Writing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be direct and clear: start with a topic sentence answering the question, then give one or two supporting details. Use correct verb forms and simpler phrasing. Avoid filler words (umm, like). Organize ideas with a linking word (however, now).

Ví dụ: No, I don't write much anymore. I type more often because I now use a computer for most tasks, whereas I wrote a lot when I was a student. However, I still write short notes by hand occasionally.

Gợi ý: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then give a specific reason and an example. Use proper collocations (take notes, write in my notebook) and a linking word (because, so).

Ví dụ: I mostly like to take notes when I'm studying or attending meetings because it helps me remember important points. For example, I write summaries and action items in my notebook so I can review them later.

Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion first, then explain why with a specific detail. Use correct tense and eliminate repetition. Use a linking phrase (because, since) to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: I don't think my notes change much because they are factual summaries from class lectures. Since they record facts and formulas, I rarely modify them afterwards.

Gợi ý: State your preference clearly, then contrast with the alternative using linking words (but, although) and give a concrete reason. Use correct grammar and concise sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember information better, but typing is more convenient for editing and sharing documents. For instance, I handwrite study notes but type reports for work.

Gợi ý: Answer frequency clearly (never, rarely, sometimes, often), then explain with a reason and one example. Avoid unclear phrasing and tense errors. Use linking words (because, so) to show cause.

Ví dụ: I rarely keep a diary these days because I don't have time. I planned to write daily, but usually I only jot down important events in a notebook once or twice a month.

Gợi ý: Begin with a direct statement of the methods you use, then give specific functions and an example. Use clear vocabulary (planner, calendar app, track tasks) and avoid vague phrases. Connect ideas with linking words (for example, also).

Ví dụ: I use a paper planner and a color-coded calendar app to track tasks and events. For example, I mark deadlines in red and special occasions in blue so I can quickly see what's important that day.

× This day I do not like a lot.

✓ These days I don't like writing much.

Incorrect use of time expression and verb form. 'This day' should be 'these days' for current habitual actions (plural), and 'do not like a lot' is unnatural; use 'don't like writing much' to match the present habitual tense and collocation.

× I type more than I write.

✓ I type more than I write.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable as present simple to describe habitual action. No change needed; included for completeness.

× Umm, I used to be like love when I was a student,

✓ Umm, I used to love writing when I was a student,

Incorrect verb construction 'used to be like love'. Use 'used to' + base verb for past habit: 'used to love'. Add 'writing' to clarify the object.

× but right now I use the computer to tie the letters.

✓ but right now I use the computer to type letters.

Typo and verb choice: 'tie' is incorrect; should be 'type'. Also omit 'the' before 'letters' when speaking generally.

× I usually take note when I'm studying and meeting,

✓ I usually take notes when I'm studying and in meetings,

Use plural 'notes' for multiple entries. 'Meeting' should be plural or preceded by a preposition: 'in meetings'. Gerund forms are okay but 'take notes' is the correct collocation.

× so I like to conclude it down on my notebook.

✓ so I like to write them down in my notebook.

Wrong verb 'conclude' and prepositions. Use 'write them down' for recording notes and 'in my notebook' instead of 'on my notebook'. Use 'them' to refer to 'notes'.

× I don't think that is changed much because I usually take the note from the class.

✓ I don't think that it has changed much because I usually take notes in class.

Incorrect passive/tense 'is changed' should be present perfect 'has changed' for change over time. Use 'it' for the subject and 'take notes in class' is the correct collocation; 'from the class' is awkward.

× So did it a fact it is not changed much I think.

✓ So, in fact, it hasn't changed much, I think.

Word order and tense issues. Reorder to 'in fact' and use present perfect 'hasn't changed' to describe change up to now. Add commas for clarity.

× I do prefer handwriting more than typing,

✓ I prefer handwriting to typing,

Redundant 'do' and incorrect comparative structure. Use 'prefer A to B' or 'prefer A over B'. 'Prefer handwriting to typing' is concise and correct.

× but right now umm typing is more convenient and you can write it down and then like in the book notebook can change is from handwriting to a typing.

✓ but right now typing is more convenient: you can write quickly, and notes in a notebook can be converted from handwriting to digital text.

Run-on sentence, word order, and awkward phrasing. 'Write it down' is vague; specify 'write quickly'. 'Book notebook' redundant. 'Can change is from handwriting to a typing' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'can be converted from handwriting to digital text'.

× I think this convenient.

✓ I think this is convenient.

Missing verb 'is' needed to form the sentence. Also 'this' is acceptable; ensure verb 'is' is present.

× I don't do is much this day,

✓ I don't do it much these days,

Wrong pronoun and time expression. Use 'it' to refer back to diary-keeping. 'These days' is the correct time expression for current habits.

× I just recall that was my plan,

✓ I just remember that was my plan,

'Recall' is formal and tense mismatch; 'remember' fits conversational context. 'Was my plan' is acceptable if referring to past intention.

× so I didn't write about how was my day,

✓ so I didn't write about how my day was,

Word order in indirect question is wrong. Use statement order 'how my day was' after 'about'.

× but it is right the thing that what I have to do in the book.

✓ but it's the right place to write what I have to do in the book.

Awkward phrasing and word order. Clarify meaning: 'right place' and 'to write what I have to do' make the sentence grammatical and clear.

× Umm I use the planner and I use the color panel app so I can track all the card worth and activity that I have to do sometime

✓ I use a planner and the Color Plan app so I can track all the tasks and activities I have to do sometimes,

Use articles 'a' and correct app name capitalization. 'Card worth' is unclear; likely 'tasks' or 'cards'—changed to 'tasks'. 'Sometime' should be 'sometimes'. Use parallel nouns 'tasks and activities'.

× if a special occasions I will note or take no doubt that was happened in the day.

✓ and on special occasions I will note or record anything that happened during the day.

Preposition and article errors: 'if a special occasions' should be 'on special occasions'. 'Take no doubt' is incorrect; use 'note' or 'record'. Use 'that happened during the day' for correct tense and preposition.
