Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Puntuación: 58.0Sugerencia: 문법적으로 ‘like’ 뒤에는 동명사나 to부정사가 와야 하므로 ‘like sitting’ 또는 ‘like to sit’을 사용해야 합니다. ‘all hanging around’는 이 문맥에서 의미가 불분명하므로 삭제하세요. 또한 ‘moving to somewhere’보다는 ‘travelling to different places’가 자연스럽습니다. 첫 문장에서 선호를 직접 밝히고, ‘because’로 이유를 연결한 점은 좋지만, 창가 좌석의 구체적인 장점을 한 가지 더 설명하면 답변이 더 효과적입니다.
Ejemplo: Yes, I definitely prefer sitting by the window when I travel. I enjoy looking at the scenery as we pass through different towns and landscapes. Also, having a view makes long journeys feel less boring.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Puntuación: 35.0Sugerencia: 과거 경험을 묻는 질문이므로 현재형 ‘love’ 대신 ‘loved’를 사용해야 하며, ‘go mountain’은 ‘go to the mountains’로 고쳐야 합니다. ‘even though’는 뒤에 대조되는 내용이 필요하므로 이 문장에서는 사용하지 않는 것이 좋습니다. ‘when I was a little’은 ‘when I was little’, ‘stay in a month’는 ‘stay for a month’가 자연스럽습니다. ‘salt accent’는 의미가 불분명하므로 정확한 장소명이나 ‘a remote mountain area’처럼 일반적인 표현을 사용하고, 여행 중 무엇을 했는지 구체적인 세부사항을 추가하세요.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. When I was little, my father took my family and me on a long trip to a remote mountain area. We stayed there for about a month, hiking during the day and enjoying the peaceful surroundings together.
× Yes, I really like sit by the window when traveling all hanging around. It's because I like seeing the view and scenery while I'm moving to somewhere.
✓ Yes, I really like sitting by the window when traveling. It's because I like seeing the view and scenery while I'm moving somewhere.
After the verb like, a gerund with -ing is used when referring to an activity. Therefore, like sit should be like sitting. Also, the preposition to is unnecessary before somewhere because somewhere can be used directly after the verb move.
× Yes, I really like sit by the window when traveling all hanging around. It's because I like seeing the view and scenery while I'm moving to somewhere.
✓ Yes, I really like sitting by the window when traveling. It's because I like seeing the view and scenery while I'm moving somewhere.
Somewhere is an adverb of place, so it does not need the preposition to after moving. Say moving somewhere, not moving to somewhere.
× Yes, my dad really love to go mountain with my family, so even though when I was a little he took me to the big mountain like salt accent to go there and stay in a month.
✓ Yes, my dad really loved going to the mountains with my family, so when I was little, he took me to a big mountain like Salt Mountain, and we stayed there for a month.
The original sentence describes a past experience, so love must be changed to the past-tense form loved. The subject my dad is singular, so in the present tense the verb would be loves.
× Yes, my dad really love to go mountain with my family, so even though when I was a little he took me to the big mountain like salt accent to go there and stay in a month.
✓ Yes, my dad really loved going to the mountains with my family, so when I was little, he took me to a big mountain like Salt Mountain, and we stayed there for a month.
The sentence refers to a completed childhood experience, so the verbs should be in the past tense. Loved and stayed are appropriate past-tense forms.
× Yes, my dad really love to go mountain with my family, so even though when I was a little he took me to the big mountain like salt accent to go there and stay in a month.
✓ Yes, my dad really loved going to the mountains with my family, so when I was little, he took me to a big mountain like Salt Mountain, and we stayed there for a month.
The phrase go mountain is missing the preposition to. The natural expression is go to the mountains. For a duration, use for a month, not in a month.
× Yes, my dad really love to go mountain with my family, so even though when I was a little he took me to the big mountain like salt accent to go there and stay in a month.
✓ Yes, my dad really loved going to the mountains with my family, so when I was little, he took me to a big mountain like Salt Mountain, and we stayed there for a month.
When speaking generally about mountain trips, mountains is normally used in the plural. The phrase go mountain is therefore changed to go to the mountains.
× Yes, my dad really love to go mountain with my family, so even though when I was a little he took me to the big mountain like salt accent to go there and stay in a month.
✓ Yes, my dad really loved going to the mountains with my family, so when I was little, he took me to a big mountain like Salt Mountain, and we stayed there for a month.
The singular countable noun mountain needs an article. Use a big mountain when mentioning one mountain that has not been specifically identified.
× Yes, my dad really love to go mountain with my family, so even though when I was a little he took me to the big mountain like salt accent to go there and stay in a month.
✓ Yes, my dad really loved going to the mountains with my family, so when I was little, he took me to a big mountain like Salt Mountain, and we stayed there for a month.
Even though and when should not be used together in this sentence. When correctly introduces the time of the childhood event, so even though should be removed.
× Yes, my dad really love to go mountain with my family, so even though when I was a little he took me to the big mountain like salt accent to go there and stay in a month.
✓ Yes, my dad really loved going to the mountains with my family, so when I was little, he took me to a big mountain like Salt Mountain, and we stayed there for a month.
The natural expression is when I was little, without the article a. Little is used as an adjective in this expression, not as a singular countable noun.
