Mirrors— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clearer, more grammatical and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence (Yes/No), give one or two specific reasons, use linking words, and avoid repetition. Keep answers under five sentences.

Example: Yes, I usually look at myself in the mirror every morning. I use it to check my hair and put on makeup, so I can leave the house looking neat. Sometimes I glance in the mirror during the day, but the morning routine is when I look most carefully.

Suggestion: Answer directly and organize details logically. Say whether you have bought mirrors, then explain why and give specific examples. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example'. Avoid filler sounds and awkward phrases.

Example: Yes, I have bought small mirrors. For example, I keep a compact mirror in my pouch to check my teeth or remove food after eating, and sometimes to take out eyelash glue or stray hairs.

Suggestion: Make the reason concise and grammatical. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason with a linking word. Avoid vague language and redundancy.

Example: Yes, I usually carry a small mirror with me. I feel more confident when I have it because I can quickly check my appearance and fix anything that looks out of place.

Suggestion: Provide a clear direct answer (Yes/No), then explain with specific details. Use linking words and correct word choice (e.g., 'decorate', 'main reason'). Avoid confusing negatives and awkward phrasing.

Example: Not primarily for decoration. I have a large full-length mirror in my room because it lets me see my whole outfit, but choosing it was more for practical use than for decorating.

× Umm, I'm looking at myself in the mirror, usually in the morning because I have to grace the rest and put the makeup, so I have to.

✓ Umm, I look at myself in the mirror usually in the morning because I have to freshen up and put on makeup.

The student used present continuous 'I'm looking' to describe a habitual action; English uses simple present for habits. 'Grace the rest' is incorrect word choice; 'freshen up' or 'get ready' fits. Use 'put on makeup' rather than 'put the makeup'. Keep word order: adverb 'usually' after subject or before verb is acceptable; simplified sentence improves clarity.

× I have to use the mirror to refix myself well and I think.

✓ I have to use the mirror to fix myself up properly, I think.

'Refix' is not natural; use 'fix up' or 'refresh'. The sentence used 'well' oddly; 'properly' is a better adverb. 'I think' can remain but is separated by a comma. The verb phrase 'fix myself up' is correct for the intended meaning.

× Yes, I have a small mirror in my pouch because sometimes I have to check umm my face like an after when I finish the meal to looking on my oral structure or sometime I have to take something off my eye or my face.

✓ Yes, I have a small mirror in my pouch because sometimes I have to check my face afterward when I finish a meal, to look at my appearance, or sometimes I have to remove something from my eye or face.

Use simple present 'I have' for possession. 'Like an after' is incorrect; 'afterward' or 'after' is appropriate. 'To looking' should be 'to look' (infinitive after 'to'). 'Or sometime' should be 'sometimes'. 'Oral structure' is unnatural for face; use 'appearance'. These corrections address verb form, adverb choice, and word choice.

× Yes I do. I take it everywhere the small mirror because it's make me like feel more calm with them because I can take the that everything works right with using this mirror.

✓ Yes I do. I take the small mirror everywhere because it makes me feel calmer since I can check that everything looks right with the mirror.

'Take it everywhere the small mirror' has wrong word order; place the noun phrase 'the small mirror' together. 'It's make' is incorrect subject-verb agreement; use 'it makes'. 'Like feel more calm' should be 'feel calmer'. 'Take the that' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'check that everything looks right'. These address word order, subject-verb agreement, adjective/adverb choice, and sentence structure.

× Umm I can't say that I don't do this for the correct my room.

✓ Umm I can't say that I do this to correct my room.

Original 'don't do this for the correct my room' is ungrammatical. The intended meaning appears to be 'I do this to correct/arrange my room' or 'I don't do this to decorate my room'. Choose 'I can't say that I do this to correct my room' if admitting occasional use. Use infinitive 'to correct' after 'do this' to express purpose.

× I just choose one that's large enough to see all my all over my body.

✓ I just chose one that's large enough to see my whole body.

Tense: if describing past purchase, use simple past 'chose'; if general present choice, 'choose' could be acceptable—here past fits better. 'All my all over my body' is redundant; use 'my whole body'. Remove extra words. Article use 'one' is fine; simplify phrase.

× So I have a large one in my room but it's not my first proposed to get this.

✓ So I have a large one in my room, but it was not my first choice to get it.

'It's not my first proposed' is incorrect; use 'it was not my first choice'. Tense depends on whether choosing in past; 'was' is natural referring to decision made earlier. Use 'get it' rather than 'get this' for pronoun agreement. This fixes verb tense and word choice.
