Do you often feel tired?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence stating frequency, then give one or two brief specific strategies. Use natural collocations (e.g., "distract myself", "take a walk"). Limit to 2–3 sentences and avoid redundancy.
Ví dụ: Yes, I often feel tired — probably around half the time. When I do, I usually distract myself by looking out the window or taking a short walk to clear my mind.
When would you feel tired?
Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: Answer directly with a topic sentence naming the situations, then add one specific supporting detail. Use linking words like "for example" or "so" to connect ideas and avoid repeating the same coping strategies word-for-word.
Ví dụ: I usually feel tired after long meetings or social discussions with many people. For example, after a two-hour meeting I often step outside for a short walk to recharge.
What do you do when you feel tired?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Begin with a clear topic sentence describing your main action, then give a specific detail about timing or effect. Use correct collocations and grammar ("distract myself", "re-energize") and keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Ví dụ: I usually take a short walk around the office during the weekdays to combat tiredness. Seeing greenery outside or getting fresh air helps distract me and re-energize quickly.
When you feel tired, do you still go out with your friends?
Điểm: 66.0Gợi ý: Give a direct answer first, then briefly explain why with one specific reason. Use more natural vocabulary (e.g., "I prefer to be alone", "reflect on things") and correct punctuation and spacing. Keep it to 2–3 sentences to be concise.
Ví dụ: No, I usually prefer to be alone when I'm tired. I take a solitary walk and reflect on recent events, which helps me relax and recharge.
× Yes, half of the time I feel tired in some way.
✓ Yes, half of the time I feel tired in some way.
No change needed. The sentence correctly uses singular/plural forms ('half of the time' is a correct expression).
× When I get distressed, I try to diverge my attention into another thing, like looking out the window or taking a walk to refresh my mind.
✓ When I get distressed, I try to divert my attention to something else, like looking out the window or taking a walk to refresh my mind.
The verb 'diverge' is incorrectly used; the correct verb is 'divert' meaning to shift attention. Also 'into another thing' is awkward; 'to something else' is natural. This is primarily a word choice/error in verb form and preposition use; corrected to use present participle forms 'looking' and 'taking' which were fine originally. Suggestion: Use 'divert' with preposition 'to' and prefer 'something else' for clarity.
× I'd feel tired when I had a long meeting or talk with a lot of people.
✓ I feel tired when I have a long meeting or talk with a lot of people.
The original mixes conditional/modal contraction 'I'd' (I would or I had) with past tense 'had', creating tense inconsistency. The question asks about general habit, so present simple 'I feel' and 'I have' are appropriate. Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual actions.
× When I feel tired that way, I try to look out the window or take a walk to distract myself.
✓ When I feel tired that way, I try to look out the window or take a walk to distract myself.
No change needed. Sentence correctly uses present simple for habitual action and 'to distract myself' is correct.
× I usually try to take a walk around the office in the weekdays or look out the window to see some greeneries that will distract myself from the tiredness and re energize.
✓ I usually try to take a walk around the office on weekdays or look out the window to see some greenery that will distract me from tiredness and re-energize me.
Problems: 'in the weekdays' should be 'on weekdays' (preposition error). 'Greeneries' is uncountable; use 'greenery' or 'green plants'. 'Distract myself from the tiredness' is awkward; use 'distract me from tiredness'. 'Re energize' should be 're-energize me' or 'reenergize me'. Corrections address quantifier/noun number, preposition, pronoun usage, and hyphenation. Suggestion: Use uncountable noun 'greenery', 'on weekdays', and include the object for 're-energize'.
× No I don't.
✓ No, I don't.
Minor punctuation: add comma after 'No' for natural written style. Grammar correct regarding modal verb 'do' negative. Suggestion: Include comma for clarity.
× I usually take a walk on my own and reminisce about the things that happen to me or things that I have to think about.
✓ I usually take a walk on my own and reminisce about things that happened to me or things I have to think about.
Tense consistency: since walking and reminiscing are typically about past events, use 'happened' rather than 'happen'. Also 'things that I have to think about' is acceptable but 'things I have to think about' is more natural. Suggestion: Keep past tense for events being reminisced.
× That lets me re energize and recharge
✓ That lets me re-energize and recharge.
Main issue is hyphenation and punctuation: 're energize' should be 're-energize' or 'reenergize', and sentence needs a period. Tense and structure are correct: 'lets me' (present) fits habitual effect. Suggestion: Use consistent spelling 're-energize' and end with punctuation.
