Money— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more natural, grammatically correct, and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb tenses and countable/uncountable noun forms (e.g., "small change" or "a small amount"). Avoid redundancy and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I sometimes borrow money when I don't have enough cash. For example, if a shop doesn't have change or I forget my wallet, I might ask a friend to lend me a small amount. Usually I pay them back the same day.

提案: Provide a direct topic sentence and use correct tense and smoother linking. Explain briefly why you rarely lend money now, giving a specific reason or example. Use linking words such as "because" or "so" to connect ideas and keep answers to 2–3 sentences.

例: I rarely lend money to others now. When I was younger I sometimes lent friends small amounts, but these days I avoid lending because I prefer to keep my finances separate and prevent potential misunderstandings.

× I do sometimes when I don't have enough cash or when I want to buy something but the shop don't have any change so I have to borrow those small money.

✓ I do sometimes when I don't have enough cash or when I want to buy something but the shop doesn't have any change so I have to borrow a small amount of money.

The verb must agree with the third person singular subject 'the shop', so 'don't' should be 'doesn't'. Also 'those small money' is ungrammatical: 'money' is uncountable, so use 'a small amount of money'. Improve by using subject-verb agreement and correct quantifier for uncountable nouns.

× I hardly do this. I do this when I was young, like lend money to my friends, but right now I don't do it anymore.

✓ I hardly do this now. I did this when I was young, like lending money to my friends, but right now I don't do it anymore.

Tense inconsistency: 'I do this when I was young' mixes present and past. Change to past simple 'I did this when I was young' because the time is in the past. 'Like lend money' should use gerund 'lending' or 'for example, I lent money', so use 'lending money to my friends' to describe the activity. Also add 'now' to clarify timeframe. Improve by keeping past events in past tense and using gerund after 'like' when describing examples. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× I do sometimes when I don't have enough cash or when I want to buy something but the shop don't have any change so I have to borrow those small money.

✓ I do sometimes when I don't have enough cash or when I want to buy something but the shop doesn't have any change so I have to borrow a small amount of money.

After 'have to' the base verb 'borrow' is correct, but 'those small money' should be replaced with a noun phrase using an uncountable noun; using '-ing' is not required here. The earlier sentence also benefits from using 'a small amount of money' instead of incorrect pluralization. Improve by choosing correct noun form for 'money'. Grammar problem type ID: 8}]}}
