Friends— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the comparison directly and avoid unclear phrases such as “in in UMM” and “then depart.” Use a clear contrast with “In the past..., but nowadays...” and explain that work makes arranging meetings more difficult. Also, avoid repetition and use “make plans” or “arrange to meet” instead of “make an appointment.”

Ví dụ: Yes, there is a difference. In the past, I could meet my friends whenever we wanted, but nowadays it is harder to arrange a meeting because we are all busy with work. As a result, we usually have to plan our meetings several days in advance.

Gợi ý: Give a direct reason and use a clear example. The phrase “if in the public” should be “if it is a public place,” and “that talk aloud” should be “talking loudly.” Explain that suitable places are comfortable and allow conversation, while noisy or crowded places may disturb others.

Ví dụ: Some places are suitable because they are quiet, comfortable, and allow people to talk easily. For example, cafés and parks are good places to meet friends. However, very crowded places or quiet public areas are less suitable because loud conversations may disturb other people.

Gợi ý: State your preference clearly and support it with one logical reason. Replace “spend time on the group” with “spend time with a group,” and “make an appointment” with “arrange a meeting.” The unclear phrase “if I have a tablet” should probably be “if I have the chance.”

Ví dụ: I prefer spending time with a group of friends. I am quite busy with work, so it is difficult to arrange separate meetings with each person. Meeting everyone at the same time is more convenient, and it also creates a livelier atmosphere.

Gợi ý: This answer has a clear opinion and a specific personal example, which is effective. Improve the grammar by saying “My mom likes meeting my friends,” “bring them home,” and “my friends absolutely love it.” Avoid repeating “my friend” and finish with a natural concluding sentence.

Ví dụ: Yes, definitely. My mother enjoys meeting my friends, and whenever I invite them home, she cooks delicious Thai noodles for us. My friends absolutely love the food, so our home is a warm and comfortable place to get together.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer and explain emotional and practical support. Replace “important for me” with “important to me,” “share up me” with “cheer me up” or “listen to me,” and “a help” with “help.” Use the plural consistently when discussing friends in general.

Ví dụ: Friends are extremely important to me because they provide both emotional and practical support. When I feel worried, they listen to me and cheer me up. They are also always willing to help me when I have a problem, so I know I can rely on them.

Gợi ý: Give the frequency first, then explain the reason and mention the alternative activity clearly. Use “friends” for a general habit, “find time” rather than “find the free time,” and “chat online” instead of the unclear “shedding in on the online.” Avoid fillers and connect the ideas smoothly.

Ví dụ: I usually go out with my friends about once a week. I am quite busy, but I try to find time to see them. When we cannot meet in person, we sometimes chat online or have a video call instead.

Gợi ý: Mention the main locations clearly and organize the alternatives with linking words. Correct “Is depend” to “It depends,” “Sometime” to “Sometimes,” and “have fight a good food” to “have some good food.” Use natural phrases such as “at a restaurant in the mall” and “spend time together.”

Ví dụ: It depends on the day. Sometimes we meet outdoors, such as in the mountains, especially when we want to do something active. On other occasions, we eat at a restaurant in the mall, where we might have steak or shabu-shabu. We also sometimes visit a temple together.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence and give two specific activities. Replace “talkety person” with “a talkative person,” and avoid unclear phrases such as “I Sasha” and “find the outdoor activity.” You could mention chatting about work and doing outdoor activities such as hiking or playing sports.

Ví dụ: I am quite talkative, so I usually chat with my friends about everyday life and what is happening at work. We sometimes share funny stories or discuss workplace gossip. If we meet outdoors, we might go hiking, play sports, or simply explore a new place.

Gợi ý: This answer includes useful specific details, such as the length of the friendship and where you met. Improve the grammar by saying “I have known her for about 20 years,” “We have been friends since primary school,” and “spend time with her.” Avoid repetition and make the final sentence describe how you keep in touch or what you do together.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have known one of my closest friends for about 20 years. Her name is Scott, and we became friends in primary school. We still keep in touch, even though we are busy, and we enjoy spending time together whenever we have the opportunity.

× For me the difference is about the timing in in UMM now is harder to to make an appointment to meet a friend then depart because we're busy for work.

✓ For me, the difference is that it is now harder to make an appointment to meet a friend than it was in the past because we are busy with work.

Use busy with work, not busy for work. The preposition in was also repeated unnecessarily. Use than, not then, when comparing two situations.

× For me the difference is about the timing in in UMM now is harder to to make an appointment to meet a friend then depart because we're busy for work.

✓ For me, the difference is that it is now harder to make an appointment to meet a friend than it was in the past because we are busy with work.

