Paper— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and avoid fillers such as “uh,” “you know,” and “I can say.” Use the past tense consistently and improve article and word-choice accuracy: say “paper crafts,” “houses and flowers,” and “show them to my teachers and friends.” Add one specific detail about why you enjoyed the activity.

Ví dụ: Yes, I made paper crafts quite often when I was a child. I especially enjoyed making small houses and flowers, and I usually showed them to my teachers and friends. Their positive comments made me feel proud and encouraged me to make more.

Gợi ý: Use the past tense throughout: “liked” and “made.” Answer with a clear topic sentence, and replace unnatural expressions such as “do houses,” “demonstrated it,” and “said to me the compliment” with “make houses,” “showed them,” and “complimented me.” Use a linking word such as “because” to explain your enjoyment.

Ví dụ: As a child, I liked making houses and flowers out of paper. I often showed my creations to my friends and teachers because their compliments made me feel happy and proud. It was a simple hobby, but I really enjoyed being creative.

Gợi ý: Give a more natural direct answer and avoid excessive hesitation. Distinguish between writing letters and keeping a diary, and use correct verb forms: “I still write,” “I also try,” and “I record.” Explain when or why you write letters, rather than adding an unrelated idea without a clear connection.

Ví dụ: Yes, I still write physical letters occasionally, especially to close friends who live far away. I enjoy it because a handwritten letter feels more personal than a text message. I also keep a diary, where I record what I do each day.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear subject and verb: “Yes, some people still keep handwritten letters.” Use “handwritten,” not “handwriting,” and say “it is quite romantic,” not “it’s a quite romantic.” Improve the conditional sentence by saying “If someone sent me a handwritten letter, it would be a lovely surprise.” Add a specific reason people preserve letters, such as their sentimental value.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think some people still keep handwritten letters, especially when they have sentimental value. They may save letters from family members or old friends because these messages remind them of special moments. Personally, receiving a handwritten letter would be a lovely surprise because it feels thoughtful and unique.

Gợi ý: Use the correct structure “I sometimes carry paper and pens with me.” Say “when I plan to walk” or “when I am planning to walk,” and replace “on somewhere in nature” with “somewhere in nature.” Reduce fillers and explain the purpose more clearly with a specific example, such as writing a poem or recording an interesting idea.

Ví dụ: Yes, I sometimes carry a small notebook and a pen when I go out, particularly if I am going for a walk in nature. I like having them with me because I can write down interesting thoughts or compose a short poem. It is also useful for recording ideas that I might otherwise forget.

× I sometimes made some kind of houses, the flowers, uh, and uh, I, you know, like to show, uh, it to my teachers and my friends.

✓ I sometimes made some houses and flowers, and I liked to show them to my teachers and friends.

The definite article the is unnecessary before plural nouns when you are speaking generally. Use some houses and flowers instead. Also, houses and flowers are plural, so the pronoun them is needed instead of it.

× I sometimes made some kind of houses, the flowers, uh, and uh, I, you know, like to show, uh, it to my teachers and my friends.

✓ I sometimes made some houses and flowers, and I liked to show them to my teachers and friends.

The pronoun must agree with its antecedent. Since houses and flowers are plural, use them rather than it.

× When I was a child I like to do houses and flowers with paper and I always demonstrated it to my friends and my teachers, and when they said to me the compliment, it was for me great pleasure.

✓ When I was a child, I liked to make houses and flowers with paper. I always showed them to my friends and teachers, and when they complimented me, it was a great pleasure for me.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a finished period in the past, so like must change to liked. Use make rather than do for creating paper objects.

× When I was a child I like to do houses and flowers with paper and I always demonstrated it to my friends and my teachers, and when they said to me the compliment, it was for me great pleasure.

✓ When I was a child, I liked to make houses and flowers with paper. I always showed them to my friends and teachers, and when they complimented me, it was a great pleasure for me.

Them is required because it refers to the plural objects, houses and flowers. It cannot refer correctly to both plural nouns.

× When I was a child I like to do houses and flowers with paper and I always demonstrated it to my friends and my teachers, and when they said to me the compliment, it was for me great pleasure.

✓ When I was a child, I liked to make houses and flowers with paper. I always showed them to my friends and teachers, and when they complimented me, it was a great pleasure for me.

The singular countable noun pleasure needs an article in this sentence. Use a great pleasure, not great pleasure with no article.

× Yes, the, uh, I still write physical letters and uh, I like, uh it. And sometimes, uh, I'm also, uh, try to record my everyday schedule in my diary and uh, it's uh, for me like a routine.

