Library— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and avoid repetition (e.g., “often” and “used to” repeated). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail and one brief reason. Use linking words like “however” to contrast present and past habits.

Ví dụ: I don't go to the library much now; however, I used to visit it regularly at college. For example, I would spend short breaks between lectures studying there because it was quiet and had all the reference books I needed.

Gợi ý: Reduce hesitations and filler words. Give one clear primary activity and one brief secondary activity, linked logically. Mention specific types of books or assignments to make the answer more concrete and varied vocabulary (e.g., “research” or “coursework”).

Ví dụ: I mainly use the library to read academic books and prepare assignments. For instance, I often consult textbooks and journals when researching for coursework, and occasionally I sit in a quiet corner to relax and listen to soft music.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and correct grammar (use past simple for past events). Give a clear memory with a specific time and brief detail. Avoid unclear phrases like “class 76I” and tidy the sentence structure.

Ví dụ: I don't recall visiting a public library as a young child, but my first clear memory is from the sixth grade when I visited my sister's school library. I remember borrowing a picture book there, which made me curious about reading.

Gợi ý: Avoid hedging too much. Start with a clear opinion and support it with a specific example or reason. Use correct subject-verb agreement and clearer phrasing when referring to documentaries or cultural practices.

Ví dụ: I think many Chinese children do visit libraries regularly because schools and families often encourage reading. For example, I have seen documentaries showing schools organizing regular library visits and reading activities for young students.

× To be honest, now I don't go to the library often, but when I was at college, I often used to go to the library.

✓ To be honest, I don't go to the library often now, but when I was at college I used to go to the library often.

Placement of time adverb 'now' is better after the verb phrase for natural English. Also 'used to' already indicates past habitual action; 'often used to' is acceptable but 'used to go to the library often' reads more smoothly. Suggest keeping time expressions in natural positions: 'I don't go ... now' and 'I used to go ... often.'

× Whenever I get some time between two classes, I used to go to the library and keep studying for my next classes.

✓ Whenever I had some time between two classes, I used to go to the library and study for my next classes.

'Used to' refers to past habitual actions, so the time clause should be in the past ('had' not 'get'). Also 'keep studying' is awkward here; simple past habitual 'study' fits. Suggest matching tenses within the sentence and use base verb after 'used to.'

× In the library, I generally go there for reading books or sometimes, uh, preparing my, umm, assignments.

✓ In the library I generally go to read books or sometimes prepare my assignments.

'Go there for reading books' is unidiomatic; use 'go to read books.' Also after 'go to' use base verb 'read.' Remove filler words and place 'sometimes' before verb for clarity. Use 'prepare my assignments' rather than 'for preparing.'

× And sometimes when I don't get any work to do, I just go there, uh, uh, choose a corner and sit there and just listen music.

✓ And sometimes when I don't have any work to do, I just go there, choose a corner, sit down and just listen to music.

Use 'have' rather than 'get' for possession of work. 'Choose a corner and sit there' is fine but 'sit down' is more natural. 'Listen music' is incorrect; the correct pattern is 'listen to music.' Also remove filler words. Ensure correct verb patterns and prepositions.

× No, I can't remember that I have ever visited a library when I was a kid, but when I was class 76I visited a school library and that was my sister's school.

✓ No, I can't remember ever visiting a library when I was a kid, but when I was in class 7 I visited my sister's school library.

Mixing present perfect 'have ever visited' with past time 'when I was a kid' is awkward; use 'ever visiting' or 'having visited' and simplify to 'can't remember ever visiting.' Also 'when I was class 7' needs 'in' and correct numeral formatting. 'That was my sister's school' is better stated as 'my sister's school library.' Keep tense consistent and use correct prepositions.

× That was of my first visit to a library.

✓ That was my first visit to a library.

The phrase 'was of my first visit' is ungrammatical. Use simple structure 'That was my first visit to a library.' Remove unnecessary preposition 'of.'

× I'm not sure about this, but I guess yes, they often go to the library.

✓ I'm not sure about this, but I guess they often go to the library.

'I guess yes' is informal and redundant. Better to say 'I guess they often go to the library.' Keep present tense 'often go' for habitual action. Avoid unnecessary short answers in formal responses.

× Uh, I have seen many documentaries where they shows us that they uh, makes the practice of going to library from their childhood.

✓ I have seen many documentaries that show children forming the habit of going to the library from childhood.

'Where they shows us' has subject-verb disagreement and wrong relative clause use: 'documentaries that show' is correct. 'They makes the practice' is incorrect; use 'forming the habit' or 'who make it a practice' and include article 'the library.' Also remove fillers. Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct use of relative clauses.
