Corrections from an IDIY instructor

Customer’s text
Because I am tired, I seem to be able to sleep well.

Corrections from the instructor
I am tired, so I should be able to sleep well.
With our Advanced Text Correction
Explanations and comments from the instructor are included.

Explanations/comments from the instructor
1) When we use “seem(s) to,” it does not refer to the future: it means that we have looked at something and seen how it looks in the present. What you want to say here is the future–”When I go to sleep, I think I will be able to sleep well.” That’s one possible phrasing, and I’ve offered another, “I should be able to sleep well.” You could also say “I’ll probably sleep well” or “I expect to sleep well,” among others.
2) In order not to begin two sentences in a row with “because,” I took it out here and changed the sentence to use “so.” The meaning is the same.

Make learning English a habit with our diary service

First, lets train your child to summarize everyday events in English with the diary. By making a habit out of explaining familiar events, such as what happened at school, conversations with friends, hobbies, and experiences with the family, your child can learn practical and unique English that cannot be found in textbooks. Lets start by making the English diary a fun habit!

FAQs

I am thinking about signing my child up for IDIY. What service do you recommend?

In addition to our custom text correction service, we recommend our photo description service – designed for exam preparation, and our diary service, where your children can build a habit out of explaining their day in English. Regardless, it may be best to start out with our service that your child is most interested in. When your child gets used to studying with IDIY, they can start challenging themselves with our daily and freestyle essay exercises, which range in difficulty from easy conversational topics to University level topics. Whatever service you choose, our expert instructors are here to guide your child every step of the way!
Are there correction and explanation options that are suitable for children?

Yes. At IDIY, we offer a personalized correction service with the option to inform your instructors about your child’s age, current English level, goals, and other relevant information. Our instructors will use this information to offer corrections and advice fit for each child’s unique needs and goals.