✓ Yes, I still write physical letters, and I like them. Sometimes, I also try to record my daily schedule in my diary, and it is a routine for me.

The phrase I am try is not grammatically possible. For a repeated habit, use the simple present: I try. The simple present is appropriate because the speaker describes a regular activity.

× Yes, the, uh, I still write physical letters and uh, I like, uh it. And sometimes, uh, I'm also, uh, try to record my everyday schedule in my diary and uh, it's uh, for me like a routine.

✓ Yes, I still write physical letters, and I like them. Sometimes, I also try to record my daily schedule in my diary, and it is a routine for me.

Letters is plural, so the object pronoun should be them rather than it. Use it only when referring to one singular noun or one activity.

× Yes, the, uh, I still write physical letters and uh, I like, uh it. And sometimes, uh, I'm also, uh, try to record my everyday schedule in my diary and uh, it's uh, for me like a routine.

✓ Yes, I still write physical letters, and I like them. Sometimes, I also try to record my daily schedule in my diary, and it is a routine for me.

The phrase it is for me like a routine has an incorrect structure. The natural structure is it is a routine for me. Avoid placing like between the subject and the noun phrase in this pattern.

× Are some people I think still keep handwriting letters today And I think it's a quite romantic and it's also different.

✓ Some people, I think, still keep handwritten letters today, and I think they are quite romantic and different.

The sentence does not describe existence, so it should not begin with Are. Begin directly with the subject: Some people. The phrase there are some people would also be grammatically possible, but it is less direct here.

× Are some people I think still keep handwriting letters today And I think it's a quite romantic and it's also different.

✓ Some people, I think, still keep handwritten letters today, and I think they are quite romantic and different.

Handwriting is a present participle and means the act of writing by hand. To describe letters that were written by hand, use the past participle adjective handwritten.

× Are some people I think still keep handwriting letters today And I think it's a quite romantic and it's also different.

✓ Some people, I think, still keep handwritten letters today, and I think they are quite romantic and different.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to letters, which is plural. Use they are instead of it is.

× Are some people I think still keep handwriting letters today And I think it's a quite romantic and it's also different.

✓ Some people, I think, still keep handwritten letters today, and I think they are quite romantic and different.

Quite romantic is an adjective phrase, and quite does not require the article a before the adjective. Say they are quite romantic, not they are a quite romantic.

× So when someone maybe send me a letter which will be a headwriting for me, it will be a great surprise.

✓ So, if someone sends me a handwritten letter, it will be a great surprise.

Someone is a singular third-person subject, so the present-tense verb must be sends, not send. The conditional structure if someone sends ..., it will ... is also the appropriate form for a possible future situation.

× So when someone maybe send me a letter which will be a headwriting for me, it will be a great surprise.

✓ So, if someone sends me a handwritten letter, it will be a great surprise.

Headwriting is not the correct adjective for a letter. Use handwritten, the past participle form of handwrite, to describe a letter written by hand.

× Yes, I'm sometimes Curry paper and pens with, uh, me when I go out, uh, especially when uh, I umm, have planned to walking around the Boulevard on somewhere in the nature.

✓ Yes, I sometimes carry paper and pens with me when I go out, especially when I plan to walk along the boulevard or somewhere in nature.

The sentence describes a regular habit, so use the simple present I sometimes carry. I am sometimes carry is not a possible verb form. Also, carry should be written in lowercase.

× Yes, I'm sometimes Curry paper and pens with, uh, me when I go out, uh, especially when uh, I umm, have planned to walking around the Boulevard on somewhere in the nature.

✓ Yes, I sometimes carry paper and pens with me when I go out, especially when I plan to walk along the boulevard or somewhere in nature.

The verb plan is followed by the infinitive with to, not the -ing form. Therefore, say plan to walk, not plan to walking.

× Yes, I'm sometimes Curry paper and pens with, uh, me when I go out, uh, especially when uh, I umm, have planned to walking around the Boulevard on somewhere in the nature.

✓ Yes, I sometimes carry paper and pens with me when I go out, especially when I plan to walk along the boulevard or somewhere in nature.

Use along the boulevard to describe movement beside or through a boulevard. Use or somewhere in nature, not on somewhere in the nature. The preposition in is correct with the general expression in nature.

× Yes, I'm sometimes Curry paper and pens with, uh, me when I go out, uh, especially when uh, I umm, have planned to walking around the Boulevard on somewhere in the nature.

✓ Yes, I sometimes carry paper and pens with me when I go out, especially when I plan to walk along the boulevard or somewhere in nature.

When nature is used in the general sense, it normally does not take the definite article. Say somewhere in nature, not somewhere in the nature.
