Patience— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and confident. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No/I think so), avoid hesitation fillers (uh, um, repetition), and add one specific brief example with linking words. Keep within 2–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I consider myself a patient person. For example, when I encounter a long queue and someone ahead has a problem, I usually stay calm and wait without complaining because I understand mistakes happen.

Sugestão: Give a clear topic sentence describing the trigger, remove hesitations, and explain why with a short reason using a linking word (because/when). Provide a specific scenario to support your point.

Exemplo: I feel impatient when someone doesn't understand after I have explained several times. For instance, during group work I get frustrated because repeated misunderstandings waste time and slow down progress.

Sugestão: Answer directly and structure the response: topic sentence + one or two supporting details. Remove filler words and avoid asking rhetorical questions. Use linking words (so, therefore) to connect ideas and give a concise example of planning steps.

Exemplo: I feel I need to prepare myself mentally and practically when a task will take a long time. Therefore I make a detailed plan outlining the steps, materials I need, and a timetable to stay focused and avoid burnout.

Sugestão: Start with a clear statement about your job role and its demands, avoid filler sounds, and give a specific example of a typical situation showing patience. Use linking words like because or for example to clarify.

Exemplo: Yes. As a student support officer at a university, I regularly communicated with students who had complex academic issues. For example, I often spent extra time explaining degree requirements patiently because many students found the rules confusing.

Sugestão: Give a concise comparison and include a specific reason or example explaining how you became more patient. Remove hesitations and repeat words; use linking words like because or since to make your answer coherent.

Exemplo: Yes, I am more patient now than in my early 20s because I have learned to stay calm and understand others' perspectives. For instance, I now take time to listen before responding, which helps me manage stressful situations better.

× It's hard to tell, but I hope that I, I hope that I am a patient person.

✓ It's hard to tell, but I hope that I am a patient person.

Repetition 'I, I hope that I' is a disfluency rather than a grammatical tense error. Keep single 'I hope that I am' to maintain present tense and clarity.

× I try, uh, to, uh, understand others or for uh, for example, if there is a long queue and someone is having a problem, I tend not to complain about it.

✓ I try to understand others; for example, if there is a long queue and someone is having a problem, I tend not to complain about it.

Remove redundant prepositions and filler words and use a semicolon or conjunction for clarity. 'To understand others' is correct; 'for example' should introduce the example directly.

× Umm, usually I am a patient when it, uh, it delays or uh, is related to the services.

✓ Usually I am patient when there are delays or when it is related to services.

'A patient' is incorrect; 'patient' is an adjective here. Use plural 'delays' for general situations and rephrase 'related to services' for naturalness.

× But when I become a patient, if the person doesn't understand even I explain a lot of times.

✓ But I become impatient when the person doesn't understand even after I explain many times.

Use adjective 'impatient' (opposite of patient). Order and connectors: use 'even after I explain many times' to indicate repeated attempts; 'a lot of times' is informal—'many times' is clearer.

× Uh, I feel, I feel I have to prepare myself first.

✓ I feel I have to prepare myself first.

Remove repetition 'I feel, I feel' which is a disfluency. Present tense 'have to prepare' is correct.

× So for, uh, so I make a plan first, uh, like really detailed plan.

✓ So I make a detailed plan first.

Eliminate redundant words ('for, uh, so') and use correct article before 'detailed plan' if singular: 'a detailed plan' or simply 'a detailed plan first.' Here 'a' included already; simplified to natural word order.

× What I, what should I do, what should I prepare and how should I do it?

✓ What should I do, what should I prepare, and how should I do it?

Remove repeated fragment 'What I,' which is a disfluency. Use correct question word order for clarity.

× I used to work in a university as a student, UH support officer, so I had to communicate with the many type of the students who had a problem with their academic programs.

✓ I used to work at a university as a student support officer, so I had to communicate with many types of students who had problems with their academic programs.

Use 'at a university' or 'in a university' (here 'at' is natural), 'student support officer' without 'UH', remove 'the' before 'students', use 'many types of students' or 'many students of different types', and plural 'problems' to match plural students.

× So I uh, needed to be a really uh patient to explain a lot of things to them.

✓ So I needed to be really patient to explain many things to them.

'Patient' is an adjective and does not take the article 'a' here. Replace 'a lot of things' with 'many things' for formality and clarity.

× Absolutely, yes. Compared to my, uh, compared to my early 20s, I became, uh, became more patient, uh, because I realized that I need to be more understanding, uh, and more calm.

✓ Absolutely. Compared to my early 20s, I have become more patient because I realized that I need to be more understanding and calmer.

Use present perfect 'have become' to show change from past to now. Reduce repetitions and choose parallel adjectives: 'more understanding and calmer.' 'Need to be' is present; keep tense consistency.
