첫댓글지원님 잘 읽었습니다! -제목에 대한 번역도 있으면 좋을 것 같아요. 시험장에서 혹시라도 깜빡하면 안 되니까요!
-몇몇 부분에서 스펠링 실수가 보였습니다. 첫 문장의 'voter' 그리고 '21th'-> '21st', 'offical'->'official', 'particulary'-> 'particularly' , number, candidate 등등 사소한 스펠링 실수들이 보였습니다. 아마 컴퓨터로 작성하시다보니 나온 실수같은데, 다시 한 번 확인해보시면 좋을 것 같아요!
-23 percent ahead와 같은 표현들에서도 percentage points로 바꾸는 게 좋을 것 같습니다. 23%p 차이가 난다는 건 원문에서 없던 표현 같은데, 추가적으로 분석하신 게 드러나서 좋았어요!
-People in their 20s and 30s are still remain pretty quiet 이 부분도 are still remaining 으로 바꾼다면 더 자연스러울 것 같아요. 고생 많으셨습니다;)
-the higher voter turnout is favorable to the main opposition party --> the 비교, the 비교 형식으로 쓰면 더 자연스러울 것 같아서 "the higher the voter turnout, the more favorable it is to the main opposition party" 이런 식으로 바꿔도 좋을 것 같아요.
-사소한 문법으로는 마지막 문단 "Meanwhile, workers or students abroad who possesses"에서 주어가 복수니 possess로 바꾸면 좋을 것 같습니다.
