Websites— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant with good content. To improve, make the response slightly more varied and concise: start with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific detail and a linking word. Avoid repeating similar ideas.

例: I usually visit my university’s official website for course updates and timetables. In addition, I use streaming platforms like Tencent Video to watch TV dramas and short videos when I want to relax, because they offer on-demand content and personalized recommendations.

提案: Good answer: direct and well explained. To improve, tighten the structure and vary vocabulary (e.g. ‘subscription’ instead of ‘membership’, ‘high-definition’ instead of ‘high quality’). Use one linking phrase to connect reasons.

例: My favourite website is Tencent Video because I often watch TV dramas there. I have a subscription, so I can stream high-definition videos with minimal buffering, which makes binge-watching long series much more enjoyable.

提案: Answer is relevant but repetitive. Improve by giving a brief direct response and then adding a specific example or a slight prediction to enrich the answer. Use a linking word to connect ideas.

例: Not really — I still use the same sites. For example, I check my university portal every week for timetable updates, and I use Tencent Video almost daily for entertainment; I don’t expect this to change soon unless a better streaming service becomes available.

提案: Strong answer with specific examples and clear reasons. To reach a higher band, add a linking word and one comparative or statistical detail if possible (e.g. who uses them most or how usage has grown). Keep it concise.

例: Streaming and social media sites like TikTok and Tencent Video are very popular in China, especially among young people. Because they offer short-form clips and on-demand dramas, many users prefer them to traditional TV for quick relaxation after a busy day.

× I often visit the official website of my university to check my course information and timetable.

✓ I often visit my university's official website to check my course information and timetable.

The original sentence uses a correct meaning but the word order is slightly unnatural in English. Placing the possessive 'my university's' before 'official website' is more idiomatic. This is an article/word-order nuance; change improves naturalness and clarity.

× I also go to entertainment sites and streaming platforms to watch TV dramas and short videos when I want to relax.

✓ I also visit entertainment sites and streaming platforms to watch TV dramas and short videos when I want to relax.

The verb 'go to' is not wrong, but 'visit' is more appropriate for websites. This change makes the sentence more precise and natural when referring to browsing websites.

× My favorite website is Tencent Video because I often watch TV dramas there.

✓ My favorite website is Tencent Video because I often watch TV dramas there.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. It uses correct third person structure and verb forms.

× I have a membership so I can enjoy a free high quality video and fast streaming which makes the viewing experience much better when I watch long series.

✓ I have a membership, so I can enjoy high-quality videos and fast streaming, which makes the viewing experience much better when I watch long series.

Corrections: add commas to separate clauses; use hyphen in the compound adjective 'high-quality' and plural 'videos' to match general reference; 'fast streaming' is fine but set off with a comma before the relative clause. These changes fix adjective formation and punctuation for clarity.

× Actually, no, I haven't changed the website I use.

✓ Actually, no, I haven't changed the websites I use.

If the speaker refers to multiple sites mentioned earlier, plural 'websites' matches context. Present perfect 'haven't changed' is correct if implying up to now. Change addresses number agreement.

× I usually visit sites like Tencent Video for watching TV series and my university's official website to check the timetable and course information because they reliably provide what I need for entertainment and study.

✓ I usually visit sites like Tencent Video to watch TV series and my university's official website to check the timetable and course information because they reliably provide what I need for entertainment and study.

When expressing purpose, use the infinitive 'to watch' rather than the gerund 'for watching'. This makes the purpose structure parallel and more idiomatic.

× Streaming and social media sites such as TikTok and Tencent Video are extremely popular in China, especially among young people.

✓ Streaming and social media sites such as TikTok and Tencent Video are extremely popular in China, especially among young people.

Sentence is correct as written; no grammatical changes required.

× These platforms offer short form content and on demand TV dramas, which makes it easy for viewers to relax and catch up on shows after a busy week.

✓ These platforms offer short-form content and on-demand TV dramas, which makes it easy for viewers to relax and catch up on shows after a busy week.

Use hyphens in compound adjectives 'short-form' and 'on-demand' when they precede a noun to improve correctness and readability. The rest of the sentence is correct.
