Machine— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 你的回答有語法錯誤，應該說 "in these hot summer days"，並且可以多加一些細節來豐富內容，例如為什麼喜歡空調。

例: My favourite machine at home is definitely my air conditioner because it keeps me cool and comfortable during these hot summer days.

提案: 回答中重複使用 "help us very much"，建議使用不同的詞彙來避免冗贅，並且可以加入更多具體原因。

例: Yes, washing machines and sweeping machines are very important because they save us a lot of time and effort, especially when we are tired after work.

提案: 回答結構良好，但 "machine code NFC" 這部分表達不夠清楚，建議用更簡單明確的詞彙說明。

例: Well, it depends. If I'm not familiar with a machine, I usually read the instructions. For example, I once used an NFC-enabled device and reading the instructions really helped me understand how to use it.

提案: 回答中有語法錯誤，如 "use using"，且句子較長且不夠流暢，建議簡化句子並修正語法。

例: No, I don't think reading instructions is always necessary because if we are familiar with the machines, we can save time by not reading them.

× It is definitely my air conditioner in this hot summer days.

✓ It is definitely my air conditioner in these hot summer days.

The phrase 'this hot summer days' mixes singular 'this' with plural 'days'. 'Days' is plural, so the correct demonstrative adjective is 'these'. In English, 'this' is used for singular nouns and 'these' for plural nouns. Therefore, 'these hot summer days' is correct.

× Yes, those machines help us very much. Since we got exhausted after work, those machines can help us very much.

✓ Yes, those machines help us very much. Since we get exhausted after work, those machines can help us very much.

The phrase 'we got exhausted' uses past tense 'got' which is inconsistent with the general present tense context. The sentence talks about a habitual situation, so present tense 'get' should be used. This is a tense consistency issue but mainly relates to present tense usage.

× Yes, those machines help us very much. Since we got exhausted after work, those machines can help us very much.

✓ Yes, those machines help us a lot. Since we get exhausted after work, those machines can help us a lot.

The phrase 'help us very much' is grammatically correct but 'help us a lot' is more natural and commonly used in spoken English to express a large degree of help. 'Very much' is often used with verbs of liking or loving, while 'a lot' is better with verbs like 'help'.

× For example, I once used a machine code NFC and I don't know how to use it, so reading an instruction really helped me.

✓ For example, I once used an NFC machine code and I didn't know how to use it, so reading the instructions really helped me.

The phrase 'a machine code NFC' is awkward; 'an NFC machine code' is clearer. Also, 'reading an instruction' is incorrect because 'instruction' is usually plural or uncountable in this context, so 'the instructions' is correct. Additionally, tense consistency requires 'didn't know' instead of 'don't know' because the action happened in the past.

× For example, I once used a machine code NFC and I don't know how to use it, so reading an instruction really helped me.

✓ For example, I once used an NFC machine code and I didn't know how to use it, so reading the instructions really helped me.

The sentence describes a past event, so the verb 'don't know' should be in past tense 'didn't know' to maintain tense consistency.

× No, I don't think reading instructions should be a necessary step before we use using the machines, because sometimes we're familiar with those machines.

✓ No, I don't think reading instructions should be a necessary step before we use the machines, because sometimes we're familiar with those machines.

The phrase 'use using the machines' is incorrect; 'use the machines' is correct. Also, 'a necessary step' is correct here, so no quantifier error in that part. The main issue is the redundant 'using' after 'use'.

× No, I don't think reading instructions should be a necessary step before we use using the machines, because sometimes we're familiar with those machines.

✓ No, I don't think reading instructions should be a necessary step before we use the machines, because sometimes we're familiar with those machines.

The phrase 'use using the machines' is a redundancy and incorrect sentence structure. The verb 'use' should not be followed by 'using'. Removing 'using' corrects the sentence structure.

× Then we don't have to waste time to read those instructions.

✓ Then we don't have to waste time reading those instructions.

The phrase 'waste time to read' is incorrect. In English, after 'waste time', the gerund form (verb + -ing) is used, so 'waste time reading' is correct.
