Mirrors— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make your answer more concise and natural by starting with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons. Avoid repeating obvious facts (e.g., a mirror reflects). Use linking words like “because” or “so” to connect ideas and vary vocabulary (e.g., “check my outfit” → “check my appearance or outfit”).

Example: Yes. I check the mirror every morning before I leave the house because I want to make sure my outfit looks coordinated and my hair is neat. For example, I usually adjust my accessories or fix my hair if something looks off.

Suggestion: Be specific and correct grammar. Begin with a direct statement about past purchases, then add one clear detail. Avoid unclear phrases (e.g., “big mural” likely meant “full-length mirror”). Use linking words like “also” or “in addition.”

Example: Yes, I have. I often buy small compact mirrors to carry in my bag so I can touch up my makeup on the go. I also have a full-length mirror in my bedroom that helps me check my outfit before I leave.

Suggestion: Correct grammar and phrasing, and keep the answer focused. Start with a direct yes/no then explain with one clear reason and a concise example. Remove confusing words (e.g., “bring a meal with me” is incorrect here).

Example: Yes, I usually carry a small mirror to formal events such as weddings or birthday parties because I want to quickly check my makeup and hair. For instance, I use it to reapply lipstick between photos.

Suggestion: Answer directly and improve sentence structure. Say whether you would use mirrors for decoration, then explain the main reason using a linking word like “but” or “however.” Use correct phrases (e.g., “I don’t install mirrors for decoration” and “to make sure I look neat”).

Example: I wouldn’t install mirrors mainly as decorations; I use them for practical reasons. For example, I have a large mirror in my room so I can check my outfit and groom myself before going out.

× Every day when I go outside, I need to look at the mirror to check my outfit and my appearance, and the mirror can reflect my face and my figure so I can make sure that I look beautiful.

✓ Every day when I go outside, I look in the mirror to check my outfit and my appearance, and the mirror reflects my face and figure so I can make sure I look presentable.

The original uses 'need to look at the mirror' which is unnecessary and awkward for a habitual action; use simple present 'look' for routines. 'Look at the mirror' should be 'look in the mirror'. 'Can reflect' is grammatically possible but simple present 'reflects' is more natural for a general truth. 'Look beautiful' is subjective; 'look presentable' is more appropriate in this context.

× Yes, I used to buy some small mirrors that I can put it in my bag and when I go outside I can check my appearance anytime.

✓ Yes, I used to buy small mirrors that I could put in my bag, and when I went out I could check my appearance anytime.

The sentence mixes past habitual 'used to' with present modal 'can' and present tense 'go'. When describing past habitual actions, use past forms: 'could' and 'went out'. Also 'put it in my bag' is ungrammatical because 'mirrors that I could put in my bag' already contains the object; remove 'it'.

× What's more in my bedroom there has a big mural so every day when I go outside I can check my outfit.

✓ What's more, there is a big mirror in my bedroom, so every day before I go out I can check my outfit.

The construction 'in my bedroom there has a big mural' is incorrect for existence. Use 'there is' to state existence. Also 'mural' (wall painting) is likely wrong; 'mirror' fits context. Change time phrase to 'before I go out' for clarity and consistent tense.

× Yes, especially I go to some formal occasion like others wedding or my friend's birthday, bring a meal with me, can let me check my appearance every time and I can make sure I look beautiful.

✓ Yes, especially when I go to formal occasions like other people's weddings or my friend's birthday, I bring a small mirror with me so I can check my appearance and make sure I look presentable.

Multiple issues: Use plural 'occasions' and possessive 'other people's weddings'. The clause needs 'when' to introduce the condition. 'Bring a meal with me' is incorrect—likely 'bring a mirror'. Also subjects and verbs require correct forms: 'I bring' for habitual present. Use 'so I can' to express purpose. Replace 'look beautiful' with 'look presentable' for naturalness.

× Yes, but I installed mirror don't for decoration but for another function.

✓ Yes, but I installed the mirror not for decoration but for another function.

The phrase 'installed mirror don't' is ungrammatical. Use 'installed the mirror' and negative 'not for decoration' to show purpose. No -ing form is required here; correct word order and article use are needed.

× When I go outside I can check my outfit and appearance so to make sure that I look neat.

✓ When I go out, I can check my outfit and appearance to make sure that I look neat.

Use 'go out' instead of 'go outside' for idiomatic English. Remove unnecessary 'so' before 'to make sure' and use infinitive 'to make sure' to express purpose. Tense 'can check' is fine for ability in present.
