Keys— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant, with a direct topic sentence and supporting reason. To improve, shorten hesitation, avoid redundancy ("when I go out" repeated), and use one linking phrase to make it more concise. Also vary vocabulary slightly (e.g. "carry" instead of "bring") and keep under 4–5 sentences.

Example: No, I don't usually carry many keys. Because I'm forgetful and worry about losing them, I only take my house key when I go out to avoid unnecessary items.

Suggestion: You answered the question but grammar and clarity need work. Use a clear past tense, avoid vague phrases like "I think" and finish the idea. Add one or two specific details (where you looked, what you did) and use linking words (e.g. "so", "therefore"). Keep it concise and grammatical.

Example: Yes. Two years ago I lost my house key on the way home, so I retraced my steps and checked nearby shops but couldn't find it. Therefore I called the locksmith to get a replacement key.

Suggestion: Your response is relevant but contains hesitation and grammatical errors. Use a clear negative topic sentence, explain briefly why (habit or strategy), and give a precise reason (cost). Replace vague wording with exact expressions and correct verb forms and numbers (e.g. "it cost me £14").

Example: No, I don't often forget them. I make a habit of checking my bag before leaving because a locksmith call last time cost me £14.

Suggestion: Good structure: direct opinion then qualification. Improve by removing filler words and correcting grammar ("depends on who you give the key to", "trust"). Use a linking word (e.g. "however") to contrast and give a short specific condition when you would do it.

Example: It depends who you give the key to. If I trust a long-term neighbour I might leave a spare key with them; however, generally I prefer not to lend keys to neighbours for security reasons.

× I think yes. And it happened two years ago when I have to carry the physical keys outside with me and I think I lost it on the way home, but I didn't like remember particular place where I lost it and then I had to call the housing key company and.

✓ I think so. It happened two years ago when I had to carry the physical keys with me and I think I lost them on the way home, but I couldn't remember the exact place where I lost them, so I had to call the locksmith company.

Errors: mixed tenses and inappropriate present tense 'have to' should be past 'had to' for a past event (Grammar problem type ID 6 Present tense issue). Pronoun agreement: 'it' used for plural 'keys' should be 'them' (Grammar problem type ID 12 Incorrect use of pronouns). 'didn't like remember' is incorrect; use 'couldn't remember' to express inability (Grammar problem type ID 5 Past tense issue and 26 Sentence structure errors). 'housing key company' is an unnatural phrase; 'locksmith company' or 'locksmith' is clearer. Suggestion: keep past tense consistently for past events, match pronouns to plural nouns, and use standard collocations like 'locksmith'.

× I don't usually bring many keys with me when I go out because I'm quite forgetful and I'm afraid of losing them. So I only keep the house key and that's it when I go outside to avoid carrying unnecessary items.

✓ I don't usually bring many keys with me when I go out because I'm quite forgetful and I'm afraid of losing them. So I only take the house key when I go outside to avoid carrying unnecessary items.

Error: 'keep the house key and that's it when I go outside' is awkward and uses 'keep' instead of 'take' for carrying something when leaving (Grammar problem type ID 12 Incorrect use of pronouns and 26 Sentence structure errors). Suggestion: use 'take the house key' to mean carrying it when going out and simplify the clause for natural expression.

× Uh no, I just try to remember myself, like not to forget the keys and lock myself out because the company has been cost me a 14 if I forgot the keys.

✓ No, I just try to remember, so I don't forget the keys and lock myself out, because the company charged me 14 when I forgot the keys.

Errors: 'remember myself' is incorrect; use 'remember' or 'remind myself' (Grammar problem type ID 12 Incorrect use of pronouns). Tense and structure: 'has been cost me a 14 if I forgot' is ungrammatical; use past simple 'charged me 14' for a past event and 'when I forgot' for the condition (Grammar problem type ID 5 Past tense issue and 26 Sentence structure errors). Also omit filler 'Uh' and clarify currency if needed. Suggestion: use 'remind myself' or 'try to remember' and keep verb tense consistent.

× I think it depends on who like give the key, because if that's the person that who I trusted then it could be good idea to leave my key sometimes.

✓ I think it depends on who gives the key, because if that is someone I trust, then it could be a good idea to leave my key with them sometimes.

Errors: 'who like give the key' is ungrammatical; use 'who gives the key' (subject-verb agreement/third person) (Grammar problem type ID 2 Third person singular issue and 27 Subject-verb agreement errors). 'that who I trusted' mixes relative pronouns and tense; use 'someone I trust' for present trust (Grammar problem type ID 12 Incorrect use of pronouns and 6 Present tense issue). Missing article 'a good idea' (Grammar problem type ID 22 Article errors). Suggestion: use correct verb form for third-person singular, choose appropriate relative structure, and include articles.

× But in most cases I don't think that we should lend the key to a neighbor.

✓ But in most cases I don't think we should lend keys to a neighbor.

Issue: singular 'the key' implies a specific key; use plural 'keys' or 'a key' depending on meaning. Also 'that' is unnecessary (Grammar problem type ID 12 Incorrect use of pronouns and 26 Sentence structure errors). Suggestion: use 'lend keys' or 'lend a key' for general statements and drop redundant 'that'.
