纸— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer directly with a natural expression such as “I haven’t really made any paper crafts.” Avoid awkward phrases like “by my hand,” “make any things,” and “with papers”; use “by hand,” “make anything,” and “with paper” instead. You could also add one specific reason or example, such as preferring to write letters or being unable to fold paper neatly. Avoid repeating the same idea in three sentences.

範例: I haven’t really made any paper crafts because I’m not very good at making things by hand. I usually just write letters or cards, which is probably the only creative thing I do with paper.

建議: Use the past tense consistently: “I liked” and “I used to ask.” The phrase “because since” is redundant, and “even when I was seven” should be connected more naturally to your lack of ability. Give a direct answer first, then explain that your parents made the planes because you could not fold them yourself.

範例: When I was a child, I liked making paper planes. However, I wasn’t very good at folding them, so I used to ask my parents to make them for me, especially when I was about seven.

建議: Answer the question accurately: it asks whether you still write letters, but you began by saying “I still read physical letters.” Avoid repeating “genuine” and using “send somebody notes with my own hands,” which sounds unnatural. Say that handwritten letters feel more personal than text messages, and include a specific situation if possible.

範例: Yes, I still write handwritten letters occasionally. I like sending them to close friends on special occasions because they feel more personal and thoughtful than ordinary text messages. I also enjoy keeping the letters I receive.

建議: Give a clearer general answer before focusing on yourself. Use “letters” rather than “it” when referring to several letters, and say “in my desk drawer” or “on my desk,” not “in my desk.” Reduce repetition of “just” and avoid “for that answer, I have no idea”; instead, say “I’m not sure about other people, but I do.” Add a specific reason for keeping them, such as their sentimental value.

範例: I’m not sure whether most people still keep handwritten letters, but I certainly do. I keep the letters I’ve received from my friends because they have great sentimental value. I fold them carefully and store them in my desk drawer so I can look at them from time to time.

建議: The answer is relevant and provides a clear reason, but it contains several unnatural phrases. Replace “get inspiration in some certain things” with “get an idea,” “my head is not that good” with “I’m not very good at remembering things,” and “write in the paper” with “write it on paper.” Avoid repeating “memorize” and “so”; combine the ideas with a linking word such as “because.”

範例: Yes, I always carry a small notebook and a pen with me. I often get ideas or remember things I need to do during the day, and I’m not very good at remembering them later. Writing them down helps me keep track of everything.

× Actually I haven't because I'm not good at making things by my hand so I don't make any things.

✓ Actually, I haven't because I'm not good at making things by hand, so I don't make anything.

The fixed expression is by hand, not by my hand. Also, anything is more natural than any things when referring to things in a negative sentence.

× Actually I haven't because I'm not good at making things by hand so I don't make any things.

✓ Actually, I haven't because I'm not good at making things by hand, so I don't make anything.

In negative sentences, anything is normally used to mean any object or thing. Any things is grammatically possible in special contexts, but it is unnatural here.

× That's the only thing I do with papers.

✓ That's the only thing I do with paper.

Paper is generally an uncountable noun when referring to the material. The plural form papers usually refers to separate documents or sheets.

× As a child, I like to ask my parents to fold paper planes because since I wasn't good at folding even when I was seven.

✓ As a child, I liked to ask my parents to fold paper planes because I wasn't good at folding them, even when I was seven.

The phrase As a child refers to a finished period in the past, so like should be changed to the past-tense form liked.

× As a child, I like to ask my parents to fold paper planes because since I wasn't good at folding even when I was seven.

✓ As a child, I liked to ask my parents to fold paper planes because I wasn't good at folding them, even when I was seven.

Because and since both introduce a reason, so using them together is redundant. Use either because or since, not both.

× As a child, I like to ask my parents to fold paper planes because since I wasn't good at folding even when I was seven.

✓ As a child, I liked asking my parents to fold paper planes because I wasn't good at folding them, even when I was seven.

After like, both to ask and asking can be grammatical, but liked asking is a natural way to describe a repeated childhood activity. The verb folding is followed by the object them to make the meaning complete.

× It's because I actually like to send somebody notes with my own hands because it feels more genuine genuine, like it contains a more genuine feeling than just text messages.

✓ It's because I actually like to send somebody notes by hand because it feels more genuine, as if it contains a more genuine feeling than just text messages.

By hand is the natural prepositional expression for writing or sending something manually. With my own hands is understandable but less idiomatic in this context.

× It's because I actually like to send somebody notes with my own hands because it feels more genuine genuine, like it contains a more genuine feeling than just text messages.

✓ It's because I actually like to send somebody notes by hand because it feels more genuine than sending just text messages.

The adjective genuine should compare similar things. A handwritten note should be compared with sending text messages, rather than directly with text messages themselves.

× I just fold it really nicely and just put them in my desk so I can see them constantly.

✓ I just fold them really nicely and put them in my desk drawer so I can see them whenever I want.

The pronoun must agree with its antecedent. Letters is plural, so it must be changed to them.

× I just fold it really nicely and just put them in my desk so I can see them constantly.

✓ I just fold them really nicely and put them in my desk drawer so I can see them whenever I want.

In my desk is unclear because a desk is not normally used as a container. In my desk drawer clearly expresses where the letters are stored.

× Yes, I do. I carry them all the time because whenever I get inspiration in some certain things in my daily life, I just have to memorize it as my head is not that good, so I can't memorize all things exactly the same.

✓ Yes, I do. I carry them all the time because whenever I get inspiration from something in my daily life, I have to write it down, as my memory isn't very good, so I can't remember everything exactly.

The correct preposition after inspiration in this meaning is from, not in. We get inspiration from an idea, experience, or thing.

× Yes, I do. I carry them all the time because whenever I get inspiration in some certain things in my daily life, I just have to memorize it as my head is not that good, so I can't memorize all things exactly the same.

✓ Yes, I do. I carry them all the time because whenever I get inspiration from something in my daily life, I have to write it down, as my memory isn't very good, so I can't remember everything exactly.

Head is not that good is not a natural way to describe difficulty remembering things. Memory isn't very good is the appropriate expression.

× Yes, I do. I carry them all the time because whenever I get inspiration in some certain things in my daily life, I just have to memorize it as my head is not that good, so I can't memorize all things exactly the same.

✓ Yes, I do. I carry them all the time because whenever I get inspiration from something in my daily life, I have to write it down, as my memory isn't very good, so I can't remember everything exactly.

Everything is the natural quantifier for referring to all ideas or information in this negative context. All things is possible but sounds unnatural here.

× So I just try to write in the paper.

✓ So I just try to write on paper.

The standard expression is write on paper. The preposition on indicates the surface where writing appears, and paper is normally used without the definite article in this general meaning.

× So I just try to write in the paper.

✓ So I just try to write on paper.

When paper refers generally to the writing material, it does not normally take the definite article the. The paper would refer to a specific sheet already identified in the conversation.
