Holidays— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and personal, which is good. However, try to avoid minor grammatical errors and improve sentence fluency. For example, say "I went to perform Umrah" instead of "The last holiday I went to perform Umrah." Also, avoid redundancy and use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

Example: For my last holiday, I went to perform Umrah with my mother, which was a memorable experience. It was especially meaningful because I funded the trip myself, fulfilling a long-held dream.

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question but contains repetition and grammatical errors. Try to structure your answer clearly with a topic sentence and supporting details, using linking words to improve coherence.

Example: Yes, I like holidays because, as I work full-time, I need rest. Holidays help me to refresh and take my mind off regular daily activities.

Suggestion: Your answer is clear but could be improved by correcting grammar and expanding with more specific details. Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid repetition.

Example: My favourite public holiday is Bakrid because my family and I spend quality time together, enjoying meals and sharing stories.

Suggestion: Your answer is understandable but somewhat repetitive and informal. Try to use varied vocabulary and structure your answer with a clear topic sentence and supporting details linked logically.

Example: During holidays, I usually relax by resting, sleeping well, eating good food, and playing video games to unwind.

Suggestion: Your answer shows good understanding but contains some grammatical errors and unclear phrases. Try to use clearer expressions and linking words to contrast your ideas.

× It was a quite memorable trip in my life because I did it my own money and specially with my mother.

✓ It was quite a memorable trip in my life because I did it with my own money and especially with my mother.

The article 'a' should be placed before 'memorable trip' to correctly modify the noun phrase. 'Quite' is an adverb and should precede the article. Also, 'did it my own money' is missing the preposition 'with' to indicate means. 'Specially' is incorrect here; the correct adverb is 'especially' to indicate emphasis.

× That is a long dream that came true.

✓ That was a long dream that came true.

The sentence refers to a past event, so the verb 'is' should be in the past tense 'was' to maintain tense consistency.

× I do like holidays because as I'm as I'm working full time I need rest so holidays makes me fresh a bit and take my mind off the things which we do regular activities.

✓ I do like holidays because as I'm working full time I need rest, so holidays make me feel a bit fresh and take my mind off the things which we do in regular activities.

The verb 'makes' should be 'make' to agree with the plural subject 'holidays'. Also, 'take' should be 'take' to match the plural subject. The phrase 'as I'm as I'm' is redundant and corrected to 'as I'm'. Added 'feel' after 'make me' for natural expression. Added 'in' before 'regular activities' for correct preposition usage.

× The best public holidays for me is Bakrid.

✓ The best public holiday for me is Bakrid.

'The best public holidays' is plural but the verb 'is' is singular. Since only one holiday is referred to, 'holiday' should be singular to match the singular verb 'is'.

× We spend time together eating and spending available time with each other.

✓ We spend time together eating and spending time with each other.

The phrase 'available time' is unnecessary and awkward here. Simply 'spending time with each other' is correct and natural.

× On holidays I used to calm myself, just relax all day long, sleep, have a good sleep, eat and do gaming.

✓ On holidays I usually calm myself, just relax all day long, sleep well, eat and play games.

'Used to' implies past habit, but the context is general. 'Usually' is better for habitual present. 'Have a good sleep' is awkward; 'sleep well' is more natural. 'Do gaming' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'play games'.

× I usually like to spend my day at home, but I would rather prefer going out or do something out of habit because it makes me feel good about myself rather than just sitting at home.

✓ I usually like to spend my day at home, but I would rather go out or do something different because it makes me feel good about myself rather than just sitting at home.

'Would rather' is followed by the base form of the verb, so 'prefer going out' is incorrect; it should be 'go out'. 'Do something out of habit' is unclear; 'do something different' fits better. The phrase 'out of habit' is misused here.

× I prefer leisurely holiday because when you have free time you can think about yourself, how to improve yourself and how to make yourself more valuable in your work or in your life.

✓ I prefer a leisurely holiday because when you have free time you can think about yourself, how to improve yourself and how to make yourself more valuable in your work or in your life.

The noun 'holiday' is singular and countable, so it requires the indefinite article 'a' before it.

× So leisure activities do make you know about yourself.

✓ So leisure activities do help you to know yourself better.

The original sentence is awkward and unclear. 'Do make you know about yourself' is incorrect. The corrected sentence uses 'help you to know yourself better' for clarity and correctness.

× It depends on the kind of mood I'm having.

✓ It depends on the kind of mood I have.

The present continuous 'I'm having' is less natural here; the simple present 'I have' is preferred when talking about moods in general.

× When I'm having a stressful week then I would prefer a peaceful holiday.

✓ When I have a stressful week, I prefer a peaceful holiday.

The present simple 'I have' is more appropriate for habitual or general statements. 'Would prefer' is conditional and less direct; 'prefer' is clearer here. Also, 'then' is unnecessary and removed.

× On the other hand, if the things turn out to be a more relaxing the whole week or month, I would prefer a sighting holiday.

✓ On the other hand, if things turn out to be more relaxing the whole week or month, I would prefer an exciting holiday.

'A more relaxing' is incomplete; it needs a noun after the adjective. 'The things' is incorrect; 'things' without 'the' is better. 'Sighting holiday' is incorrect; likely intended 'exciting holiday'. Also, 'a' before 'more relaxing' is removed.
