Birthday— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is generally clear and relevant, but there are some language errors and slight redundancy. For example, "I took a place to exercise daily" should be "I made a pledge to exercise daily." Also, avoid repeating similar ideas like "I have maintained it till now" and "I always go to the gym" without linking them properly. Try to use linking words such as "since then" or "as a result" to make your answer more coherent. Additionally, aim to use a wider range of vocabulary and correct grammar.

예시: I am quite introverted, so I don't usually celebrate my birthday with parties. However, I like to make a personal pledge on that day. For instance, last year I promised to exercise daily, and since then, I have consistently gone to the gym to keep that commitment.

제안: Your answer is clear and well-structured with relevant details. To improve, try to use more varied vocabulary and linking words to make your response more natural and engaging. For example, instead of repeating "used to," you can say "I often" or "we would." Also, adding a reason or a feeling about those celebrations can enrich your answer.

예시: When I was a child, I often celebrated my birthday with my friends by going to the park to play games. In the evening, we would cut the cake and share candies, which made the day very joyful and memorable for me.

제안: Your answer expresses a clear opinion, but there are grammatical errors and the tone is somewhat negative and could be softened. For example, "I don't thinks" should be "I don't think." Also, try to explain your opinion with more balanced reasoning and use linking words to connect your ideas. Avoid overly harsh statements and try to sound more natural and polite.

예시: I don't think celebrating birthdays is very important to me because, in my opinion, it's just another day. However, some people enjoy celebrating as a way to appreciate life and spend time with loved ones.

제안: Your answer is inappropriate and disrespectful. In the IELTS speaking test, it is important to remain polite and answer the question as best as you can, even if you are unsure. You can say that you are not familiar with the culture but can give a general opinion or ask for clarification. Avoid using offensive language or insults.

예시: I'm not very familiar with Chinese culture, but I believe that in many countries, celebrating the birthdays of close family members, like parents or grandparents, is considered important.

× Like for example on my last birthday I took a place to exercise daily and I have maintained it till now.

✓ Like for example on my last birthday I took a pledge to exercise daily and I have maintained it till now.

The word 'place' is incorrect here; the correct word is 'pledge', which is the past participle form used to indicate a solemn promise. The error is a vocabulary misuse rather than a grammar tense issue, but it relates to the correct use of the past participle form in context.

× No, I don't thinks that celebrating the birthday is very important to me because in my opinion it is just another day.

✓ No, I don't think that celebrating the birthday is very important to me because in my opinion it is just another day.

The auxiliary verb 'do' in 'don't' already indicates the third person singular negation, so the main verb should be in base form 'think' not 'thinks'. Using 'thinks' here is incorrect subject-verb agreement.
