Keys— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is unclear and contains many incorrect words and irrelevant phrases. Keep the response direct with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Use simple, correct vocabulary (e.g. "house key", "room key", "car key") and avoid unrelated words. Aim for 2–3 concise sentences and use linking words like "because" or "so" to show reasons.

例: Not really. I usually carry only the keys I need, such as my house key and dorm room key, because I prefer to travel light. This helps me avoid losing things and makes my bag less cluttered.

提案: This answer is relevant and coherent with good sequencing and emotions. To improve, make the language slightly more precise and vary vocabulary (e.g. "primary school" -> "elementary school", "security guard" is fine). Use one linking phrase (e.g. "as a result" or "so") to make cause and effect crystal clear, and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes. When I was in elementary school I lost my classroom key right before it was my turn to open the door, so we accidentally locked everyone out. I felt really embarrassed, but a security guard came and helped us get back in.

提案: The idea is clear, but there are vocabulary and grammar errors ("kids" should be "keys", tense and article errors). Keep sentences short and use linking words like "because" or "so". Add a specific habit (e.g. "I check my pockets or put the keys by the door") to make the detail more concrete.

例: No, it rarely happens now. When I first started university I forgot my keys a few times, so I now check my pockets and put my keys in a bowl by the door before I leave. This simple routine helps me avoid being locked out.

提案: The response is relevant and expresses a clear opinion with a reason. To improve, make language more natural and specific: mention conditions when you might trust a neighbour (e.g. long-term friend or known family) and use linking words like "because" and "however". Keep it to 2–3 sentences and include a short example or exception.

例: Not usually, because in a big city I don't know my neighbours well enough to trust them with my keys. However, I might if the neighbour were a close friend or a long-term neighbour I trusted.

× Not really, I usually carry only the keys I actually need so my kitchen stays very simple.

✓ Not really, I usually carry only the keys I actually need so my kit stays very simple.

The student used 'kitchen' incorrectly in context; likely meant 'kit' or 'keyring' (a noun choice error). This is an incorrect word choice rather than grammar; replacing with 'kit' or 'keyring' makes the sentence semantically correct. Suggestion: choose the correct noun that matches meaning (e.g., 'kit', 'keyring', or 'set of keys').

× If you look at my kitchen, you're only fed two kids.

✓ If you look at my keyset, it only has two keys.

Multiple issues: wrong nouns ('kitchen', 'kids') and incorrect pronoun/reference ('you're only fed'). The original seems to aim to say the keyset has two keys. Correct by using proper noun and pronoun agreement: 'it only has two keys.' Suggestion: ensure pronoun refers to the subject and use correct nouns for intended meaning.

× One for my dorm and one for my back.

✓ One for my dorm and one for my bike.

Words 'back' and 'dorm' usage is likely incorrect; context implies places/items associated with keys (dorm and bike/backpack). This is a word choice error; substitute the appropriate noun. Suggestion: use the noun that matches the object the key belongs to (e.g., 'bike', 'backpack', 'house').

× I don't like Curry things that are necessary around.

✓ I don't like carrying things that aren't necessary.

'Curry' is a misspelling of 'carrying' and word order 'things that are necessary around' is incorrect. Correct to 'carrying things that aren't necessary' to convey intended meaning. Suggestion: check spelling and natural word order: 'I don't like carrying unnecessary items.'

× Luckily I found a security guard to help me.

✓ Luckily I found a security guard who helped me.

Original 'to help me' is understandable but using 'who helped me' is more natural in past narrative. The issue is tense/regard of clause; align past tense throughout. Suggestion: maintain past tense consistency with relative clause verbs.

× No, it doesn't happen very often.

✓ No, that doesn't happen very often.

Minor pronoun reference: adding 'that' clarifies the subject 'being locked out.' This is a present tense statement; keep simple present. Suggestion: include explicit subject when referring back to a situation.

× After forgetting my key several times when I first entered university, I've made it a habit of checking for my kids before I going out.

✓ After forgetting my key several times when I first entered university, I made it a habit to check for my keys before I went out.

Multiple tense errors: 'I've made' and 'before I going out' are incorrect with the past time reference 'when I first entered university.' Use simple past 'I made' and 'went out.' Also 'kids' should be 'keys.' Suggestions: keep past tense consistent; use correct noun 'keys' and correct verb forms 'check' + object and 'went out.'

× That helps me avoid this kind of trouble.

✓ That helps me avoid this kind of trouble.

This sentence is correct; it uses the simple present to describe a habitual result. No change needed. Suggestion: keep as is.

× Not really. I don't think it's a good idea because in the modern city we are not that familiar with a neighbor and we are uncertain whether we can trust them.

✓ Not really. I don't think it's a good idea because in modern cities we are often not familiar with our neighbors and we are uncertain whether we can trust them.

Errors: article and plural agreement ('the modern city' should be 'modern cities'); use plural 'neighbors' to match general statement; 'we are not that familiar with a neighbor' unnatural—use 'familiar with our neighbors.' Maintain simple present for general truths. Suggestion: generalize with plural nouns and use 'our' for possession.
