Tidiness— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make the response more natural and grammatically correct. Use a clear topic sentence and one supporting detail. Avoid redundancy and correct article and noun forms (e.g., "a messy environment" not "a messy surroundings").

예시: Yes, I do. I prefer a tidy environment because it helps me focus better, so I always put things back in their place after using them.

제안: Give a direct answer about your childhood habits, then briefly explain why. Use past tense and more specific details. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and use linking words like "because" or "so" for coherence.

예시: Yes, I did. Because we grew up without our parents, we had to look after ourselves and clean our rooms regularly, so I learned to be organized from an early age.

제안: Start with a clear topic sentence and follow with a specific method. Correct grammar (e.g., "what is necessary" → "that are necessary") and use linking words like "for example" to add details. Be concise and natural.

예시: I keep my study space tidy by only keeping essential items on my desk. For example, I have a laptop, a notebook and a pen holder, and I store everything else in drawers at the end of each day.

제안: Expand slightly with a specific reason or result to make the answer more convincing. Use a topic sentence and one supporting sentence with a linking word like "because" or "so."

예시: Yes, I believe it is necessary because a clean environment reduces stress and helps me concentrate, so I can work more effectively.

× I don't want to have a messy surroundings.

✓ I don't want to have messy surroundings.

The error is using the determiner 'a' with the plural noun 'surroundings'. Remove 'a' so the plural noun stands alone. Alternatively, use the singular form 'a messy surrounding' only if referring to one area, but 'surroundings' (plural) is more natural here.

× We grow up without our parents, so we have no choice but to tidy up and clean ourselves.

✓ We grew up without our parents, so we had no choice but to tidy up and clean ourselves.

The context describes a past situation. The verbs 'grow' and 'have' should be in the past tense to match that context ('grew' and 'had'). Use past tense consistently when describing completed events in the past.

× I keep my workplace tidy by keeping only things in my desk what is necessary.

✓ I keep my workplace tidy by keeping only the things in my desk that are necessary.

Several issues: 'in my desk' is acceptable but 'on my desk' is more natural for items placed on a desk; 'what is necessary' is incorrect relative pronoun usage—use 'that are necessary' to refer to 'things'; also add the definite article 'the' before 'things'. A fully natural correction: 'I keep my workplace tidy by keeping only the things on my desk that are necessary.'

× A clean environment keeps you in a good mood.

✓ A clean environment keeps you in a good mood.

This sentence is grammatically correct and appropriately uses the present simple to express a general truth, so no change is needed.
