List— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and relevant, but try to avoid redundancy and improve sentence structure for natural flow. For example, instead of repeating 'older and older' and 'memory' twice, you could say it more concisely. Also, try to use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly.

예시: Yes, I always make a shopping list before going to the supermarket because as we age, our memory tends to weaken. Therefore, having a list helps me remember everything I need to buy.

제안: Try to reduce filler words like 'umm' and 'uh' to make your answer sound more confident and natural. Also, organise your answer with clear linking words and correct grammar. For example, use 'because' to explain why making a list helps you.

예시: Yes, I always make a to-do list at work because it helps me prioritise tasks and improves my efficiency.

제안: Your answer is a bit unclear and has grammatical errors. Try to express your ideas more clearly and use linking words to connect your points. Also, avoid vague phrases like 'whatever they want' and be more specific.

예시: Some people might avoid making lists because they believe it shows they have a poor memory. Additionally, they prefer to do tasks spontaneously rather than following a fixed plan.

제안: Your answer is understandable but contains some grammar mistakes and awkward phrasing. Try to use correct verb forms and clearer expressions. Also, use linking words to explain your preference logically.

예시: I prefer making lists on paper or sticky notes because I like writing by hand. Moreover, since I spend a lot of time looking at screens for work, using paper helps me take a break from digital devices.

× the memory, the ability to memorize things are weakening

✓ the memory, the ability to memorize things is weakening

The subject 'the memory, the ability to memorize things' is singular as it refers to a single combined concept, so the verb should be singular 'is' instead of 'are'.

× I need to take a list with me

✓ I need to take a list

The phrase 'take a list with me' is awkward; the correct expression is simply 'take a list' or 'take a list with me' is acceptable but 'take a list' is more natural. However, since the original is acceptable in informal speech, this is a minor issue. Alternatively, 'bring a list with me' would be better. But as per the instruction, only correct mistakes in the list. This is borderline but can be accepted.

× I always umm, also make a list umm, to uh, in my work

✓ I always also make a list at work

The preposition 'in' is incorrect here; the correct preposition to indicate place of work is 'at'. Also, 'to' is unnecessary and should be removed.

× when I make A to do list

✓ when I make a to-do list

The article 'A' should be lowercase 'a' and 'to do list' should be hyphenated as 'to-do list' to be correct.

× the jobs that I need to do for that I need to finish first

✓ the jobs that I need to do that I need to finish first

The phrase 'for that' is incorrect; it should be 'that' to connect the clauses properly. This is more a sentence structure issue but relates to conjunction use.

× Maybe they think making a list means they are not have a good memory to remember their time

✓ Maybe they think making a list means they do not have a good memory to remember their time

The phrase 'they are not have' is incorrect; the correct form is 'they do not have' to express negation in present tense.

× These tasks they want to do whatever they want or what is easy to think of

✓ They want to do whatever tasks they want or whatever is easy to think of

The sentence structure is confusing; 'These tasks they want to do' is incorrect. It should be rephrased to clarify the subject and object relationship.

× I'd like to make a list on the paper or on the sticky note

✓ I'd like to make a list on paper or on a sticky note

The article 'the' before 'paper' and 'sticky note' is incorrect; 'on paper' and 'on a sticky note' are the correct expressions.

× when I doing my work I have to stare on the screen and the phone all the time

✓ when I am doing my work I have to stare at the screen and the phone all the time

The verb 'doing' needs an auxiliary verb 'am' to form the present continuous tense. Also, the preposition 'on' should be 'at' when referring to looking at a screen.

× So now I need to change a different

✓ So now I need to change to something different

The phrase 'change a different' is incorrect; it should be 'change to something different' to express the intended meaning properly.
