Are you a task-oriented person or a concept oriented person?
<내가 쓴 글>
I think I am a concept oriented person. I don't like a task-oriented person because he is usually very boring. Even though it looks like not finished, sometimes it is all finished as a concept. If someone insists only the tasks to be finished, it would be very uninteresting. How hard I would be if I had to work with such person who is so a task-oriented person. If I finished the works in concept first, it would be very easy to finish the works in task. I think it's always difficult to do it in concept first. However if it is done first, it's so easy to finish the work as a task. So it's more important to do it as a concept. How nice if my boss is a concept oriented person. But when I was in the office, my boss was not. He always asked me to do something done which, I think very useless. I didn't like it, but he always insisted me to do it because it should be done as a task work. If my boss was a concept oriented person, he might never ask me to do it.

I think I am a concept oriented (concept-oriented) person. I don't like (to be) a task-oriented person because he (it) is usually very boring.
Even though it (something) looks like not finished, (unfinished,) sometimes it is all (already) finished as a concept. If someone insists (insisted) only the tasks to be finished, it (should be finished, work) would be very uninteresting. How hard I (It) would be (very hard) if I had to work with such (a) person who is so a task-oriented person. (very task-oriented.) If I finished the works in(X) concept (of some work) first, it would be very easy to finish the works in task. (tasks.) I think it's always difficult to do it in (come up with a) concept first. However(,) if it is done first, it's so easy to finish the work as a task. (tasks.) So it's more important to do it as a concept. (come up with a concept first.)
How nice (it will be) if my boss is a concept oriented (concept-oriented) person. But when I was in the office, (OR: I was employed,) my boss was not. He always asked me to do something done which, I think (that I thought was) very useless. I didn't like it, but he always insisted me to (that I) do it because it should be done as (he thought) a task work. (should be completed first.) If my boss was (had been) a concept oriented (concept-oriented) person, he might (would have) never ask (asked) me to do it.
come up with ~를 생각해내다.
<내가 기억해야 할 것들>
1. I think I am a concept oriented (concept-oriented) person.
오호. 요건 딸려온 특별 멘트를 먼저 봐야겠다.
HYPHEN: Compound adjectives located BEFORE a noun (-)
Examples:
low-calorie food
well-known place
first-class flight
BUT they do not have a hyphen (-) if they are NOT FOLLOWED BY A NOUN:
Examples:
a place that is well known
The flight was first class.
아하. 하이픈은 명사 앞에 있는 복합형용사에 붙는 거구나. low-calorie food, well-known place, first-class flight 요런 것들처럼. 그러나 명사가 딸려오지 않는다면 하이픈이 붙지 않는다. 요렇게. a place that is well known, The flight was first class. 아하 그러니까 기억하자. 명사 앞에 복합형용사가 있을 땐 꼭 하이픈을 써준다. a concept-oriented person. 요렇게!
2. I don't like (to be) a task-oriented person because he (it) is usually very boring.
오호. it로 받고... 그런 사람이 되는 것. to be a task-oriented person...
3. Even though it (something) looks like not finished, (unfinished,) sometimes it is all (already) finished as a concept.
it 가 아니라 something
not finished 가 아니라 unfinished
all 이 아니라 already
4. If someone insists (insisted) only the tasks to be finished, it (should be finished, work) would be very uninteresting.
가정법은 과거를 써줘야지. insisted
to be finished 가 아니라 should be finished
it 가 아니라 work
5. How hard I (It) would be (very hard) if I had to work with such (a) person who is so a task-oriented person. (very task-oriented.)
하, 난 얼마나 엉망의 문장을 썼는가. 함부로 감탄사만 남발하고. 첨삭되어온 멋진 문장을 잘 기억하자. It would be very hard if I had to work with a person who is very task-oriented.
6. If I finished the works in(X) concept (of some work) first, it would be very easy to finish the works in task. (tasks.)
the works in concept first... 요건 그냥 concept으로 쓰면 되는 것을 굳이 work를 쓰고 복잡하게 했구나. the concept of some work first
굳이 the works in task라고 길게 할 필요 없이 그냥 the tasks라고 하면 끝나는 것을. 하하.
7. I think it's always difficult to do it in (come up with a) concept first.
~를 생각해내다는 숙어 come up with를 여기서 써주어야 하는구나. 외우자.
I think it's always difficult to come up with a concept first.
8. How nice (it will be) if my boss is a concept oriented (concept-oriented) person.
그냥 How nice만 쓴다고 감탄문이 되는 게 아니다. How nice it will be... 요케 써주어야지.
9. But when I was in the office, (OR: I was employed,) my boss was not.
내가 회사 다닐 때... 요건 I was employed 요게 더 나은 표현인가 보다.
10. He always asked me to do something done which, I think (that I thought was) very useless.
내가 생각하기에 매우 필요 없다고 생각하는 걸 요리 간단하게 만드는구나.
something that I thought was very useless.

내가 하길 고집했다를 insisted me to do it으로 했건만 그게 아니라 that을 써줘야 하는구나. insisted that I do it... 요렇게. 아하.
무언가 나의 뜻은 흐리멍덩하다. 그러니까 아주 명확하게 뜻을 표현하도록 고쳐주는구나. he thought a task should be completed first.
12. If my boss was (had been) a concept oriented (concept-oriented) person, he might (would have) never ask (asked) me to do it.
가정법에선 이때 과거완료를 써야 하는구나. 잘 기억해두자. If my boss had been a concept-oriented person, he would have never asked me to do it.

Thank you for completing the writing activity. It is greatly appreciated. It is nice that you made an interesting piece of writing. We can see that you try to practice your English as much as you can. Good job!
정말 오랜만에 숙제를 했더니 온통 시뻘겋다. 습관이란 것이 얼마나 무서운가. 해 버릇했을 땐 그냥 그러려니 항상 전화영어가 끝나면 영작을 했었는데 살짝 귀찮기도 하고 미루기 시작하니 그런대로 세월이 휙휙 지나가버리고 나의 영어는 다시 원점이 되어버렸다. 그러나 늦었다고 생각하는 때가 바로 가장 빠른 때라고 하지 않던가. 이제라도 했으니 됐다. 이젠 다시 영작하는 걸 습관화시키는 거다. 오케이. 파이팅!!!
