Library— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is generally clear but a bit long and slightly repetitive. Try to make your response more concise and natural by avoiding redundancy and using linking words to connect ideas smoothly. Also, watch out for small grammar slips like 'go use' which should be 'go to'.

例: I used to go to the library when I was at school, but now I mostly use digital books. However, if I need a physical copy, I definitely prefer going to the library.

提案: Your answer addresses the question but contains some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. Try to use clearer sentence structures and linking words to improve coherence. Also, be careful with word choice, for example, 'under doing undergraduates' is unclear and should be corrected.

例: I usually go to the library when I need a physical copy of a book or newspaper. During university, I rarely studied there; instead, my peers and I used the discussion rooms for group work.

提案: Your answer is somewhat repetitive and has some grammatical mistakes. Try to combine sentences to avoid redundancy and improve fluency. Also, use linking words to make your answer more coherent and natural.

例: Yes, there was a library near my home, so I often went there to borrow books to read at home. I also enjoyed reading and referring to books in the library itself.

提案: Your answer is hesitant and lacks clarity. Try to give a more direct response and avoid filler words like 'uh'. Also, distinguish between kids and undergraduate students clearly, and use linking words to improve coherence.

例: I'm not very familiar with Chinese children, but I believe many of them visit libraries regularly. From what I've seen, undergraduate students often use libraries for reading and research.

× I used to go to the library when I was at school, but now I mostly use digital versions of the books so I rarely go use the library at the moment and if I need a physical copy of a book I will definitely prefer the library.

✓ I used to go to the library when I was at school, but now I mostly use digital versions of the books so I rarely go to the library at the moment and if I need a physical copy of a book I will definitely prefer the library.

The phrase 'go use the library' is incorrect because 'go' should be followed by 'to' plus the base verb or noun. The correct form is 'go to the library'. This is a common error involving verb + -ing form or verb + to-infinitive usage.

× I rarely use the library to study, especially when I was at my university under doing undergraduates.

✓ I rarely used the library to study, especially when I was at university doing my undergraduate studies.

The sentence mixes present tense 'use' with a past time reference 'when I was at my university'. The verb should be in past tense 'used' to match the time frame. Also, 'under doing undergraduates' is incorrect; it should be 'doing my undergraduate studies'.

× We use the discussion room to have discussions with my peer.

✓ We used the discussion room to have discussions with my peers.

The pronoun 'my' is inconsistent with 'we'. It should be 'our peers' or simply 'peers'. Also, 'peer' should be plural 'peers' to indicate multiple people. The verb tense should also match past context: 'used' instead of 'use'.

× Yes, there was a library close to my home, so I used to go there and get some books, borrow some books.

✓ Yes, there was a library close to my home, so I used to go there and borrow some books.

The phrase 'get some books, borrow some books' is redundant. 'Borrow some books' is sufficient and correct. Also, 'get' is vague and unnecessary here.

× They are to read at home.

✓ They were to be read at home.

The pronoun 'They' refers to 'books' but the sentence structure is incorrect. The correct passive form is 'They were to be read at home' to indicate purpose.

× Even I enjoyed reading in the library and referring the books.

✓ I even enjoyed reading in the library and referring to the books.

The adverb 'even' should be placed before the verb 'enjoyed' for correct emphasis. Also, 'referring the books' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'referring to the books' as 'refer' requires the preposition 'to'.

× I haven't thought about it before because I'm not much familiar with Chinese kids, but I do think they go to the library quite often because I have seen people, uh, mostly the undergraduate students going there and reading, referring books from the library.

✓ I haven't thought about it before because I'm not very familiar with Chinese kids, but I do think they go to the library quite often because I have seen people, mostly undergraduate students, going there and reading or referring to books from the library.

The phrase 'not much familiar' is incorrect; it should be 'not very familiar'. Also, 'referring books' should be 'referring to books' as 'refer' requires the preposition 'to'. The modal verb usage is correct here but the sentence needed minor corrections for naturalness and grammar.
