List— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and clear. Start with a direct topic sentence (Yes/No and frequency), then give one specific reason and one short example. Avoid hesitations and redundant phrases; correct grammar (e.g. “take a list” → “make a list”) and pronouns (“if anyone asks me”) will make your answer more natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I usually don’t make a shopping list because I have a good memory. However, if someone asks me to pick something up for them, I make a quick list on my phone so I don’t forget. For example, last week a friend asked me to buy milk and bread, so I noted them to be sure I remembered.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence and one reason with a short example. Fix grammar and word choice (e.g. “I’m not the kind of person who makes lists”). Explain whether the approach is effective or not in one sentence using linking words like “because” or “so”.

Ví dụ: No, I’m not the kind of person who makes lists for work because I prefer to complete tasks immediately. This usually works for me since I finish things right away, but sometimes I forget lower-priority tasks, so I’m trying to use a simple checklist on my phone.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear topic sentence and one or two specific reasons, using linking words (for example, “because”, “so”, “however”). Avoid vague phrases like “depends to the person” and correct collocations (e.g. “make a list takes time”).

Ví dụ: Some people dislike making lists because they think it wastes time and interrupts their workflow. For example, a busy person might prefer to act immediately rather than stop to write things down, so they avoid lists to save time.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer first (phone or paper), then provide two clear reasons with linking words. Fix unclear phrasing and grammar (e.g. “living in modern era” unnecessary; “I prefer using my phone because…”). Keep it concise and limit to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer making lists on my phone because it’s convenient and I always have it with me. Also, phone notes are easy to edit and I don’t need a pen or paper, which makes them more reliable when I’m out shopping.

× 'Most of the time I think that I am, I have a good memory, so I don't need to take any list.'

✓ 'Most of the time I think I have a good memory, so I don't need to make a list.'

'a list' is the correct indefinite article plus singular noun; 'take a list' is unnatural here — use 'make a list' or 'write a list'. Also remove the unnecessary comma and extra 'am'. Suggestion: say "Most of the time I think I have a good memory, so I don't need to make a list."

× 'But if I anyone or if other person told me to bring something for them that time I try to make some list because like it would be a physical proof or it would be a physical evidence if I forgot anything that I can recall.'

✓ 'But if someone else asked me to bring something for them, I try to make a list because it serves as physical evidence so I can remember if I forgot anything.'

'I anyone' and 'other person' are incorrect pronoun usages; use 'someone else' or 'another person'. Use past tense 'asked' for reported request. 'some list' is unnatural; use 'a list'. 'physical proof'/'physical evidence' — use 'physical evidence' or 'a reminder'. Reorder clause for clarity.

× 'So yeah, it depends on the.'

✓ 'So yeah, it depends on the situation.'

'depends on the' is an incomplete sentence fragment. Add the noun 'situation' or 'context' to complete the idea.

× 'Not like to be honest, I'm not that kind of person who try to make some list.'

✓ 'Not really; to be honest, I'm not the kind of person who tries to make lists.'

'that kind of person' should be followed by 'who tries' (third-person singular) and 'make lists' (plural or uncountable) is more natural than 'make some list'. Also 'Not like' is corrected to 'Not really' for idiomatic usage.

× 'Whenever any kind of works comes to me, I try to do that work as soon as possible.'

✓ 'Whenever any kind of work comes to me, I try to do it as soon as possible.'

'works' is incorrect; use uncountable 'work'. 'do that work' can be more smoothly 'do it'. Subject-verb agreement with 'work comes' is correct when singular.

× 'Like if I don't do the work or keep the work away the time, it's really mean to forgot this work.'

✓ 'If I don't do the work or put it off, I will likely forget it.'

'keep the work away the time' is ungrammatical; use 'put it off' or 'delay it'. 'it's really mean to forgot' mixes tenses and wrong verb form — use 'I will likely forget it' or 'I tend to forget it.' Use base form 'forget' after 'will'.

× 'So I I try to do work as.'

✓ 'So I try to do the work right away.'

'I I' is a repetition and the sentence is incomplete. Complete the thought with 'the work' and a phrase like 'right away' or 'as soon as possible.'

× 'It depends to the person who thinks that.'

✓ 'It depends on the person who thinks that.'

'depends on' is the correct prepositional verb; 'depends to' is incorrect. Use 'depends on' followed by the noun phrase.

× 'Like sometimes some people believe that if they try to make some list that time it will take more time or it will eat their valuable time.'

✓ 'Sometimes people believe that making a list will take more time or eat up their valuable time.'

Avoid redundant words 'Like sometimes some'. Use gerund 'making a list' rather than 'try to make some list that time'. 'eat their valuable time' is improved to 'eat up their valuable time.' Simplify for naturalness.

× 'So because due to time saving, they often don't make any kind of list.'

✓ 'Because of time savings, they often don't make any kind of list.'

'due to' and 'because' are redundant together; use one. 'time saving' should be 'time savings' or 'saving time'. Better: 'To save time, they often don't make lists.'

× 'Most of the time lover living in modern era, if I have the chance to take notes in my mobile phone so why not I don't use it like I don't have.'

✓ 'Most of the time, living in the modern era, if I have the chance I use my mobile phone to take notes.'

'lover living' is incorrect; likely 'living in the modern era'. The clause order and 'so why not I don't use it like I don't have' is ungrammatical. Simplify to 'if I have the chance I use my mobile phone to take notes.'

× 'Like whenever I if I am taking notes through the physical paper the time it sometimes I can't have access the papers or sometimes I don't have any pen.'

✓ 'When I take notes on paper, sometimes I do not have access to the papers or I don't have a pen.'

Remove redundant words and fix verb forms: 'if I am taking' → 'when I take'. Use 'access to the papers' (add 'to') and 'a pen' (article). Rearrange for clarity.

× 'So in the mobile phone I have easily save those documents.'

✓ 'So on my mobile phone I can easily save those documents.'

'in the mobile phone' should be 'on my mobile phone'. 'I have easily save' mixes auxiliaries — use 'I can easily save' or 'I easily save'.
