Mirrors— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is generally clear but could be more natural and concise. Avoid repetition like "look myself" and "I I if". Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly and provide more specific details about why you check your appearance.

例: Yes, I like looking at myself in the mirror quite often, usually when I go to the bathroom. I check my hair and eyes to make sure I look presentable, and if I notice any dirt on my face, I clean it to maintain good hygiene.

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant but could be improved by using linking words to connect sentences and by adding a bit more detail about the mirror you bought or why you chose it.

例: Yes, I have bought mirrors before. For example, last month I bought a new mirror for my bathroom because the old one was dirty and worn out. I went to the market and chose a mirror with a modern design that fits well in my bathroom.

提案: Your answer is understandable but could be more fluent and natural by avoiding hesitations and repetitions. Also, use linking words to connect your ideas and provide a clearer explanation of your minimalist lifestyle.

例: No, I don't usually carry a mirror with me because I prefer to travel light. As a minimalist, I like to carry only essential items like a pen, paper, and my laptop in my backpack.

提案: Your answer is relevant but incomplete and a bit unclear at the end. Try to complete your thoughts fully and use linking words to make your answer more coherent. Also, avoid repetition and clarify what you mean by 'glasses on the windows or doors'.

例: No, I wouldn't use mirrors to decorate my room because, according to Indian culture, it's not recommended to have many mirrors at home. However, I would like to have glass windows or doors that allow natural light to brighten the room.

× I often go to the bathroom and look myself, check my hair, check my eyes and look at my face.

✓ I often go to the bathroom and look at myself, check my hair, check my eyes and look at my face.

The verb 'look' requires the preposition 'at' when referring to observing oneself or something else. Saying 'look myself' is incorrect; it should be 'look at myself.' This is a common error involving the use of reflexive pronouns with verbs that require prepositions.

× No, I don't normally carry a mirror with myself because I am.

✓ No, I don't normally carry a mirror with me because I am.

The phrase 'carry a mirror with myself' is incorrect because 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject and object are the same. Here, the correct pronoun is 'me' as the object of the preposition 'with.' Therefore, it should be 'carry a mirror with me.'

× I I if there is some dirt on it, I like to clean it.

✓ If there is some dirt on it, I like to clean it.

The sentence contains a repeated word 'I I' which is a typographical or speech error. Removing the extra 'I' corrects the sentence structure and makes it clear and grammatically correct.
