Relax— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a direct topic sentence, correct verb forms, avoid redundancy, and add a brief reason or detail using a linking word. Keep to 1–3 sentences.

Example: Lately I usually relax in my bedroom. However, I am learning to swim, so when I want to relax outside I prefer going to a swimming pool because being in the water helps me feel calm and refreshes my mind.

Suggestion: Good content and specifics, but fix grammar and reduce redundancy. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific example using a linking word. Keep sentences shorter and correct verb agreement.

Example: I usually relax with my sister because she understands me and we share hobbies. For example, we often go hiking or cook together, which helps me unwind and see problems more clearly.

Suggestion: Answer directly and correct grammar (subject-verb agreement and verb forms). Use linking words and be specific about types of music and situations. Limit to 1–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I think listening to music is very relaxing because it affects your mood. For example, when I feel tired or nervous I listen to soft instrumental music, which helps me calm down quickly.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and correct grammar (singular/plural, word choice). Use linking words to contrast activities and give one specific example of a craft or video type. Keep it concise.

Example: As a young person, I usually relax by watching short videos on social media. However, I also enjoy doing handicrafts such as simple embroidery or sketching, which helps me concentrate and unwind.

× Usually I just relax in my bedroom, but now I learn to how to swim in.

✓ Usually I just relax in my bedroom, but now I am learning how to swim.

The original uses 'learn' in simple present while describing a current ongoing action. Use the present continuous (am learning) for an action happening now, and remove the extra 'to' before 'how'. Also 'in' at the end is unnecessary and removed.

× So if I choose a place to relax in outside, I will choose a swimming pool.

✓ So if I choose a place to relax outside, I will choose a swimming pool.

The phrase 'relax in outside' mixes prepositions. Use either 'relax in' plus a noun ('a pool') or 'relax outside'. Here 'relax outside' is correct and concise; removing the extra 'in' fixes the error.

× I really relax with my sister because she understands my feelings and we share the same hobbies.

✓ I usually relax with my sister because she understands my feelings and we share the same hobbies.

The sentence is mostly correct grammatically, but 'really relax' is less natural in this context. Replacing with 'usually relax' matches the question about who you usually relax with and maintains subject-verb agreement (we share).

× For example, we often go hiking or cook together which helps me unwind and put problems into perspective which give me a lot of help.

✓ For example, we often go hiking or cook together, which helps me unwind and puts problems into perspective and gives me a lot of help.

Relative clause subject is 'it' or the activity 'going hiking or cooking' (treated singular), so verbs should be singular: 'helps', 'puts', 'gives'. Also add commas to separate clauses and change 'which give me a lot of help' to 'gives me a lot of help' for agreement and clarity.

× Yes, I think listening to music is the best way to relax because they can easily to address your mood.

✓ Yes, I think listening to music is the best way to relax because it can easily affect your mood.

The subject 'listening to music' is a singular gerund phrase, so use singular pronoun 'it' not 'they'. 'Address your mood' is unnatural here; 'affect your mood' or 'change your mood' is more appropriate. Remove the extra 'to' after 'easily'.

× For example if you are very tired or nervous you can listening to some light music, it will help you to relax.

✓ For example, if you are very tired or nervous you can listen to some light music; it will help you relax.

After modal 'can' use the base form 'listen', not 'listening'. Use a semicolon or period to separate clauses, and omit 'to' after 'help' in 'help you relax' for natural phrasing.

× As a young people I usually use social media to help me to relax, like watch some short videos.

✓ As a young person, I usually use social media to help me relax, like watching short videos.

'Young people' is plural; after 'as a' use the singular 'young person'. Remove the extra 'to' in 'help me to relax' (both forms are possible but 'help me relax' is more natural). After 'like' gerund form 'watching' is preferred to indicate example activities.

× But sometimes I also love to do some hand work, handcraft or drawing some pictures.

✓ But sometimes I also like doing handicrafts or drawing pictures.

Use 'like doing' or 'love doing' rather than 'love to do' for hobbies; 'hand work' is not natural—use 'handicrafts'. Use parallel gerund forms ('doing handicrafts or drawing pictures') for consistency.

× It can also help me unwind.

✓ They can also help me unwind.

Refers back to plural activities ('handicrafts or drawing pictures'), so use plural pronoun 'they' instead of singular 'it' for correct reference and agreement.
