Part 1
Examiner
Do you have a favorite teacher?
Candidate
My favorite teacher was Mr. Tanaka, who taught me in 5th and 6th grade. I entered his classes because he explained difficult topics clearly and he used real life examples. As a result, learning became more interesting and easier to understand.
Examiner
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Candidate
No, I don't want to become a teacher. I think teaching involves a lot of responsibility for caring for and managing students, which doesn't suit me, although it can be rewarding. I prefer a job with less day-to-day than supervision.
Examiner
Do you have a teacher from your past that you still remember?
Candidate
Yes, my 6th grade teacher was the most influential teacher in my life. He taught me that still studying isn't just memorizing facts. He encouraged us to understand concepts and apply them to real problems, which changed the way I learn.
Examiner
Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?
Candidate
No, not right now, but I'd like to visit the school someday to tell my teachers how I've grown and how I still use what I learned there. I'm just worried they may have moved to other schools by then.
Examiner
In what way has your favourite teacher helped you?
Candidate
My favorite teacher explains the curriculum clearly and taught me important life lessons such as how to make friends and the importance of family and kindness.
Examiner
Do you like your primary school teachers more than your high school teachers?
Candidate
Yes, I do. I prefer primary school teachers because they need more patience. Young children are less mature and harder to manage. For example, children often get upset quickly, so teachers must calm them and keep the class focused.

Score: 86.0Suggestion: 回答は明確で構造も整っていますが、さらに自然で効果的にするために、主語と時制の一貫性を保ち、冗長性を減らし、具体的な例(どの教科か、どんな実生活の例か)を1つ加えると良いです。また、接続語(for example, because, so)を適切に用いて論理を強めてください。文は最大5文に収め、不要な語を削ることを意識しましょう。
Example: My favorite teacher was Mr. Tanaka, who taught me in fifth and sixth grade. He explained difficult science topics clearly and used real-life examples, such as comparing electrical circuits to water pipes. Because of his approach, lessons became more interesting and easier to understand.
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 主張ははっきりしていますが、文法的な誤り("less day-to-day than supervision"など)といくつかの冗長な表現があります。理由を具体的にし、接続語で理由と結論をつなげると説得力が増します。簡潔な語順と正しい語句(e.g. daily supervision)に直してください。
Example: No, I don't want to be a teacher. Teaching requires daily supervision and emotional responsibility for many students, which I don't think suits my personality. Although it can be rewarding, I would prefer a job with less direct day-to-day student management.
Do you have a teacher from your past that you still remember?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 内容は良いですが、不自然な表現("still studying")と語彙の選択を改善してください。より具体的なエピソード(どんな問題に応用したか)を一つ加えると印象的です。接続語を使ってアイデアの流れを滑らかにしてください。
Example: Yes, my sixth-grade teacher was the most influential person in my education. He taught us that studying is not just about memorizing facts but about understanding concepts. For example, he had us apply math to real-life budgeting problems, which changed the way I approach learning.
Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答は自然ですが、"not right now"の後に短く理由や計画を付け加えるとより完全です。また、心配事(移動したかもしれない)をもう少し自然な英語で表現してください。文を簡潔にして、接続語で意図と不安をつなげましょう。
Example: Not at the moment, but I hope to visit my primary school someday to thank my teachers and show how I've used what they taught me. However, I'm a bit worried they may have moved to other schools by then.
In what way has your favourite teacher helped you?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 良い内容ですが時制の一貫性(過去形が望ましい)と具体性を高めてください。"explains"を過去形にし、具体的な例(どんな場面で友達を作る方法を教わったか)を一つ示すと説得力が増します。接続語で学びの結果を示すとさらに良いです。
Example: My favorite teacher explained the curriculum clearly and also taught me valuable life lessons, such as how to make friends by listening and showing kindness. As a result, I became more confident in social situations.
Do you like your primary school teachers more than your high school teachers?
Score: 84.0Suggestion: 主張は明確で例もありますが、比較の理由を論理的に整理して一つの流れにまとめるとより自然です。"they need more patience"は曖昧なので、"primary teachers need more patience because young children require more guidance"のように具体的に表現してください。冗長な語を削り、接続語で因果を示しましょう。
Example: Yes, I do. I prefer primary school teachers because they need more patience: young children require more guidance and can get upset quickly. For example, a primary teacher often has to calm a child and redirect the whole class to keep lessons on track.
× My favorite teacher was Mr. Tanaka, who taught me in 5th and 6th grade.
✓ My favorite teacher was Mr. Tanaka, who taught me in the fifth and sixth grades.
