Do you work or are you a student?
Candidato
I'm a university student majoring in Chinese studies. I study the Chinese language and modern Chinese politics.
Examinador
Where do you study?
Candidato
I study at the university in another city, so I commute about two hours each way. Although it's very tiring, I think it's worth it because the campus has quiet which helps me concentrate on my studies.
Examinador
Is it a good place to study?
Candidato
Yes, it's a great place because it has well equipped research labs and experienced professors so we can gain hands on experience and receive strong academic support.
Examinador
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Candidato
Yes, I would like the university to create more dining areas or add new common rooms because the dining halls are quite crowded so sometimes we can't even find the room to relax.
Examinador
What are your future study plans?
Candidato
After graduating, I plan to start a masters program in Chinese studies. I hope to graduate with distinction because I'd like to pursue a research career and eventually become a universities lecturer.
Do you work or are you a student?
Puntuación: 88.0Sugerencia: 回答は明確で自然ですが、情報がやや列挙的でつながりが弱いです。トピック文の後に一つか二つの具体的な理由や興味の背景を短くつなげることで、会話がより豊かで説得力を持ちます。語彙の幅は十分ですが、文と文をつなぐ接続表現(for example, because, so that など)を使って流れを良くしましょう。
Ejemplo: I'm a university student majoring in Chinese studies, focusing on the Chinese language and modern Chinese politics because I'm interested in how language shapes political discourse.
Where do you study?
Puntuación: 85.0Sugerencia: 答えは具体的で個人的な情報を含んでおり良いですが、文法と表現の自然さに改善余地があります。'the campus has quiet'は不自然なので、正しい名詞や形容詞(quiet atmosphere, peaceful environment)を使い、接続語(however, because)で理由と結果を明確に結びつけましょう。また、文の数を3つ以内にまとめると良いです。
Ejemplo: I study at a university in another city, so I commute about two hours each way. Although the journey is tiring, it's worth it because the campus has a quiet atmosphere that helps me concentrate on my studies.
Is it a good place to study?
Puntuación: 90.0Sugerencia: 回答は明快で理由も示されており効果的です。ただし複数のアイデア(研究設備、教授陣、実践経験)を列挙するときはカンマや接続詞でより滑らかに繋ぎ、複合語にはハイフン(well-equipped, hands-on)を使うと自然です。具体例や短い例証を一つ加えると更に説得力が増します。
Ejemplo: Yes, it's a great place to study because it has well-equipped research labs and experienced professors, so students can gain hands-on experience; for example, I took a lab-based seminar last term that improved my research skills.
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Puntuación: 86.0Sugerencia: 要求と理由は明確ですが、文がやや長く冗長に感じられます。代替案を一つ選んで具体的に説明し、接続詞(because, so, therefore)を使って論理を整理しましょう。'can't even find the room'は不自然なので 'can't even find a place to sit/relax' のように修正してください。
Ejemplo: Yes, I'd like the university to provide more dining areas or additional common rooms because the dining halls are often crowded, so students sometimes can't even find a place to sit and relax.
What are your future study plans?
Puntuación: 84.0Sugerencia: 目標は明確ですが、いくつかの文法的ミスと語句選択の問題があります('masters'→'a master's', 'universities lecturer'→'a university lecturer')。理由の説明は良いので、接続語で目標と理由を簡潔につなぎつつ、将来の具体的な分野やタイムラインを一言添えると説得力が増します。
Ejemplo: After graduating, I plan to start a master's program in Chinese studies and hope to graduate with distinction because I want to pursue a research career and eventually become a university lecturer, specializing in modern Chinese politics.
× I study at the university in another city, so I commute about two hours each way. Although it's very tiring, I think it's worth it because the campus has quiet which helps me concentrate on my studies.
✓ I study at a university in another city, so I commute about two hours each way. Although it's very tiring, I think it's worth it because the campus is quiet, which helps me concentrate on my studies.
The phrase 'the university in another city' is acceptable but 'a university' is more natural when not specifying which university. The main grammatical issue is 'the campus has quiet' which incorrectly uses the verb 'has' with the noun 'quiet'. Use the adjective 'is quiet' or the noun phrase 'has quiet areas'. Also add a comma before the relative clause 'which helps me...' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'is quiet' or 'has quiet areas' depending on intended meaning.
× Yes, it's a great place because it has well equipped research labs and experienced professors so we can gain hands on experience and receive strong academic support.
✓ Yes, it's a great place because it has well-equipped research labs and experienced professors, so we can gain hands-on experience and receive strong academic support.
Compound modifiers before nouns should be hyphenated: 'well-equipped' and 'hands-on'. Also insert a comma before 'so' when linking two independent clauses. Suggestion: hyphenate compound adjectives and add appropriate punctuation.
× Yes, I would like the university to create more dining areas or add new common rooms because the dining halls are quite crowded so sometimes we can't even find the room to relax.
✓ Yes, I would like the university to create more dining areas or add new common rooms because the dining halls are quite crowded, so sometimes we can't even find a room to relax.
The phrase 'find the room' implies a specific room already known; use 'a room' to indicate any available space. Also add a comma before 'so' linking two independent clauses. Suggestion: use indefinite article 'a' when referring to any non-specific room and include comma for clarity.
× After graduating, I plan to start a masters program in Chinese studies. I hope to graduate with distinction because I'd like to pursue a research career and eventually become a universities lecturer.
✓ After graduating, I plan to start a master's program in Chinese studies. I hope to graduate with distinction because I'd like to pursue a research career and eventually become a university lecturer.
Use the possessive form 'master's program' to refer to the degree. 'Universities lecturer' is incorrect; the correct noun phrase is 'university lecturer' (singular noun modifying lecturer). Suggestion: use 'master's' with apostrophe and correct noun modifier order: 'university lecturer'.
