Machine— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to reduce hesitation sounds like 'uh' and 'umm' to make your answer sound more natural and confident. Also, avoid redundancy by combining ideas more smoothly. For example, you could say: 'My favourite machine at home is the vacuum cleaner because it helps keep my place clean and tidy, which makes the environment feel relaxing and uncluttered.'

例: My favourite machine at home is the vacuum cleaner because it helps keep my place clean and tidy, which makes the environment feel relaxing and uncluttered.

提案: Good answer with clear reasons and example. To improve, use linking words to connect ideas more smoothly, such as 'therefore' or 'so'. Also, try to avoid repeating similar phrases like 'time' too often. For instance, you could say: 'Yes, I think they are incredibly important because they free up our time, so we can use it wisely. For example, we can spend more quality moments with our family, which strengthens our bonds and benefits our relationships.'

例: Yes, I think they are incredibly important because they free up our time, so we can use it wisely. For example, we can spend more quality moments with our family, which strengthens our bonds and benefits our relationships.

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant. To improve, try to avoid hesitation sounds and use plural form correctly ('instructions' instead of 'instruction'). Also, use linking words like 'but' to contrast ideas smoothly. For example: 'It depends on the machine. If I have used similar ones before, I usually don't read the instructions, but if it's a brand new machine, I always read the manual.'

例: It depends on the machine. If I have used similar ones before, I usually don't read the instructions, but if it's a brand new machine, I always read the manual.

提案: Avoid confusion by using the correct word ('instructions' instead of 'menu'). Also, reduce hesitation and combine short sentences for better flow. For example: 'Yes, it's definitely important to read the instructions first because it ensures safety. Even if the machine is easy to use, unexpected dangers can occur, so reading the instructions is wise.'

例: Yes, it's definitely important to read the instructions first because it ensures safety. Even if the machine is easy to use, unexpected dangers can occur, so reading the instructions is wise.

× Uh, my favorite uh, machine at home is umm, vacuum cleaners.

✓ Uh, my favorite uh, machines at home are umm, vacuum cleaners.

The subject 'machine' is singular but 'vacuum cleaners' is plural, causing a mismatch. To correct this, both subject and predicate should agree in number. Since 'vacuum cleaners' is plural, 'machine' should be pluralised to 'machines' and the verb 'is' changed to 'are' to maintain subject-verb agreement.

× Well, it's definitely important to read the menu, uh, first.

✓ Well, it's definitely important to read the manual, uh, first.

The word 'menu' is incorrect in this context because the question and previous sentences refer to reading instructions or manuals for machines. The correct term is 'manual'. This is a lexical choice error rather than a grammar error, but it affects clarity and appropriateness.
