Writing prompt: Book Report of the Beach

Student essay:
This fiction reminds me of a famous classical Chinese writing Peach Blossom Spring which is also an utopian place. The ending of that classical Chinese writing is that the protagonist never finds such a place like paradise again after his leaving. It shows that these utopian places are always unreal and they can't last for ever as people still keep the humanity.
In this fiction, although the beach life seemed peaceful and animated, people were not so perfect there. As more and more tragic events came through, Richard got panicky as well as the camp members. In order to comfort the people, Sal even asked Richard to kill Karl who went mad after an accident with sharks. For this reason, Richard realized the beach was not so paradisiacal anymore and it was going to destruction, then he came to an idea of escaping. At this very moment, he managed to kill Christo who was saved from the accident with sharks by him but dying, in order to make his friend Jed willing to escape from the beach with him. The desire makes people do crazy things. Sal wanted Karl's death to keep the camp steady, and Richard killed the one he just saved to go back home. How unbelievable it is! That is one of the reasons why utopia is so unattainable. People get desire, they curse, they control others, and they kill. People also keep humanity, they trust others blindly, and they remain the viciousness without realizing. Eventually, the camp dismissed and the members just went back to the world.
Also, I think the beach is a way people escape from reality. They wish to isolate from the outside world but apparently they couldn't. They had the Rice Run, and they also need to buy some necessaries from outside for the celebration meal. They couldn't isolate from the outside completely. Richard realized this first so he determined to go back to reality. More and more people got off the island then. The camp dismissed. It disappeared as if it had never existed. Just like a beautiful dream.
Utopia won't last long.

error_description: Determiner Error: According to English pronunciation rules, when an indefinite article is followed by a word starting with a vowel sound, the indefinite article “an” should be used.

Therefore, 〈an〉 needs to be changed to 『a』 here to conform to English pronunciation rules.

error_type: PoS Confusion Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: PoS Confusion Error: According to English grammar rules, the linking verb “remain” needs to be followed by an adjective to express 'to keep/continue to be...'.

error_type: Verb Voice Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Verb Voice Error: According to the original sentence's meaning, it intends to express 'the camp was dismissed'; there is a passive relationship between 〈the camp〉 and the predicate verb 〈dismissed〉. 'Dismissing' is an action initiated by a human agent, and 〈the camp〉 is the recipient of the action. Therefore, 『was』 needs to be added before the predicate verb 〈dismissed〉 here to form the simple past passive voice to match the original meaning.

error_type: Auxiliary Error
error_severity: 5
error_description: ① Preposition Error: According to English fixed phrases, the pattern “a way for someone to do something” means 'a method for someone to do something'. Therefore, the preposition 『for』 needs to be added before 〈people〉 here to complete the sentence pattern and conform to the fixed phrase; ② Auxiliary Error: Based on the preceding modification, 〈escape〉 here is equivalent to “do”, so 『to』 needs to be added before 〈escape〉 to form a to-infinitive to conform to English fixed phrases.

correct_sentence: They wish to isolate themselves from the outside world but apparently they can't.
correction: themselves
error_type: Pronoun Error

error_type: Auxiliary Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Auxiliary Error: According to the context, the verb tense needs to be simple present. “couldn't” is the negative contraction of a modal auxiliary verb in the simple past tense; there is an auxiliary error here. 〈could〉 needs to be changed to 『can』 to form the correct negative contraction of the modal auxiliary verb with “n't” to match the contextual tense.

error_severity: 3
error_description: Verb Tense Error: According to the context, the original text describes a regular action, requiring the use of the simple present tense of the verb.

correct_sentence: They have the Rice Run, and they also need to buy some necessities from outside for the celebration meal.

The correct spelling of the English word 'necessity' is “necessity”, and its plural form is made by 'changing y to i and adding es', i.e., “necessities”. Therefore, the misspelled 〈necessaries〉 needs to be changed to 『necessities』 to match the original meaning and English spelling conventions.
