Do you make a list when you shop?
Candidato
Yes, I usually write a shopping list when I shop for more than four to five items. Because if the items I'm I'm going to buy is a is just two items I remember can't remember them easily, but if they exceed the four items, I tend to forget an item or two. So it's better for me to make a shopping list.

Why don't some people like making lists?
Candidato
People who don't like making less often have a solid memory and they can remember things easily and they, I assume, organize things in their head better than when writing them on notes or on computers. So yeah, I guess their operation system in their brain is better.

Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Candidato
I do prefer making list on my phone because it's more convenient, the font is obviously clearer and it helps to organize things. Also by date, whether in notes or in paper, things can get messy and you can lose the paper anyway, so on your phone is better for me.
Do you make a list when you shop?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Keep the answer concise and coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and filler words, and use one or two supporting details with linking words. Correct simple grammar (subject-verb agreement and word order) and remove duplicated words.
Ejemplo: Yes. I usually write a shopping list when I buy more than four items because I often forget things if the list is longer. For example, when I shop for groceries I list staples first and check them off as I go, which saves time and prevents repeated trips.
Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
Puntuación: 76.0Sugerencia: Use one concise topic sentence and combine supporting details with linking words to avoid repetition. Mention a specific example of how lists improve productivity and correct slight redundancy (organized / in order).
Ejemplo: Yes, I make daily and weekly task lists at work because they help me prioritise and track progress. For instance, I list urgent tasks at the top and tick them off during the day, which reduces stress and ensures nothing is missed.
Why don't some people like making lists?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Avoid vague phrases and informal fillers. Give a clearer topic sentence and provide two specific reasons with linking words. Replace colloquial or unclear metaphors like "operation system" with precise vocabulary such as "mental organisation" and correct grammar mistakes.
Ejemplo: Some people dislike making lists because they have good memories and prefer to keep information in their head. Also, they may find lists restrictive and believe mental organisation is faster for routine tasks.
Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
Puntuación: 74.0Sugerencia: Start with a direct topic sentence and use linking words to present two clear reasons. Avoid redundant phrasing and minor grammar errors (articles, plural forms). Mention a specific app or function as an example to make the answer more concrete.
Ejemplo: I prefer making lists on my phone because it's convenient and searchable. For example, I use a notes app with checkboxes and reminders, so I can set deadlines and avoid losing paper lists.
× Yes, I usually write a shopping list when I shop for more than four to five items.
✓ Yes, I usually write a shopping list when I shop for more than four or five items.
Use 'or' when giving a range of alternatives ('four or five'), not 'to'. Replace 'to' with 'or' to correctly express approximate counts.
× Because if the items I'm I'm going to buy is a is just two items I remember can't remember them easily, but if they exceed the four items, I tend to forget an item or two.
✓ Because if the items I'm going to buy are just two, I usually can't remember them easily, but if they exceed four items, I tend to forget an item or two.
Subject 'items' is plural, so use plural verb 'are' not 'is'. Remove duplicated words and reorder for clarity. Use 'usually can't' instead of fragmented 'I remember can't'.
× So it's better for me to make a shopping list.
✓ So it's better for me to make a shopping list.
Sentence is grammatical; no change needed. Included here to show context is correct.
× Yes, I usually make a daily and even a weekly list of tasks for the things that I have to do at work.
✓ Yes, I usually make a daily and even a weekly list of tasks for the things I have to do at work.
Omit the unnecessary definite article 'the' before 'things' in this general statement to sound more natural.
× It helps me to keep things organized and in order as well.
✓ It helps me keep things organized and in order as well.
After 'helps', the base verb (without 'to') is more natural: 'helps me keep' rather than 'helps me to keep' (both are acceptable, but removing 'to' is more idiomatic here).
× And yes, it does work.
✓ And yes, it does work.
Sentence is grammatically correct; included for completeness.
× It helps everything to be organized and it helps me to recall easily the tasks that I have to do.
✓ It helps everything be organized and it helps me easily recall the tasks I have to do.
After 'helps', use base verb 'be' rather than 'to be' for conciseness; place adverb 'easily' before the verb it modifies ('recall') and remove unnecessary 'the' before 'tasks' in this general context.
× People who don't like making less often have a solid memory and they can remember things easily and they, I assume, organize things in their head better than when writing them on notes or on computers.
✓ People who don't like making lists often have a good memory; they can remember things easily and, I assume, organize things in their heads better than when they write notes or use a computer.
Replace 'less' with 'lists' (typo). Use 'lists often' order and 'good memory' is more natural. Use plural 'heads' for 'people' and fix comparative clause to use consistent verb forms ('write notes'/'use a computer').
× So yeah, I guess their operation system in their brain is better.
✓ So yeah, I guess their operating system in their brain is better.
Use the noun phrase 'operating system' rather than 'operation system'. Alternatively, say 'their brain's operating system' or 'their mental organization is better' for more natural phrasing.
× I do prefer making list on my phone because it's more convenient, the font is obviously clearer and it helps to organize things.
✓ I prefer making lists on my phone because it's more convenient; the font is obviously clearer and it helps organize things.
Use plural 'lists' to match meaning and pluralization rules. 'Prefer' is sufficient without 'do' unless used for emphasis. Use 'helps organize' (base verb) and correct preposition 'on my phone' stays; add punctuation for clarity.
× Also by date, whether in notes or in paper, things can get messy and you can lose the paper anyway, so on your phone is better for me.
✓ Also, when sorted by date, whether in notes or on paper, things can get messy and you can lose the paper, so my phone is better for me.
Use 'on paper' not 'in paper'. 'When sorted by date' clarifies 'by date'. 'On your phone is better for me' is inconsistent; use 'my phone is better for me' or 'on my phone is better' to match speaker perspective.
