Friends— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer the comparison directly with “There is a big difference...” and use correct past tense: “used to meet” or “met,” not “meet.” Avoid repetition such as “in schools, in activities in school-related activities.” Also complete the contrast by explaining how you meet friends online now.

예시: Yes, there is a big difference. In the past, I usually met my friends at school or during school-related activities. Nowadays, we often communicate through messaging apps and social media, although we still meet in person occasionally.

제안: State the main criteria clearly and avoid repetition. Use “an important factor,” rather than “a fact to be considered,” and complete the sentence by explaining that safe, quiet places allow people to communicate comfortably. Include a specific example.

예시: Some places are more suitable because they are safe, comfortable, and quiet enough for conversation. For example, a café is usually better than a busy roadside area because we can talk without being disturbed by traffic noise.

제안: Give a direct preference and improve the phrase “as an introvert person” to “as an introvert” or “as an introverted person.” Explain why one-to-one conversations suit you, and use “more understanding and better listening” for natural phrasing.

예시: As an introvert, I prefer spending time with one close friend. One-to-one conversations feel more relaxed, and we can listen to each other more carefully. I sometimes enjoy group activities, but large groups can be tiring for me.

제안: Use the preposition “to my home,” not “in my home,” and avoid the unnatural phrase “once my home is clean and new.” Explain that you would invite them when your home is clean and comfortable, and mention what you would do together.

예시: Yes, I would definitely invite my friends to my home. I would probably do this when the house was clean and tidy. We could order some food, listen to music, and chat comfortably.

제안: The answer has a clear opinion, but the final sentence is incomplete. Replace “catch you” with the more natural expression “support you” or “be there for you.” Use “I” rather than the general “you,” and add a specific result or example.

예시: Friends are extremely important to me because they give me emotional support. When I have problems, I can talk to them and they listen without judging me. Their encouragement helps me feel less stressed and more confident.

제안: Use a simpler and grammatically consistent structure. “Whenever we have free time” is more natural than “the same available time,” and “as long as it does not interfere with our work or studies” clearly expresses the condition. Avoid self-correction and repetition.

예시: Yes, I often hang out with my friends whenever we have free time. We usually meet at weekends or after class, as long as it does not interfere with our studies. It is a good way for us to relax and catch up.

제안: Complete the sentence and use natural expressions such as “have coffee” instead of “drink coffees.” Explain what you discuss in these places, and use “as a way to spend our free time” rather than “as our pastime” if you want a more conversational style.

예시: We often meet at restaurants or cafés. We usually have coffee or matcha while sharing personal stories and discussing what has happened recently. These places are convenient because they are comfortable and easy to reach.

제안: The main idea is clear, but “have a food trip” is less natural than “go on a food trip” or “try different restaurants.” Remove the repeated “is,” and make the answer more specific by mentioning the kinds of food or conversations you enjoy.

예시: When I spend time with my friends, we often try new restaurants and cafés. We enjoy tasting different dishes, especially desserts and local food. While we eat, we catch up and share personal stories.

제안: Avoid repeating the question in the opening sentence. Use “I have known her since high school,” rather than “since the day of my secondary school,” and add one detail about how you have maintained the friendship or why she is important to you.

예시: Yes, I have a close friend called Jetti, whom I have known since high school. We became friends when we were classmates, and we have stayed in touch ever since. Although we are both busy, we still meet and support each other regularly.

✓ Her name is Jetti, and she has been one of my high-school friends since secondary school.
