Holidays— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is generally clear but can be improved by using more natural phrasing and avoiding redundancy. For example, instead of "Doing that whole week," you can say "During that week." Also, try to use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly, such as "For instance" or "Moreover." Additionally, be careful with grammar, e.g., "Beijing famous sightseeing" should be "Beijing's famous sights."

Ejemplo: I spent a week in Beijing during my last holiday. During that time, I visited many of Beijing's famous sights. For instance, I explored the Forbidden City, which was the emperor's residence, and I also climbed the Great Wall. The Great Wall is incredibly long and impressive, and it amazed me how people built such a massive structure.

Sugerencia: Your answer addresses the question but can be more concise and natural. Avoid repeating similar ideas and improve grammar, e.g., "having holiday can make us to relax" should be "having holidays helps us relax." Use linking words like "because" to explain reasons clearly.

Ejemplo: Yes, I like holidays because they help me relax and recharge. Nowadays, work can be very demanding and stressful, so taking a break allows me to regain energy and focus when I return to work.

Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant but can be improved by using more natural expressions and clearer sentence structures. For example, say "Hong Kong is a city that values Christmas a lot." Also, avoid repeating similar ideas and use linking words like "because" to explain your preference.

Ejemplo: My favourite public holiday is Christmas because I live in Hong Kong, where people celebrate it enthusiastically. During Christmas time, shopping malls are beautifully decorated, creating a festive and romantic atmosphere that I really enjoy.

Sugerencia: Your answer is good but can be more concise and natural. Avoid repeating "sometimes" multiple times. Also, improve grammar, e.g., "take rest" should be "rest." Use linking words like "or" and "depending on" to connect ideas smoothly.

Ejemplo: On holidays, I usually either travel to a different city, visit my grandparents in my hometown, or simply rest at home, depending on how I feel at the time.

Sugerencia: Your answer has good ideas but needs clearer expression and grammar correction. For example, "I got a very demanding job" should be "I have a very demanding job." Also, the last sentence is unclear and incomplete. Try to be more specific and use linking words like "because" and "such as."

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy spending my days at home because my job is very demanding and tiring. On my days off, I like to relax and recharge by doing activities I enjoy, such as cooking, exercising, and writing.

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear but can be improved by using more natural expressions and correcting grammar, e.g., "working schedules is" should be "working schedule is." Also, avoid informal phrases like "chill and lay down" in formal speaking; instead, say "relax and rest."

Ejemplo: I prefer a leisurely holiday because my job is very demanding and my work schedule is packed. During holidays, I like to relax and rest so that I can recharge and maintain a good balance before returning to work.

Sugerencia: Your answer is thoughtful and relevant but can be more fluent by using linking words like "however" and improving sentence structure. For example, "I prefer an exciting holiday" instead of "I prefer to be exciting." Also, avoid repeating "come to" multiple times.

Ejemplo: It really depends on the situation. For a long holiday, I prefer an exciting one because I can travel to a new city and explore it. However, for a short holiday of one or two days, I prefer a peaceful break to relax.

× Doing that whole week, I visited a lot of Beijing famous sightseeing.

✓ During that whole week, I visited a lot of famous sightseeing spots in Beijing.

The phrase 'Doing that whole week' is incorrect; 'During that whole week' is the proper prepositional phrase to indicate the time period. Also, 'Beijing famous sightseeing' is awkward; it should be 'famous sightseeing spots in Beijing' to be grammatically correct and clear.

× I visited a lot of Beijing famous sightseeing.

✓ I visited a lot of famous sightseeing spots in Beijing.

The word 'sightseeing' is uncountable and cannot be preceded by 'a lot of' without a countable noun. Adding 'spots' makes it countable and corrects the plural usage.

× It's very long and huge and made you feel impressed about how people built it.

✓ It's very long and huge and makes you feel impressed about how people built it.

The verb 'made' is past tense, but the sentence is describing a general fact, so present tense 'makes' is appropriate. Also, 'feel impressed about' is awkward; 'feel impressed by' would be better, but the correction focuses on verb tense here.

× So having holiday can make us to relax and take a break so we can have more energy to continue to work.

