Travelling— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Give a direct topic sentence then add one or two specific reasons or an example using linking words. Keep it natural and concise (no more than 5 sentences). For example, explain what you like about the window seat and mention any typical situations.

예시: Yes, I usually prefer to sit by the window when I travel because I enjoy the view and it helps me relax. For instance, on long bus rides I watch the scenery pass, which makes the journey feel shorter. Also, having the window lets me rest my head against it when I want to sleep.

제안: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then add specific details such as where you went, how long the trip was, what you remember, and use linking words to connect ideas. Avoid very short, vague replies.

예시: Yes, I did have a long journey with my family when I was about eight years old; we drove for ten hours to visit my grandparents in another city. During the trip, I remember playing games in the car and stopping at a seaside town for lunch, which was a highlight. Overall, it was tiring but fun because we spent time together and saw new places.

× Yes, I prefer this.

✓ Yes, I prefer to sit there.

The examiner asked about a habitual preference when travelling (location: by the window). The student's reply 'Yes, I prefer this.' uses the demonstrative 'this' incorrectly and is incomplete. This is a sentence structure/pronoun usage problem: 'this' typically refers to a nearby object or idea and sounds unnatural for referring to a seat position. Use an infinitive phrase to mirror the question: 'to sit there' or repeat 'to sit by the window.' Suggestion: say 'Yes, I prefer to sit by the window' or the shorter 'Yes, I prefer to sit there.' Grammar problem type ID:12

× Yes, there was.

✓ Yes, I did.

The examiner asked 'Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?' which requires a short answer using the auxiliary did. The student's reply 'Yes, there was.' incorrectly uses the existential construction 'there was,' which does not match the question. This is a 'there be' and sentence structure error. The correct short answer is 'Yes, I did.' If giving a full sentence, use 'Yes, I did have a long journey with my family as a child' or 'Yes, we did.' Suggestion: use the auxiliary from the question (did) and match the subject: 'I did' or 'We did.' Grammar problem type ID:3
