Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Thí sinh
I actually really don't know this. I've never been to China before. I think probably yes, if they have umm, library there. What they know about China is that there are a lot of people there living currently in China. Population is really big. Uh, so they have a small houses and maybe they are, they find better.
Do you often go to the library?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Risposta: Sii più conciso e naturale. Inizia con una frase tematica chiara, poi aggiungi uno o due dettagli specifici usando connettivi semplici. Evita ripetizioni (es. "to" ripetuto) e formalità eccessiva come "Sir". Organizza le informazioni: frequenza, motivi e un breve risultato/effetto (es. guadagno o migliori concentrazione). Migliora anche la pronuncia di parole chiave e usa lessico più vario come "part-time tutoring" invece di "doing some lessons".
Ví dụ: Yes, I usually go to the library on weekdays because it’s very close to where I live. I often study there with friends, and I also do part‑time tutoring for younger students, which helps me earn a little money while studying.

× I go to the library almost always during the weekdays.
✓ I almost always go to the library on weekdays.
Using 'during the weekdays' is not incorrect but 'on weekdays' is the more natural prepositional phrase in English. Also, adverb placement: 'almost always' is typically placed before the main verb 'go' for natural word order.
× it is really near to my house
✓ it is really near my house
In English we say 'near my house' not 'near to my house'. The preposition 'to' is unnecessary and unidiomatic in this context.
× I go studying there with some friends
✓ I go there to study with some friends
The construction 'go studying' is unnatural. Use 'go there to study' to indicate purpose, or simply 'study there with some friends'. This follows the verb + infinitive pattern for purpose.
× I am also now doing some lessons to younger children
✓ I am also now giving some lessons to younger children
We 'give' or 'teach' lessons to someone, not 'do lessons to'. Use 'giving lessons to' or 'teaching younger children' to be idiomatic.
× in order to to do a little job.
✓ in order to earn a little money.
The phrase 'to do a little job' is awkward; native speakers say 'earn a little money' or 'do a small job'. Also there is a duplicated 'to to'. Replace with a clear purpose phrase.
× As I was saying, I often study for my university
✓ As I was saying, I often study for my university courses
'Study for my university' is incomplete; add 'courses' or 'degree' to clarify the object of study. This improves noun usage and clarity.
× I also help other students that are younger than me with their primary or secondary schools and also someone in the high school.
✓ I also help other students who are younger than me with their primary or secondary school work, and sometimes I help high school students too.
Use 'who' for people, not 'that'. 'Primary or secondary schools' should be 'primary or secondary school work' to indicate what you help with. 'Someone in the high school' is unidiomatic; use 'high school students' or 'students in high school'.
× And this is the because it allows me to earn some money while I am studying.
✓ And this is because it allows me to earn some money while I am studying.
Remove the unnecessary definite article 'the'. The correct phrase is 'this is because'. Also the sentence is otherwise fine.
× Yes, Sir, but not as often as I do now. I went there early.
✓ Yes, Sir, but not as often as I do now. I went there earlier.
Use 'earlier' (comparative adverb) to mean 'at an earlier time' rather than 'early' which describes a general time of day. 'Earlier' matches the past reference.
× I never studied there, but I used to study at my home, at my home with friends maybe or alone and went to the library just sometimes to to to take some book from there.
✓ I never studied there; I used to study at home, with friends or alone, and I went to the library only sometimes to borrow a book.
Remove duplicate 'to's. Say 'at home' not 'at my home' repeatedly. 'Went to the library just sometimes' becomes 'only sometimes'. Use 'borrow a book' rather than 'take some book from there' for natural phrasing.
× I actually really don't know this.
✓ I actually don't really know.
Natural spoken English often uses 'I don't really know' or 'I actually don't really know'. The original placement of 'really' is less natural; move it after 'don't'.
× I've never been to China before.
✓ I've never been to China.
'Before' is redundant when using 'I've never'. Removing it makes the sentence cleaner and more natural.
× I think probably yes, if they have umm, library there.
✓ I think probably yes, if they have libraries there.
Use plural 'libraries' when speaking generally about a country. Also say 'if they have libraries there' rather than 'umm, library' for fluency.
× What they know about China is that there are a lot of people there living currently in China.
✓ What I know about China is that a lot of people currently live there.
Use first person 'I' not 'they' when referring to your own knowledge. Reorder the clause: 'a lot of people currently live there' is concise and natural.
× Population is really big.
✓ The population is really large.
Use the definite article 'the' with 'population' when referring to a country's population. 'Large' is a more appropriate adjective than 'big' in this context.
× so they have a small houses and maybe they are, they find better.
✓ so they have small houses and may have better living conditions elsewhere.
Remove the incorrect article 'a' before plural 'houses'. The original ending 'maybe they are, they find better' is unclear; rephrase to 'may have better living conditions elsewhere' for clarity and grammaticality.
