Paper— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more fluent and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples with brief reasons. Avoid pauses and repetition (uh, I, I). Use linking words like "for example" or "also" to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have. I often made paper cranes, which in my culture are symbols of happiness, and paper airplanes, which were my favorite childhood toys. For example, I would fold airplanes to play with friends at school, and I kept a few cranes as decorations.

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence and add a concise reason. Reduce hesitations and unnecessary details. Use a linking word like "because" or "however" to make the explanation coherent.

Ví dụ: Yes, but much less than before. Because I am a postgraduate student, I do most of my work on a computer; however, I still handwrite notes or short messages occasionally when it is quicker.

Gợi ý: Structure your answer: give a clear opinion, then two specific reasons or examples. Avoid trailing off and fill pauses. Use linking words like "however", "because", and "for example".

Ví dụ: Yes, some people still keep handwritten letters; however, fewer people write them now. Because email and messaging are much faster and more convenient, many letters are replaced by digital communication. For example, older family members may preserve handwritten cards while younger people prefer emails.

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then give one clear reason and an example. Remove stuttering and repeat words. Use linking words like "because" and "for example" to make it coherent and natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I usually carry a small notebook and a pen because I find writing things down helps me remember them. For example, I jot down tasks or ideas during the day so I don't forget important deadlines.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence, then give specific details and a short reason. Avoid filler words and fix grammar (e.g., "convenient to make"). Use linking words such as "because" or "also" to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: As a child, I liked making paper airplanes and paper cranes. The airplanes were easy to fold and became my favorite toys, and the cranes were special because they are traditional symbols of happiness in my culture.

× Uh, yes, I, I have made some, uh, like the paper crane and uh, is, is a sign of, uh, happiness and, uh, awareness.

✓ Uh, yes, I have made some things, like paper cranes, and the crane is a sign of happiness and awareness.

Sentence has issues with missing subject and singular/plural forms (Grammar Problem Type 1 and 26). The phrase 'is, is a sign' lacks an explicit subject and 'the paper crane' should be plural when referring to 'some'. Correction provides a clear subject 'the crane' and plural 'paper cranes'. Suggestion: include explicit subjects and match singular/plural nouns to intended meaning.

× And we also made some, uh, aircraft.

✓ And we also made some paper airplanes.

'Aircraft' is a collective noun usually used for vehicles and is not the common word for children's paper toys. It also creates number ambiguity (Grammar Problem Type 1). Use 'paper airplanes' or 'paper planes' for clarity and correct plural form.

× Uh, it's a toy in our childhood.

✓ They were toys in our childhood.

Tense and subject-number mismatch (Grammar Problem Type 6 and 1). 'It's a toy' uses present singular but refers to past childhood and multiple toys. Use past tense 'were' and plural 'they' to match meaning.

× Yes, I do, but I write less than before because, uh, in 'cause right now I'm a, a postgraduate student in Hope University.

✓ Yes, I do, but I write less than before because right now I'm a postgraduate student at Hope University.

Incorrect preposition and unnecessary filler (Grammar Problem Type 11). Use 'at' with university and remove 'in 'cause'. Also keep present continuous 'I'm' is fine. Suggestion: avoid spoken fillers and use correct preposition 'at'.

× We normally type in the computer, uh, to do our work, uh, but we occasionally use some handwriting.

✓ We normally type on the computer to do our work, but we occasionally use handwriting.

Incorrect preposition 'in' with 'computer' (Grammar Problem Type 11) and awkward article 'some' with 'handwriting'. Use 'on the computer' and omit 'some'. Suggestion: collocate 'type on a computer' and say 'use handwriting'.

× Oh yes, I think so. But more and more people just quit it and, uh, use, uh, the e-mail much more often than, uh, than the handwriting.

✓ Oh yes, I think so. But more and more people just stop doing it and use email much more often than handwriting.

Incorrect verb choice and article use (Grammar Problem Type 4 and 22). 'Quit it' is unnatural; 'stop doing it' is better. 'The e-mail' and 'the handwriting' should be 'email' and 'handwriting' without 'the'. Suggestion: use natural verbs and drop unnecessary articles.

× I think, uh, because handwriting writes so slow and uh.

✓ I think it's because handwriting is so slow.

Incorrect verb usage and adverb/adjective form (Grammar Problem Type 13 and 6). 'Handwriting writes so slow' is ungrammatical — 'handwriting is so slow' uses linking verb; 'slow' should be 'slowly' if describing an action. Better to say 'is so slow'. Suggestion: use copular verb 'is' with adjective or use adverb with action verb.

× Yes, I have these kinds of habits.

✓ Yes, I have these kinds of habits.

No grammatical correction needed; sentence is acceptable. (No change required.)

× I I like to write something important on the paper so it can remind me when I say it again.

✓ I like to write important things on paper so they can remind me later.

Sentence structure and pronoun reference problems (Grammar Problem Type 26 and 12). 'It' is unclear—use 'they' to refer to 'things'. 'On the paper' is unnecessarily specific; 'on paper' is idiomatic. Also remove repetition and fillers. Suggestion: simplify and clarify subject-pronoun agreement.

× I I say it's a it's a very useful way to help me to remember something and.

✓ I think it's a very useful way to help me remember things.

Sentence structure errors and filler repetition (Grammar Problem Type 26). Remove repeated words and unnecessary 'to' before 'remember'. Use plural 'things' for general meaning. Suggestion: keep sentences concise and avoid fillers.

× I'd like to make the paper aircraft and the crane with paper uh, because, uh, they are very convenient to my, uh, make and uh, aircraft is a is my favorite toy in childhood.

✓ I liked to make paper airplanes and cranes because they were easy to make, and the airplane was my favorite toy in childhood.

Past tense is required when talking about childhood (Grammar Problem Type 5). Also singular/plural mismatch and unnatural phrasing 'convenient to my make'. Use 'easy to make' and past tense 'liked'/'were'/'was'. Suggestion: when referring to past habits, use past tense consistently and correct collocations.

× The crane is a symbol of happiness.

✓ The crane is a symbol of happiness.

Sentence is grammatically correct as written; it correctly uses singular noun and article. (No change required.)
