List— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Focus on clear grammar and sentence structure: start with a concise topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct tense and phrasing (e.g., "planning beforehand helps" not "to planning"). Avoid repetition and finish within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I always make a shopping list because I often forget items if I go without one. For example, planning beforehand helps me stick to my budget and saves time at the store. Therefore I usually only buy what I need.

Sugerencia: Start with a direct answer and give one clear reason with a linking word. Reduce hesitations and avoid vague phrasing like "tend to recommend". Use a clear structure: topic sentence + reason + brief example or result.

Ejemplo: I usually make a to-do list for work, but it doesn't always work for me. Because my priorities often change during the day, I sometimes skip tasks. As a result, I try to set realistic priorities to improve consistency.

Sugerencia: Provide a direct reason and one supporting explanation with a linking word. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "prefer flexibility" rather than "go with the flow") and avoid redundancy like "that they think and that they need to do."

Ejemplo: Some people dislike making lists because they prefer flexibility. For instance, they may feel restricted by a set plan and would rather respond to tasks as they come, which feels less stressful to them.

Sugerencia: Answer directly then give two clear, specific reasons using linking words. Remove fillers and repeated phrases. Use precise wording like "phone apps" and one short example of convenience.

Ejemplo: I prefer making lists on my phone because it's more convenient and I always have it with me. Also, planning apps let me set reminders and reorder tasks easily, which saves time when I'm busy.

× I always make a list when I shop because I know that I might forget something to planning that beforehand actually help help me to stick to the plan and just buy the things that I need.

✓ I always make a list when I shop because I know that I might forget something; planning beforehand actually helps me stick to the plan and just buy the things that I need.

The original contains incorrect verb forms and structure. 'to planning' is wrong because after 'forget' you need either 'to' + base verb (to forget to do something) or a gerund (forget doing something); here the intended meaning is 'planning beforehand' (a noun/gerund phrase). Also 'help help me' is redundant and 'help' should be singular third-person 'helps' to agree with the singular subject 'planning beforehand'. Remove redundancy and use a semicolon or conjunction to link clauses. Suggestion: use 'planning beforehand actually helps me stick to the plan'.

× And so it's actually quite time save it has.

✓ And so it's actually quite time-saving.

The phrase 'time save it has' is ungrammatical. Use the adjective 'time-saving' to describe something that saves time. The corrected sentence is concise and fits the context.

× I tend to recommend for my work, but unfortunately I don't always stick to the plan.

✓ I tend to make lists for my work, but unfortunately I don't always stick to the plan.

'Recommend for my work' is incorrect here; the student likely meant 'make lists for my work'. 'Recommend' needs an object (recommend something to someone). Replacing it with 'make lists' fixes the meaning and corrects the preposition usage.

× Umm, you know, I change it or I might, uh, skip one or two because, uh, for me to be able to stick to the plan sometimes difficult and I find it difficult.

✓ I change it or I might skip one or two items because it is sometimes difficult for me to stick to the plan.

The original sentence has poor word order and missing verb ('is'). 'for me to be able to stick to the plan sometimes difficult' should be rephrased to 'it is sometimes difficult for me to stick to the plan' to provide a clear subject and verb. Also remove filler words for clarity.

× I think they fear that they might not be able to stick to the list, so for them it's quite challenging and just want to go with the flow and do everything that they think and that they need to do.

✓ I think they fear that they might not be able to stick to the list, so for them it's quite challenging and they just want to go with the flow and do whatever they think they need to do.

The original omits the subject 'they' before 'just want', causing a clause fragment. Also 'everything that they think and that they need to do' is wordy; 'whatever they think they need to do' is more natural. Ensure subjects are present for modal constructions.

× I'm on my phone because it's more convenient and with all these, umm, plan up, uh, it's actually quite straightforward to do your planning on your app and actually your, your phone is always with you.

✓ I use my phone because it's more convenient, and with all these planning apps it's actually quite straightforward to plan on an app; besides, your phone is always with you.

'I'm on my phone' is informal and ambiguous; 'I use my phone' is clearer. 'plan up' is incorrect — likely 'planning apps'. 'do your planning on your app' is awkward; replace with 'plan on an app'. Also add linking words for flow and correct prepositions: 'plan on' and 'with you' are appropriate.

× So you just can pick them up and check your, check your, check your.

✓ So you can just pick it up and check it.

The original uses 'them' and 'your' repeatedly and redundantly. The phone is singular, so use the pronoun 'it' rather than 'them'. Remove repeated fragments and use consistent pronouns.
