Friends— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 과거와 현재의 차이를 명확하게 비교한 점은 좋습니다. 하지만 “used to”와 “when I was a child”를 함께 사용하면 다소 중복되며, “hang out to the popular cities”는 부자연스럽습니다. “popular places in the city” 또는 구체적인 장소를 사용하세요. 과거와 현재를 연결할 때 “whereas”나 “these days”를 활용하고, 현재 만나는 장소의 구체적인 예를 추가하면 더 효과적입니다.

例: Yes, there is a clear difference. When I was a child, I usually met my friends at one another’s homes, whereas these days, we tend to meet at cafés, shopping centres, or other popular places in the city.

提案: 질문에 직접 답하고 “For example”과 “but”을 사용해 논리를 잘 연결했습니다. 다만 “an appropriate place like a quiet cafe”는 다소 반복적이므로 “a quiet café”라고 간결하게 표현할 수 있습니다. 조용한 대화와 사교적인 활동의 차이를 잘 보여 주었으므로, 소음이나 공간의 분위기가 왜 중요한지 한 가지 결과를 덧붙이면 더 구체적입니다.

例: It depends on the purpose of the meeting. A quiet café is suitable for having a relaxed conversation because there is less background noise. On the other hand, people who want to socialise or have fun might prefer a lively bar or a spacious park.

提案: 선호와 이유를 제시한 점은 좋지만, “how are they doing”은 간접의문문에서 “how they are doing”으로 고쳐야 합니다. “one on a one”은 “one-on-one”이 자연스럽고, “chat with friends”는 “have a meaningful conversation”처럼 구체화할 수 있습니다. 긴 문장을 두 문장으로 나누고 “However”를 사용하면 더 명확하고 자연스럽습니다.

例: I prefer spending time with one friend because I can have a more meaningful conversation and find out how they are doing. When I meet a large group, I cannot talk to everyone properly, so I usually prefer one-on-one meetings.

提案: 질문에 직접 답했지만 “It’s it’s”와 관사 누락이 있으며, “an appropriate place” 뒤에 이유를 자연스럽게 연결해야 합니다. “share a deep conversation”보다는 “have a deep conversation”이 일반적입니다. 마지막의 “So yes”는 불필요하므로 삭제하고, 집에서 함께 할 수 있는 활동을 하나 추가하면 답변이 더 풍부해집니다.

例: Yes, I would. My home is a comfortable and quiet place, so we can have a deep conversation without being disturbed. We could also cook dinner together or watch a film.

提案: 친구의 중요성과 긍정적인 영향을 설명한 점은 좋습니다. 그러나 “energies”와 “loves”는 이 문맥에서 일반적으로 셀 수 없는 명사인 “energy”와 “love”를 사용해야 하며, “because”가 반복되었습니다. “say a lot of good things to me” 대신 “give me encouragement”처럼 자연스러운 표현을 사용하고, 친구가 실제로 어떻게 도움을 주는지 구체적인 예를 추가하세요.

例: Friends are extremely important to me because they give me emotional support and encouragement. Whenever I feel stressed, they listen to me and help me stay positive. As a result, I feel more confident and energetic when I spend time with them.

提案: 자주 외출한다는 답과 구체적인 사람을 언급한 점은 좋지만, 문장 구조와 시제가 불안정합니다. “I every day eat lunch”는 “I eat lunch with him every day”로, “she always hang out”은 주어가 3인칭 단수이므로 “she always hangs out”으로 고쳐야 합니다. 남자친구와 한국인 친구와 각각 무엇을 하는지 명확하게 나누어 말하면 더 자연스럽습니다.

例: Yes, I do, especially with my boyfriend. We have lunch together almost every day, and I also often meet a Korean friend I made in New Zealand. We usually go for coffee or explore different parts of the city.

