GemmPenTask A2: Comment Writing - AI in the Workplace
At this point in time Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most talked about 1 Topiks. For this matter the question: Should AI be included in the daily 5 worklife? is bigger than ever. So 2 lets have a look at both sides.
9 First of all, one of the strongest arguments against the usage of AI in 5 worklife is the potential loss of jobs. 6 Many employees fear that AI could replace them in their positions. For example, in the 7 manufacturing industry, robots have already taken over 6 many tasks that were previously done by humans.
9 Furthermore, 3 there is also concerns about data privacy. 8 Companies that use AI systems collect large amounts of personal data, which could be misused. A recent study showed that 67% of employees are worried about how their data is being used by AI systems at work.
9 However, looking at the other side, 4 AI offer 6 many benefits for the workplace. It can automate 7 repetitive tasks and allow employees to focus on more 7 creative and strategic work.
One single pattern, subject-verb agreement, causes 4 of your errors. Learning to spot it takes about 10 minutes and could move your grammar score from 7 to 10. Start with Exercise 1 on page 3.
GemmPenGood news first: your reader always understands what you mean. That matters a lot. Now here is something interesting. You made the same type of grammar mistake four times in your text. It is called subject-verb agreement. This is one of the most common patterns at this level, and here is why it is great news: once you learn to spot it, four errors disappear in one go.
You are already doing something that few students at your level can do. Look at this sentence you wrote: a complex sentence with a relative clause. Nice work. The reason you scored 9 instead of higher is that most of your other sentences follow the same pattern: subject first, then verb, then object. Your reader notices the repetition. The fix is simple, and you already have the skills for it.
This is your strongest category, and you should feel good about that. Look at what you already do well. That is precise, confident language. You are close to the next level. The difference between 10 and 12 points is often just three or four word swaps in the whole text.
You clearly understand the topic. "data privacy", "manufacturing industry", "automation" are all used correctly. Where you can grow is in your connectives. Right now you use three: "first of all", "furthermore", "however". They work, but your reader notices the repetition. Think of connectives like spices. The same three get boring, but adding one or two new ones changes the whole flavor.
You present two clear counter-arguments with claims, reasons, and examples. That is solid argumentation. Your own side is started but your text appears truncated. What you have shows good structure: each argument follows the Claim-Reason-Example pattern. To reach a higher score, make sure all three own arguments are fully developed with examples.
Your text has a clear introduction that names the topic and previews both sides. Counter-arguments come before your own position, which is the right order. The bridge between the two sides ("However, looking at the other side") works but could be stronger. Your paragraph organization is logical and easy to follow.
GemmPenEvery exercise below comes from your own text. Work through them at your own pace, and check your answers in the GemmPen app. You can try as many times as you like.
Each sentence is based on your exam. Fill in the correct verb form.
a) "There ____ (is / are) also concerns about data privacy in the workplace."
b) "Artificial Intelligence ____ (offer / offers) many benefits for modern companies."
c) "The use of AI, along with robotics, ____ (change / changes) how we work."
d) "Each of the employees ____ (fear / fears) being replaced by a machine."
These are from your exam. Rewrite each one so it starts with something other than the subject.
a) Your sentence: "AI can automate repetitive tasks and allow employees to focus on creative work."
b) Your sentence: "Many employees fear that AI could replace them in their positions."
You used "first of all", "furthermore", and "however" in your text. Replace each one with a stronger alternative.
These sentences are copied directly from your exam. Each one has something that could be improved. Can you spot it?
a) "AI is one of the most talked about Topiks."
b) "So lets have a look at both sides."
c) "Should AI be included in the daily worklife?"
