_The following excerpt is a review made by a humanoid regarding on an essay entitled 'Why Koreans are interesting'. As quoted by the transmitter, the introduction is magnificent and the thesis statement is stated clearly. In other words, readers can comprehend what are the information given out about the Koreans in general. The interpretation is classified using revising sentences such as parallelism, consistent point of view, specific words, active verbs and concise words.

PARALLELISM_

I notice that he doesn't have any problems regarding the issue. He balances the items mentioned properly. Thus, the sentences in his essay are clear and easy to read. For instance:-

"Koreans are interesting because they have their own way of keeping tab of their age, consider our food are similar to them and listen to their particular homegrown music genre which is K-Pop".

CONSISTENCY_

From my perspective, I think the writer did a very good job on using consistent point of view. By the virtue of that, he did not shift verb tenses unnecessarily. As in example:-

"Nobody knows how this peculiar canon started yet it has been carried out for such a long time until it is an official way of counting age in Korea. In conclusion, the bizarre way of counting age in Korea truly amuses me".

SPECIFIC WORDS_

He is really meticulous on elaborating his sentences as he specifically told the readers some usually overlooked yet important points. However, he missed out a few of them on certain occasions such as "K-Pop is certainly food to the ears of all Koreans out there". His writing was correct most of the time, though.

"Traditional Korean meals called hanjeongsik noted for the number of side dishes or banchan that accompany steam-cooked rice".

CONCISE WORDS_

Great things come in small packages. His usage of words in the essay seemingly displays his ability to summarize it into a brief yet comprehensive essay. The example is as follows:-

"The Koreans consider our food is quite similar to theirs".

ACTIVE VERBS_

From this aspect, I think he did use it in some of his sentences. Most of them can stand on their own. Here's an example:-

"We found out that rice in Malaysia is spread evenly to accommodate spaces compared to Korean ones which are more sticky and substantial in appearance".


VARYING SENTENCES_

I notice that the writer uses a lot of coordinating words but in my opinion, I think that subordinating words should be used more frequently. Furthermore, the writer has a tendency to use special opening word or phrase at the beginning of his sentences. Lastly, the writer includes a variety of adjectives and verbs which is very pleasant to the eyes of the readers.
