Library— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear, relevant and well-structured with a topic sentence and supporting details, but you can improve by varying sentence openings and adding a brief linking phrase to make it more cohesive. Also avoid repeating obvious information (e.g. "I'm at school during weekdays") and aim for slightly more natural phrasing.

예시: I usually visit the library at weekends because weekdays are busy with school and extra lessons. For example, I typically spend two to three hours reading English books and novels, which really helps me improve my vocabulary and reading speed.

제안: Good direct answer with specific examples. Reduce fillers like "uh" and use a linking word to connect activities to purpose. Slightly more varied vocabulary or a concise outcome (what this achieves) would raise your score.

예시: I usually read and take notes in the library. For instance, I read psychology books to understand human behaviour and I study English grammar and vocabulary by keeping vocabulary lists, which helps me remember new words more effectively.

제안: The answer is honest and relevant but a bit long and slightly repetitive. Start with a concise topic sentence, then add one or two brief supporting reasons with a linking word. Try to include a short reflection or contrast to make it more engaging.

예시: No, I didn't visit the library much as a child because I preferred playing outside and hadn't developed reading habits. However, I started reading more in my teens when school required it.

제안: Clear and relevant answer with a good example. Remove filler words like "uh" and add a linking phrase to show balance (e.g. "on the other hand") or provide a brief statistic or contrast to strengthen your point.

예시: I think it depends, but many Chinese children don't visit libraries often because they spend a lot of time on phones and online resources. On the other hand, some still use school libraries regularly for homework and projects.

× I often go to the library on weekends because I'm at school during weekdays and I have extra lessons.

✓ I often go to the library on weekends because I'm at school on weekdays and I have extra lessons.

Use of preposition 'during' is not incorrect but 'on weekdays' is the standard collocation with 'school'; this is a preposition choice related to present time expressions. Replace 'during weekdays' with 'on weekdays' for natural present-tense expression and collocation. Suggestion: Use 'on weekdays' when referring to routine days of the week.

× I usually, uh, read and take notes in the library.

✓ I usually read and take notes in the library.

The filler 'uh' is not a grammatical error but should be removed for a written answer. The sentence structure is correct; removing 'uh' yields a clearer present simple routine sentence. Suggestion: Omit fillers in written responses to improve clarity.

× For example, I often read psychology books to learn about human behavior, and I also study English grammar and vocabulary by reading novels and making vocabulary lists.

✓ For example, I often read psychology books to learn about human behavior, and I also study English grammar and vocabulary by reading novels and making vocabulary lists.

This sentence is grammatically correct in present simple to describe habitual actions; no change is necessary. Included here to confirm correct tense usage. Suggestion: None.

× No, I didn't go to the library much when I was a child because I preferred playing outside and found reading boring, and I also hadn't developed good reading habits at that age.

✓ No, I didn't go to the library much when I was a child because I preferred playing outside and found reading boring, and I also hadn't developed good reading habits at that age.

The sentence correctly uses past simple for 'didn't go', 'preferred', 'found' and past perfect 'hadn't developed' to indicate a state before another past time. No grammatical correction needed. Suggestion: None.

× Uh, I think it depends on the child, but many Chinese kids don't visit libraries often because they spend a lot of time on phones and online resources.

✓ I think it depends on the child, but many Chinese kids don't visit libraries often because they spend a lot of time on their phones and using online resources.

Remove the filler 'Uh' for clarity. Add possessive 'their' before 'phones' and rephrase 'on phones and online resources' to 'on their phones and using online resources' for natural collocation and clarity in present simple habitual context. Suggestion: Use 'their phones' and pair 'spend time on' with 'using' for online activities.

× For instance, students often use apps for studying and reading instead of borrowing physical books.

✓ For instance, students often use apps to study and read instead of borrowing physical books.

The phrase 'use apps for studying and reading' is understandable but more natural is 'use apps to study and read'. This uses the infinitive purpose structure ('to study') rather than 'for -ing', which sounds slightly more concise and idiomatic here. Suggestion: Prefer 'use apps to + verb' when stating purpose in present habitual contexts.
