Keys— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repeating phrases and correct small errors (e.g., "meeting" → "meet", "2 door 2 blocks away" → "two doors/blocks away").

Exemplo: I don't always carry many keys, but I usually keep my house, car and bike keys with me. However, if I'm just going to meet a friend two blocks away, I sometimes leave them at home to travel lighter.

Sugestão: Organize the answer: give a direct yes/no, then one or two clear examples. Reduce fillers and repetition, and use specific prepositions (e.g., "on the fridge" → "on top of the fridge").

Exemplo: Yes, I often lose my keys because I have ADHD. For example, I've found them on top of the fridge, between the bed covers, and under the sofa, so I now keep a bowl by the door to stop this happening.

Sugestão: Give a clear past vs present distinction. Start with a concise topic sentence (e.g., "Not anymore"), then briefly explain a past incident and the preventive action you took. Avoid filler words and unclear phrases.

Exemplo: Not anymore. I once locked myself out when I was a child, and because winters in Norway are so cold I promised myself never to do it again. Since then I always check for my keys before leaving the house.

Sugestão: Start with a clear opinion, then provide a brief reason and one specific condition or example. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "for example") and avoid repeating the same idea twice.

Exemplo: Yes, I think it's a good idea to leave a spare key with a trusted neighbour because it saves you from being stuck outside in bad weather. For example, when I forget my keys on a cold evening, I can quickly collect the spare and avoid waiting in the cold.

× 'Not always, but it's nice to have the door keys with you and the keys to the car and the bicycle.'

✓ 'Not always, but it's nice to have the house keys with you and the keys to the car and the bicycle.'

'door keys' is not idiomatic here; use 'house keys' or 'front-door key' (singular/plural choice). Also choose consistent plural 'keys' for multiple items. Suggestion: use 'house keys' for natural phrasing.'

× 'But of course not if I only meeting a friend 2 door 2 blocks away.'

✓ 'But of course not if I'm only meeting a friend two doors or two blocks away.'

Missing auxiliary 'am' for present continuous and incorrect plural noun form 'door' -> 'doors'. Numerals should be written as words in speaking transcripts corrected form. Suggestion: include the correct auxiliary and pluralize 'door' to 'doors'.'

× 'Yes, I have ADHD, so I, I, I lose my keys all the time and I find them on the strange places like on the fridge, in the bed, under the bed.'

✓ 'Yes, I have ADHD, so I lose my keys all the time and I find them in strange places like on the fridge, in the bed, under the bed.'

'on the strange places' is incorrect preposition and article use. Use 'in strange places' (no article) because 'places' is plural and general. 'On the fridge' is acceptable for something attached to fridge, but keep parallel. Suggestion: remove extra articles and filler repetitions and use 'in strange places'.'

× 'Yeah, every everywhere they're not supposed to be, I find them.'

✓ 'Yeah, everywhere they're not supposed to be, I find them.'

Redundant words 'every everywhere' incorrect; use single adverb 'everywhere'. Word order 'they're not supposed to be' is fine. Suggestion: remove repetition and unnecessary words.'

× 'It happens for once or something when I was little, but I live in Norway and it's so cold, especially if you've got it on the, if you ever get it in the winter.'

✓ 'It happened once or something when I was little, but I live in Norway and it's so cold, especially in the winter.'

Mix of present 'happens' and past 'when I was little' requires past tense 'happened'. 'If you've got it on the' is unclear and unnecessary; use 'in the winter' for seasonal reference. Suggestion: use past tense for past events and simplify the conditional.'

× 'So I, I said to myself that this is the last time and I'll never forget the keys.'

✓ 'So I told myself that this was the last time and I'd never forget the keys.'

Reported speech after past 'said' requires backshifting: present 'is' -> past 'was', future 'I'll' -> conditional 'I'd' (would) to match past narrative. Suggestion: use past-tense sequence for coherence.'

× 'Uh, so I don't lock myself out again.'

✓ 'Uh, so I didn't lock myself out again.'

Within past narrative, 'don't lock myself out again' should be past 'didn't' to maintain tense consistency describing what happened after deciding. If speaker means present habit, keep 'don't', but context indicates past action. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense in that story.'

× 'I think it's a very brilliant idea.'

✓ 'I think it's a brilliant idea.'

'Very brilliant' is redundant; 'brilliant' alone is sufficient. This is style rather than strict grammar, but reduce redundancy. Suggestion: drop 'very'.'

× 'Like I said in the other questions question, it's that if you forget your key and it's cold outside, it would be so nice to just go to the neighbor and pick it up again.'

✓ 'Like I said in the other question, if you forget your key and it's cold outside, it would be so nice to just go to the neighbor and pick it up.'

'questions question' is a repetition error; use singular 'question' since referring to one. Also 'pick it up again' is acceptable but 'pick it up' is cleaner. Suggestion: remove repeated word and simplify phrasing.'