The original sentence contains an incomplete and confusing structure. Use it is now harder to... than it was in the past to make the comparison grammatically complete.

× Well, I think it depends on the place that you meet your friends. If in the public and if you make a noise that talk aloud with the friends is not inappropriate to meet in that place.

✓ Well, I think it depends on the place where you meet your friends. If you are in a public place and talk loudly with your friends, it is not appropriate to meet there.

The second sentence has no main verb and contains an incomplete if-clause. Use a complete structure with a subject and verb: If you are... it is...

× Well, I think it depends on the place that you meet your friends. If in the public and if you make a noise that talk aloud with the friends is not inappropriate to meet in that place.

✓ Well, I think it depends on the place where you meet your friends. If you are in a public place and talk loudly with your friends, it is not appropriate to meet there.

Loudly is the adverb that modifies talk. Inappropriate means unsuitable, so not inappropriate would mean suitable. The intended meaning is not appropriate.

× Now I prefer to spend time on the group of my friends because I'm busy for work is harder to make an appointment to meet each friends of mine.

✓ Now I prefer to spend time with a group of my friends because I am busy with work, and it is harder to make an appointment to meet each of my friends.

Use spend time with people, not spend time on people. Also, the correct expression is busy with work. Use each of my friends, not each friends of mine.

× Now I prefer to spend time on the group of my friends because I'm busy for work is harder to make an appointment to meet each friends of mine.

✓ Now I prefer to spend time with a group of my friends because I am busy with work, and it is harder to make an appointment to meet each of my friends.

Each is followed by a singular noun, so use each friend. The phrase each of my friends is also grammatically correct.

× If I have a tablet I can appointment all of them Is me is maybe better than miss only one person.

✓ If I have a tablet, I can make an appointment with all of them, which is probably better than missing just one person.

Appointment is a noun, so it cannot be used directly as a verb here. The sentence also needs a clear subject and linking structure: which is probably better than...

× Absolutely yes, my mom like to meet my friend as as well as my as me and when I bring them to home my mom will cook like a Thai noodle for them and my friend absolutely love it.

✓ Absolutely. My mom likes meeting my friends as much as I do. When I bring them home, my mom cooks Thai noodles for them, and my friends absolutely love them.

The answer describes a regular situation, so use the present tense: likes, cooks, and love. Bring them home does not need the preposition to. Use noodles when referring to the food in general.

× Absolutely yes, my mom like to meet my friend as as well as my as me and when I bring them to home my mom will cook like a Thai noodle for them and my friend absolutely love it.

✓ Absolutely. My mom likes meeting my friends as much as I do. When I bring them home, my mom cooks Thai noodles for them, and my friends absolutely love them.

My mom is a third-person singular subject, so the present-tense verb must be likes. My friends is plural, so the verb is love, not loves.

× Absolutely yes, my mom like to meet my friend as as well as my as me and when I bring them to home my mom will cook like a Thai noodle for them and my friend absolutely love it.

✓ Absolutely. My mom likes meeting my friends as much as I do. When I bring them home, my mom cooks Thai noodles for them, and my friends absolutely love them.

The natural expression is bring someone home, without to. Use as much as I do to compare your mother's preference with yours.

× Absolutely yes, my mom like to meet my friend as as well as my as me and when I bring them to home my mom will cook like a Thai noodle for them and my friend absolutely love it.

✓ Absolutely. My mom likes meeting my friends as much as I do. When I bring them home, my mom cooks Thai noodles for them, and my friends absolutely love them.

Thai noodles refers to food in general, so do not use a before the plural noun noodles. Use friends in the plural because them refers to more than one friend.

× They're really important for me because when I have something in my mind, friends can share up me and they can be like my assistant. If I need a help, my friend always be there and help me a lot.

✓ They are really important to me because when I have something on my mind, my friends can support me and they can be like my assistants. If I need help, my friends are always there and help me a lot.

The subject my friends is plural, so use are, not is or be. The noun assistant should also be plural when referring to several friends.

× They're really important for me because when I have something in my mind, friends can share up me and they can be like my assistant. If I need a help, my friend always be there and help me a lot.

✓ They are really important to me because when I have something on my mind, my friends can support me and they can be like my assistants. If I need help, my friends are always there and help me a lot.

Help is an uncountable noun in this meaning, so do not use a before it. Say I need help, not I need a help.

× I go out with my friend around once a week and because I'm quite busy but I will find the free time to meet my friend and sometime we have like uh, uh, shedding in on the online instead.

✓ I go out with my friends about once a week. Although I am quite busy, I find free time to meet them, and sometimes we chat online instead.

This describes a regular routine, so use the present tense find rather than the future form will find. Use sometimes, not sometime, for an activity that happens occasionally.

