Challenges— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant, but try to avoid redundancy such as "for me" twice. Also, use linking words like "because" and "therefore" to connect ideas smoothly. Try to be more concise and natural in your expression.

例: I found history the most challenging subject at school because it required memorising many dates and events, which was difficult. Moreover, understanding their significance was sometimes confusing, making the subject harder to grasp.

提案: Good use of examples and linking words. To improve, watch out for subject-verb agreement errors like "challenges also boost" should be "challenges also boost" (correct) but check carefully. Also, try to vary your vocabulary a bit more to sound natural and engaging.

例: Yes, I enjoy challenging myself because it helps me grow and learn new skills. For example, I set tough goals in my studies and hobbies to push my limits. These challenges boost my confidence and make life more exciting and rewarding.

提案: Your answer is relevant but the phrase "as it reaches valuable lessons" is unclear and unnatural. Try to use clearer expressions like "because it teaches valuable lessons". Also, try to add linking words like "however" properly to contrast ideas and keep your answer concise.

× I found history to be the most challenging subject at school because it required me to memorize many dates and important events, which was quite difficult to me.

✓ I found history to be the most challenging subject at school because it required me to memorize many dates and important events, which was quite difficult for me.

The phrase 'difficult to me' is incorrect; the correct preposition to use with 'difficult' in this context is 'for'. So, it should be 'difficult for me'. This is a common prepositional usage error.

× Facing such challenges also boost my confidence and makes life more exciting and fulfilling.

✓ Facing such challenges also boosts my confidence and makes life more exciting and fulfilling.

The subject 'Facing such challenges' is singular, so the verbs should be in singular form. 'Boost' should be 'boosts' to agree with the singular subject. 'Makes' is already correct.

× However, I also believe that facing challenges is important as it reaches valuable lessons and helps build resilience.

✓ However, I also believe that facing challenges is important as it teaches valuable lessons and helps build resilience.

The verb 'reaches' is incorrect here; the intended meaning is 'teaches' valuable lessons. 'Reaches' is a wrong word choice, not a preposition error, but since it is not in the list, the closest is preposition or verb usage. The correct verb is 'teaches'.
