Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. People drink it to wake up in the morning or to relax with friends. It comes from small beans that grow in warm countries and are roasted until they turn dark and fragrant. Different places prepare it in different ways, from strong espresso to sweet iced coffee. For many people, a cup of coffee is a small daily pleasure.

Your response shows good understanding of the article's main points and you've added a thoughtful personal observation about coffee's social aspect. There are a couple of small grammar issues to fix, but overall your response demonstrates clear comprehension and your own relevant thinking.

Comprehension — Understood the article — You correctly identified that coffee is a popular daily drink and captured the idea that people drink it for different reasons (waking up, relaxing with friends). You could have mentioned one more detail like the origin of coffee beans or how it's prepared differently in different places, but your main understanding is accurate.
3.5/4
Response — Clear, relevant response — You clearly expressed your own observation about coffee's social function, which is relevant and thoughtful. However, your response could be more clearly structured — it reads more like a note than a complete thought. Adding a simple connector or developing your idea slightly more would strengthen it.
2.5/3
Language — Grammar & expression — You have two grammar issues that need fixing: 'for people living' is awkward, and 'has not only the taste choice but also' needs adjustment. Otherwise, your vocabulary and sentence structure are appropriate for TOEIC level. See corrections below.
2/3

교정

  • 표현 coffee which is a daily habitual drink for people living → coffee which is a daily drink for many people / coffee that people drink daily
    'for people living' is incomplete and awkward. Use 'for many people' or restructure to 'that people drink daily'. Also, 'habitual drink' and 'daily' say the same thing; choose one.
    💡 규칙: After describing a regular activity, just say 'daily' or 'every day' — don't need to say both 'habitual' and 'daily'.
  • 표현 Coffee has not only the taste choice but also the functions of social interactions → Coffee offers not only different flavors but also serves a social function / Coffee is both a taste choice and a way to socialize
    'has...the taste choice' is unnatural. 'Functions of social interactions' is also awkward phrasing. Use 'serves a social function' or 'helps people socialize' instead.
    💡 규칙: Use verbs like 'serves' or 'provides' to describe what something does, rather than 'has the function of'.

더 나은 표현

  • 💡 Coffee is not just a daily drink; it's also an important part of social life. — This is a clearer, more direct way to state your opinion. The structure 'not just...also' makes your contrast very clear.
  • 💡 Many people enjoy coffee both for its taste and for the social interaction it brings. — This combines both ideas from your response in a more natural, flowing way that sounds more complete.

모범 답안

This article is about coffee and why it is so popular around the world. People drink it for different reasons — to wake up, to relax, or to spend time with friends. The article also mentions that coffee comes from beans grown in warm countries and can be prepared in many different ways. I think coffee is special because it brings people together, not just because it tastes good.
