Do you work or are you a student?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 答えは明確で情報もあるが、表現にやや不自然さと反復(architecture, architecture design)がある。より自然で流暢に聞こえるように語順を改善し、語彙の重複を避け、短い追加説明をつけると良い。例を1つ入れて具体性を高めるとさらに良い。
Example: I work as an architect in a Tokyo design office. I mainly design large-scale buildings, such as skyscrapers and mixed-use complexes, and recently I worked on a 40-storey residential tower.
Where do you work?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 文章にいくつか文法ミスと冗長表現("architecture design office"や"so quiet quiet")がある。場所の説明と対比(繁忙な街と静かな職場)を論理的に結びつけるために接続詞を使い、発音上の重複は避ける。語彙は簡潔にして、具体的な情報(ビルの種類や通勤時間など)を加えると説得力が増す。
Example: I work at an architectural firm in Chiyoda, an area full of office buildings. Although the neighborhood is busy, our office itself is quite peaceful, which makes it easy to concentrate.
Is it a good place to work?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 答えは簡潔で理由も適切に示している。自然で効果的だが、より流暢にするため接続語(for example, because)や一つの付加情報(時間帯や季節)を加えると良い。また文をつなげて1〜2文にまとめると効果的。
Example: Yes, it's a great place to work because we have a large window that looks over cherry trees; in spring the view of the blossoms is especially lovely and really brightens the office.
Would you like the place where you work?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 意味は伝わるが語彙の繰り返し("atmosphere"が二回)や不自然なフレーズ("abundant nature")がある。より自然な表現に言い換え、具体例(光の入り方や近くの公園など)を加えると良い。接続語で理由を明確に結ぶと会話が滑らかになる。
Example: Yes, I really like it because the office feels bright and calm, and there are parks and trees nearby that make the area feel more natural.
What are your future work plans?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: 内容に伝えたい意図(ロンドンで働きたい)があるが、多数の語彙・文法ミス("architecture farm upload", "architecture farms")と不自然な表現があり、意味が不明瞭になっている。明確な職種(firm/practice)と理由を正しい語で示し、計画(勉強や具体的な行動)を論理的に接続して話す練習が必要。短くて明確な文を使い、接続詞で流れを作ること。
Example: I would like to work at an architectural firm abroad, particularly in London, because it has many world-famous practices and diverse projects. For that reason I am studying English intensively and taking steps such as attending design workshops and networking online.
× It's so busy place, but my working condition is quite good because my office is so quiet quiet.
✓ It's a busy place, but my working conditions are quite good because my office is very quiet.
'Busy place' needs the indefinite article 'a' before a singular countable noun. 'Working condition' should be plural here to match the general idea of conditions at work. Repeating 'quiet' is redundant; use an adverb like 'very' to modify 'quiet'. Suggestions: add 'a' before 'busy place', change 'working condition' to 'working conditions', remove duplicate 'quiet' and use 'very quiet'.
× This is mainly because there is a large window in our office and we can enjoy looking at beautiful cherry blossoms through the window.
✓ This is mainly because there is a large window in our office and we can enjoy looking at the beautiful cherry blossoms through it.
When referring back to a specific thing already mentioned, use the definite article 'the' before 'beautiful cherry blossoms'. Also, avoid repeating 'window' twice; use the pronoun 'it' to refer to the window. Suggestions: change 'beautiful cherry blossoms' to 'the beautiful cherry blossoms' and replace the second 'window' with 'it'.
× Yes, I like the place where I work. This is because the total atmosphere is quite nice, with bright atmosphere and abundant nature.
✓ Yes, I like the place where I work. This is because the overall atmosphere is quite nice, with a bright ambiance and abundant greenery.
'Total atmosphere' is unnatural; use 'overall atmosphere'. 'Bright atmosphere' needs an article and a more natural noun like 'ambiance'. 'Abundant nature' should be 'abundant greenery' to sound natural in English. Suggestions: replace 'total' with 'overall', add 'a' before 'bright', change 'atmosphere' to 'ambiance', and use 'greenery' instead of 'nature'.
× I would like to work at an architecture farm upload.
✓ I would like to work at an architecture firm abroad.
The original contains incorrect words 'farm' and 'upload' instead of 'firm' and 'abroad'. 'Architecture firm' is the correct collocation for a company where architects work. 'Abroad' means in another country and fits the context of wanting to work in London. Suggestions: replace 'farm' with 'firm' and 'upload' with 'abroad'.
× Particularly I want to work in London.
✓ In particular, I want to work in London.
'Particularly' is not incorrect but 'In particular' is a more natural transitional phrase at the start of the sentence. Also add a comma after the phrase. Suggestions: use 'In particular, I want to work in London.'
× This is because there are a lot of famous architecture farms there.
✓ This is because there are a lot of famous architecture firms there.
'Architecture farms' is incorrect; the correct term is 'architecture firms'. 'A lot of' is acceptable here. Suggestions: replace 'farms' with 'firms'.
× That's why I study English as hard as I can and I started to try.
✓ That's why I study English as hard as I can and I have started trying.
The sentence mixes present simple 'study' with awkward past simple 'started to try'. Use present perfect 'have started' to connect past action to present, and use the gerund 'trying' after 'start'. Suggestions: use 'have started trying' or 'have started to try' and prefer 'trying' for natural flow.
× I mainly design large scale buildings such as skyscrapers and mixed-use buildings.
✓ I mainly design large-scale buildings such as skyscrapers and mixed-use buildings.
Add a hyphen in the compound adjective 'large-scale' when it precedes a noun. This is not a subject-verb agreement error strictly but falls under punctuation of compound adjectives; however it affects grammar presentation. Suggestion: hyphenate 'large-scale'.