提案: 만나는 장소와 이유를 설명하려고 했지만, 현재의 습관이므로 “met”이 아니라 “meet”을 사용해야 합니다. “in the middle of his house and my house”는 “halfway between his house and mine”이 자연스럽고, “our house located”에는 “is located”가 필요합니다. 두 집이 가깝다는 점과 실제 만나는 장소를 한 문장으로 명확하게 연결하세요.

例: We usually meet halfway between his house and mine because we live quite close to each other. There is a small café near our homes, so we often meet there for coffee.

提案: 카페에서 대화하거나 빈티지 마켓에 간다는 구체적인 활동을 제시한 점은 좋습니다. 하지만 “talk each other”는 “talk to each other”, “go to like vintage market”은 “go to a vintage market”으로 고쳐야 합니다. “looking around which clothes is suitable” 대신 “look for clothes that suit us”라고 표현하고, 두 활동을 “Another thing we enjoy is…”로 연결하면 더 자연스럽습니다.

例: I usually go to a café with my friends and talk about our daily lives. Another thing we enjoy is visiting vintage markets, where we look for clothes that suit us and give each other fashion advice.

提案: 오랫동안 알고 지낸 친구와 만난 시점을 언급한 점은 적절합니다. 하지만 “has been known each other”는 “have known each other”로 고쳐야 하며, 여러 문장을 연결어 없이 이어서 말해 문장이 불명확합니다. “We met at elementary school, and we have stayed close ever since”처럼 현재완료와 연결 표현을 활용하세요. 그 친구와 지금도 어떻게 연락하는지 추가하면 내용이 더 구체적입니다.

例: Yes, I do. I have known one of my closest friends for about ten years. We met in elementary school, and we have stayed close ever since. Even though we are sometimes busy, we still call each other regularly.

× Yes, when I was a child we usually used to meet each other at each other's home, but nowadays we usually meet outside and we hang out to the popular cities.

✓ Yes, when I was a child, we usually used to meet each other at each other's homes, but nowadays we usually meet outside and hang out in popular areas.

The phrase each other's homes refers to the homes of multiple people, so the plural form homes is appropriate.

× Yes, when I was a child we usually used to meet each other at each other's home, but nowadays we usually meet outside and we hang out to the popular cities.

✓ Yes, when I was a child, we usually used to meet each other at each other's homes, but nowadays we usually meet outside and hang out in popular areas.

We say hang out in a place, not hang out to a place. The preposition in is used to describe the location where an activity happens.

× I prefer to spend time with one friend because I like to chat with friends and I want to know how are they doing but if I meet a group of people, I cannot chat with all of them so I'm more likely to meet one on a one.

✓ I prefer to spend time with one friend because I like chatting with friends and want to know how they are doing. If I meet a group of people, I cannot chat with all of them, so I am more likely to meet one friend one-on-one.

In an indirect question, the word order is subject + verb: how they are doing, not how are they doing. Also, one-on-one is the correct expression for spending time privately with one person.

× Yes, I'd like to invite my friends to my home because It's it's appropriate place we can be quiet and can share a deep conversation. So yes.

✓ Yes, I would like to invite my friends to my home because it is an appropriate place where we can be quiet and have a deep conversation.

The singular countable noun place requires the indefinite article an. The repeated and incorrectly capitalized form It's it's should be replaced with it is.

× For me, friends give me a lot of energies and loves and I can be more positive and energetic because because my friends always encourage me and they say a lot of good things to me.

✓ For me, friends give me a lot of energy and love, and I can be more positive and energetic because my friends always encourage me and say a lot of good things to me.

Energy and love are generally uncountable nouns in this context, so they do not normally take the plural forms energies and loves.

× Yes, I do especially my boyfriend. I every day eat lunch with him and my Korean friend in New Zealand she always hang out with me together.

✓ Yes, especially with my boyfriend. I eat lunch with him every day, and my Korean friend in New Zealand always hangs out with me.

When describing spending time with a person, use with: especially with my boyfriend. The phrase hang out with me is sufficient; together is unnecessary.

× Yes, I do especially my boyfriend. I every day eat lunch with him and my Korean friend in New Zealand she always hang out with me together.

