Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: 응답은 자연스럽고 내용이 명확하지만 몇 가지 개선할 점이 있습니다. 첫째, 문장 길이가 약간 길어 연결사가 부족해 흐름이 어색합니다. 둘째, 구체적인 세부사항(어떤 선물을 사는지, 어떤 음식이나 레스토랑 종류)이 부족합니다. 셋째, 문장 수를 2~3문장으로 유지하면서 더 다양한 어휘(예: celebrate → have a small gathering, treat ourselves)와 연결사(so, then, after that)를 사용하면 더 자연스럽고 논리적인 답변이 됩니다.
Ví dụ: I usually celebrate my birthday with my family. First, my mom and I often go to a department store to pick out a gift, usually clothes or a book that I’ve been wanting, and then we go to a nice restaurant to have dinner together.

Điểm: 72.0Gợi ý: 질문 이해에서 작은 실수가 있었고(‘When you were young?’라는 표현 사용) 자기 시제를 더 일관되게 유지할 필요가 있습니다. 또한 세부사항을 추가해 기억을 더 생생하게 묘사하면 좋습니다(예: 어떤 공원, 어떤 활동을 했는지, 여행의 느낌). 연결사를 사용해 문장들을 자연스럽게 이어 주세요.

Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: 아이디어는 적절하지만 문장이 미완성되어 있고 예시가 불충분합니다. 'give' 뒤에 무엇을 주는지 명확히 해야 하며(예: gifts, red envelopes), 문화적 이유(효도, 가족 중심 문화)를 구체적으로 설명하면 좋습니다. 연결사와 구체적 사례를 추가해 문장을 완성하세요.

× I usually celebrate my birthday with my family. For example, I often go to a department store with my mom to shop for a present and then we visit fancy restaurant to eat dinner.
✓ I usually celebrate my birthday with my family. For example, I often go to a department store with my mom to shop for a present and then we visit a fancy restaurant to eat dinner.
The noun 'fancy restaurant' requires the indefinite article 'a' before it. In English, singular countable nouns generally need an article (a/an/the). Use 'a fancy restaurant' to indicate one restaurant in general. Grammar problem type ID: 22
× When you were young? When I was a child, I usually traveled with my family for my birthday.
✓ When I was a child, I usually traveled with my family for my birthday.
The initial 'When you were young?' is incorrect because the examiner asked 'What did you do on your birthday when you were young?' The student mistakenly repeated the question with 'you'. Remove the redundant 'When you were young?' to correct sentence structure and maintain the first-person perspective. Grammar problem type ID: 26
× For example, I remember when I was 8, we went to Yangzhou.
✓ For example, I remember when I was 8, we went to Yangzhou.
While this sentence is generally acceptable, it is better to add 'the age of' or use 'I was eight' in more formal contexts. Not strictly required, so no change necessary. (No grammar problem detected from the provided list.) Grammar problem type ID: 22
× We visited local parks and ate at fancy restaurants.
✓ We visited local parks and ate at fancy restaurants.
This sentence is correct. 'Fancy restaurants' is plural and needs no article. No change required. (No grammar problem detected from the provided list.) Grammar problem type ID: 22
× When I was a child, celebrating my birthday felt very important to me and I would feel disappointed if there weren't enough kids.
✓ When I was a child, celebrating my birthday felt very important to me and I would feel disappointed if there weren't enough kids.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable. The contraction 'weren't' can be used in conditional subordinate clause; subject-verb agreement is fine. No change required. (No grammar problem detected from the provided list.) Grammar problem type ID: 27
× I think parents birthdays are the most important to celebrate in China because they traditionally tend to respect their parents and family members.
✓ I think parents' birthdays are the most important to celebrate in China because people traditionally tend to respect their parents and family members.
The phrase 'parents birthdays' needs a possessive apostrophe to become 'parents' birthdays' to show the birthdays belong to parents. Also, 'they traditionally tend to respect their parents' is confusing because 'they' refers to 'parents'; change to 'people' to clearly refer to Chinese people in general. Use possessive form to indicate ownership. Grammar problem type ID: 12
× For example, families usually prepare a special dinner and give.
✓ For example, families usually prepare a special dinner and give gifts.
The verb 'give' requires an object. Adding 'gifts' completes the verb phrase and clarifies the meaning. Ensure verbs have necessary objects to avoid sentence fragments. Grammar problem type ID: 26
