Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: 문장이 전반적으로 이해되지만 문법과 어휘 사용에서 자연스럽지 않은 부분이 있고 응답이 약간 장황합니다. 구체적으로는 ‘vocabularies’ 대신 ‘vocabulary’, ‘flash cards’ 대신 ‘flashcards’ 또는 ‘flashcards’로 쓰고, ‘use plan’은 ‘use a planner’ 또는 ‘use an app’으로 고쳐야 합니다. 응답 구조는 직접적인 주제문(능력 인정) → 이유(방법) → 예외(약점과 대처)로 잘 되어 있으므로 문장을 더 간결하게 다듬고 연결어를 사용해 자연스럽게 이어보세요. 또한 문장 수는 3–4문장 이내로 줄이십시오.
Ví dụ: Yes, I'm generally good at memorizing, especially English vocabulary and useful expressions because I study them with flashcards. However, I'm not good at remembering appointments due to my hectic schedule, so I rely on a planner to keep track of them.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Điểm: 64.0Gợi ý: 내용은 명확하지만 문법적 오류와 비문이 여러 곳 있습니다(‘the statistic’ → ‘the statistics’ 또는 ‘a report’; 문장 연결과 시제 사용 개선 필요). ‘After that. I have used a planner for crucial.’은 어색하므로 ‘After that, I started using a planner for important deadlines.’처럼 고쳐야 합니다. 또한 불필요한 짧은 문장들을 하나로 묶어 자연스럽게 말하고, 구체적인 결과나 감정(예: how you fixed it)을 덧붙이면 더 설득력 있습니다.
Ví dụ: Yes. Last year I had to submit my school's statistics to the government, but I missed the deadline because I was very busy. I submitted them late and felt embarrassed. After that, I started using a planner to manage important deadlines.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: 응답이 반복적이고 끝이 불완전하며 구체성이 부족합니다(‘also how I have’는 의미 불명). 문장은 주제문 → 구체적 항목(예: schedule, students' preferences) → 추가 세부사항 순으로 명확하게 구성하세요. 예를 들어 학생들의 선호를 기억하는 이유와 방법을 덧붙이면 더 좋습니다. 불필요한 중복(‘schedule’ 두 번 등)을 피하고 3문장 이내로 정리하세요.
Ví dụ: I need to remember my daily schedule, such as lesson times for my students and school commitments. I also try to remember each student's preferences and personality so I can tailor my lessons. To do this, I take brief notes after class.
How do you remember important things?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: 의도는 분명하지만 표현이 다소 어색합니다(‘important missions’ → ‘important tasks’ 또는 ‘deadlines’, ‘gives our alarm’ → ‘gives me alerts’). 중복된 접속사 'because' 사용을 피하고 이유를 간결히 설명하세요. 또한 앱 사용 방법이나 예시(예: reminders, colour-coding)를 하나 덧붙이면 구체성이 높아집니다.
Ví dụ: I use a planner app to remember important tasks and deadlines. It sends me alerts and reminders, and I also colour-code events so I can see urgent items at a glance.
× Yes, I'm quite good at memorizing things, especially English vocabularies and some useful expressions because now I'm studying with flash cards.
✓ Yes, I'm quite good at memorizing things, especially English vocabulary and some useful expressions because now I'm studying with flashcards.
'Vocabularies' is incorrect in English; 'vocabulary' is an uncountable noun and should be singular. 'Flash cards' is commonly written as one word 'flashcards'. Use of uncountable nouns and compound nouns: say 'vocabulary' and 'flashcards'. Suggestion: learn uncountable noun list and compound noun forms and practice using them in context.
× However, I'm not good at memorizing some plans or appointment with others because my schedule is hectic so I use plan.
✓ However, I'm not good at remembering some plans or appointments with others because my schedule is hectic, so I use a planner.
Issues: 'appointment' should be plural 'appointments' to match 'some'; 'memorizing' is odd with 'plans/appointments' — use 'remembering'. 'use plan' is ungrammatical: use 'a planner' (article + noun). Also add a comma before 'so' for clarity. Suggestion: check agreement between quantifiers ('some') and nouns, choose appropriate verbs ('remember' vs 'memorize'), and include articles with singular countable nouns.
× Yes, I have. Last year I had to submit the statistic from my school to the government.
✓ Yes, I have. Last year I had to submit the statistics from my school to the government.
'Statistic' here should be plural 'statistics' because reports usually consist of multiple data points; 'statistics' is the correct noun. Ensure correct noun form when referring to data collections. Suggestion: memorize common mass/collective nouns like 'statistics' and use plural form when appropriate.
× But at that time I was so busy so I forgot the deadline.
✓ But at that time I was so busy that I forgot the deadline.
Using 'so' twice is repetitive and stylistically awkward. 'So... that' is the correct structure to show cause and effect. Replace the second 'so' with 'that'. Suggestion: learn 'so... that' structure for cause and effect and avoid repeating 'so'.
× So I turned it in late.
✓ So I turned it in late.
Sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed.
× But I was very embarrassed.
✓ I was very embarrassed.
Starting with 'But' in this short context is unnecessary; removing it makes the sentence cleaner. This is a stylistic suggestion rather than strict grammar. Suggestion: avoid starting short standalone sentences with 'But' in formal speech.
× After that. I have used a planner for crucial.
✓ After that, I have used a planner for crucial tasks.
Errors: sentence fragment due to period after 'After that.' should be comma. 'for crucial' is incomplete; need a noun like 'tasks' or 'items'. Use present perfect 'have used' is acceptable to indicate a change continuing to present. Suggestion: ensure clauses are connected properly and that adjectives modify nouns; 'crucial tasks' or 'important items' are correct.
× First I have to remember my schedule, for example, uh, lesson schedule for my students and my school.
✓ First I have to remember my schedule, for example, the lesson schedule for my students and my school.
Missing definite article 'the' before 'lesson schedule' makes the noun phrase sound incomplete. Use 'the lesson schedule' to refer to a specific schedule. Also 'lesson schedule' could be 'lesson schedules' if multiple, but 'the lesson schedule' is fine. Suggestion: use articles before specific noun phrases; practice definite vs indefinite article usage.
× And I have to remember all the personalities and preferences for my students and also how I have.
✓ And I have to remember all the personalities and preferences of my students and also how they learn.
'Personalities and preferences for my students' should be 'of my students'. The clause 'and also how I have' is incomplete and unclear; likely intended 'how they learn' or 'how they are'. Replace with a clear object. Pronoun agreement: refer to students with 'they'. Suggestion: ensure prepositions match verbs ('remember X of someone'), complete clauses, and maintain clear subject references.
× Definitely. I use a planner app.
✓ Definitely. I use a planner app.
This sentence is correct. No change needed.
× It is very efficient because it keeps me aware of the important missions or deadline because it gives our alarm every day and every time.
✓ It is very efficient because it keeps me aware of important tasks and deadlines, and it gives me alarms every day.
Problems: 'aware of the important missions or deadline' is awkward—use 'important tasks and deadlines'. 'because' is repeated; combine clauses with 'and'. 'gives our alarm' is wrong pronoun—should be 'gives me alarms'. 'every day and every time' is redundant; use 'every day' or 'at the right times'. Suggestion: choose natural collocations ('tasks and deadlines'), avoid repeating conjunctions, ensure pronouns match the speaker ('me'), and be concise about frequency ('every day' or 'at scheduled times').
