Colours— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is somewhat unclear and contains grammatical errors. Try to give a clear topic sentence directly answering the question, followed by specific reasons. Avoid filler words like 'I think yeah' and ensure subject-verb agreement. For example, say "My favourite colour is blue because I own many blue items, and I find it calming."

例: My favourite colour is blue because I own many blue items, such as clothes and accessories, and I find the colour calming and peaceful.

提案: Your answer is unclear and grammatically incorrect. Provide a clear topic sentence stating the colour you dislike, then explain why with specific reasons. Avoid incomplete phrases like 'I do not how long'. For example, "I dislike yellow because I find it too bright and overwhelming."

例: I dislike yellow because I find it too bright and overwhelming, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

提案: Your answer is confusing and lacks clarity. Directly answer the question with a topic sentence, then add specific details using linking words. Avoid asking the examiner a question. For example, "My friends like different colours, but my best friend Fena prefers pink and yellow, so we often discuss our colour choices."

例: My friends like different colours, but my best friend Fena prefers pink and yellow, so we often discuss our colour choices when shopping.

提案: Your answer is somewhat repetitive and unclear. Start with a clear topic sentence, then explain with specific details using linking words. Avoid repeating phrases like 'I love it so much'. For example, "My room is painted purple, which I love because it is vibrant. However, I feel uncomfortable with dark colours like brown because they make the room feel gloomy."

例: My room is painted purple, which I love because it is vibrant and cheerful. However, I feel uncomfortable with dark colours like brown because they make the room feel gloomy and small.

× I suppose my favorite color is blue because I have more thing in blue colors I think yeah.

✓ I suppose my favorite color is blue because I have more things in blue colours, I think, yeah.

The word 'thing' should be plural 'things' to agree with 'more', which indicates a comparative quantity. Also, 'colors' should be 'colours' to match British English spelling as per the context.

× I suppose my favorite color is blue because I have more thing in blue colors I think yeah.

✓ I suppose my favorite colour is blue because I have more things of blue colours, I think, yeah.

The preposition 'in' is not appropriate here; 'of' is better to indicate possession or association with the colour.

× I hate yellow, I do not how long but it is awful color for me.

✓ I hate yellow; I do not know how long, but it is an awful colour for me.

The sentence is missing the verb 'know' after 'do not'. Also, 'awful color' needs the article 'an' before 'awful', and 'color' should be 'colour' for British English consistency.

× I hate yellow, I do not how long but it is awful color for me.

✓ I hate yellow; I do not know how long, but it is an awful colour for me.

The noun phrase 'awful color' requires the indefinite article 'an' before 'awful' because 'awful' starts with a vowel sound.

× It is awful color for me.

✓ It is an awful colour to me.

The preposition 'for' is less appropriate here; 'to me' better expresses personal opinion or feeling.

× It depends, what friends do you mean?

✓ It depends; which friends do you mean?

The question should use 'which' instead of 'what' when referring to a specific group, and a semicolon or period is better than a comma to separate the two clauses.

× But my best friend's fena likes pink and yellow so we often have a decision about it.

✓ But my best friend's fiancée likes pink and yellow, so we often have a decision about it.

The word 'fena' is likely a misspelling of 'fiancée'. Also, 'decision' should be plural 'decisions' if referring to multiple occasions, but if singular, the sentence is acceptable. The sentence also needs a comma before 'so' to separate clauses.

× But my best friend's fena likes pink and yellow so we often have a decision about it.

✓ But my best friend's fiancée likes pink and yellow, so we often make decisions about it.

The phrase 'have a decision about it' is awkward; 'make decisions about it' is more natural English usage.

× My room is a purple color and I love it.

✓ My room is purple, and I love it.

'Purple color' is redundant; 'purple' alone suffices as an adjective describing the room.

× But sometimes I hate the dark shades for example brown or dark but not too much.

✓ But sometimes I hate the dark shades, for example, brown or dark colours, but not too much.

The sentence needs commas to separate 'for example' as a parenthetical phrase. Also, 'dark' alone is vague; 'dark colours' clarifies the meaning.
