Art— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and finish the sentence clearly. Use natural expressions such as “I’m interested in drawing” and “I’m good at drawing nature and portraits” instead of “I have a talent to draw” and “natural human pictures.” Avoid ending with “and,” and add one specific example of what you draw.

Ví dụ: Yes, I really enjoy drawing, especially nature and portraits. I think I’m quite good at capturing people’s facial expressions. I usually draw in my free time because it helps me relax.

Gợi ý: Your answer has a clear opinion and a contrast using “but,” which is effective. However, correct “those kind of places” to “those kinds of places” and avoid the unclear phrase “most of the most.” Explain that you dislike galleries because they are often crowded, then give your preferred alternatives more smoothly.

Ví dụ: Not really. I’m not very keen on galleries because they can be crowded and a little overwhelming. Instead, I prefer quiet places such as parks and libraries, where I can take my time and enjoy the atmosphere.

Gợi ý: State your current opinion first, then support it with a complete reason. Avoid repeating “I think” and use “I studied art for six or seven years” rather than “I learned enough art from.” The answer should end with a complete idea; mention specific areas you studied, such as painting or art history.

Ví dụ: Not particularly. I studied art for about six or seven years in secondary school, so I feel I learned the basics already. We covered painting, drawing, and some art history, which is enough for my personal interests at the moment.

Gợi ý: The answer gives a clear time reference and a personal example, but use the past simple with “when I was four” and the present perfect or present continuous correctly: “I’ve continued drawing ever since” or “I still draw.” Say “many drawings of nature,” not “plenty of arts about natural.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I started learning to draw when I was about four years old, and I’ve continued ever since. I still draw in my spare time, mostly landscapes and flowers. I even post some of my drawings on social media.

Gợi ý: Give a clear overall answer and organize your preferences with “especially” and “however.” Correct “some part of the art” to “some forms of art,” “those kind” to “those kinds,” and “my talent rely” to “my talents lie.” Explain briefly why painting and music appeal to you more than dancing or acting.

Ví dụ: Yes, I like several forms of art, especially painting and music. However, I’m not very interested in dancing or acting because I’m more comfortable expressing myself through visual art and sound. I also feel that I have stronger abilities in those areas.

Gợi ý: Your contrast between childhood and the present is relevant, but the answer is incomplete and contains repeated fillers. Use “I wanted to be” for the past and explain your current career preference or reason. Avoid ending with “but” and include one specific alternative ambition.

Ví dụ: When I was a child, I wanted to become a famous artist. However, I’m not interested in pursuing that career now because I’d prefer a more stable profession. I still enjoy art as a hobby, though.

Gợi ý: Your preference and examples are clear, but avoid repetition and correct the factual names: “the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci” and “paintings by Michelangelo.” Use “more valuable to me” rather than “the more valuable,” and explain whether you value their history, technique, or cultural importance.

Ví dụ: I generally prefer traditional art because it feels more meaningful and historically important to me. For example, I admire the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and the paintings of Michelangelo. I’m especially interested in the skill and cultural history behind these works.

× Of course, I like drawing and the painting as well because I have a talent to draw, uh, the natural arts and the natural human, uh, pictures as well.

✓ Of course, I like drawing and painting as well because I have a talent for drawing natural subjects and human figures.

Painting is used as an uncountable activity in this general statement, so it does not need the definite article the. Also, the natural phrasing is a talent for drawing, not a talent to draw.

× Of course, I like drawing and the painting as well because I have a talent to draw, uh, the natural arts and the natural human, uh, pictures as well.

✓ Of course, I like drawing and painting as well because I have a talent for drawing natural subjects and human figures.

The noun talent is normally followed by the preposition for before a gerund: a talent for drawing. Using common preposition patterns will make your speech more natural.

× Not really, because I don't like those kind of places, museums, galleries, most of the most, uh, crowded places.

✓ Not really, because I don't like those kinds of places, such as museums and galleries, which are usually crowded.

Those is plural, so the noun after it must also be plural: those kinds. Remember to make demonstratives and the nouns they modify agree in number.

