Paper— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly, but use the present perfect to match the question about your experience: “I’ve made…” Also, avoid the awkward structure “especially making”; say what you make, and give one specific example. Capitalize “Teacher’s Day.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I’ve made quite a few paper crafts, especially greeting cards for birthdays and Teacher’s Day. I usually decorate them with colorful paper and a personal message.

Gợi ý: Use the past tense consistently because the question asks about childhood: “I liked” or “I used to.” Avoid repeating “draw drawing,” and replace the unclear phrase “In my own childhood memories” with a direct opening. You can add a clear detail about the classes or what you drew.

Ví dụ: As a child, I loved drawing on paper. I took art classes after kindergarten, where I usually drew animals and scenes from my everyday life.

Gợi ý: Give a clear answer first, then explain when you write letters. The phrase “it depends on who are receiving” is ungrammatical; use “who I’m writing to.” Avoid repeating “physical letters,” and use “a professor” when speaking generally.

Ví dụ: Yes, although I don’t write them very often. I sometimes send handwritten letters to friends because they feel more personal, but I usually email professors about formal matters.

Gợi ý: The question asks about people in general, so begin with “Many people do,” and then use your own experience as an example. Correct subject–verb agreement (“letters mean”) and say “the person who wrote them spent time on them.” Remove the repeated “means” and explain why the letters matter to you.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think many people still keep handwritten letters, especially ones from people close to them. I keep mine in a special box because they feel personal, and they remind me that the sender took time to write them.

Gợi ý: Your main answer is clear, but the explanation is difficult to follow. Use “because” to connect your reason, and avoid repeating “note.” The contrast between using an iPad and carrying a notebook needs clarification; explain what you use each one for.

Ví dụ: Yes, I usually carry a pen and a small notebook because I’m a college student. I take most of my class notes on my iPad, but I use paper to jot down quick reminders and personal thoughts.

× Yes, I do make many crafts with paper, especially making cards for specific dates such as teacher's day or someone's birthday.

✓ Yes, I have made many crafts with paper, especially cards for special occasions such as Teacher's Day or someone's birthday.

The question uses the present perfect to ask about life experience, so answer with 'I have made' rather than the simple present 'I do make.'

× In my own childhood memories I remembered I really like draw drawing at that time.

✓ When I think back to my childhood, I remember that I really liked drawing at that time.

The activity happened during childhood, so use the past tense 'liked.' The revised opening also avoids mixing 'memories' with 'I remembered.'

× In my own childhood memories I remembered I really like draw drawing at that time.

✓ When I think back to my childhood, I remember that I really liked drawing at that time.

After 'like,' the gerund 'drawing' is appropriate here. Do not use the base verb 'draw' together with 'drawing.'

× I've got some classes after kindergarten about drawing

✓ I took some drawing classes after kindergarten.

The classes were part of the student's past, so use the simple past 'took' rather than the present perfect form 'I've got.'

× Yeah, I do write physical letters but it depends on who are receiving that I tend to write physical letters to friends but not in some formal situations such as writing to professor.

✓ Yeah, I do write physical letters, but it depends on who is receiving them. I tend to write physical letters to friends, but not in formal situations such as when writing to a professor.

In the clause 'who is receiving them,' the singular subject 'who' takes the singular verb 'is,' not 'are.'

× Yeah, I do write physical letters but it depends on who are receiving that I tend to write physical letters to friends but not in some formal situations such as writing to professor.

✓ Yeah, I do write physical letters, but it depends on who is receiving them. I tend to write physical letters to friends, but not in formal situations such as when writing to a professor.

Use 'them' to refer to the plural noun 'physical letters.' The singular pronoun 'that' does not agree with this plural reference.

× Yeah, I do write physical letters but it depends on who are receiving that I tend to write physical letters to friends but not in some formal situations such as writing to professor.

✓ Yeah, I do write physical letters, but it depends on who is receiving them. I tend to write physical letters to friends, but not in formal situations such as when writing to a professor.

The singular countable noun 'professor' needs an article. Use 'a professor' when referring to any professor.

× In my own experience, I do keep handwritten letters today. I've got a special box for that.

✓ In my own experience, I keep handwritten letters. I've got a special box for them.

'Them' is the correct plural pronoun to refer to 'handwritten letters.' 'That' is singular and does not agree with the plural noun.

× I think it's kind of meaningful to me because handwritten letters means means the one who gave it to you spend much time on that.

✓ I think they're meaningful to me because handwritten letters mean that the people who gave them to you spend a lot of time writing them.

'Handwritten letters' and 'the people' are plural subjects, so use 'mean' and 'spend,' not 'means' and 'spends.' The repeated 'means' is also removed.

× I do carry pens and paper when I go out, especially I'm a college student and preparing to use an iPad for noting I tend to use a notebook to note all my class notes and what and my thoughts.

✓ I carry pens and paper when I go out, especially because I'm a college student. Although I'm preparing to use an iPad for taking notes, I tend to use a notebook to write down my class notes and thoughts.

The original joins several ideas without the necessary connector or sentence boundary. Use 'because' to introduce the reason and a separate sentence with 'although' to show the contrast.

× I do carry pens and paper when I go out, especially I'm a college student and preparing to use an iPad for noting I tend to use a notebook to note all my class notes and what and my thoughts.

✓ I carry pens and paper when I go out, especially because I'm a college student. Although I'm preparing to use an iPad for taking notes, I tend to use a notebook to write down my class notes and thoughts.

When describing the purpose of using an iPad, the natural gerund expression is 'for taking notes,' rather than 'for noting.'
