List— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant, but try to avoid redundancy and improve sentence structure. For example, instead of repeating 'I do make a list' and 'I always note it down', you can combine ideas more naturally. Also, use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly.

例: Yes, because I am quite forgetful, I always make a shopping list on my mobile phone before going to the supermarket, which helps me remember everything I need.

提案: Your answer is relevant but a bit repetitive and could be more concise. Use linking words to connect your ideas and avoid repeating phrases like 'everyday work' and 'every day'. Also, try to use more varied vocabulary.

例: Yes, I prepare a daily to-do list before starting work, which effectively prevents procrastination and helps me remember important tasks.

提案: Your answer addresses the question but is somewhat repetitive and informal. Avoid starting sentences with 'I think' multiple times. Use linking words like 'because' and 'therefore' to make your answer more coherent and formal.

例: Some people dislike making lists because they have good memories, so they find lists unnecessary. Additionally, they may feel that lists restrict their flexibility and freedom, which discourages them from using this method.

提案: Your answer is understandable but contains grammatical errors and redundancy. For example, 'more easier' is incorrect; use 'easier'. Also, try to combine sentences using linking words to improve fluency.

例: I used to make lists on paper, but now that I have a smartphone, I prefer using apps like Reminders or Notes because they are easier and more convenient.

× I do make a list whenever I need to buy something from groceries or supermarket.

✓ I do make a list whenever I need to buy something from the groceries or the supermarket.

In English, when referring to specific places like 'groceries' or 'supermarket', the definite article 'the' is usually required. Omitting 'the' before these nouns is incorrect. So, 'from groceries or supermarket' should be 'from the groceries or the supermarket'. This helps specify the places clearly.

× I note it down on my mobile phone before visiting the store.

✓ I note it down in my mobile phone before visiting the store.

The correct preposition to use with 'note down' and devices like 'mobile phone' is 'in' rather than 'on'. We say 'note down in my phone' because the information is stored inside the device, not on its surface.

× I make a list for my work before starting my everyday work.

✓ I make a list for my work before starting my daily work.

The phrase 'everyday work' is an adjective meaning 'common' or 'ordinary', but here the intended meaning is 'work done every day', so 'daily work' is more appropriate. Also, 'for my work' is correct, so no change there.

× I note my To Do List for every day and it really does work and it saves me from procrastination and forgetting important things.

✓ I note my To Do List every day and it really does work and it saves me from procrastination and forgetting important things.

The phrase 'for every day' is unnecessary here. 'Every day' as an adverb means 'each day' and does not require 'for'. So, 'note my To Do List every day' is correct.

× Some people don't like making lists because I think some people are very good at remembering things, so making lists seems unhelpful for them.

✓ Some people don't like making lists because they are very good at remembering things, so making lists seems unhelpful for them.

The pronoun 'I' is incorrectly used here to refer to 'some people'. The correct pronoun is 'they' to refer back to 'some people'. Using 'I think some people' is redundant and confusing in this context.

× Or maybe some people find it very restrictive and it just limits flexibility and freedom.

✓ Maybe some people find it very restrictive and that it just limits flexibility and freedom.

Starting a sentence with 'Or' in this context is informal and unnecessary. Also, to connect the two clauses properly, 'that' should be used before 'it just limits' to clarify the subject of the second clause.

× Earlier it was paper but after having my own phone, I prefer to make a list on my phone and I use apps like reminders or notes to make a list and I think it is more easier and convenient for me.

✓ Earlier it was paper but after having my own phone, I prefer to make a list on my phone and I use apps like Reminders or Notes to make a list and I think it is easier and more convenient for me.

The phrase 'more easier' is incorrect because 'easier' is already a comparative adjective. The correct form is 'easier and more convenient'. Also, app names like 'Reminders' and 'Notes' should be capitalized as proper nouns.
