Holidays— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is natural and clear, with relevant cultural details and specific activities. To improve, make the response slightly more concise and use one topic sentence followed by one or two supporting details with linking words to enhance coherence. Also correct minor redundancy (e.g., "at that time" after "Spring Festival" is unnecessary).

예시: I went back to my hometown for the Spring Festival to celebrate with my family. During the holiday, we cooked a large family meal and watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV, and then we set off fireworks together.

제안: Good enthusiasm and specific example, but the response is slightly unfocused and contains grammatical errors ("love some holidays", "the seeing pandas"). Stick to one clear topic sentence, then add a linked example. Avoid overlong time references that may be inaccurate for general holidays ("about two months").

예시: Yes, I really like holidays because they give me time for personal projects and travel. For example, last summer I went to Chengdu with my parents; the local food was amazing and seeing pandas up close was unforgettable.

제안: Strong, well-structured answer with clear reason and a concrete example. To reach a higher score, tighten phrasing (avoid repetition like "travel with my friends and family" and "visited" twice) and use a linking phrase to connect reason and example smoothly.

예시: I like the National Day holiday best because its seven days give me enough time to relax and travel. For example, during the last National Day I visited Shanghai with a friend, where we sampled local cuisine and spent a day at Shanghai Disney Resort.

제안: Very good: direct topic sentence, specific activities, and a reason. To improve further, use one linking word to connect reasons and keep sentences concise (avoid repeating "I really love" and "I often").

예시: On holidays I prefer outdoor activities like picnics with my best friend or short trips to nearby mountains. I enjoy hiking and climbing because they keep me fit and let me enjoy nature, and I often photograph spectacular sunsets to remember the views.

제안: Content is relevant, but there are grammar and vocabulary errors ("a television dramas", "I think lay on the sofa and watch the television was really chill") and some informal phrasing. Use a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms, and more natural expressions. Keep it concise and avoid slang like "chill" in formal tests.

예시: Yes, especially when I'm tired, I prefer staying at home because I can relax and have personal space. For example, I often catch up on TV dramas or watch short online videos while lying on the sofa to unwind.

제안: Clear and well-organized answer with good reasons and examples. To improve further, vary vocabulary slightly (avoid repeating "relaxed/leisurely") and use a linking phrase to make the example flow from the reason.

예시: I prefer leisurely holidays because they allow flexible planning and more time for hobbies and travel. For example, I might hike to photograph a sunset or spend a calm day at the seaside reading to unwind.

제안: Good distinction and relevant examples, but there are grammar errors ("I hiking") and slight repetition. Use correct verb forms and a clearer linking structure to compare the two options.

예시: It depends on my mood: I enjoy both. If I want adventure, I go hiking in nearby hills to watch sunsets and take photos; if I want peace, I sit in a quiet park to read or listen to soft music.

× Absolutely, I love some holidays because they are longer than winter break, usually about two months, so I have time for personal projects and travel.

✓ Absolutely, I like some holidays because they are longer than winter break, usually about two months, so I have time for personal projects and travel.

The verb 'love' expresses a stronger, general preference that may conflict with 'some holidays'; using 'like' matches the intended meaning. This is a style/tense nuance: choose verbs that fit frequency and preference. Suggestion: use 'like' or rephrase to 'I love certain holidays' for stronger emphasis.

× The food was amazing and the seeing pandas up close was unforgettable.

✓ The food was amazing and seeing pandas up close was unforgettable.

The phrase 'the seeing pandas' incorrectly uses the definite article with a gerund. Remove 'the' before 'seeing' to form a correct gerund phrase. Suggestion: use 'seeing pandas up close' or 'getting to see pandas up close'.

× I like the national holiday best because it's the longest public holiday lasting 7 days, which gives me enough time to relax and travel with my friends and family.

✓ I like the National Day holiday best because it's the longest public holiday, lasting seven days, which gives me enough time to relax and travel with my friends and family.

'the national holiday' is vague: use the specific name 'National Day holiday' if referring to a specific holiday. Also write numbers as words in formal speech ('seven'). Add a comma before the participle phrase 'lasting seven days' for clarity. Suggestion: specify the holiday name or keep 'the national holiday' if context already clear.

× We spent several days sampling the local cuisine and visited Shanghai Disney Resort.

✓ We spent several days sampling the local cuisine and visiting Shanghai Disney Resort.

Parallel structure: after 'spent several days' the coordinated actions should be gerunds ('sampling' and 'visiting'), not mixing past simple 'visited'. Make both gerunds to maintain grammatical parallelism. Suggestion: maintain parallel verb forms in coordinated lists.

× On holidays, I prefer outdoor activities such as having a picnic in the park with my best friend or taking a short trip to nearby mountains.

✓ On holidays, I prefer outdoor activities such as having a picnic in the park with my best friend or taking a short trip to nearby mountains.

Sentence is correct; no article change needed. (Included to indicate no correction.)

× I really love traveling and climbing because it keeps me fit and lets me enjoy nature, and I often photograph spectacular sunsets to remember the view.

✓ I really love traveling and climbing because they keep me fit and let me enjoy nature, and I often photograph spectacular sunsets to remember the view.

Compound subject 'traveling and climbing' is plural, so use plural verbs 'keep' and 'let' rather than singular 'keeps' and 'lets'. Suggestion: ensure verb agreement with compound subjects.

× Yes, especially when I'm tired. Staying at home means I have more personal space and can relax. For example, I often catch up on a television dramas or watch short online clips to unwind.

✓ Yes, especially when I'm tired. Staying at home means I have more personal space and can relax. For example, I often catch up on television dramas or watch short online clips to unwind.

'a television dramas' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'dramas'. Remove 'a' to use plural 'television dramas' or change to 'a television drama' for singular. Suggestion: match articles to noun number.

× I think lay on the sofa and watch the television was really chill.

✓ I think lying on the sofa and watching television is really relaxing.

Multiple issues: verb forms should be gerunds 'lying' and 'watching' after 'think' as the subject phrase; 'was' tense inconsistent with present opinion—use 'is' for general statement; 'chill' is informal adjective—use 'relaxing' for standard English. Suggestion: use gerunds for activities and consistent verb tense and register.

× When I want adventure, I hiking in nearby hills to watch spectacular sunsets and take photos of the views, whereas when I need to relax, I sit in a quiet park and read a novel or listen to soft music to unwind.

✓ When I want adventure, I hike in nearby hills to watch spectacular sunsets and take photos of the views, whereas when I need to relax, I sit in a quiet park and read a novel or listen to soft music to unwind.

The phrase 'I hiking' incorrectly uses the present participle instead of the base form 'hike' after subject 'I'. Use 'hike' for simple present habitual actions. Suggestion: use correct verb forms for simple present: 'I hike'.
