Ví dụ: Yes, I think being tidy is important because it improves both well-being and productivity. When your space is organized, it is easier to concentrate and you feel less stressed.
× Yes, I definitely, I would like to keep my things tidy.
✓ Yes, I definitely like to keep my things tidy.
The sentence mixes present simple habit with conditional 'would like'. Use present simple 'like' to express general preference or habit. Suggestion: remove 'would' when stating regular preferences.
× Uh, it, it is the habit for me and I usually, uh, clean my desk in my house every day, uh, because it's, it improve, improves my productivity and help me to stay focused.
✓ It is a habit for me and I usually clean my desk at home every day because it improves my productivity and helps me to stay focused.
Multiple issues: use 'is a habit' (correct article and noun phrase), 'at home' is the normal prepositional phrase, and present simple 'improves' and 'helps' needed for habits (subject-verb agreement). Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions and ensure verbs agree with singular subject 'it'.
× Yes, I was a quiet, tidy person as a child, so I was my parents used to encourage me to keep my room tidy.
✓ Yes, I was a quiet, tidy person as a child, so my parents used to encourage me to keep my room tidy.
Redundant 'I was' before 'my parents used to' disrupts past habitual construction. Use 'my parents used to encourage' to indicate repeated past action. Suggestion: remove the extra 'I was'.
× So I I was stood, I stood out from my siblings with my tightness and it it was very good.
✓ I stood out from my siblings because of my tidiness, and that was viewed positively.
The original has redundant words and incorrect noun 'tightness' for 'tidiness', and awkward passive/tense use. Use active past 'I stood out' and noun 'tidiness'. Suggestion: simplify to clear subject-verb-object and use correct vocabulary.
× I have a habit. I usually clean all of the things, uh, from my desk.
✓ I have a habit of cleaning everything from my desk.
More natural English uses 'have a habit of + -ing' and 'everything from my desk' rather than 'clean all of the things from my desk'. Suggestion: combine into one fluid present tense sentence for habits.
× The in end of the day, I usually, uh, work with my fingers and in the end, end of the day, I put all of things in one place and I throw throw away unnecessary things.
✓ At the end of the day, I usually tidy with my hands, and I put all the things in one place and throw away unnecessary items.
Use 'at the end of the day' for time expression. 'Work with my fingers' is unclear; 'tidy with my hands' is clearer. Remove duplicated words and use 'throw away' with direct object. Suggestion: use standard time preposition 'at' and concise verbs.
× Yeah, in my opinion, it's, it plays a crucial role for our well-being in this our productivity.
✓ Yeah, in my opinion it plays a crucial role in our well-being and our productivity.
Use 'plays' in present simple for general truth; correct preposition is 'in' for 'role in', and remove extra pronoun 'this'. Suggestion: keep sentence concise and use 'in' to link role to nouns.
× This is because if you, if you be tidy, you can focus on your job and also it can improve your mentality.
✓ This is because if you are tidy, you can focus on your job and it can also improve your mindset.
Use correct verb 'are' after 'if' for present real condition (first conditional structure with present simple). 'Be tidy' is incorrect in this context. 'Mentality' is less natural than 'mindset'. Place 'also' in a natural position. Suggestion: use 'if you are tidy' and 'it can also improve your mindset'.
