Library— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and organize your response: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition and unnecessary fillers (e.g. "well, well", "like this"). Use linking words such as "because" or "so" correctly, and correct small grammar issues ("on weekends", "I have extra lessons").

Exemplo: I often go to the library on weekends because I’m at school during weekdays and have extra lessons. I usually spend two to three hours there reading English books and novels, which helps me improve my language skills.

Sugestão: Start with a direct answer (topic sentence) and give specific activities. Remove filler words ("uh", "like these things") and avoid repeating the same idea. Use linking words such as "and" or "also" to connect details. Be specific about types of books and what you do (read, take notes, study).

Exemplo: I usually read and take notes in the library. For example, I often read psychology books to learn about human behavior, and I also study English grammar and vocabulary by reading novels and making vocabulary lists.

Sugestão: Answer directly and briefly: give a clear past-tense statement and one or two reasons with specific details. Avoid fillers and unclear phrases. Correct grammar ("I loved only playing", "I couldn’t read books well then").

Exemplo: No, I didn’t go to the library much when I was a child because I preferred playing outside and found reading boring. I also hadn’t developed good reading habits at that age.

Sugestão: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with specific reasons and an example. Avoid vague or contradictory phrases ("it depends" then "they don't"). Use proper expressions: "In my country" instead of "in Chinese". Limit fillers and be precise about how phones affect library use.

Exemplo: I think it depends on the child, but many Chinese kids don’t visit libraries often because they spend a lot of time on phones and online resources. For instance, students often use apps for studying and reading instead of borrowing physical books.

× 'Well, well as I love reading the books, I often go to the library especially in the weekends because in other times I will be at school and I have extra lessons and I love going to the library for reading books like English or other like this.'

✓ 'Well, as I love reading books, I often go to the library, especially on weekends, because at other times I am at school and I have extra lessons, and I love going to the library to read books such as English and similar subjects.'

'Plural nouns: "the books" and "the weekends" are incorrect general references. Use plural without the definite article for general activities: "reading books". Use "on weekends" not "in the weekends". Also tidy articles and prepositions: "at other times" and "to read books such as...'.'

× 'Well, uh, as I don't have any person to go to the library with me, I always go to the library with myself and I love reading the books, which is, uh, related to the psychology or like these things.'

✓ 'Well, as I don't have anyone to go to the library with, I always go by myself and I love reading books related to psychology or similar subjects.'

'Prepositions and pronouns: "any person to go to the library with me" is awkward; use "anyone to go to the library with". "with myself" is incorrect; use "by myself". Also remove the definite article in "reading books" and use "related to psychology" (no article before disciplines).'

× 'Uh, and in the library, uh, I often read, uh, lots of books connected to the English.'

✓ 'In the library I often read many books related to English.'

'Count/quantity wording: "lots of books" is acceptable but can be more natural as "many books"; "connected to the English" is incorrect because "English" as a subject does not need a definite article; use "related to English".'

× 'Uh, definitely no, because, uh, when I was a kid I loved to only playing and other like these things.'

✓ 'No, definitely not, because when I was a kid I only liked playing and other similar activities.'

'Past tense and verb form: "loved to only playing" mixes infinitive and gerund incorrectly and misplaces adverb. Use past tense verb "liked" followed by gerund "playing" and place "only" before the verb phrase: "only liked playing" or "only liked to play". Also change "other like these things" to "other similar activities".'

× 'Umm reading books, uh, for me when I was a kid wasn't that interesting thing and I just even can't read the book when I was.'

✓ 'Reading books, for me when I was a kid, wasn't very interesting and I couldn't even read books then.'

'Verb forms and tense consistency: "wasn't that interesting thing" is ungrammatical; use "wasn't very interesting". "I just even can't read the book when I was" mixes present and past; use past modal "couldn't" and past time marker "then". The error involves incorrect verb form (past participle/confusion with modal ability in past).'

× 'Uh, from my point of view, it all depends on the children's preferences.'

✓ 'From my point of view, it all depends on children's preferences.'

'Article usage and noun phrase: "the children's preferences" can be acceptable but here the general plural noun without the definite article is more natural: "children's preferences". This is mainly article/usage; tense is fine but corrected to match generalization.'

× 'And, uh, in Chinese, it's really hard to, uh, study in my opinion.'

✓ 'And, in China, I think it is really hard to study.'

'Preposition/location: "in Chinese" incorrectly uses the adjective for the country; use the noun "in China" to refer to the country. Also simplify word order: "I think it is really hard to study."'

× 'And, but I think they don't go to the library often because everything is connected to the phone.'

✓ 'But I think they don't go to the library often because everything is connected to phones.'

'Sentence structure and agreement: Starting with "And, but" is redundant; choose one conjunction such as "But". "connected to the phone" is too specific and singular; use plural "phones" to express general idea. This fixes structure and noun agreement.'

× 'Umm, uh, like this century.'

✓ 'This is common in this century.'

'Fragment sentence: "like this century" is a fragment and lacks a verb. Provide a complete clause such as "This is common in this century" or attach it to the previous sentence to show the idea clearly.'
