Chocolate— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons with a linking word. Avoid repeating words and keep it natural. For example, mention a health concern and a personal preference briefly.

例: I don't eat much chocolate. Although it tastes good, I avoid it because it's high in sugar and can cause tooth decay, so I prefer fruits or yogurt as healthier snacks.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence about frequency, then add a brief detail using a linking word to explain why or how often (e.g., once or twice a week). Avoid hesitant fillers like 'uh'.

例: I usually have chocolate as a sweet after dinner, but only once or twice a week because I try to limit sugary foods.

提案: Respond directly and use past-tense phrasing for childhood. Add a specific reason or example and a linking word to make it coherent.

例: No, I didn't eat it often when I was a child. Since my parents encouraged healthy eating, I grew up avoiding sweets and choosing homemade snacks instead.

提案: Begin with a clear topic sentence about popularity, then use linking words to give 2 specific reasons (taste, convenience, emotional appeal). Avoid vague or repetitive phrases and needless sentences.

例: Chocolate is popular worldwide because it tastes good and provides a quick energy boost. Moreover, it's convenient to carry and often given as a treat or gift, which increases its appeal.

提案: Give a direct answer and add one short specific reason or personal detail to enrich the response, using a linking word to connect the ideas.

例: My favourite chocolate is Milky Bar because I like its creamy, milky taste and it's not too bitter, so it suits my sweet tooth.

提案: Start with a direct opinion, then give a specific reason or an example using a linking word. Avoid repeating the word 'gift' and expand slightly on occasions when it's appropriate.

例: Yes, chocolate makes a good gift because it's widely liked and affordable; for instance, people often give boxed chocolates on birthdays or as a thank-you present.

× No, I don't like eating chocolate because it's not good for health and for teeth.

✓ No, I don't like eating chocolate because it's not good for my health or for my teeth.

Use of articles and prepositions: English requires possessive determiners with body parts and health — 'my health' and 'my teeth'. Also use 'or' to list alternatives (health or teeth) rather than 'and' which slightly changes meaning. Suggestion: include 'my' before health and teeth and use 'or' if you mean either effect.

× Uh, mostly after dinner as a sweet.

✓ Uh, I mostly eat it after dinner as a sweet.

Sentence lacks an explicit subject and main verb in present tense. The original is a fragment. Add subject 'I' and verb 'eat' to form a full present-tense sentence that answers 'How often do you eat chocolate?'. Suggestion: use 'I mostly eat it after dinner.'

× No, because from my childhood I am a diet conscious person.

✓ No, because since my childhood I have been a health-conscious person.

Tense and word choice: 'from my childhood I am' is incorrect — use 'since my childhood' with present perfect ('have been') to indicate a state continuing from the past to present. Also 'diet conscious' is more naturally 'health-conscious'. Suggestion: say 'since my childhood I have been health-conscious.'

× Mostly children and women like the chocolate most because it's a good sweet.

✓ Mostly children and women like chocolate the most because it's a good sweet.

Use of definite article 'the' before 'chocolate' is unnecessary when speaking generally. Also word order: 'like chocolate the most' is more natural than 'like the chocolate most'. Suggestion: remove 'the' and place 'the most' after the verb phrase.

× It's easy to carry whenever you want.

✓ It's easy to carry with you wherever you go.

Phrase 'whenever you want' is awkward here. Better structure is 'carry with you wherever you go' to express portability. Suggestion: use 'with you' and 'wherever you go' for clarity.

× You can eat that.

✓ You can eat it.

Pronoun choice and register: 'that' is less natural when referring to the chocolate just mentioned; 'it' is the appropriate pronoun. Also the sentence is short but acceptable; prefer 'it'. Suggestion: use 'it' after referring to a singular item previously mentioned.

× My favorite flavor of chocolate is Milky Bar.

✓ My favorite chocolate flavor is Milky Bar.

Word order: 'favorite chocolate flavor' is more natural than 'favorite flavor of chocolate'. Both are grammatically acceptable, but the corrected version is more idiomatic. Suggestion: use 'My favorite chocolate flavor is...'. Note: US spelling 'favorite' is kept as student used.

× Yes, it's very good to give chocolates as a gift to other because it's easy to gift.

✓ Yes, it's very good to give chocolates as a gift to others because they're easy to gift.

Pronoun number and agreement: 'other' should be plural 'others'. Also 'it's' referring to chocolates (plural) should be 'they're'. 'Easy to gift' is acceptable but 'they're easy to give as gifts' is clearer and more natural. Suggestion: use plural pronouns and match verb agreement: 'others' and 'they are' or 'they're'.
