Relax— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and grammatically accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then give one or two specific supporting details. Correct grammar (e.g., 'exercise releases hormones that make you feel happier') and avoid unfinished thoughts. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'so' correctly.

Ejemplo: Recently I have been playing tennis at a nearby court to relax. I usually play with friends for about an hour, and I find that the physical activity helps me blow off steam because exercise releases endorphins that improve my mood.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear topic sentence and avoid repetition. Use correct verb forms and concise phrasing. Explain why you choose friends sometimes and being alone at other times with one specific example. Use linking words such as 'but' or 'also' to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: I usually relax either with friends or by myself. If I've had a busy week I prefer to be alone to recharge, but at weekends I often meet friends for a coffee or a game, which helps me feel more social.

Sugerencia: Give a clearer, more detailed opinion and explain with a specific example. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., 'loud or aggressive music' instead of 'hard instrument') and link cause and effect with words like 'because' or 'for example.' Keep it to one or two supporting sentences.

Ejemplo: Not always. I find loud or aggressive music stressful because the strong rhythm and volume make me tense; however, slow acoustic or instrumental pieces are relaxing for me and help me unwind.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and provide specific details such as frequency, duration, and why these activities help. Correct grammar (e.g., 'I usually play games or tennis') and avoid vague phrases like 'hormones' without context — say 'endorphins' or 'they lift my mood.'

Ejemplo: I usually play video games or play tennis with friends to relax. I play tennis twice a week for about an hour to stay active and I play games in the evenings for 30–60 minutes because both activities help me de-stress and lift my mood.

× Recently I went to play tennis with my friends at a nearby court.

✓ Recently I played tennis with my friends at a nearby court.

Use simple past 'played' rather than 'went to play' to sound natural when describing a recent completed activity. 'Went to play' is not wrong but 'played' is more concise and fits the question about where you went to relax.

× I believe that doing exercise can release the hormone that make you feel more happy and enjoyable, so it can reduce.

✓ I believe that exercising can release hormones that make you feel happier and more relaxed, so it can reduce stress.

Multiple issues: 'doing exercise' is better as the gerund 'exercising'; 'the hormone' should be plural 'hormones' because exercise releases several hormones; verb agreement 'make' must match plural subject 'hormones' (make is correct for plural); 'more happy' should be 'happier'; 'enjoyable' is not appropriate here—use 'more relaxed' or 'relaxed'; the sentence ends incomplete—add 'stress' to complete meaning.

× I usually relax with my friends or even living alone because I think I am an introvert.

✓ I usually relax with my friends or even alone because I think I am an introvert.

Wrong form 'living alone' after 'or' is inconsistent; use 'alone' (adverb) to parallel 'with my friends'. 'Even alone' is more natural in this context.

× Like I can fully cover by myself when I have when I have had a chaotic week days.

✓ I can fully recover by myself when I have had a chaotic week.

The sentence has repetition 'when I have when I have had' and wrong word 'cover' instead of 'recover'. 'Week days' is incorrect here; use 'a chaotic week' or 'a few chaotic days'. Remove 'Like' at the start in formal answers. Correct tense: present perfect 'have had' is appropriate to refer to a recently completed chaotic week.

× I don't think so, because when I listen to music, like some music that plays hard instrument, I feel more stressed.

✓ I don't think so, because when I listen to music with heavy instrumentation I feel more stressed.

Awkward phrase 'plays hard instrument' should be 'with heavy instrumentation' or 'with loud, intense instruments'. Keep present simple 'listen' and 'feel' for general statements. This corrects collocation and word choice.

× I usually do either playing games or playing tennis with my friends because I think these activities can release the hormones that make people happy.

✓ I usually either play games or play tennis with my friends because I think these activities can release hormones that make people happy.

After 'do either' use base verb form 'play' rather than gerund 'playing'. Also 'the hormones' should be 'hormones' (no article) and keep present simple 'play' for habitual actions.
