Puzzles— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and directly answer the question, then give one or two clear reasons with linking words. Avoid filler sounds and repetition. Improve grammar (use past tense consistently) and finish sentences fully.

Example: No, I didn't do puzzles much when I was a child. Instead, I preferred playing with Lego because I found building models more fun and creative. Also, puzzles seemed too difficult and boring for me at that age.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence, then add a short supporting detail using linking words like 'usually' or 'often'. Reduce hesitation and correct minor grammar (e.g., 'have nothing to do'). Mention one example to make it specific.

Example: I usually do puzzles when I feel bored or have nothing to do. For example, I often solve jigsaw puzzles at home with my younger brother to pass the time and relax.

Suggestion: Answer directly naming which type is harder, then explain briefly with a clear reason and an example. Use correct comparative forms and simplify phrases (e.g., 'much more difficult'). Avoid repetitions and filler words.

Example: Both types are challenging, but word puzzles are much more difficult for me because they require a large vocabulary and careful searching for words. For instance, word searches with lots of similar-looking words confuse me.

Suggestion: Give a direct opinion, then support it with specific benefits using linking words like 'because' or 'for example'. Use correct vocabulary (e.g., 'bored' and 'brain'). Keep it to two or three sentences.

Example: Yes, I think older people should do puzzles because they help keep the brain active and improve memory. For example, doing crossword puzzles or jigsaw puzzles can be a good daily exercise for mental health.

× Actually, I didn't when I was a child.

✓ Actually, I didn't do them when I was a child.

The original sentence omits the main verb 'do' after the auxiliary 'didn't'. In negative past tense constructions, 'didn't' must be followed by the base form of the main verb. Add 'do' to form a complete negative past tense clause.

× I love to do uh, I love to play Lego games, which is my favorite 1 and I, I really don't like puzzles, which is a very boring to me.

✓ I loved playing with Lego when I was a child; it was my favorite, and I really didn't like puzzles because they were very boring to me.

The student mixes present and past tenses and uses incorrect article/structure ('a very boring to me'). The question asked about childhood, so use past tense consistently (loved, was, didn't like, were boring). Also change 'love to play Lego games' to 'loved playing with Lego' for natural phrasing, and use 'because they were very boring to me' to explain reason.

× And also one of the point is it was so difficult to.

✓ Also, one of the reasons was that they were so difficult for me.

The original sentence is incomplete and ungrammatical ('one of the point', 'difficult to.' with no verb). Change to 'one of the reasons was that they were so difficult for me' to provide a complete clause and correct noun/verb forms.

× When do you do puzzles, during your trip or when you feel bored?

✓ When do you do puzzles: during trips or when you feel bored?

This is the examiner's line; suggest clearer phrasing by pluralizing 'trip' to 'trips' to match general habit and keep present tense 'do' and 'feel' for habitual actions.

× Let me think. Well, I usually do passes when I feel bored and when I I when I don't have any things to do and I I prefer to do puzzles with my family members such as my younger brother.

✓ Let me think. Well, I usually do puzzles when I feel bored or when I don't have anything to do, and I prefer to do puzzles with my family members, such as my younger brother.

Errors include a wrong word 'passes' (should be 'puzzles'), repetition, wrong quantifier 'any things' (should be 'anything'), and punctuation. Use present simple for habitual actions and correct noun forms.

× Do you like doing word puzzles or number puzzles? Which is more difficult for you?

✓ Do you like doing word puzzles or number puzzles? Which are more difficult for you?

The question asks about plural subjects 'word puzzles' and 'number puzzles', so the verb should agree in number: use 'are' rather than 'is' or implied singular. This ensures subject-verb agreement with plural nouns.

× Uh, so both are difficult to me, but uh, the word puzzles more extremely difficult to me and because it has too many words and difficult to find and hundreds of pieces from of puzzle.

✓ Both are difficult for me, but word puzzles are especially difficult because they contain many words and are hard to solve; also, number puzzles can have hundreds of pieces.

Multiple issues: use 'for me' not 'to me' with 'difficult', 'more extremely difficult' is redundant—use 'especially difficult', mismatched subject-verb forms ('it has' should refer to puzzles as plural), and unclear phrasing 'difficult to find and hundreds of pieces from of puzzle'. Rewrite for clarity and correct prepositions and plural agreement.

× Do you think it is good for old people to do puzzles?

✓ Do you think it is good for elderly people to do puzzles?

Stylistic improvement: 'old people' is less appropriate than 'elderly people' or 'older adults'. The grammar is acceptable, but recommend better word choice for politeness.

× Yes I do old people should do some puzzles when they board and it's improve their uh, brand and brand mental health and.

✓ Yes, I do. Older people should do puzzles when they are bored because it can improve their brain and mental health.

This sentence has several tense and grammar issues: missing punctuation and sentence boundary after 'Yes I do', wrong word 'board' should be 'bored', incorrect verb form 'it's improve' should be 'it can improve' or 'they can improve', and 'brand' is a typo for 'brain'. Use present simple for general statements and correct word choice.
