Relax— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Clarify and correct any odd phrasing, avoid unnecessary words, and keep to 2–3 clear sentences. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail (what you did and how it helped). Watch for unclear expressions like “birth soon.”

例: I recently went to the park near my home to relax. I sat on a quiet bench, listened to soft music, and enjoyed the fresh air, which helped me feel much more refreshed after a busy day.

提案: Good content and structure. Reduce redundancy by combining related activities and using linking words for coherence (for example, 'after that' or 'also'). Keep to 3–4 sentences max and be slightly more specific (mention a typical activity or destination).

例: I usually relax with my friends at the weekend. We typically go to the shopping mall, eat a big meal, and then watch a movie before playing games in the arcade. I also spend holidays with my family, when we travel and do sightseeing together.

提案: Strong answer: direct, coherent and specific. To improve further, add a brief example or mention a type of music and use one linking word to show progression (e.g., 'for example' or 'sometimes'). Keep within 3–4 sentences.

例: Absolutely. For example, I often sit on a park bench and listen to soft acoustic music to unwind after a busy day. I sometimes put my smartphone away and just focus on the music and my thoughts, which helps me recharge and lower my stress.

提案: Clear, concise and well-structured. To reach a higher band, give one brief specific example (where you go or a recent trip) and use a linking word to connect ideas (for example, 'also' or 'in addition'). Keep responses within 2–4 sentences.

例: To relax, I usually take a walk in the nearby park and sit on a bench to listen to soft music, which helps me unwind. I also go on short trips with friends or family at the weekend—for example, we recently spent a day hiking in a nearby nature reserve to recharge.

× I listened to some soft music which helped reduce my stress and allowed me to focus on the fresh air and birth soon, so I felt much refreshed by the time I left.

✓ I listened to some soft music, which helped reduce my stress and allowed me to focus on the fresh air and breathe, so I felt much more refreshed by the time I left.

The phrase 'birth soon' is incorrect; likely intended 'breathe' (present participle or base verb) to indicate inhaling fresh air. Also add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause 'which...' and use 'much more refreshed' for natural comparative intensity. Suggestion: replace 'birth soon' with 'breathe' and insert commas and 'more' for fluency. Grammar problem type ID:10
