Do you often feel tired?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid informal fillers and grammatical errors (e.g. "'cause make me" -> "which makes me"). Keep it to no more than 4–5 sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I do often feel tired. My schedule is very packed at the moment, so I rarely have time to rest, which leaves me constantly fatigued. In the evenings I sometimes just scroll on my phone and lie in bed, which actually makes me feel more exhausted rather than refreshed.
When would you feel tired?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Organize the response with a clear topic sentence and link the supporting details with conjunctions. Correct grammar ("uncertainty" not "uncertainly"; "drains" not "drain"). Be specific about situations and use linking words like "because" and "also" to connect ideas.
Ví dụ: I usually feel tired when I have a heavy workload because uncertainty about where to begin makes me feel overwhelmed. I also get very tired after long periods of intense concentration, since focusing for several hours drains my energy and reduces my productivity.
What do you do when you feel tired?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Provide a clear, grammatical topic sentence about your usual actions, then give specific, coherent details. Avoid unclear phrases and fillers. Mention at least one effective strategy for recharging (e.g. short nap, walk, exercise, or reading) and explain briefly why it helps. Keep it within 4–5 sentences.
Ví dụ: When I feel tired, I usually try to rest by lying down for a short nap or reading a book to relax. If I need to feel more alert, I go for a short walk or do light stretching because physical activity helps boost my energy. I avoid scrolling on my phone for long periods since that tends to make me feel more exhausted.
× It has started because my schedule is quite packed so I feel I have no time to relax.
✓ It started because my schedule is quite packed, so I feel I have no time to relax.
Error type: mixture of present perfect ('has started') with a general present reason. Use simple past 'started' if referring to a specific change in the past, or rephrase to present perfect with clear time reference. Also add a comma before 'so' connecting two independent clauses. Suggestion: choose consistent tense (simple past for a past beginning, present perfect with a time frame if ongoing).
× Sometimes I just scroll on my phone and lie in bed all day 'cause make me feel even more exhausted.
✓ Sometimes I just scroll on my phone and lie in bed all day because it makes me feel even more exhausted.
Missing subject and wrong verb form after 'because'. After 'because' you need a subject ('it') and a conjugated verb ('makes'). Also avoid informal ''cause' in formal speech; use 'because'. Suggestion: include explicit subject and correct third-person singular verb form.
× I usually feel tired when I have a lot to do and I'm not sure how to start because that's uncertainly made me feel overwhelmed.
✓ I usually feel tired when I have a lot to do and I'm not sure how to start because that uncertainty makes me feel overwhelmed.
Incorrect use of 'uncertainly' (an adverb) where the noun 'uncertainty' is required, and wrong tense/structure 'made me' conflicts with present general statement. Use present simple 'makes' to describe a habitual cause. Suggestion: replace adverb with noun and match present tense for general habits.
× I also get tired after long periods of time of intense concentration since focusing for hours really drain my energy.
✓ I also get tired after long periods of intense concentration since focusing for hours really drains my energy.
Redundant 'of' in 'periods of time of' — use 'periods of' or 'periods of time'. Subject-verb agreement error: 'focusing... drains' requires third-person singular 'drains'. Suggestion: remove extra preposition and ensure verb agrees with singular gerund subject.
× What a few exotics and umm overloaded with my good other thing I have to suffer all day.
✓ I'm a bit overwhelmed and overloaded with other things I have to deal with all day.
Original sentence contains incorrect words ('exotics', 'good other thing') and unclear structure. Replace with accurate vocabulary: 'overwhelmed' and 'overloaded', and use 'other things I have to deal with'. Suggestion: keep simple, clear nouns and verbs to express being busy and stressed.
× I just want to lay in bed, maybe read a book or maybe just scroll on my phone all night.
✓ I just want to lie in bed, maybe read a book, or maybe just scroll on my phone all night.
Use the correct verb 'lie' (to recline) rather than 'lay' (which requires a direct object). Also add commas for clarity. Suggestion: memorize 'lie' vs 'lay' distinction: lie (no object), lay (takes an object).
× It's made me more unwind and recharge my energy.
✓ It helps me unwind and recharge my energy.
'It's made me' is awkward and mixes past form with present intention; 'help(s) me' fits the habitual present. Also 'unwind' is a verb, so use 'helps me unwind' rather than 'more unwind'. Suggestion: use present simple 'helps' for regular effects and proper verb placement.
