Writing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is quite long and a bit repetitive. Try to be more concise and directly answer the question first, then add a specific example. Avoid redundancy and keep it natural.

Example: Yes, I write quite a lot. For instance, I often write poems and academic essays, which helps me improve my writing skills and learn new things.

Suggestion: Your answer is a bit unclear and has some grammatical errors. Try to organise your ideas clearly with linking words and be specific about what you write and why.

Example: I like to write personal journals and notes about what I learn each day because it helps me remember important information and improve my writing skills.

Suggestion: If you don't understand a question, it's better to ask the examiner to repeat or clarify it politely. Try to respond directly once you understand the question.

Example: Could you please repeat the question? I want to make sure I understand it correctly.

Suggestion: Your answer is good but a bit long and slightly repetitive. Try to be more concise and use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly.

Example: I prefer handwriting because I'm slow at typing. Also, writing by hand helps me improve my handwriting and remember information better.

Suggestion: Good answer with clear ideas. To improve, try to use linking words and avoid minor grammar mistakes, like capitalising 'Diaries' unnecessarily.

Example: I used to keep diaries when I was younger, but now I usually write down my feelings on my phone's notepad whenever I feel like it.

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant but could be more concise and fluent. Avoid filler words like 'uh' and use linking words to connect your ideas better.

Example: Besides writing on my phone's notepad, I sometimes record voice memos or videos to express my feelings and reflect on them later.

× I usually write what I feel I as a child I used to keep a journal.

✓ I usually write what I feel. As a child, I used to keep a journal.

The original sentence is a run-on sentence lacking proper punctuation and conjunctions. Separating it into two sentences improves clarity and grammatical correctness.

× So I have always stayed true to what he had advised me.

✓ So I have always stayed true to what he advised me.

The verb 'advise' is typically followed directly by the object without 'had' in this context. Using 'had advised' suggests past perfect tense which is unnecessary here.

× And I do write a lot, whether it's for my academic writing or a poem or some.

✓ And I do write a lot, whether it's for my academic writing, a poem, or something else.

The phrase 'or some' is informal and unclear. Replacing it with 'or something else' clarifies the meaning and improves formality.

× I write down my feelings on the notepad of my phone, and I also sometimes record myself in a voice memo or either in video form, uh, just to express how I feel.

✓ I write down my feelings in the notepad on my phone, and I also sometimes record myself in a voice memo or in video form, just to express how I feel.

The correct preposition for using an app or feature on a device is 'in' or 'on' depending on context. 'In the notepad on my phone' is correct. Also, 'either' is unnecessary when listing options without 'or'.

× And then I listen it back to get a clear understanding of my perspective as well.

✓ And then I listen back to it to get a clear understanding of my perspective as well.

The adverb 'back' should be placed after the verb 'listen' and the pronoun 'it' should follow the verb phrase for correct word order.