The sentence uses past tense correctly but contains formatting/number usage not covered directly; however, style prefers writing ordinal words for grades and plural 'grades' when referring to two levels. Use 'fifth and sixth grades' for clarity and consistency. Grammar Problem Type ID: 5
× I entered his classes because he explained difficult topics clearly and he used real life examples.
✓ I took his classes because he explained difficult topics clearly and used real-life examples.
'Entered his classes' is awkward; native speakers say 'took his classes'. Also 'real life' as a compound modifier should be hyphenated 'real-life'. Remove the redundant 'he' before 'used' to avoid repetition. These are prepositional/word choice and modifier issues. Grammar Problem Type ID: 11
× As a result, learning became more interesting and easier to understand.
✓ As a result, learning became more interesting and easier to understand.
Sentence is grammatically acceptable; no change needed. It correctly uses past tense to match previous context. No error from the provided list applies. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× No, I don't want to become a teacher.
✓ No, I don't want to become a teacher.
Sentence is correct in present tense expressing future intention; no correction necessary. It matches the question about the future. Grammar Problem Type ID: 6
× I think teaching involves a lot of responsibility for caring for and managing students, which doesn't suit me, although it can be rewarding.
✓ I think teaching involves a lot of responsibility for caring for and managing students, which doesn't suit me, although it can be rewarding.
Sentence is grammatically acceptable. 'Responsibility for caring for' is repetitive but not strictly incorrect; keep as is. No change required per the listed types. Grammar Problem Type ID: 11
× I prefer a job with less day-to-day than supervision.
✓ I prefer a job with less day-to-day supervision.
Original word order is incorrect: 'less day-to-day than supervision' is ungrammatical. Correct structure is 'less day-to-day supervision' where 'day-to-day' modifies 'supervision'. This is a sentence structure error. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
× Yes, my 6th grade teacher was the most influential teacher in my life.
✓ Yes, my sixth-grade teacher was the most influential teacher in my life.
Use hyphen for compound adjective 'sixth-grade' and spell out ordinal numbers in formal writing. Past tense 'was' is appropriate. Grammar Problem Type ID: 5
× He taught me that still studying isn't just memorizing facts.
✓ He taught me that studying is not just memorizing facts.
'Still studying' is incorrect in this context; 'studying' alone conveys the intended meaning. Also use full form 'is not' for formality. This is misuse of adverb 'still' making the sentence unclear. Grammar Problem Type ID: 13
× He encouraged us to understand concepts and apply them to real problems, which changed the way I learn.
✓ He encouraged us to understand concepts and apply them to real problems, which changed the way I learned.
Main clause is past tense; the relative clause should also use past tense 'learned' to maintain consistent time reference. This is a past tense agreement issue. Grammar Problem Type ID: 5
× No, not right now, but I'd like to visit the school someday to tell my teachers how I've grown and how I still use what I learned there.
✓ No, not right now, but I'd like to visit the school someday to tell my teachers how I've grown and how I still use what I learned there.
Sentence is grammatically correct: 'I've grown' (present perfect) and 'I learned' (past simple) are acceptable to contrast ongoing state with past learning. No correction needed. Grammar Problem Type ID: 6
× I'm just worried they may have moved to other schools by then.
✓ I'm just worried they may have moved to other schools by then.
Sentence is correct; 'moved to other schools' is appropriate. No change required. Grammar Problem Type ID: 11
× My favorite teacher explains the curriculum clearly and taught me important life lessons such as how to make friends and the importance of family and kindness.
✓ My favorite teacher explained the curriculum clearly and taught me important life lessons such as how to make friends and the importance of family and kindness.
Mixing present 'explains' with past 'taught' creates tense inconsistency. Since referring to a past teacher, use past tense 'explained'. Ensure both verbs match past timeframe. Grammar Problem Type ID: 6
× Yes, I do. I prefer primary school teachers because they need more patience.
✓ Yes, I do. I prefer primary school teachers because they require more patience.
'They need more patience' is understandable but 'require more patience' is more natural when describing teachers' qualities; not a strict grammatical error. If treated as third person singular issue, original 'need' correctly agrees with plural 'teachers'. No obligatory change, but improved wording presented. Grammar Problem Type ID: 2
× Young children are less mature and harder to manage.
✓ Young children are less mature and harder to manage.
Sentence is grammatically correct and clear; no correction necessary. Grammar Problem Type ID: 13
× For example, children often get upset quickly, so teachers must calm them and keep the class focused.
✓ For example, children often get upset quickly, so teachers must calm them and keep the class focused.
Sentence is correct and clear. No change required. Grammar Problem Type ID: 26
