Tidiness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more coherent and concise: start with a clear topic sentence saying whether you like keeping things tidy, avoid hesitations (e.g., "uh"), correct contradictions (you said you "really tidy" then said it looks messy), and use 2–3 supporting details linked logically. Use linking words like "however" and "so". Watch grammar (e.g., "when guests are coming" or "if guests are coming").

Ví dụ: I don't particularly enjoy keeping things tidy. However, I try to straighten my room quickly when guests are coming, because I dislike long cleaning sessions and prefer to leave smaller items where they are. As a result, my room often looks slightly messy with textbooks on the floor.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear topic sentence and coherent supporting details. Avoid fillers like "uhm" and incomplete phrases ("hated doing. Umm, quarrels"). Explain reasons and give a specific example with correct grammar (e.g., "my parents had to tidy my room for me"). Use linking words such as "because" and "for example."

Ví dụ: No, I wasn't tidy as a child. Because I preferred playing to tidying, my toys were often left on the floor, so my parents had to tidy my room for me. For example, I would leave Lego and books scattered around after playing.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct topic sentence that answers how you keep your study space tidy. Use clearer linking words and correct singular/plural and article use ("available study desks" or "an available study desk"). Expand slightly with one specific habit (e.g., keeping only necessary items on the desk) to show personal responsibility for tidiness.

Ví dụ: I keep my study space tidy by using the local library rather than studying at home. The library is quieter and provides available study desks, so I only bring a laptop and the books I need, which helps me stay organized and focus on my work.

Gợi ý: Good direct answer — improve grammar and add one linking word. Correct verb forms ("reduces stress") and expand slightly with a specific consequence or routine that demonstrates tidiness (e.g., tidying for 10 minutes each morning). Keep it concise and natural.

Ví dụ: Absolutely. I think being tidy is necessary because a clean room makes me feel refreshed and reduces stress. For example, when my desk is organized I can concentrate better and complete tasks faster, so I spend ten minutes each morning tidying my workspace.

× I don't really like uh, keeping things tidy.

✓ I don't really like keeping things tidy.

Remove the filler 'uh' in formal speech. The verb form 'like keeping' is correct; just eliminate the hesitation to be clear and fluent.

× I really tidy my room so it usually looks messy with textbook and small items lying around because I dislike cleaning, but occasionally I will tidy up quickly for guests are coming.

✓ I don't really tidy my room so it usually looks messy, with textbooks and small items lying around because I dislike cleaning, but occasionally I tidy up quickly when guests are coming.

Problems: sentence structure and subject-verb agreement and incorrect clause connector. 'I really tidy my room' contradicts context; change to 'I don't really tidy my room.' 'textbook' should be plural 'textbooks' (Singular and plural issue). Replace 'for guests are coming' with correct time clause 'when guests are coming' or 'when guests come'. Use simple present 'tidy up' for habitual action rather than 'will tidy up'.

× No, I didn't. I was quite messy as a child because I hated doing. Umm, quarrels and preferred playing instead.

✓ No, I didn't. I was quite messy as a child because I hated doing chores and preferred playing instead.

Incomplete phrase 'hated doing.' needs an object: 'chores'. 'Umm, quarrels' is incorrect and unnecessary; likely intended 'chores' rather than 'quarrels'. Keep past tense 'hated' and 'preferred' consistent.

× For example, my toys were often left on the floor and my parents hard to tidy my room for me.

✓ For example, my toys were often left on the floor and my parents had to tidy my room for me.

'hard to tidy' is incorrect; should be 'had to tidy' to express obligation in the past. This fixes verb form and meaning.

× I don't study at home, instead I usually study in the library near my house because it's quieter and helps me concentrate.

✓ I don't study at home; instead, I usually study in the library near my house because it's quieter and helps me concentrate.

Grammar mostly correct; add punctuation for clarity. Verb tenses are consistent. No major change except punctuation.

× The library's atmosphere is good and it's available study desk.

✓ The library's atmosphere is good and there are available study desks.

'available study desk' is ungrammatical. Use plural 'desks' if general, and 'there are' to introduce their existence. This corrects article and sentence structure.

× It makes it much easier to focus on my work.

✓ It makes it much easier to focus on my work.

Sentence is grammatically correct; present participle usage is correct. No change needed.

× Absolutely. I think being tidy is necessary because a clean room makes me feel refreshed and reduce stress.

✓ Absolutely. I think being tidy is necessary because a clean room makes me feel refreshed and reduces stress.

Subject-verb agreement: 'a clean room' (singular) requires verb 'reduces' not 'reduce'. Maintain present simple tense.

× For example, when my desk is organized, I can concentrate better and get more work done.

✓ For example, when my desk is organized, I can concentrate better and get more work done.

Sentence is correct; 'concentrate' and 'get' are appropriate. No change needed.
