Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Be direct and clear: start with a concise topic sentence answering the question, then add one or two specific supporting details. Avoid unclear phrases and irrelevant words (e.g. “piece of my house”, “IT works”). Use correct grammar and simpler vocabulary.
Ví dụ: No, I don't. I only carry one key for my house because I don't have a car or an office key. As a result, my keyring is light and easy to keep track of.

× No I don't think so as I have just one piece of my house and it works all of the IT works within my house.
✓ No, I don't think so because I have just one set of house keys and it works for all the locks in my house.
The original uses 'one piece of my house' which is incorrect for keys (countable noun) and 'works all of the IT works within my house' is ungrammatical. Use the plural 'keys' or the phrase 'one set of house keys' to refer to key items. Also replace 'as' with 'because' for clarity and fix verb agreement and word order. Suggestion: Say 'one set of house keys' or 'one house key' depending on meaning.
× Yes, sometimes I lost my key as whenever I am in a hurry or maybe whenever when I am getting late in the morning or whenever I am going to do my work and I am late, then I lost my key sometimes.
✓ Yes, sometimes I lose my key when I am in a hurry or getting late in the morning or when I am rushing to work.
The original mixes past tense 'lost' with present tense time clauses like 'whenever I am'. Habitual actions should use the present simple ('I lose') or present continuous for ongoing situations. Remove redundant 'sometimes' and 'whenever when', and streamline the sentence. Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual actions: 'I lose my key when I am in a hurry.'
× Not often, but it's a rare case, maybe two to three times in a year or maybe 2 years 'cause when I am feeling stressed I sometimes lost my things like keys and I locked myself various times.
✓ Not often; it's rare, maybe two or three times a year or every two years, because when I feel stressed I sometimes lose things like keys and have locked myself out several times.
Again, 'lost' (past) conflicts with present reference 'when I am feeling stressed'. Use present simple 'lose' for habitual behavior. 'Locked myself various times' is awkward; use 'have locked myself out several times' to express repeated past occurrences with present relevance. Also correct quantifier phrasing ('two or three times a year'). Suggestion: Use present simple for habits and present perfect for repeated past events with relevance: 'I sometimes lose... and have locked myself out.'
× I don't think so because leaving keys with the neighbor maybe sometimes are risky as whenever we are outside they can watch our personal things in our which are placed in our house or maybe they can store them.
✓ I don't think so because leaving keys with the neighbor can sometimes be risky: when we are away they could access our personal belongings in the house or even take them.
Multiple issues: 'are risky' disagrees with singular subject 'leaving keys' (gerund clause is singular) so use 'can be risky'. 'They can watch our personal things in our which are placed in our house' is ungrammatical pronoun use and word order. Replace 'watch' with 'access' or 'take', and fix pronouns ('our personal belongings in the house'). Suggestion: Use 'can be risky' for gerund subjects and clear pronouns: 'they could access our personal belongings'.