✓ So having a holiday can help us relax and take a break so we can have more energy to continue working.

The phrase 'make us to relax' is incorrect; after 'make', the base verb without 'to' should be used ('make us relax'). Also, 'having holiday' should be 'having a holiday'. 'Continue to work' is acceptable but 'continue working' is more natural.

× I love Christmas holiday the most since I'm living in Hong Kong and Hong Kong is a city which value the Christmas a lot.

✓ I love the Christmas holiday the most since I live in Hong Kong and Hong Kong is a city which values Christmas a lot.

'Christmas holiday' should be preceded by 'the' as it refers to a specific holiday. 'Value the Christmas' is incorrect; 'values Christmas' is correct without 'the'. Also, 'I'm living' is better as 'I live' for habitual action.

× Hong Kong is a city which value the Christmas a lot.

✓ Hong Kong is a city which values Christmas a lot.

The verb 'value' must agree with the singular subject 'city', so it should be 'values'. Also, 'the Christmas' is incorrect; 'Christmas' does not need 'the'.

× It can always give you that atmosphere, that romantic vibe you enjoy a lot.

✓ It can always give you that atmosphere, that romantic vibe which you enjoy a lot.

The sentence is missing a relative pronoun 'which' to connect the clause properly. Adding 'which' improves clarity and grammatical correctness.

× Normally on holidays I sometimes choose to travel to a different city or sometimes I go back to my hometown to visit my grandparents, or sometime I just take rest at home.

✓ Normally on holidays, I sometimes choose to travel to a different city or sometimes I go back to my hometown to visit my grandparents, or sometimes I just rest at home.

The word 'sometime' should be 'sometimes' to indicate frequency. Also, 'take rest' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'rest' or 'take a rest'.

× It really depends on how I felt at that moment.

✓ It really depends on how I feel at that moment.

The sentence is in present tense context, so 'felt' (past tense) should be 'feel' (present tense) to maintain consistency.

× Since nowadays I got a very demanding job, it's very hard for me to get recharged.

✓ Since nowadays I have a very demanding job, it's very hard for me to recharge.

'Got' is informal and incorrect here; 'have' is correct for possession. Also, 'get recharged' is awkward; 'recharge' as a verb is better.

× So when it comes to my day off, I would just probably stay at home and recharge myself by doing a lot of things that I feel satisfied.

✓ So when it comes to my day off, I would probably just stay at home and recharge myself by doing a lot of things that satisfy me.

'I feel satisfied' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'things that satisfy me' to indicate the things cause satisfaction.

× For example, during exercise I'll do some cooking, I'll do some writing as.

✓ For example, during my free time, I'll do some cooking or some writing.

The phrase 'during exercise' is unclear and likely incorrect; 'during my free time' or 'when relaxing' is better. Also, 'as' at the end is incomplete and should be removed or replaced with 'or some writing'.

× I prefer a leisurely holiday since I have a very demanding job and my working schedules is already very packed.

✓ I prefer a leisurely holiday since I have a very demanding job and my working schedule is already very packed.

'Schedules' is plural but 'is' is singular; either use 'schedule is' or 'schedules are'. Here, 'schedule is' is more appropriate.

× So when it comes to holiday I prefer to chill and lay down and just do nothing to recharge myself so I can have energy and keep myself balanced to go back to work.

✓ So when it comes to holidays, I prefer to chill, lie down, and just do nothing to recharge myself so I can have energy and keep myself balanced to go back to work.

'Lay down' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'lie down' when referring to reclining oneself. Also, 'holiday' should be plural 'holidays' in this context.

× I think really depends on the situation.

✓ I think it really depends on the situation.

The sentence is missing the subject 'it' after 'think', which is necessary for grammatical correctness.

× When it comes to a long period of holiday, I prefer to be exciting so I can get ready and go travelling into a new city and explore that city.

✓ When it comes to a long period of holiday, I prefer to be excited so I can get ready and go travelling to a new city and explore it.

'Prefer to be exciting' is incorrect; the speaker should be 'excited'. Also, 'go travelling into a new city' should be 'go travelling to a new city'. 'Explore that city' can be simplified to 'explore it'.
