Dreams— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details and use a linking phrase. Avoid redundant words and minor grammar errors (e.g., “middle school” not “the middle school,” “solve difficult problems” without “the”).

예시: Yes. I often remember my dreams; once I dreamed I was a middle-school math teacher. I felt excited because I enjoy teaching, especially helping students solve difficult problems, which made the dream feel very rewarding.

제안: Improve coherence and grammar: give a clear topic sentence, combine short fragments into complete sentences, and add a linking phrase to explain why sharing helps relationships. Replace vague phrases like “especially there are funny or interesting” with specific examples.

예시: Yes, I often share my dreams with family and close friends because I find some of them funny or strange. By talking about these dreams, we learn more about each other’s thoughts and feelings, which brings us closer.

제안: Correct grammar and be specific: use plural/singular correctly (“dreams can reflect our minds”), use appropriate verb forms and link your example with a reason. Also avoid small errors like “failing in them.”

예시: Yes, I think dreams can have meanings because they often reflect our worries or memories. For example, when I felt nervous about exams as a student, I frequently dreamed that I was taking an exam and failing, which showed my anxiety about performance.

제안: Strengthen structure and accuracy: open with a direct statement, then explain with one clear reason and an example. Fix minor grammar (“to be the best version of myself”) and avoid repetition of “dream” and “goals” too close together.

예시: Yes, I do. I want to make my dreams come true, but I believe hard work is what turns dreams into reality. For instance, if I want to become a better teacher, I plan lessons carefully and practice different teaching methods to improve over time.

× I felt quite excited because I am fond of teaching and helping students to solve the difficult problems.

✓ I felt quite excited because I was fond of teaching and helping students to solve difficult problems.

Tense consistency error: the sentence begins with past tense 'felt', so the clause 'I am fond of' should be in past tense 'I was fond of' to match. Also 'the difficult problems' uses an unnecessary definite article; use 'difficult problems' for general reference. Suggest keeping verb tenses consistent and avoiding unnecessary articles when speaking generally.

× Especially there are funny or interesting.

✓ Especially when they are funny or interesting.

Sentence fragment and pronoun/reference error: 'Especially there are funny or interesting' lacks a clear subject and verb agreement; 'they' should refer to 'dreams' and a dependent clause like 'when they are funny or interesting' completes the thought. Use a subordinate clause or include the subject for clarity.

× Sometimes dream can reflect on our minds and thoughts.

✓ Sometimes dreams can reflect our minds and thoughts.

Number agreement and preposition use: 'dream' should be plural 'dreams' to match 'sometimes' (general habit). Also 'reflect on our minds' is incorrect collocation; use 'reflect our minds and thoughts' or better 'reflect what is on our minds'. Suggest using plural for general statements and correct collocations.

× For example, when I was younger I felt quite nervous before exams, then I would dream about I am taking an exam and failing in them.

✓ For example, when I was younger I felt quite nervous before exams, and I would dream that I was taking an exam and failing it.

Sequence of tenses and pronoun reference: In reported or past habitual contexts, use past tense throughout: 'would dream that I was taking' not 'dream about I am taking'. Also 'failing in them' is awkward—use 'failing it' (referring to 'an exam') or 'failing them' if referring to 'exams'. Ensure the pronoun agrees with the noun it replaces.

× Yes I do. I've always dreamed about achieving my goals, but I believe efforts are more important than dreams.

✓ Yes, I do. I've always dreamed of achieving my goals, but I believe effort is more important than dreams.

Preposition and article/quantifier use: 'dreamed about achieving' is acceptable but more natural is 'dreamed of achieving'. 'Efforts are more important' is grammatically possible but when speaking generally about the value of working, the uncountable noun 'effort' is more natural. Use 'effort' for general concept and prefer 'dreamed of'.

× If I want to be a best version of myself, I have to work harder.

✓ If I want to be the best version of myself, I have to work harder.

Article error: Use the definite article 'the' with superlative 'best'—'the best version' not 'a best version'. Superlatives require 'the' when specifying a unique degree. Ensure correct article usage with comparatives and superlatives.