✓ Yes, especially with my boyfriend. I eat lunch with him every day, and my Korean friend in New Zealand always hangs out with me.

Frequency adverbs usually appear after the subject and before the main verb, or at the end of the sentence. Eat lunch every day is the natural placement here.

× Yes, I do especially my boyfriend. I every day eat lunch with him and my Korean friend in New Zealand she always hang out with me together.

✓ Yes, especially with my boyfriend. I eat lunch with him every day, and my Korean friend in New Zealand always hangs out with me.

The subject my Korean friend is third-person singular, so the present-tense verb needs the -s ending: hangs out.

× We often met in the middle of his house and my house because our house located really near. So we usually meet nearby our house.

✓ We often meet halfway between his house and mine because our houses are located very close to each other. So we usually meet near our houses.

The question asks about what you usually do now, so use the present tense meet rather than the past-tense form met.

× We often met in the middle of his house and my house because our house located really near. So we usually meet nearby our house.

✓ We often meet halfway between his house and mine because our houses are located very close to each other. So we usually meet near our houses.

Between is used to describe a location separating two places. We say near our houses, not nearby our house, when using near as a preposition.

× We often met in the middle of his house and my house because our house located really near. So we usually meet nearby our house.

✓ We often meet halfway between his house and mine because our houses are located very close to each other. So we usually meet near our houses.

The sentence refers to two houses, so house should be plural: houses. The possessive pronoun mine also avoids unnecessarily repeating my house.

× We often met in the middle of his house and my house because our house located really near. So we usually meet nearby our house.

✓ We often meet halfway between his house and mine because our houses are located very close to each other. So we usually meet near our houses.

The original sentence is missing the verb are. Because the subject our houses is plural, the correct form is our houses are located.

× I usually go to Cafe and talk each other or we go to like vintage market because we like to buy some new clothes and looking around which clothes is suitable for each other.

✓ I usually go to a cafe and talk to each other, or we go to a vintage market because we like to buy new clothes and look around to see which clothes suit us.

A singular countable noun such as cafe and market requires an article. Use a cafe and a vintage market when referring to unspecified places.

× I usually go to Cafe and talk each other or we go to like vintage market because we like to buy some new clothes and looking around which clothes is suitable for each other.

✓ I usually go to a cafe and talk to each other, or we go to a vintage market because we like to buy new clothes and look around to see which clothes suit us.

The reciprocal expression talk to each other requires the preposition to. In the final clause, us is the correct object pronoun because the clothes suit both speakers.

× I usually go to Cafe and talk each other or we go to like vintage market because we like to buy some new clothes and looking around which clothes is suitable for each other.

✓ I usually go to a cafe and talk to each other, or we go to a vintage market because we like to buy new clothes and look around to see which clothes suit us.

The verbs after like should be parallel. Use the infinitive forms buy and look, or use buying and looking; do not mix buy with looking in the same structure.

× I usually go to Cafe and talk each other or we go to like vintage market because we like to buy some new clothes and looking around which clothes is suitable for each other.

✓ I usually go to a cafe and talk to each other, or we go to a vintage market because we like to buy new clothes and look around to see which clothes suit us.

Clothes is plural, so the verb should be suit rather than is suitable. The revised phrase which clothes suit us is also more natural.

× Yes, I do. I have a friend who has been known each other for about ten years we met we met each other at elementary school so we are really familiar.

✓ Yes, I do. I have a friend whom I have known for about ten years. We met each other in elementary school, so we are very close.

The active subject I knows the friend, so use the active present perfect have known. Has been known is passive and incorrectly suggests that someone else has known the friend.

× Yes, I do. I have a friend who has been known each other for about ten years we met we met each other at elementary school so we are really familiar.

✓ Yes, I do. I have a friend whom I have known for about ten years. We met each other in elementary school, so we are very close.

Use in with school when referring to the period or setting in which the meeting occurred: we met in elementary school. The phrase familiar normally needs with, so very close is a more natural alternative here.
