Work— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and relevant with a concise topic sentence and supporting details. To improve, reduce hesitation, vary sentence openings, and add a short linking phrase to show purpose (e.g., "so that"). Avoid repeating similar ideas (both "prepare" and "strengthen" are overlapping).

예시: I'm taking a gap year to prepare for my PhD, so I'm gaining research experience and taking advanced courses to strengthen my application.

제안: Good content but a bit unfocused andcontains fillers ("well", "umm"). Be direct: state location, then briefly explain activities with a linking word (e.g., "and"). Replace vague phrase "studying university" with "starting university" or "returning to study".

예시: I live in Suzhou, a city near Shanghai, and I'm using my gap year to travel and gain some work experience before returning to study.

제안: The answer attempts to give reasons but has many hesitations and grammatical issues. Start with a clear opinion sentence, then give two specific supporting points using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Remove filler words and correct phrases like "there is a very great environment" to "it has a pleasant environment."

예시: Yes, it's a good place to work because it has a pleasant environment with many parks nearby, and it's very convenient for shopping and transport.

제안: Solid positive answer with reasons. To improve, combine ideas more smoothly using linking words (e.g., "because", "so") and fix minor grammar ("help" -> "helps"). Keep it to two or three sentences maximum.

예시: Yes, definitely, because my apartment has several dedicated workspaces and is very cozy, which helps me concentrate on research.

제안: Clear intention but phrasing is awkward and contains filler. State your plans directly, then give a specific goal and a brief reason. Replace "find in a work or job related with" with "find a job related to" and avoid "wish" which sounds tentative—use "hope" or "plan".

예시: I'm applying for a PhD and doing research now; in the future I hope to get a job related to research or academic writing.

× I'm currently taking a gap year to fully prepare for my PhD program.

✓ I'm currently taking a gap year to prepare fully for my PhD program.

The original is acceptable but 'to fully prepare' is a split infinitive; while not strictly ungrammatical, many formal contexts prefer 'to prepare fully'. Suggestion improves formality and word order.

× I'm gaining research experience and taking some advanced courses to strengthen my application.

✓ I am gaining research experience and taking advanced courses to strengthen my application.

Remove 'some' for conciseness; the original is grammatical but 'some advanced courses' can sound vague. This correction tightens sentence structure and improves formality.

× Well, I'm currently taking a gap year in Suzhou, a city near Shanghai in eastern China.

✓ Well, I'm currently taking a gap year in Suzhou, a city near Shanghai in eastern China.

This sentence is correct; no preposition error. Kept unchanged.

× I'm using this time to travel and gain some work experience before umm, studying university.

✓ I'm using this time to travel and gain some work experience before starting university.

'Studying university' is not natural English; we say 'start university' or 'attend university'. Replace with 'starting university' to use a correct verb + noun collocation.

× I think so. I spent a lot of time at home though doing some research and umm, but uh, I have to say there is a very great environment where, uh, lots of parks around here and umm, it's also very convenient.

✓ I think so. I have spent a lot of time at home doing research, but I must say the environment here is excellent: there are many parks, and it is very convenient.

Original has tense inconsistency and awkward connectors ('though ... but'), filler words ('umm', 'uh'), and incorrect clause order ('there is a very great environment where, uh, lots of parks around here'). Correction fixes tense (present perfect 'have spent' to link past to present), removes fillers, resolves contradictory connectors, and uses natural word order and count noun agreement ('there are many parks').

× Would you like the place where you work?

✓ Would you like the place where you work?

This question is grammatical and needs no change.

× Yes, definitely. I think it's the best place for me to work at home and there are many spaces in my apartment for me to do some research and it's very cozy and help me to concentrate more.

✓ Yes, definitely. I think it's the best place for me to work from home: there is plenty of space in my apartment to do research, and it's very cozy, which helps me concentrate.

Original has preposition and agreement issues: 'work at home' is acceptable but 'best place for me to work at home' is awkward; use 'work from home'. 'Many spaces' should be 'plenty of space' or 'many areas'; subject-verb agreement ('it's very cozy and help me' should be 'helps me'). Correction fixes preposition, noun phrase, and subject-verb agreement and removes redundancy.

× Well, as I said before, I'm applying for a PhD program and doing some research.

✓ Well, as I said before, I'm applying for a PhD program and doing research.

Original is grammatical; removing 'some' makes it more formal. Tense 'I'm applying' and 'doing' correctly show current plans.

× I wish that in the future I could find in a work or job related with research or writing articles.

✓ I hope that in the future I can find a job related to research or writing articles.

Original uses incorrect prepositions and articles: 'find in a work or job' is ungrammatical; use 'find a job'. Use 'related to' rather than 'related with'. Use 'hope' and 'can' for realistic future aspiration instead of 'wish' plus 'could', which sounds counterfactual. Also prefer 'a job' or 'work' (not both) and natural collocation 'writing articles'.
