Do you make a list when you shop?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Reduce hesitations and unclear phrases. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Replace vague phrase “mumbled fumble” with a clear expression (e.g. “buy unnecessary items” or “forget things”). Keep to 2–3 sentences and avoid filler words like “uh.”
Exemplo: Yes, I always make a shopping list because it helps me stay organised and prevents me from buying unnecessary items. For example, when I plan meals ahead, I list ingredients so I only buy what I need.
Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
Pontuação: 64.0Sugestão: Give a direct topic sentence and a clear result with specific details. Avoid repetition and hesitations. Use linking words (for example, because, so) to show cause and effect and specify how lists help (prioritising tasks, tracking progress). Keep to 2–3 sentences.
Exemplo: Yes, I make a daily to‑do list for my English studies because it helps me prioritise tasks and track progress. For instance, I list practising speaking for 30 minutes and reviewing vocabulary, which has helped me steadily improve my band score.

Multiple issues: unnecessary filler words removed; correction of phrase 'the things of my need' to 'the things I need' (incorrect preposition/phrase) — Grammar Problem Type ID 11: Incorrect use of prepositions; and clarity improved by replacing 'mumbled fumble' with 'confused'. Also use of auxiliary 'do' is unnecessary in simple present here — Grammar Problem Type ID 6: Present tense issue. Suggestion: Use simple present 'I make' for habitual actions and use 'I need' to express necessity; avoid fillers.
× Yes, I do make a list for my work uh, as I am learning English nowadays. So I list uh the works that I have to do in the whole day and it really helps helps me to achieve the band score I needed in.
✓ Yes, I make a list for my work because I am learning English nowadays. So I list the tasks that I have to do during the day and it really helps me to achieve the band score I need.
Present tense and word choice issues. Change 'do make' to 'make' for habitual action (Grammar Problem Type ID 6). Replace 'the works' with 'the tasks' (incorrect noun choice — falls under 13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs but mainly word choice). 'In the whole day' corrected to 'during the day' (Grammar Problem Type ID 11: Incorrect use of prepositions). 'I needed in' to 'I need' for correct present intention (Grammar Problem Type ID 6). Also remove duplicate 'helps' and fillers. Suggestion: Use 'tasks' for work items and simple present 'I need' when referring to current goals.
× Uh, some people don't like making lists because they just don't want to stick to that list. They have other responsibilities too, and they often, uh, forget about some things and, uh, they just feel, uh, so procrastinated if they won't, uh, purchase those.
✓ Some people don't like making lists because they don't want to stick to them. They have other responsibilities too, and they often forget some things and feel too procrastinated to buy them.
Plural/singular and pronoun reference: 'that list' should be 'them' to match general plural 'lists' or keep singular consistently (Grammar Problem Type ID 1: Singular and plural issue and 12: Incorrect use of pronouns). 'Forget about some things' simplified to 'forget some things' (style). 'Feel so procrastinated' is incorrect adjective use; 'procrastinated' is not used this way — use 'too procrastinated to buy them' or better 'tend to procrastinate about buying them' (Grammar Problem Type ID 13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs). 'If they won't purchase those' awkward conditional; corrected to infinitive purpose. Suggestion: Maintain number agreement and use 'procrastinate' as a verb or 'reluctant' as adjective.
× Earlier when I did not have a smartphone, I prefer I preferred making a list on paper and now that I have a phone so I prefer making a list on phone because it is a phone is something you can carry anywhere.
✓ Earlier, when I did not have a smartphone, I preferred making a list on paper, and now that I have a phone, I prefer making a list on my phone because it is something you can carry anywhere.
Tense consistency and article/pronoun issues. Use past tense 'preferred' for past habit (Grammar Problem Type ID 5: Past tense issue) and present 'prefer' for current habit (Grammar Problem Type ID 6: Present tense issue). Remove duplicated words and add article 'my' before 'phone' (Grammar Problem Type ID 22: Article errors/11: Incorrect use of prepositions). Also remove redundant 'so' and 'it is a phone is' repetition. Suggestion: Keep past and present habits in appropriate tenses and include possessive 'my phone' for clarity.
