Road— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and use a clear topic sentence, then add one specific detail. Avoid informal fillers like 'yeah' in formal test; use linking words to make it coherent.

예시: Yes, the roads near my apartment are quite busy. My building is on a main road that leads to the University of Queensland in one direction and the city center in the other, so there is heavy traffic in both directions throughout the day and even at night.

제안: Start with a direct answer, then give a clear reason with correct tense and avoid unnecessary comparison unless briefly explained. Use a linking word and correct verb forms.

예시: Yes, pedestrians commonly cross the roads in my city. This is because drivers in Queensland generally obey traffic rules, so they stop at crossings when the pedestrian signal is green, which makes crossing safe and orderly.

제안: Give a clear topic sentence and specific examples; correct grammar (use 'its' not 'their' for city) and finish your example. Use linking words like 'however' and 'for example' to structure the response.

예시: Overall, the road condition in the city is mixed. In residential neighborhoods the roads are generally well maintained; however, in busier areas like routes to the port or industrial zones the surfaces are more worn because of heavy traffic and frequent use by heavy vehicles.

제안: Provide a direct answer and then qualify it with a specific reason and example. Use singular/plural agreement ('takes', 'roads') and avoid absolute statements; mention one area that could improve to show balance.

예시: Generally, I don't think major improvements are needed because the City Council takes good care of the roads, for example by scheduling nighttime maintenance crews to repair damage. However, some busy arterial roads could benefit from more regular resurfacing to reduce potholes.

× So when the crossing side is green, they stopped and let the pedestrian cross.

✓ So when the crossing side is green, they stop and let pedestrians cross.

The sentence mixes present-tense clause 'is green' with past-tense verb 'stopped'. Also 'they' as a general subject requires present simple 'stop'. Use plural 'pedestrians' to match general meaning. Suggestion: keep present simple for habitual actions: 'they stop' and plural noun 'pedestrians' for general statements.

× It's quite good within their neighborhood, but if you look at it from a bigger picture, their condition in Brisbane varies quite a lot depending on how heavy the traffic is and also what kind of vehicles are often used that route.

✓ It's quite good within the neighborhood, but if you look at it from a bigger picture, road conditions in Brisbane vary quite a lot depending on how heavy the traffic is and what kinds of vehicles often use those routes.

The original uses 'their' incorrectly to refer to roads; 'their' is a plural possessive pronoun that doesn't clearly match 'roads' earlier. Replace with 'the' or rephrase to 'road conditions'. Also correct subject-number agreement: 'conditions... vary' (plural). 'What kind of vehicles are often used that route' is awkward passive; change to active 'what kinds of vehicles often use those routes'. Use plural 'kinds' and 'routes' for generalization.

× For example, the roads near the port will be in.

✓ For example, the roads near the port will be in poor condition.

The original sentence is incomplete and lacks an object or complement after 'in'. Add a clear adjective phrase that states the intended condition, e.g. 'in poor condition'. This completes the sentence and clarifies meaning.

× I think the City Council take good care of the road by having nighttime maintenance crew working on them.

✓ I think the City Council takes good care of the roads by having nighttime maintenance crews work on them.

'City Council' is a singular organization and requires third-person singular verb 'takes'. Also 'road' should be plural 'roads' to match 'them'. Use plural 'crews' and infinitive 'work' after 'have' for correct verb form: 'have ... work' or use 'by having ... working'—the revised version uses 'crews work' for clarity.

× And so we have people travel both ways during the day and night.

✓ And so we have people traveling both ways during the day and night.

After 'have' to indicate people performing an action, use the -ing form 'traveling' (present participle) to express ongoing/habitual action in this construction. Alternatively, rephrase: 'and people travel both ways' but keeping 'we have people traveling' is natural.

× My apartment is on the main road which leads to the University of Queensland one way and into the city the other way.

✓ My apartment is on the main road that leads to the University of Queensland one way and into the city the other way.

'Which' is acceptable but 'that' is more natural in defining relative clauses for things; not a strict grammar error but stylistic. No article error actually; this suggestion is optional. If considered within provided list, replace 'which' with 'that' for restrictive clause clarity.
