Tidiness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Câu trả lời cần rõ ràng hơn, ngắn gọn và đúng ngữ pháp. Tránh từ lặp, sử dụng thì phù hợp và một câu chủ đề rõ ràng rồi bổ sung 1-2 chi tiết hỗ trợ bằng liên từ. Ví dụ: nói thẳng bạn có hay giữ gọn gàng hay không, khi nào bạn dọn, và lý do/hiệu quả của việc đó.

Ví dụ: I don't keep things tidy all the time, but I tidy up when my room gets messy. For example, I usually spend a couple of hours cleaning on weekends so I can find things more easily during the week.

Gợi ý: Cần dùng thì quá khứ một cách chính xác và sắp xếp câu rõ ràng: mở đầu bằng câu chủ đề ở quá khứ, rồi nêu lý do hoặc ví dụ cụ thể. Tránh lặp từ và sửa lỗi nhỏ về danh từ số nhiều/ít.

Ví dụ: When I was a child, I often kept my room tidy because I had more free time. For instance, I regularly put my toys on shelves so that I wouldn't lose them.

Gợi ý: Câu trả lời nên bắt đầu bằng cách mô tả phương pháp hiện tại, dùng liên từ để nối các ý và cung cấp chi tiết cụ thể về cách bạn tổ chức (ví dụ: checklist, hộp đựng, nhắc nhở). Tránh chuyển đổi ngữ cảnh bất ngờ ("Back then") nếu đang nói về hiện tại.

Ví dụ: I keep my study space tidy by using a simple checklist and storage boxes. For example, I write daily tasks in a notebook and put books back on the shelf immediately so I don't lose them.

Gợi ý: Ý tưởng rõ ràng nhưng cần câu mở đầu tiêu đề ngắn gọn và cấu trúc mạch lạc hơn. Dùng linking words (because, therefore) để giải thích lý do và đưa thêm ví dụ cụ thể về hậu quả khi không gọn gàng.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think being tidy is necessary because it helps you find important items quickly. For example, if my assignments are organized, I don't waste time looking for them before deadlines.

× None after I just tried to organize everything when I consider it is so like messy, you know?

✓ None, after I try to organize everything when I think it is very messy.

The original sentence has unclear structure and informal fillers (like 'so like') and tense inconsistency. Use present tense 'try' and 'think' to match the habitual meaning; remove fillers and reorder for clarity. Suggestion: 'None, after I try to organize everything when I think it is very messy.'

× I'm quite a lazy guy so I just spend time on glaring everything when I was really free.

✓ I'm quite a lazy guy so I just spend time clearing everything when I'm free.

The verb 'glaring' is incorrect here; the intended verb is 'clear' with -ing to form 'clearing'. Also tense inconsistency: use present 'I'm' and 'I'm free' for habitual action. Suggestion: replace 'glaring' with 'clearing' and keep present tense.

× Back then I was quite free and had a lot of time like my free time so I often clear my rooms or clear my all my favorite toys.

✓ Back then I had a lot of free time, so I often cleared my room and tidied all my favorite toys.

Mixes past and present: 'back then' requires past tense 'cleared' and 'tidied'. Also 'clear my rooms' and 'clear my all my' are ungrammatical; use singular 'room' or 'rooms' consistently and 'all my favorite toys'. Suggestion: use past simple verbs and correct word order.

× So just want to ensure that I didn't get lost anything.

✓ So I just wanted to make sure I didn't lose anything.

Missing subject 'I' and incorrect verb 'get lost' instead of 'lose'. Tense should be past 'wanted' to match previous sentence. Suggestion: include subject and use correct verb 'lose'.

× Back then I often lost my toys and my books, so I set a reminder.

✓ I used to lose my toys and books, so I set reminders.

Mixes past simple 'lost' with 'set a reminder'—better to use 'used to' for habitual past and plural 'reminders' for recurring action. Suggestion: 'I used to lose my toys and books, so I set reminders.'

× I just jot things down on my own notebook to like.

✓ I just jot things down in my notebook.

Unnecessary filler 'to like' and wrong preposition 'on' for 'notebook' (use 'in'). Suggestion: remove 'to like' and use 'in my notebook'.

× Use a simple checklist to make sure I put things by in the right place in the right time.

✓ I use a simple checklist to make sure I put things in the right place at the right time.

Prepositions are incorrect: use 'in the right place' and 'at the right time'. Also add subject 'I' and keep present tense for habitual action. Suggestion: 'I use a simple checklist to make sure I put things in the right place at the right time.'

× Definitely keeping track on everything is the right way to make sure that you don't get lost anything important like a school project or a school assignment.

✓ Definitely keeping track of everything is the right way to make sure you don't lose anything important, like a school project or assignment.

Incorrect preposition 'track on' should be 'track of'. 'Get lost anything' is incorrect; use 'lose anything'. Also reduce repetition 'a school project or assignment'. Suggestion: use 'keeping track of' and 'lose'.

× It would be very annoying to spend time on finding this out.

✓ It would be very annoying to spend time looking for it.

Awkward phrasing 'spend time on finding this out'; better: 'spend time looking for it'. Use pronoun 'it' to refer to the lost item. Suggestion: 'spend time looking for it.'
