Machine— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make the response grammatically correct, more concise, and add a clear topic sentence plus one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words for coherence and avoid redundancy. Aim for natural phrasing and correct verb forms.

예시: My favourite machine at home is my coffee machine because I drink coffee every morning. I bought it last week and I find it very useful as it makes consistently good espresso, saving me time compared with going to a café.

제안: Start with a clear topic sentence answering yes/no, then give specific reasons and use correct grammar and linking words. Replace vague phrases with concrete effects and correct verb forms.

예시: Yes, I think washing machines and vacuum cleaners are very important because they speed up household chores. For example, a washing machine cleans a full load in under an hour and a vacuum saves me physical effort, so I feel less tired afterward.

제안: Provide a clear topic sentence and clearer reason, correct word order, and one specific condition when you would read the instructions. Use linking words like 'however' or 'unless'.

예시: I don't usually read the instructions because I prefer to try the device first. However, if I encounter a problem or the device seems complicated, I will read the manual to avoid damage or misuse.

제안: Give a direct answer, then explain with specific examples and correct vocabulary. Use linking words (e.g., 'however', 'for example') and avoid repeating the same idea.

예시: Yes, I think reading the instructions is important for potentially dangerous or complex machines, such as gas heaters or power tools. However, for simple appliances like a coffee maker I might only skim the manual unless something goes wrong.

× I live drinking coffee, I make some coffee every morning and I just bought the new machine last week.

✓ I love drinking coffee; I make coffee every morning, and I just bought the new machine last week.

The student wrote 'live drinking coffee' which is incorrect; the intended verb is 'love' (a stative verb). Also 'make some coffee' is acceptable but 'make coffee' is more natural. Use of commas and conjunctions was improved for clarity. Suggestion: replace 'live' with 'love' and join clauses correctly with proper punctuation.

× I think it makes better.

✓ I think it makes better coffee.

The sentence 'I think it makes better' is incomplete because 'better' is a comparative adjective that needs an object to compare (better than what) or at least the noun it modifies. Adding 'coffee' completes the thought. Suggestion: always provide the noun when using 'better' or compare explicitly (e.g., 'better than my old machine').

× Definitely it can help me doing chores and it is quicker when I use these machines.

✓ Definitely they can help me do chores, and it is quicker when I use these machines.

The student used 'it' to refer to plural 'washing machines and sweeping machines'; the correct pronoun is 'they' (subject-verb agreement/pronoun reference). Additionally, 'help me doing chores' is incorrect; after 'help' use the base form 'do' (help + infinitive without to). Suggestion: match pronouns to plural subjects and use 'help me do' rather than 'help me doing'.

× There are also decrease my tiredness.

✓ They also decrease my tiredness.

'There are also decrease my tiredness' is ungrammatical. Use the correct subject 'they' to refer to the machines, followed by the verb 'decrease' conjugated for plural subject: 'they decrease'. Remove 'there are' which is unnecessary. Suggestion: use clear subject pronouns and correct verb conjugation.

× I don't usually the read the instructions before using it because I think it is a waste of time.

✓ I don't usually read the instructions before using it because I think they are a waste of time.

The extra article 'the' before 'read' is incorrect and should be removed. Also, 'it' is unclear: refer to 'the machine' or use plural 'they' with 'instructions' — 'they are a waste of time' is correct. Suggestion: remove unnecessary words and ensure pronoun reference matches the noun (instructions -> they).

× I prefer using it and if I have an obstacle I just read it.

✓ I prefer to use it, and if I encounter a problem I just read the instructions.

After 'prefer' either 'to' + verb or verb+ -ing is acceptable; 'prefer to use' sounds more natural here. 'Obstacle' is not the correct collocation for trouble when using a machine; use 'problem' or 'difficulty'. Also 'read it' is vague; specify 'read the instructions'. Suggestion: use 'prefer to use' and 'encounter a problem' or 'have a problem'.

× I think if the machines are quite dangerous the instructions should be read every time you buy it.

✓ I think if the machines are quite dangerous, the instructions should be read every time you buy one.

The sentence mixes plural 'machines' with singular 'it' and uses an unclear referent. Use 'one' to refer to 'a machine' after 'you buy' or make the subject singular: 'if a machine is quite dangerous...you buy it.' Suggestion: maintain number agreement between nouns and pronouns; use 'one' for indefinite singular references.

× But for watching machines or just coffee machines I think I usually skip it.

✓ But for washing machines or just coffee machines, I think I usually skip them.

The student used 'watching' instead of 'washing' (spelling error) and 'it' to refer to plural 'machines'. Use 'washing machines' and plural pronoun 'them'. Suggestion: correct the word to 'washing' and ensure pronoun number matches the noun (machines -> them).
