Dreams— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and complete your final sentence. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid vague phrases and incomplete sentences.

Ví dụ: I don't remember dreams very often, but occasionally I do. For example, once I dreamed I was playing football even though I had never played before, which felt strange and memorable. Because it was so unusual, it stayed with me for several days.

Gợi ý: Make the answer more concise and use linking words to structure it (e.g., 'because', 'so'). Give one clear reason why you share dreams and one brief example to support it.

Ví dụ: Yes, I often share interesting dreams with my friends because they enjoy hearing unusual stories. For instance, when I dreamed about being lost in a city, my friends asked questions and we discussed what the dream might mean.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear stance, then give one specific, coherent example and explain why it supports your view. Avoid vague phrases like 'I also experienced it that others also have this.'

Ví dụ: I think some dreams can have special meanings, especially emotional ones. For example, after my grandmother died I dreamt about her comforting me, which felt meaningful and helped me process my grief.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct statement, then contrast briefly if needed, and give one clear, specific example of a goal. Use more formal connectors (e.g., 'however', 'for example') and avoid casual contractions like 'wanna'.

Ví dụ: Yes, I want some dreams to come true, especially my life goals. For example, I hope to get into my favorite university because it will help me pursue my chosen career.

× Not quite often, however, sometimes I do remember my dreams.

✓ Not very often; however, sometimes I do remember my dreams.

Use 'not very often' rather than 'not quite often' to express infrequent occurrence. 'Quite' with 'often' is uncommon in this context. Use a semicolon or comma with 'however' to join clauses correctly.

× I remember once I had a really weird dream about playing football which I had never played, so that was interesting.

✓ I remember once I had a really weird dream about playing football, which I had never played, so that was interesting.

The sentence needs a comma before the nonrestrictive relative clause 'which I had never played.' Also, 'playing football which I had never played' is awkward; replacing with 'playing football, which I had never played' clarifies meaning. Tenses (past simple) are correct.

× At these times I find it quite.

✓ At those times I find it quite strange.

The original sentence is incomplete ('quite' needs an adjective). 'At those times' is a more natural phrase. Add an appropriate adjective like 'strange' to complete the thought.

× Yes, if I have an interesting dream, I always share it with my friends.

✓ Yes, if I have an interesting dream, I always share it with my friends.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. It uses the present simple appropriately to describe habitual action.

× They always listen so carefully because they actually know that I sometimes have quite unusual dreams and I am interested in other dreams since it can tell me about the person and I find it quite appealing.

✓ They always listen carefully because they know that I sometimes have quite unusual dreams, and I am interested in other people's dreams since they can tell me about the person; I find them quite appealing.

Use 'listen carefully' rather than 'listen so carefully' for formality. 'Actually' is unnecessary. Use 'other people's dreams' (possessive) and 'they can tell me' (plural pronoun agrees with 'dreams'). Replace 'it can tell me about the person' with 'they can tell me about the person.' Finally, 'I find them quite appealing' matches plural 'dreams.'

× It depends on the dream.

✓ It depends on the dream.

This sentence is correct and appropriately uses the present simple to express general truth.

× However, I do think that they have special meaning.

✓ However, I do think that they have special meanings.

Use the plural 'meanings' because different dreams can have different meanings. Present simple 'have' is appropriate.

× One time I had a dream about my grandmother who passed away and I do think that these dreams have quite a beautiful meaning and I also experienced it that others also have this.

✓ Once I had a dream about my grandmother who had passed away, and I do think that such dreams have a beautiful meaning; I have also experienced that others have similar dreams.

Use 'Once' instead of 'One time' for formality. Use past perfect 'had passed away' to show the grandmother's death occurred before the dream. 'These dreams' is vague—use 'such dreams.' 'Experienced it that others also have this' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'I have also experienced that others have similar dreams.' Use semicolon or conjunction to join clauses.

× Sometimes I do, however, sometimes I don't.

✓ Sometimes I do; however, sometimes I don't.

Use a semicolon (or period) before 'however' when joining two independent clauses. The sentence is otherwise fine.

× But overall, my life goals are also my dreams and I do want to accomplish them.

✓ Overall, my life goals are also my dreams, and I do want to accomplish them.

Avoid starting with 'But' in formal speech; 'Overall' alone is sufficient. Add a comma before 'and' joining two independent clauses.

× For example, getting into my favorite university is a big dream for me and I do wanna achieve that.

✓ For example, getting into my favorite university is a big dream for me, and I do want to achieve that.

Replace informal 'wanna' with 'want to' in formal contexts. Add a comma before 'and' to join independent clauses. The gerund 'getting' is correctly used.
