes, I usually try to keep my room tidy. For example, I put things away every night and wash my sheets weekly, which helps me relax. However, when I’m very busy or tired from studying, I sometimes leave dishes or clutter for a few days.

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence, then support it with a specific reason or example. Use correct past tense and plural/singular agreement. Link ideas with words like “because” or “now” to show contrast between past and present.

Ví dụ: No, I didn’t. My mother often complained because my room was messy, and I didn’t care much about tidiness back then. Now, as a high school student, I’m much more organized because I understand how clutter affects my concentration.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear topic sentence, then use specific actions and linking words. Correct small grammar mistakes (articles, plural forms, verb forms) and avoid hesitations. Mention one or two concrete habits and their positive effect.

Ví dụ: I maintain a high standard for my study area: I tidy up at the end of each day and take out the trash. I also file books and papers in labeled folders, which makes it easy to find materials and improves my concentration.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and then give a clear reason with a specific example. Fix grammar: use infinitives and articles correctly, and simplify phrasing. Link cause and effect with words like “because” and “so”. Keep the answer to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think being tidy is important because it helps me concentrate. For example, when I file books and papers in labeled folders, I can quickly find what I need, so I study more efficiently.

× I will say yes most of the time I do.

✓ I would say yes; most of the time I do.

The original 'I will say' sounds unnatural when giving an opinion; 'would' is used for polite or hypothetical statements about preference. Also add a semicolon or comma to separate clauses for clarity.

× I try to keep my room tidy, like I could clean up things every night and then I wash my sheets every week.

✓ I try to keep my room tidy; for example, I clean up every night and wash my sheets every week.

'like I could clean up' is incorrect here. Use for example to introduce examples and use simple present 'clean up' for habitual actions. 'things' is vague; 'clean up' without 'things' is clearer.

× But I can also feel tired from study and not doing dirty dishes for days so I guess I do life entirely.

✓ But I sometimes feel too tired from studying and may leave dirty dishes for days, so I guess I don't always manage everything perfectly.

Several issues: 'feel tired from study' should be 'tired from studying' (gerund). 'not doing dirty dishes' is incorrect; use 'leave dirty dishes'. 'do life entirely' is ungrammatical and unclear; replace with 'don't always manage everything perfectly' to convey intended meaning.

× But sometimes life is rough and you can't keep everything perfect.

✓ But sometimes life is rough and you can't keep everything perfect.

This sentence is grammatically correct. It appropriately uses the present simple and modal 'can't' to state a general truth; no change needed.

× No, I don't think so. My mom always complain about how dirty I was, but I feel like that was just because she has really high standards.

✓ No, I don't think so. My mom always complained about how dirty I was, but I felt that was just because she had really high standards.

'complain' should be past tense 'complained' to match 'was'. 'I feel like that was' mixes present feeling with past context; use 'I felt' for consistency. 'she has' should be 'she had' to keep past timeline.

× But yeah, I am definitely more organized as a high school student than as a kid.

✓ But yeah, I am definitely more organized now as a high school student than I was as a kid.

Add 'now' for clarity and include 'I was' for the comparison to past state. This fixes omitted verb in the second clause.

× Uh usually keep high standard for my workplace, so I tidy up at the end of each day and take out the trash.

✓ Uh, I usually keep high standards for my workspace, so I tidy up at the end of each day and take out the trash.

Subject 'I' is missing before 'usually'. Use plural 'standards' and 'workspace' is more natural than 'workplace' for a desk area. Add commas for natural pauses.

× I also put books and the papers into folders and the label them which make everything more organized and help me better concentrate.

✓ I also put books and papers into folders and label them, which makes everything more organized and helps me concentrate better.

Remove unnecessary 'the' before 'papers'. Use 'label' not 'the label'. Relative clause needs 'makes' to agree with singular 'which' referencing the action; 'helps me concentrate better' is the correct verb form and adverb placement.

× Yes, definitely like I mentioned before to keep everything targeted help me to concentrate better when I am studying of working for examples, when I keep every books and the papers into the labels, I can better to from the paper that I need which help me to be more efficient.

✓ Yes, definitely. As I mentioned before, keeping everything organized helps me concentrate better when I am studying or working. For example, when I put books and papers into labeled folders, I can find the papers I need more easily, which helps me be more efficient.

The original is run-on and contains many errors: 'to keep everything targeted' is wrong — use 'keeping everything organized'. 'help me' should be 'helps me' (subject-verb agreement). 'of working' should be 'or working'. 'every books' should be 'books' (no plural article); 'the papers' unnecessary 'the'. 'into the labels' should be 'into labeled folders'. 'I can better to from the paper' is ungrammatical; use 'I can find the papers I need more easily'. Break into two sentences for clarity and correct verb forms throughout.
