Mirrors— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one brief supporting detail using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (uh) and small errors (e.g., 'look at mirror' → 'look in the mirror').

Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I check myself in the mirror every morning because I leave for work early, and I want to make sure my clothes and hair are presentable. This only takes a few minutes but helps me feel confident all day.

Gợi ý: Use correct verb forms and be direct. Begin with a clear statement about buying, then provide a short specific detail. Remove repeated hedges and fix tense and word order mistakes.

Ví dụ: No, I haven't bought a mirror myself. My father bought a large, decorative mirror for my room, and I use it every morning to check my outfit and fix my hair.

Gợi ý: Be precise and correct word choice (e.g., 'take a mirror' not 'take a meal'). Keep sentences short and avoid repetition. Use a linking word to explain reason.

Ví dụ: Yes, I usually carry a small mirror in my bag because I travel frequently for work, so I can quickly check my appearance and fix my hair or makeup between meetings.

Gợi ý: Be more specific about how mirrors affect a room and avoid vague phrases. Use one or two clear reasons with a linking word and a brief example. Correct collocations (e.g., 'good ingredient' → 'a good choice').

Ví dụ: Yes, definitely. Mirrors can make a room feel brighter and more spacious because they reflect light and create depth; for example, placing a large mirror opposite a window can double the amount of natural light in the room.

× Yeah, it is, uh, definitely an essential part of my daily routine because I have to go outside, uh, for work every day.

✓ Yeah, it is definitely an essential part of my daily routine because I have to go outside for work every day.

Minor disfluencies 'uh' and extra commas interrupt sentence flow. Remove filler words and unnecessary commas to make the sentence clear and grammatically correct.

× That's why I have to look myself at mirror to make myself look presentable.

✓ That's why I have to look at myself in the mirror to make myself look presentable.

Incorrect word order and missing preposition: English uses 'look at myself' not 'look myself at', and we say 'in the mirror'. Rearranging and adding 'in' fixes the reflexive pronoun placement and preposition.

× I look at Mirror every day.

✓ I look at the mirror every day.

Capitalization and article error: 'Mirror' should be lowercase and the definite article 'the' is required before 'mirror' when referring to a specific mirror.

× Uh, I myself didn't bought any mirror by now, but my father uh, had bought uh, very beautiful mirror for me which is uh, placed in my uh, room.

✓ I haven't bought any mirror so far, but my father bought a very beautiful mirror for me, which is placed in my room.

Wrong tense and auxiliary: use present perfect 'haven't bought' with 'so far' instead of 'didn't bought'. 'Had bought' is unnecessary; simple past 'bought' is correct for a completed past action. Also definite/indefinite article: 'a very beautiful mirror'. Remove extra fillers and correct comma placement.

× And I look at it uh, for fixing my clothes and hair.

✓ And I look at it to fix my clothes and hair.

Use infinitive 'to fix' rather than 'for fixing' for intended action. Remove filler 'uh' and streamline the structure.

× Yes, I like to take a meal with me because I travel a lot during my work and to make myself look presentable and to make and to maintain my outlook.

✓ Yes, I like to take a mirror with me because I travel a lot for work and need to keep myself looking presentable.

Wrong word 'meal' should be 'mirror' (word choice error). Pronoun and phrasing are awkward: 'during my work' -> 'for work'; 'to make and to maintain my outlook' is unclear, simplify to 'need to keep myself looking presentable.'

× I have to see the mirror often.

✓ I have to look in the mirror often.

Collocation: we 'look in/at the mirror' rather than 'see the mirror' when checking appearance. 'Look in the mirror' is more natural.

× Most of the people decorate their room using, uh, show pieces.

✓ Most people decorate their rooms using showpieces.

'Most people' is preferred to 'Most of the people' when speaking generally. 'Room' should be plural 'rooms' to match 'people'. 'Show pieces' can be combined as 'showpieces' or 'display items'. Remove filler 'uh'.

× I think mirror is also, uh, very good ingredient for decorating.

✓ I think a mirror is also a very good addition for decorating.

Article and word choice: 'a mirror' needed; 'ingredient' is awkward for decoration—use 'addition' or 'element'. Remove filler 'uh' and include the article before 'very good'.
