Hometown— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Correct content but improve grammar and fluency. Combine sentences and fix verb agreement: say “it is known as” and add a brief linking phrase. Keep it concise (max 2–3 short sentences).

예시: My hometown is Busada, a small city in central Algeria. It is known as the “City of Happiness” because of its friendly atmosphere.

제안: Good points and specific details, but fix grammar (articles and verb agreement), remove redundancy, and use linking words for coherence. Keep to 3–4 sentences and vary vocabulary (peaceful, calm, unpolluted).

예시: I like my hometown mainly because my family lives there and the atmosphere is very peaceful. Because life moves more slowly, I can relax easily, and the friendly people, fresh air, and many green spaces make it pleasant to spend time outdoors.

제안: Answer is clear and relevant but use present perfect for duration questions and avoid informal phrasing like “up there.” Use one combined sentence with a clear time reference.

예시: I lived there until I was 18; after I completed my baccalaureate, I moved to Algiers to continue my studies.

제안: Good ideas and specific reasons; improve sentence grammar (missing articles and verb forms) and add a linking phrase. Limit to 2–3 concise sentences and use cohesive devices like “because” and “also.”

예시: Yes, I think it is a good place for young people because it has schools, sports facilities, and many spots to relax with friends. It is also safe and relatively inexpensive, so young people can live comfortably.

× My hometown is Busada. It's a small city located in central Algeria and it known as the City of Happiness.

✓ My hometown is Busada. It's a small city located in central Algeria and it is known as the City of Happiness.

Missing verb 'is' before 'known' makes the clause incorrect. Add 'is' to form the passive construction 'it is known'. Also ensure 'central Algeria' is fine without an article. Suggestion: include the verb 'is' to complete the sentence and express the passive voice correctly.

× I like my hometown because my family lives there. I also like the peaceful environment atmosphere because life and the time seems to move more slowly which help me relax.

✓ I like my hometown because my family lives there. I also like the peaceful atmosphere because life and time seem to move more slowly, which helps me relax.

Redundant noun phrase 'environment atmosphere' should be 'atmosphere' or 'environment'. Subject-verb agreement errors: 'life and the time seems' should be 'life and time seem' because the compound subject is plural. 'which help me relax' must be 'which helps me relax' because the relative pronoun refers to the singular idea of the slower pace; keep verb singular or rephrase to refer to 'they help'. Suggestion: use a single noun ('atmosphere'), match verb number to the subject, and ensure relative clause verb agrees with its antecedent.

× The people are friendly and there is a fresh air and many green spaces.

✓ The people are friendly and there is fresh air and many green spaces.

'Fresh air' is an uncountable noun and should not take the indefinite article 'a'. Remove 'a' to say 'fresh air'. The rest of the sentence is fine. Suggestion: avoid using articles with uncountable nouns like 'air'.

× I lived up there until I was 18. After getting my baccalaureate, I moved to Algiers for my studies.

✓ I lived there until I was 18. After getting my baccalaureate, I moved to Algiers for my studies.

The phrase 'lived up there' is colloquial and 'up' is unnecessary; it may be acceptable informally but better to say 'lived there'. Tense usage (simple past) is appropriate for completed actions, so keep past tense. Suggestion: remove unnecessary adverb 'up' for clarity.

× Yes, I think my hometown is a good place for young people because it has school, sports facilities and many places to relax with friends.

✓ Yes, I think my hometown is a good place for young people because it has schools, sports facilities and many places to relax with friends.

Countable noun 'school' should be plural (schools) when speaking generally about available educational institutions. Use plural to match the general meaning of 'it has' multiple facilities. Suggestion: use plural forms for countable nouns when referring to more than one or to the general availability.

× It also safe place and not too expensive so they can live comfortably.

✓ It is also a safe place and not too expensive, so young people can live comfortably.

Missing verb 'is' and missing article 'a' before 'safe place' make the sentence ungrammatical. Also 'they' is vague; use 'young people' to match topic. Add a comma before 'so' for clarity. Suggestion: include the verb 'is', add the article 'a', and use a clear subject for pronouns.
