Hometown— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be concise, avoid filler sounds (uh, um) and complete your sentences. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail with a linking word. Also use correct phrasing for population figures.

예시: My hometown is Tehran, the capital of Iran. Although it's very large and busy, it has a lively culture and many parks. For example, I estimate the population is about 10–12 million, so traffic and crowds are common.

제안: Begin with a direct topic sentence (I particularly like...), then use linking words (however, despite) correctly and provide specific examples (names or types of parks, markets, or qualities of people). Reduce repetition and correct grammar (many parks, ancient places).

예시: I particularly like the parks and traditional markets in my hometown. Despite problems like air pollution and traffic, places such as Laleh Park and the Grand Bazaar are peaceful and full of character, and local people are friendly and welcoming.

제안: Answer directly with a correct, complete sentence and avoid hesitation. Use a clear time phrase (all my life, since I was born, for X years) and one brief supporting detail if needed.

예시: I have lived there all my life — I was born and raised in Tehran, so I've been there for about 30 years.

제안: Give a clear topic sentence (Yes or No + reason), then list two or three specific amenities using linking words (for example, such as, and). Avoid hesitation and use correct collocations (modern spaces, appropriate activities).

예시: Yes — it's a good place for young people because it offers many modern spaces. For example, there are trendy cafés, sports centres with gyms and swimming pools, and public parks where young people can meet and exercise.

× I guess uh, more or less 12 million population, uh, since uh, it can be very busy and uh, the.

✓ I guess the population is more or less 12 million, since it can be very busy.

The student omitted the definite article before 'population' and used an awkward word order. Use 'the population' when referring to a specific population and place the verb 'is' after the subject. Also remove trailing filler words. Suggestion: say 'I guess the population is about 12 million.'

× It's a huge and crowded city.

✓ It's a huge, crowded city.

Using 'and' is not incorrect but redundant when listing coordinate adjectives that equally modify a noun. Use a comma between coordinate adjectives: 'huge, crowded city.' Suggestion: place a comma between adjectives that independently describe the noun.

× What I part what I particularly like is that despite the problem such as air pollution and traffic, my hometown is is still beautiful with many park ancient places and also traditional markets.

✓ What I particularly like is that despite problems such as air pollution and traffic, my hometown is still beautiful with many parks, ancient places, and traditional markets.

Multiple issues: 'despite the problem such as' should be 'despite problems such as' (plural and preposition usage). 'many park' needs plural 'parks'. Word order and commas needed between listed items. Also duplicate 'is'. Suggestion: use plural 'problems' and plural nouns for 'parks', and separate list items with commas.

× And I should mention about people.

✓ And I should mention the people.

The verb 'mention' does not require the preposition 'about' when followed by a direct object. Use 'mention the people' or 'mention the local people' for clarity. Suggestion: remove 'about' in this structure.

× I born and bred there.

✓ I was born and raised there.

'Born' and 'bred' require passive or appropriate past participle forms. The correct idiom is 'I was born and raised there.' Use passive voice for 'born' and past participle 'raised' for upbringing. Suggestion: learn idiomatic expression 'born and raised.'

× Umm, as far as I remember, I have, I have, uh, there.

✓ Umm, as far as I remember, I have lived there all my life.

The original is fragmented and missing the main verb and object. To express duration, use 'I have lived there' plus a duration phrase. Suggestion: complete the sentence with a verb and timeframe.

× My, uh, hometown offers uh, many modern space such as a cafeteria, uh, uh, sports facilities, gym, and uh, something else, uh, which, uh, young people can, uh, go there and, uh, have a appropriate activity.

✓ My hometown offers many modern spaces such as cafeterias, sports facilities, and gyms, where young people can go and have appropriate activities.

'Many' should modify a countable plural noun 'spaces' not 'space'. Use plural forms for listed items (cafeterias, gyms). 'A appropriate' should be 'an appropriate' (article before vowel sound). Also avoid redundant 'there' after 'go'. Suggestion: use plural nouns with 'many' and correct article 'an' before 'appropriate.'
