Do you work or are you a student?
Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: 回答はほぼ適切ですが、最初の“Yes”は冗長に聞こえます。より自然に聞かれるには、直接職業を述べる(例:“I’m a public servant”)こと、そして一文で場所と役職を明確にすることが望ましいです。語順を整え、簡潔にまとめる練習をしてください。
Ví dụ: I’m a public servant at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, where I work on public health policy.
Where do you work?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: 時間の表現と語順に誤りがあります(“two, one and a half an hour” は不自然)。場所の説明は良いので、移動時間は正確で自然な表現(例:"about an hour and a half by train")を使い、接続詞で文をつなぐ練習をしてください。
Ví dụ: My office is in the Cosmocase building in central Tokyo, and it takes about an hour and a half to get there from my home by train.
Is it a good place to work?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: 理由を挙げて答えている点は良いですが、“terribly crowded”は口語的すぎる場合があるので“very crowded”などを使うと自然です。また、理由の後に短い結論を付けるとより論理的になります。
Ví dụ: Not really. Although the office itself is fine, the commute is very unpleasant because I have to take a very crowded train every day, so I don’t think it’s a good location.
Would you like the place where you work?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: 意味が分かりにくい箇所(“No I would.”、“1.5 nerves”)があり、発音や語選択の誤りが会話を妨げています。まずは質問にYes/Noで明確に答え、その後で理由を簡潔に述べる練習をしてください。時間の表現は“about an hour and a half”を使い、疲労の影響を具体的に述べると良いです。
Ví dụ: No, I wouldn’t. It takes about an hour and a half to get there by train, which is too long, so I feel very tired every morning.
What are your future work plans?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: 意図は明確ですが、文法ミス(“continue to working”、"a more better")があります。可能性を表す表現は適切なので、正しい動詞形と比較表現("a better position")を使う練習をしてください。また、短期と長期の計画を一文で示すと説得力が増します。
Ví dụ: I’m happy with my job, and I plan to continue working at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare with the aim of taking on a better position in the future.
× My office is in the Cosmicase, which is a central part of Tokyo.
✓ My office is in the Cosmicase, which is a central part of Tokyo.
The original sentence is acceptable, but 'the Cosmicase' seems to be a proper name; if it is a building name, omit 'the' and write 'Cosmicase' or keep it if the official name includes 'The'. Decide based on the actual name to avoid article errors.
× It takes about two, one and a half an hour from my home on train.
✓ It takes about one and a half hours from my home by train.
Use 'by train' to indicate mode of transport, not 'on train'. Use 'one and a half hours' (plural) for duration. Remove extra 'two,'. Suggestion: say 'It takes about one and a half hours by train.'
× No, it isn't. I need to take a terribly crowded train to get there every day, so I think it's not a good location.
✓ No, it isn't. I need to take a terribly crowded train to get there every day, so I don't think it's a good location.
The phrase 'so I think it's not a good location' is understandable but less natural. Using 'I don't think' is the common collocation in English. Quantifier 'terribly' is acceptable as an adverb intensifier.
× No I would. It takes about 1.5 nerves to get there from my house by train so it takes too long.
✓ No, I wouldn't. It takes about one and a half hours to get there from my house by train, so it takes too long.
'No I would' is ungrammatical in response to 'Would you like the place where you work?' The correct negative response is 'No, I wouldn't.' '1.5 nerves' is incorrect—likely 'one and a half hours'. Use commas to separate clauses and write numbers in words for speech. Suggestion: 'No, I wouldn't. It takes about one and a half hours to get there by train, so it takes too long.'
× So I feel very tired every morning.
✓ So I feel very tired every morning.
This sentence is grammatically correct; it uses present simple appropriately to describe habitual state. No change needed.
× I have no problem about my job, but I may continue to working at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and get a more better position in the future.
✓ I have no problem with my job, but I may continue working at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and get a better position in the future.
Use 'continue' + gerund ('working'), not 'continue to working'. Use 'no problem with' not 'about'. 'More better' is incorrect; 'better' alone suffices. 'A better position' is the correct comparative form. Suggestion: 'I may continue working at the Ministry and try to get a better position.'
