Tidiness— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear, relevant and well structured with a topic sentence, reason and an example. To improve further, reduce small repetition (“tidy” used several times) and add a linking word to make the flow smoother (e.g., “because” or “therefore”). Also try to vary vocabulary (use neat, organized, clutter-free) and keep sentences concise to fit the 5-sentence guideline.

예시: I prefer to live and work in a clutter-free environment because I lose concentration when things are messy. Therefore, when my desk is organized I can plan tasks more efficiently and finish them faster.

제안: Good contrast between past and present. Improve by correcting small errors (“tied up tied them up” is redundant and ungrammatical) and using clearer linking (e.g., “however” or “now”). Replace repeated adjectives (tidy and neat) with varied vocabulary and condense into fewer, cleaner sentences.

예시: No, I didn’t use to keep my room tidy as a child because I often left toys everywhere. However, now I’m more responsible, so I always keep my room neat and organized.

제안: Solid specific details and a clear routine. Improve by adding linking words for cohesion (e.g., “for instance” or “in addition”) and avoiding small redundancies (“tidy and organized” together). Consider giving a brief reason why each action helps (e.g., reduces clutter, improves focus).

예시: I put everything back in its place and follow a cleaning routine. For instance, I vacuum weekly and dust every few days, which reduces clutter and helps me focus better.

제안: The answer states opinion and reasons, which is good. Improve by removing hesitation sounds (“uh”), combining ideas with linking words (e.g., “because” and “as a result”), and avoiding repetition (“messy place” and “tidy space” used multiple times). Keep it concise and add one specific effect of tidiness (e.g., better focus or fewer mistakes).

예시: I think it depends on the person, but for me it’s necessary because I can’t concentrate in a messy environment. As a result, working in a tidy space reduces my stress and makes me more productive.

× I lose my concentration in a messy place and it increases my stress level.

✓ I lose my concentration in a messy place, and it increases my stress level.

The original sentence is grammatically acceptable but lacks a comma before the coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses. This is a punctuation issue rather than a verb -ing problem; however, based on the provided list the closest applicable category is 'Verb + -ing form' because the verb phrase 'lose my concentration' uses simple present not -ing. Suggestion: add the comma to separate independent clauses for clarity.

× I was playing with all my toys and never tied up tied them up.

✓ I was playing with all my toys and never tied them up.

The sentence contains a duplicated phrase 'tied up tied' which is a simple repetition error. It also misuses word order by placing the particle twice. Classified here as 'Incorrect reflexive pronoun' only because no exact category for repetition exists in the list. Correction: remove the extra words so the verb phrase 'tied them up' is correct. Suggestion: proofread to avoid accidental duplication.

× For example, if my desk is tidy, I can organize my work better and it helps me to do it faster.

✓ For example, if my desk is tidy, I can organize my work better and it helps me do it faster.

The original uses an unnecessary infinitive marker 'to' after 'helps me'. After verbs like 'help', the bare infinitive is common in informal spoken English. This relates to verb form selection similar to third person singular patterns. Suggestion: use 'helps me do' or 'helps me to do' consistently; here 'helps me do' is more natural.

× I was playing with all my toys and never tied them up.

✓ When I was a kid, I played with all my toys and never tied them up.

The original uses past continuous 'was playing' which implies an ongoing action at a specific time; 'When I was a kid' fits better with simple past 'played' to describe habitual past actions. This is a tense choice issue. Suggestion: use simple past for habitual actions in the past.

× I cannot concentrate in a messy place and uh also it increases my stress level, so if I want to become more productive, I need to work in a tidy space.

✓ I cannot concentrate in a messy place, and it also increases my stress level, so if I want to become more productive, I need to work in a tidy space.

The main issue is word order and insertion of filler 'uh' and placement of 'also'. Classified under prepositions because list lacks a 'filler/word order' category. Correction reorders 'also' to 'it also increases' and removes filler, and adds a comma for clarity. Suggestion: place adverbs like 'also' next to the verb they modify and avoid fillers in spoken responses.

× No, when I was a kid I didn't care how messy my room was.

✓ No. When I was a kid, I didn't care how messy my room was.

The original combines two clauses with a comma splice style; better to separate the initial interjection 'No' with a period and add a comma after the time phrase for clarity. This is a sentence structure/punctuation improvement. Suggestion: start the sentence with 'No.' then follow with the time clause and comma.

× I try to put everything in its place and follow a cleaning routine to keep it tidy.

✓ I try to put everything in its place and follow a cleaning routine to keep it tidy.

This sentence is grammatically correct in present simple describing habitual actions. No correction needed. Explanation: present simple correctly describes routines; keep as is.

× so in this way it's always tidy and organized.

✓ so, in this way, it's always tidy and organized.

The sentence is grammatical but commas around the introductory phrase 'in this way' improve clarity. Classified as 'There be issue' only because no punctuation category exists. Suggestion: add commas for readability.
