Websites— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make the response more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples using linking words. Avoid redundancy (e.g. “put in the searching term” and “look through the results” can be simplified).

Ví dụ: I usually visit search engines and map sites. For example, I use Google to find information quickly, and Google Maps when I need directions because it gives routes and public-transport options.

Gợi ý: Keep the answer focused and fluent: begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two precise reasons. Reduce filler and correct small errors (e.g. “if I'm lost on” → “if I'm lost”); use linking words like “because” and “also”.

Ví dụ: My favourite website is Google Maps because it helps me find the easiest route and offers different transport options. Also, it shows live departures, so if I miss a bus I can quickly check the next one.

Gợi ý: Provide a clearer, more confident response: state a brief main idea, then give a specific change with an example. Remove hesitations and unfinished phrases, and use linking words like “for example” or “recently”.

Ví dụ: Overall, most websites look similar to regular users, but recently I noticed a change: for example, Google has added AI features that give direct answers and suggestions when you search.

Gợi ý: Structure the answer: start with a general statement, then give 2–3 specific popular sites and a brief reason why they are popular. Reduce hesitation words and be concise.

Ví dụ: Streaming platforms are very popular in my country. For example, many people use Netflix and YouTube for shows and videos, while I use Spotify for music and Google for searching information.

Gợi ý: Give a balanced and well-linked answer: state your general preference, then explain reasons for both sides with linking words like “however” and “therefore.” Be specific about when you choose each source.

Ví dụ: It depends on the situation: I prefer books for in-depth, reliable information because they're more precise; however, I use websites when I need quick, searchable answers or many perspectives.

Gợi ý: Give a concise main idea followed by two clear reasons, avoiding fillers and small grammar errors (e.g. “informations” → “information”). Use linking phrases like “because” and “also”.

Ví dụ: No, I wouldn't like to have my own website because I'm not very technical and I don't have the skills to build or maintain it. Also, I wouldn't be sure what content or information to put on it.

Gợi ý: Finish your thought clearly and be more specific: state one skill, give a concrete example of a problem and how a website helped, and end the sentence. Remove hesitations and be precise about the source.

Ví dụ: I've learned Excel skills online: for example, when I had formatting problems I searched Google and found step-by-step solutions on Microsoft Q&A, which helped me fix formulas and improve spreadsheets.

× If I need a platform to search for something then I'd definitely go to Google first and put in the searching term and then look through the results that I received.

✓ If I need a platform to search for something then I'd definitely go to Google first and put in the search term and then look through the results that I receive.

Use 'search' as a noun in the fixed phrase 'search term' rather than 'searching term'. Also use present simple 'receive' because the action of getting search results is habitual or immediate, so present tense fits better than past 'received'. Suggestion: say 'put in the search term' and 'look through the results I receive.'

× But for direction I would use Google Maps.

✓ But for directions I would use Google Maps.

Use the plural noun 'directions' when referring to navigational instructions. The plural is the correct collocation: 'for directions.' Suggestion: say 'for directions I would use Google Maps.'

× My favorite website is Google Maps because if I'm lost on or I don't know where to go, I just open up Google Maps, put in the location I want to reach and it shows me the easiest way to get there with different options and if I miss a bus I can click the next one.

✓ My favorite website is Google Maps because if I'm lost or don't know where to go, I just open Google Maps, enter the location I want to reach, and it shows the easiest way to get there with different options; if I miss a bus, I can choose the next one.

The original sentence has redundancy and a stray word 'on', lacks parallel structure and needs clearer punctuation. Remove 'on', use 'don't' without 'I' for smoother spoken style, use parallel verbs 'open' and 'enter', and split clauses with a semicolon or comma plus conjunction. Suggestion: simplify and maintain parallel verb forms and proper punctuation.

× In particularly, I'd guess there aren't many changes that are obvious to the people who visit.

✓ In particular, I'd guess there aren't many changes that are obvious to the people who visit.

The correct phrase is 'in particular' not 'in particularly.' 'Particular' is used as an adverbial phrase here. Suggestion: use 'in particular' to introduce a specific point.

× One thing I noticed umm that changed maybe in the last year was that Google also includes umm, its own AI if you put in a search term and that.

✓ One thing I noticed that changed maybe in the last year is that Google now includes its own AI when you enter a search term.

The original mixes past and past participle awkwardly and ends with 'and that' which is incomplete. Use present simple 'is' to state a recent change that continues to be true, remove filler words, and replace 'put in' with 'enter' for formality. Suggestion: write a complete clause: 'Google now includes its own AI when you enter a search term.'

× Umm for example my friends use Netflix and YouTube quite frequently.

✓ For example, my friends use Netflix and YouTube quite frequently.

Remove filler 'Umm' and add a comma after 'For example' for clarity. This fixes pronoun/structure by not starting with a filler; while not a pronoun error strictly, cleaning disfluency improves grammar. Suggestion: avoid fillers and punctuate introductory phrases.

× Umm for myself I usually use Spotify to listen to some music and other than that maybe Google as well for search.

✓ I usually use Spotify to listen to music, and other than that I use Google for searches.

Avoid 'for myself' which is unnecessary and can be ungrammatical in this context; use 'I' as subject. Use plural 'searches' or 'searching' for natural collocation. Suggestion: say 'I usually use Spotify to listen to music, and otherwise I use Google for searches.'

× Umm, because books do deliver more precise results.

✓ Because books deliver more precise information.

Avoid sentence fragment: the clause 'Because books do deliver...' should be part of a full sentence. Also 'results' is less natural than 'information' here. Suggestion: integrate with previous sentence or make it a complete sentence: 'Books deliver more precise information.'

× However, it is more difficult to find exactly the thing or the answer that you're looking for, and on websites you have more options to look.

✓ However, it is more difficult to find exactly the thing or answer you're looking for in books, whereas on websites you have more options to search.

The original misplaced the contrast and used 'to look' awkwardly. Clarify by placing 'in books' and use the verb 'search' for websites. Suggestion: restructure the contrast with 'whereas' and use appropriate verbs.

× No, because I'm not a very technical person and I guess having a website would require some umm, technical skills and therefore I wouldn't want a website.

✓ No, because I'm not a very technical person and I guess having a website would require technical skills, so I wouldn't want one.

Avoid repeating 'a website' twice; use the pronoun 'one' to refer back to 'a website.' Remove filler 'umm' and join clauses with 'so' for clarity. Suggestion: use pronouns to avoid repetition and cleaner connectors.

× Umm, Another reason might be that I don't even know what or informations I should put on my own website.

✓ Another reason might be that I don't even know what information I should put on my website.

Use 'information' as an uncountable noun, not 'informations.' Also 'what or information' is incorrect; use 'what information.' Capitalization: 'Another' should not be capitalized mid-sentence. Suggestion: 'what information I should put on my website.'

× I guess I learned some skills regarding Excel because if I have any Excel problems, for example formatting or umm if it doesn't look the way I want it to look, then I'd Google and look up the results on Microsoft Q&A websites and.

✓ I guess I learned some Excel skills because if I have any problems, for example with formatting or when it doesn't look the way I want, I Google and look up the results on Microsoft Q&A.

The original sentence is long, contains fillers, and ends abruptly with 'and.' Remove fillers, tighten phrasing ('learned some Excel skills'), use 'when' instead of repeated 'if', and finish the clause clearly. Suggestion: keep sentences concise, avoid filler words, and complete the final clause.
