Mirrors— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and relevant with appropriate detail, but it contains minor grammar errors and some repetition. To improve, make your topic sentence direct, correct verb forms, avoid redundancy (e.g. 'do that'), and use a linking phrase to connect ideas. Keep answers concise (max 4–5 sentences).

예시: I don't look in the mirror very often — usually two or three times a day. For example, I check my appearance in the morning while doing my makeup and styling my hair, and again at night when I remove my makeup and prepare for bed.

제안: Good direct answer with specific examples. To raise your score, combine sentences more smoothly using linking words (e.g. 'for instance' or 'also'), and use precise expressions (e.g. 'a small hand mirror to keep in my bag'). Watch article use ('in my bag' vs 'for my bag').

예시: Yes, I have bought mirrors several times. For instance, I purchased a decorative mirror for the kitchen countertop, and I also bought a small hand mirror to keep in my bag for quick checks when I'm out.

제안: The content is relevant but grammar and clarity need work. Correct article usage ('a mirror') and pronouns, and avoid repetition ('that I use that'). Use linking words (e.g. 'because' or 'so') to show cause and effect. Break into two concise sentences.

예시: No, I usually don't take a mirror with me. When I'm out I use my car's mirror to check my appearance, and at home we have a large bathroom mirror, so I rarely feel the need to carry one.

제안: Good direct response and reasonable reasons. Improve naturalness by choosing collocations (e.g. 'decorative items' or 'decor') and correcting number agreement ('my guests like to use my mirrors' or 'the mirror'). Add a linking phrase to present benefits clearly.

예시: Yes, I use mirrors as decorative items in my home because they make rooms appear larger. Also, my guests often use the mirror to check their appearance when they visit.

× I don't look at myself in the mirror very often, maybe two or three times a day.

✓ I don't look at myself in the mirror very often; maybe two or three times a day.

The original sentence is generally correct in tense but needs a slight punctuation adjustment for clarity. Use a semicolon or a period to separate the two independent clauses. Suggestion: split into two sentences or use a semicolon to improve flow.

× In the morning when I'm getting ready to go to work, I'm doing makeup and my hair in front of the mirror.

✓ In the morning when I'm getting ready to go to work, I do my makeup and my hair in front of the mirror.

The progressive form 'I'm doing' is unnecessary for routine actions. Use the simple present or present continuous with habitual meaning; here 'I do my makeup' is more natural for routine. Also include the possessive 'my' before 'makeup'.

× And at night when I wash my makeup and get ready to the bed, I do that.

✓ And at night when I wash off my makeup and get ready for bed, I do that.

Use the verb phrase 'wash off' to remove makeup, and the correct preposition for preparation is 'get ready for bed' not 'to the bed'. 'Get ready to the bed' is ungrammatical. These are preposition and verb-frame errors.

× Yes, I have bought mirrors a few times.

✓ Yes, I have bought mirrors a few times.

This sentence is grammatically correct. Present perfect 'have bought' is appropriate for past actions with present relevance. No change needed.

× For example, I bought a decorative mirror for our kitchen countertop, and I bought a small hand mirror in my bag to check my appearance when I'm out.

✓ For example, I bought a decorative mirror for our kitchen countertop, and I bought a small hand mirror to put in my bag to check my appearance when I'm out.

The original 'in my bag' after 'bought a small hand mirror' is acceptable but sounds more natural as 'to put in my bag'. This change improves clarity and word order; it is mainly an article/word-order improvement rather than a tense issue.

× No, I usually don't take mirror with me.

✓ No, I usually don't take a mirror with me.

Countable singular noun 'mirror' requires an article. Use 'a mirror' when referring to one mirror in general.

× When I'm out I use my car's mirror to look at my appearance and at home we have a very big mirror in our bathroom that I use that so I don't need to take mirrors with me.

✓ When I'm out, I use my car's mirror to check my appearance, and at home we have a very big mirror in our bathroom that I use, so I don't need to take a mirror with me.

Use 'check my appearance' which is more natural than 'look at my appearance.' Also use singular 'a mirror' because the speaker refers to taking one. Remove the extra 'that' after 'bathroom' or reposition commas for clarity. These corrections address verb choice, article use, and sentence structure.

× Yes, I use mirrors as the creative objects in my house.

✓ Yes, I use mirrors as decorative objects in my house.

'Creative objects' is odd in this context; 'decorative objects' is the correct collocation. No article is needed before 'mirrors' in general statements. This is an adjective choice error (classified under article/adjective usage).

× They make the space look bigger and my guests like to use my mirror to check their appearance when they are in my place.

✓ They make the space look bigger, and my guests like to use the mirror to check their appearance when they are in my place.

Using 'my mirror' is acceptable, but consistent reference to 'the mirror' (a mirror in the house) is more natural. This is a pronoun/determiner choice to improve cohesion. Also add a comma before 'and' to join clauses properly.
