Keys— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be clearer and more concise. Begin with a direct topic sentence answering the question (e.g., “No, I don't usually carry many keys.”). Avoid pronunciation mistakes (saying "kids" instead of "keys") and filler phrases like "you know" and "I’d like to say". Limit to about 2–4 sentences and provide one specific reason and an example. Use linking words (because, so, therefore) to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: No, I don't usually carry many keys because they are heavy and take up space in my small bag. These days I often use a smart lock, so I only need my fingerprint or phone to get in, which is much more convenient.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence and give a concise specific example. Correct word choice and grammar ("lost my keys", "after I got back home"). Use one or two linking words to structure the story (for example, "when" and "so"). Keep it within 2–4 sentences and add a brief consequence or lesson learned.

Ejemplo: Yes, I have. When I was a child I lost my keys after I got home and my mother scolded me severely. Since then I've been much more careful and always put my keys in the same place so I don't lose them again.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and avoid repetition. Use correct grammar and smoother linking (e.g., "as I mentioned" rather than "as I said before"). Provide one clear reason and a brief supporting detail. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and avoid unnecessary fillers like "so" multiple times.

Ejemplo: No, that rarely happens to me because I use a smart lock. I unlock the door with my fingerprint, so I don't have to worry about forgetting or losing physical keys.

Sugerencia: Give a clear position first, then support it with 1–2 specific reasons. Use accurate grammar ("neighbour is reliable", "people are becoming isolated"). Use linking words (however, because, therefore) to contrast points. Conclude briefly with your personal choice.

Ejemplo: It depends on the neighbour's trustworthiness; if they are reliable I would consider it. However, because many people today are quite private and we often don't know our neighbours well, I personally prefer not to leave my keys with them.

× I'd like to say no 'cause, you know, bring a lot of kids with yourself.

✓ I'd like to say no because, you know, bringing a lot of keys with you is inconvenient.

The speaker used 'kids' instead of 'keys' (word choice) and 'yourself' incorrectly after 'with' (pronoun form). Also sentence structure lacked a verb; changing to 'bringing a lot of keys with you is inconvenient' corrects pronoun use and provides a proper verb structure. Suggestion: use the object pronoun 'you' after 'with' and the correct noun 'keys', and include a gerund phrase as the subject.

× It's kind of troublesome and it's really heavy and sometimes I just bring a small bag with me so there's nothing volume for my kids.

✓ It's kind of troublesome and it's really heavy, so sometimes I just bring a small bag and there's not much room for my keys.

The phrase 'nothing volume' is incorrect; use 'not much room' or 'no space'. 'Kids' is again incorrect word choice for 'keys'. 'Bring a small bag with me' is acceptable but combining clauses with 'so' improves flow. Suggestion: replace incorrect noun and use 'room' or 'space' to describe capacity.

× And, you know, PE.

✓ Also, you know, people nowadays use smart locks.

'PE' is unclear and likely a mispronunciation or typo; replace with a clear phrase. The original fragment lacks meaning and a verb. Suggestion: use a full clause to convey the idea.

× Nowadays people choose to use smart lock.

✓ Nowadays people choose to use smart locks.

'Smart lock' should be plural or use an article ('a smart lock') when speaking generally use plural 'smart locks'. Suggestion: use plural for general statements about technology.

× You just need to put your fingerprints or Face ID to unlock.

✓ You just need to use your fingerprint or Face ID to unlock.

'Put your fingerprints' is unnatural; collocate 'use your fingerprint' or 'place your finger' for fingerprint scanners. Also 'Face ID' is singular; use 'your fingerprint' (singular) or 'your fingerprints' if scanning multiple. Suggestion: use 'use' with biometric methods.

× Yes I I have and I still remember clearly when I was a kid I lost my kids after I back to home my mom scolded me heavily and after thought I could never lose them anymore.

✓ Yes, I have. I still remember clearly that when I was a child I lost my keys; after I came back home my mom scolded me heavily and after that I decided I would never lose them again.

Multiple tense and word choice errors: 'kids' should be 'keys'; 'after I back to home' should be 'after I came back home' (past tense); 'after thought I could never lose them anymore' is ungrammatical — use 'after that I decided I would never lose them again'. Suggestion: use consistent past tense for past events and correct noun choice.

× Nope, because as I said before, some people choose to use smart lock, so do I.

✓ No, because as I said before, some people choose to use smart locks, and so do I.

'Nope' is informal but acceptable; main issues: 'smart lock' should be plural or 'a smart lock' and 'so do I' should be connected with 'and'. Suggestion: use plural for general statements and join clauses properly.

× So I just need to put my fingerprints in the I can unlock my door.

✓ So I just need to use my fingerprint and I can unlock my door.

Original has missing words and wrong preposition 'in the'. Use 'use my fingerprint' or 'place my finger on the sensor' and connect clauses with 'and'. Suggestion: write complete clauses and correct prepositions.

× So this kind of things have never happened on me right now.

✓ So these kinds of things have never happened to me.

'This kind of things' is ungrammatical; use 'these kinds of things' or 'this kind of thing'. 'Happened on me' is wrong preposition; use 'happened to me'. 'Right now' is unnecessary when speaking about experience to date. Suggestion: match 'this/these' with singular/plural and use correct preposition 'to'.

× Well I think it depends, if your neighbor is a reliable or dependable person then the answer is absolutely yes.

✓ Well, I think it depends. If your neighbor is a reliable and dependable person, then the answer is absolutely yes.

Use 'reliable and dependable' as coordinate adjectives connected by 'and' rather than 'or' to emphasize both qualities. Also add commas and split into two sentences for clarity. Suggestion: use coordinating conjunctions when listing similar adjectives.

× But who knows. And nowadays people are get isolated from others.

✓ But who knows. And nowadays people are getting isolated from others.

'Are get isolated' is incorrect: use present continuous 'are getting isolated' to describe an ongoing trend. Suggestion: use correct auxiliary 'be' + present participle for progressive aspect.

× You know we just live in the same building but never talk to each other, so I guess I would not.

✓ You know, we just live in the same building but never talk to each other, so I guess I would not leave my keys with a neighbor.

'I would not' is incomplete; needs object or verb phrase. Clarify by adding 'leave my keys with a neighbor'. Suggestion: complete the clause to express the intended meaning.