× I go out with my friend around once a week and because I'm quite busy but I will find the free time to meet my friend and sometime we have like uh, uh, shedding in on the online instead.

✓ I go out with my friends about once a week. Although I am quite busy, I find free time to meet them, and sometimes we chat online instead.

Friends should be plural because the answer refers to friends in general. Use them to avoid repeating the plural noun.

× Is depend on the day. Sometime we go to the natural place like a mountain, but sometimes we just have fight a good food at the let's talk in the mall, we have a steak or shabu together and maybe we go to the temple to use the time together.

✓ It depends on the day. Sometimes we go to natural places, such as mountains, but sometimes we just find good food at a restaurant in the mall. We might have steak or shabu together, and we might go to a temple to spend time together.

The sentence must begin with the subject it: It depends on the day. Do not use Is as the subject in this expression.

× Is depend on the day. Sometime we go to the natural place like a mountain, but sometimes we just have fight a good food at the let's talk in the mall, we have a steak or shabu together and maybe we go to the temple to use the time together.

✓ It depends on the day. Sometimes we go to natural places, such as mountains, but sometimes we just find good food at a restaurant in the mall. We might have steak or shabu together, and we might go to a temple to spend time together.

Use at a restaurant when referring to the location where you eat. The original phrase at the let's talk in the mall does not use prepositions correctly.

× Is depend on the day. Sometime we go to the natural place like a mountain, but sometimes we just have fight a good food at the let's talk in the mall, we have a steak or shabu together and maybe we go to the temple to use the time together.

✓ It depends on the day. Sometimes we go to natural places, such as mountains, but sometimes we just find good food at a restaurant in the mall. We might have steak or shabu together, and we might go to a temple to spend time together.

Use natural places and mountains when speaking generally. Use a restaurant because this refers to one non-specific restaurant. Use a temple when the temple has not been identified previously.

× I Sasha, I am Sasha talkety person. So we just like that talk about everything, like about the gossip in at workplace or about daily life. Yes, but sometime if we go to the outdoor, we find the outdoor activity like, uh, playing.

✓ I am a chatty person, so we usually talk about everything, such as gossip at work and our daily lives. Sometimes, if we go outdoors, we do outdoor activities, such as playing sports.

The original answer contains fragments and an unclear phrase. Combine the ideas into complete sentences with a subject and a verb in each clause.

× I Sasha, I am Sasha talkety person. So we just like that talk about everything, like about the gossip in at workplace or about daily life. Yes, but sometime if we go to the outdoor, we find the outdoor activity like, uh, playing.

✓ I am a chatty person, so we usually talk about everything, such as gossip at work and our daily lives. Sometimes, if we go outdoors, we do outdoor activities, such as playing sports.

Use a before the singular countable noun person: a chatty person. Say at work, not at the workplace, when speaking generally. Outdoors is normally used without the article the.

× Yes, I have a friend that I know. I know her about 20 years ago and her name is Scott. We, we is the, we are. We are the friends from the primary school and we still keep in touch together. Now I love to play the time with her.

✓ Yes, I have a friend whom I have known for about 20 years. Her name is Scott. We became friends in primary school, and we still keep in touch. Now I love spending time with her.

For an action that began in the past and continues until now, use the present perfect: have known. The phrase I know her about 20 years ago incorrectly uses the simple present with a past-time expression.

× Yes, I have a friend that I know. I know her about 20 years ago and her name is Scott. We, we is the, we are. We are the friends from the primary school and we still keep in touch together. Now I love to play the time with her.

✓ Yes, I have a friend whom I have known for about 20 years. Her name is Scott. We became friends in primary school, and we still keep in touch. Now I love spending time with her.

Use the past tense became to describe the event when you first became friends. The time expression in primary school refers to a completed period in the past.

× Yes, I have a friend that I know. I know her about 20 years ago and her name is Scott. We, we is the, we are. We are the friends from the primary school and we still keep in touch together. Now I love to play the time with her.

✓ Yes, I have a friend whom I have known for about 20 years. Her name is Scott. We became friends in primary school, and we still keep in touch. Now I love spending time with her.

The plural subject we takes the plural verb are, but the clearest correction here is We became friends. Do not use we is.

× Yes, I have a friend that I know. I know her about 20 years ago and her name is Scott. We, we is the, we are. We are the friends from the primary school and we still keep in touch together. Now I love to play the time with her.

✓ Yes, I have a friend whom I have known for about 20 years. Her name is Scott. We became friends in primary school, and we still keep in touch. Now I love spending time with her.

After love, both to spend and spending can sometimes be used, but love spending time is the more natural expression here. Use spending, not the incorrect phrase play the time.