× Not really, because I don't like those kind of places, museums, galleries, most of the most, uh, crowded places.

✓ Not really, because I don't like those kinds of places, such as museums and galleries, which are usually crowded.

The original sentence contains an incomplete and repeated phrase: most of the most crowded places. Use a clear structure with such as to give examples and which are usually crowded to add information.

× I think I learned enough art from I think I learn about six or seven years in my secondary school.

✓ I think I learned enough about art during the six or seven years I spent in secondary school.

The question asks about what you learned in the past, so use past-tense verbs: learned and spent. Do not switch from learned to learn when describing the same past period.

× I think I learned enough art from I think I learn about six or seven years in my secondary school.

✓ I think I learned enough about art during the six or seven years I spent in secondary school.

The correct preposition is about after learned when referring to a subject. During is used to describe the period in which something happened, and we normally say in secondary school without my in this context.

× I think I learned enough art from I think I learn about six or seven years in my secondary school.

✓ I think I learned enough about art during the six or seven years I spent in secondary school.

The phrase I learned enough art from I think I learn is not grammatically organized. Remove the repeated I think and combine the ideas into one clear sentence.

× I didn't, I think that's, uh, enough for me because I learn so many things about the arts, painting and.

✓ I think that is enough for me because I learned so many things about art and painting.

Because you are referring to completed learning in secondary school, use the past tense learned rather than the present tense learn. Avoid starting with I didn't unless you complete the negative statement.

× Of course, I learned drawing since I was, uh, four years old.

✓ Of course, I have been learning to draw since I was four years old.

Since introduces an action that began in the past and continues to the present, so use the present perfect continuous have been learning. The expression learning to draw is more grammatically complete than learned drawing.

× Uh, since now I still drawing.

✓ I am still drawing now.

The present continuous requires the verb be before the present participle: I am still drawing. Since now is not natural here; use now or still to express the current situation.

× If you go to my, uh, social media accounts, you can see plenty of arts, uh, about natural.

✓ If you go to my social media accounts, you can see plenty of artwork about nature.

The phrase about natural is incomplete and does not contain the appropriate noun. Use artwork about nature to form a complete and grammatically meaningful noun phrase.

× So I like some part of the art like painting and the music as well, but I don't like dancing, the other acting, those kind of parts because my talent rely on the music side and the painting side.

✓ I like some forms of art, such as painting and music, but I don't like dancing or acting because my talent relies on music and painting.

When referring to several categories, use the plural form forms. Also, those kinds of parts would be plural, but the sentence is clearer without that unnecessary phrase.

× So I like some part of the art like painting and the music as well, but I don't like dancing, the other acting, those kind of parts because my talent rely on the music side and the painting side.

✓ I like some forms of art, such as painting and music, but I don't like dancing or acting because my talent relies on music and painting.

The subject talent is singular, so the present-tense verb must be relies, not rely. In the third-person singular form, most present-tense verbs take -s or -es.

× Uh, when I was a kid, I want to be, uh, a great artist, but, uh, nowadays I'm not into that ambition, but, uh.

✓ When I was a kid, I wanted to be a great artist, but nowadays I am no longer interested in that ambition.

The time expression when I was a kid refers to the past, so use wanted instead of want. Keep the past-tense verb in the clause describing your childhood ambition.

× I like traditional arts mostly because they are they are the more valuable.

✓ I mostly like traditional art because I think it is very valuable.

More valuable is a comparative form and normally requires a comparison, such as more valuable than modern art. Here, the intended meaning is general, so very valuable is appropriate. The repeated they are should also be removed.

× Things like Mona Lisa by Eleanor da Vinci and Michael Angelo's painting.

✓ Things like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo's paintings are examples of traditional art that I like.

The sentence refers to multiple works, so painting should be plural: paintings. The sentence also needs a main verb to connect the examples to the statement.

× Things like Mona Lisa by Eleanor da Vinci and Michael Angelo's painting.

✓ Things like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo's paintings are examples of traditional art that I like.

The name of the famous painting normally takes the definite article: the Mona Lisa. Use the definite article when referring to a unique, well-known work.
