List— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be concise and avoid filler words (uh, um). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason and an example. Use correct tense and simple linking words (because, so). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I always make a shopping list because it helps me remember everything I need. For example, last week I saved time and avoided buying duplicates by checking items off my list.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and clearly. State whether you make lists for work and give one brief reason with a linking word (but, however). Avoid repeating the same idea and correct grammar (use present tense for habitual actions).

Ví dụ: I don't usually make lists for work because my tasks change a lot during the day. However, I sometimes write short to-do notes when I have many small tasks to complete.

Gợi ý: Give a clear, grammatically correct reason and support it with a brief explanation or example. Use linking phrases (for example, because) and avoid unclear references. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Some people dislike making lists because they prefer to keep information in their heads or use phone apps. For example, younger people often rely on smartphone reminders instead of written lists.

Gợi ý: State your preference clearly, use correct verbs and a linking word (because), and give one specific benefit. Remove fillers and keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer making lists on my phone because it's more convenient and synced across my devices. For instance, I can check my list while shopping without carrying an extra paper.

× Of course, uh, I, uh, make a list when I, uh, went to shop because list is of course, uh, it's important.

✓ Of course, I make a list when I go shopping because a list is important.

The original mixes past tense 'went' with present habitual 'make'. Use consistent present simple for habitual actions: 'I make a list when I go shopping'. Also use the noun phrase 'a list' and the gerund form 'go shopping' instead of 'went to shop'. Remove filler words for clarity.

× I, uh, make a list when I, uh, went to shop because list is of course, uh, it's important.

✓ Of course, I make a list when I go shopping because a list is important.

The noun 'list' requires an article. Use 'a list' for a non-specific singular noun. Also correct verb tense and verb form as explained earlier.

× Umm, when I was at work, I think it uh, list is not important.

✓ When I am at work, I don't think a list is important.

The speaker shifts between past and present. If describing general belief at work use present simple: 'When I am at work, I don't think a list is important.' Also add the article 'a' and use negative auxiliary 'don't' with base verb 'think'.

× Umm, in my opinion, list all, uh, that's time important when you buy some, uh, things or uh, went some shopping malls.

✓ In my opinion, lists are important when you buy things or go to shopping malls.

'List all' is unclear; likely plural 'lists' is intended. Use plural form 'lists are' for general statements. Change 'went some shopping malls' to 'go to shopping malls' (present simple for general truth) and remove unnecessary quantifier 'some' before 'things'.

× That's why list is important.

✓ That's why a list is important.

Singular noun needs an article 'a'. If using third-person singular verb, ensure subject-verb agreement; here article correction suffices.

× Some people don't like list because in this time, uh, many people store, uh, list, uh, their list to make a mobile phone.

✓ Some people don't like lists because nowadays many people store their lists on their mobile phones.

Use plural 'lists' for generalization. 'In this time' is unnatural; use 'nowadays'. Use preposition 'on' with 'mobile phones' and place possessive 'their' before 'lists'. Also use plural 'phones' to match 'many people'.

× That's why, uh, list, uh, some people doesn't like and uh, uh, right now, always we knowing our knowledge.

✓ That's why some people don't like lists, and nowadays we always have information on hand.

Use 'don't' for plural subject 'people' (not 'doesn't'). 'Always we knowing our knowledge' is ungrammatical; replace with 'we always have information on hand' to express that people can access their lists or knowledge easily.

× I always pray for, uh, make a list on mobile phone because it's very, uh, easier and, umm, also it saves on our, uh, phone and, uh, when we going anywhere, it always, uh, stay with your stay with you and that's why I prefer.

✓ I always prefer to make a list on my mobile phone because it's easier, it is saved on the phone, and when we go anywhere it stays with us, so I prefer that.

'Pray for' is incorrect collocation; use 'prefer to'. Use possessive 'my mobile phone' or 'the mobile phone'. 'Saves on our phone' should be 'is saved on the phone'. Use base form 'go' after 'when we', not 'going'. 'Stay with your stay with you' is redundant; use 'stays with us'. Maintain consistent pronouns and correct verb forms.
