Traffic— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is somewhat clear but could be more natural and concise. Avoid filler words like 'umm' and use more precise vocabulary. Also, try to directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence and support it with specific details using linking words for coherence.

예시: Yes, there are many crosswalks around my neighborhood now. Although there were fewer in the past, the city officials have recently added more to improve pedestrian safety.

제안: Your answer is unclear and incomplete. Try to organize your thoughts before speaking, avoid filler words, and complete your sentences. Provide a clear topic sentence and support it with specific reasons or examples, using linking words to connect ideas logically.

예시: Yes, I would like to reduce the size of some large squares in my city because smaller squares could help improve traffic flow. Additionally, expanding certain streets would make commuting easier for drivers.

× Yes, there are some crosswalks around our neighbor.

✓ Yes, there are some crosswalks around our neighborhood.

The word 'neighbor' refers to a person living nearby, while 'neighborhood' refers to the area or district where one lives. Since the sentence talks about crosswalks around a place, 'neighborhood' is the correct plural-related noun to use here.

× Umm, it wasn't that much in the past years.

✓ Umm, there weren't that many in the past years.

The phrase 'it wasn't that much' is incorrect because 'crosswalks' is plural and countable. The correct form is 'there weren't that many' to agree with the plural noun and to use the correct past tense of 'there be' for plural subjects.

× And in these years the city's managers made it for helping people to cross.

✓ And in recent years, the city's managers have made them to help people cross.

The original sentence uses 'made it' which is unclear and 'in these years' is awkward. 'Recent years' is more natural. Also, 'made them' refers to crosswalks (plural), and 'to help people cross' is the correct infinitive form. The present perfect tense 'have made' is appropriate to indicate an action continuing to the present.

× I think in my city we have some enormous squares, which I think, uh, they didn't need to be that large and it could prevent more traffic if it was smaller.

✓ I think in my city we have some enormous squares, which I think, uh, don't need to be that large and could prevent more traffic if they were smaller.

The sentence mixes tenses and pronouns. 'They didn't need' should be 'don't need' to match the present tense context. Also, 'it could prevent' should be 'could prevent' referring to 'squares' (plural), so 'they were smaller' is correct for the conditional clause.

× And I would expand that the city and the streets to, to make.

✓ And I would expand the city and the streets to improve traffic flow.

The original sentence is incomplete and unclear. Removing 'that' and completing the sentence with a clear purpose ('to improve traffic flow') corrects the sentence structure and clarifies the meaning.
