Patience— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and organize your answer: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason and a brief example. Avoid repetition and grammatical errors (e.g., 'if things won't come up with a good result' → 'if things don't turn out well'). Use linking words like 'because' and 'so' correctly.

Example: Yes, I consider myself a patient person. I believe rushing often leads to mistakes, so I prefer to take my time and stay calm. For example, when I work on reports I review them slowly to avoid errors.

Suggestion: Open with a direct statement, then give a specific situation and a short consequence. Correct grammar (e.g., 'someone keeps' not 'keep', 'didn't hand me' → 'doesn't hand me'). Use a linking word such as 'because' or 'so'.

Example: I get impatient when others repeatedly miss deadlines. For example, at work if a colleague doesn't submit their part on time, it delays my tasks and increases my stress.

Suggestion: Provide a clearer topic sentence (e.g., 'I feel anxious or less confident') and explain why with a specific example. Use accurate collocations ('not confident' rather than 'unconfident') and avoid repeating the same phrase.

Example: I tend to feel less confident and anxious when a task takes a very long time because uncertainty builds up. For example, after studying for a year for an entrance exam, I worried constantly about my results, which lowered my confidence.

Suggestion: Give a concise topic sentence, then one clear reason and a specific example. Fix grammar and clarity: avoid repeating 'because' and awkward phrases like 'one is they will affect a lot'. Use linking words such as 'so' or 'therefore'.

Example: Yes, my job requires patience because I must check many details before submitting work to other departments. If I miss something, the project may need redoing and cause significant delays, so I review everything carefully.

Suggestion: Start with a clear comparative sentence, then give one concrete childhood example and contrast it with the present. Correct tense usage (e.g., 'I didn't like to wait', 'I would always ask') and unclear phrase 'things can rush' → 'things can't be rushed'.

Example: Yes, I am more patient now than I was as a child. When I was young I disliked waiting and would constantly ask when I could get my test results or go to bed. Now I understand that things can't be rushed, so I handle delays calmly.

× Yes, I am a patient person because I believe if you do things too fast, then if things won't come up with a good result, we shouldn't rush, we should stay calm and to do the things in a slow pace.

✓ Yes, I am a patient person because I believe if you do things too fast and they don't produce good results, we shouldn't rush; we should stay calm and do things at a slow pace.

Incorrect tense and modal structure: 'won't come up with a good result' is awkward and mixes future negation with a general statement. Use present simple 'don't produce' for general truths. 'to do the things in a slow pace' is incorrect verb and preposition use; use bare infinitive 'do' after modal structure and 'at a slow pace' for the correct preposition and noun phrase. Suggestion: use present simple for general statements and correct preposition 'at'.

× I think if someone keep postponing their deadlines then I would be impatient.

✓ I think if someone keeps postponing their deadlines, then I would be impatient.

Subject-verb agreement requires third person singular 'keeps' not 'keep' when the subject is 'someone'. This falls under present participle usage combined with agreement. Suggestion: use 'keeps postponing' for correct form.

× For example, in work if someone didn't hand me their things on time then they will affect me and I will be impatient.

✓ For example, at work, if someone doesn't hand me their things on time, it affects me and I become impatient.

Tense inconsistency: sentence mixes past 'didn't' with future 'will affect' and 'will be impatient'. Use present simple 'doesn't' and 'affects' for habitual situations. Also 'in work' should be 'at work' (preposition error). Suggestion: keep present simple for general/habitual actions and correct preposition to 'at'.

× I will feel not confident.

✓ I won't feel confident.

Awkward negation 'feel not confident' is unidiomatic in English. Use contracted or standard negative 'won't feel confident' or 'do not feel confident' depending on context. Suggestion: use 'I wouldn't feel confident' if describing hypothetical; here 'I felt not confident' could be past — choose according to context. For future feeling, use 'I would not feel confident' if conditional.

× For example, I once studied for a whole year to prepare for my college exam and I was really unconfident at that time.

✓ For example, I once studied for a whole year to prepare for my college exam, and I felt very unconfident at that time.

Word choice and tense: 'was really unconfident' is grammatically acceptable but 'felt very unconfident' is more natural. 'Really' as intensifier is informal; 'very' fits better in this context. Suggestion: use 'felt' to describe internal state and 'very unconfident' for clarity.

× Yes, my job needs me to be patient because there are so many details that I need to check when I hand in my results to other departments because one is they will affect a lot and if we redo the project then it would take more time in the project.

✓ Yes, my job requires me to be patient because there are many details I need to check when I hand in my results to other departments, since mistakes could have a large impact and redoing the project would take more time.

Multiple issues: 'needs me to be' is acceptable but 'requires me to be' is more formal. Sentence contains unclear pronoun reference 'one is they will affect a lot' and poor clause structure. Use 'since mistakes could have a large impact' for clarity and 'redoing the project would take more time' for correct gerund and conditional. Suggestion: break into clearer clauses and replace vague pronouns with specific nouns.

× I think I'm definitely more patient now because when I was a child, I don't like to wait.

✓ I think I'm definitely more patient now because when I was a child, I didn't like to wait.

Tense inconsistency: 'when I was a child' requires past tense 'didn't like', not present 'don't like'. Suggestion: maintain past tense for past time references.

× I will always ask where were the things be done.

✓ I would always ask where things were done.

Incorrect word order for indirect question and incorrect passive construction 'be done'. In reported/indirect speech, use subject-verb order 'where things were done' and past tense 'were done'. Also 'I will always ask' should be 'I would always ask' to match past habitual action. Suggestion: use 'would' for past habits and correct word order for indirect questions.

× For example, I will ask when can I get my results of the test and when can I go to sleep.

✓ For example, I would ask when I could get my test results and when I could go to sleep.

Indirect question word order is incorrect: use 'when I could get' not 'when can I get' in reported speech. Also 'results of the test' is better as 'test results'. Use 'would' and past tense 'could' to reflect past habitual questions. Suggestion: convert direct question form to indirect question form.

× But now I know that things can rush. We need to be patient.

✓ But now I know that things can't be rushed. We need to be patient.

Collocation error: 'things can rush' is incorrect; the passive 'things can be rushed' or negative 'can't be rushed' is appropriate. The intended meaning is that things should not be rushed, so 'can't be rushed' is clearer. Suggestion: use passive with 'rushed' and include negation to express that rushing is not possible or desirable.
