Library— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to make your answer more natural and concise. Avoid redundancy by not repeating 'I don't' twice. Also, use correct prepositions and article usage, for example, say 'to apply to a university'.

例: No, I don't go to the library often now, but I used to go there to study for university entrance exams.

提案: Your answer is unclear and incomplete. Focus on directly answering the question with a clear topic sentence and supporting details. Avoid irrelevant information like 'I don't drink'.

例: Usually, I spend most of my time studying quietly in the library, focusing on my coursework.

提案: Your answer is generally good but could be improved by using linking words to connect ideas smoothly and by varying sentence structures.

例: Yes, I used to go to the library often when I was a kid; however, recently I haven't been because I prefer studying at home.

提案: Try to answer the question more directly, even if you are unsure. You can express your opinion or say you are not certain, but still provide some reasoning or comparison.

例: I'm not sure about Chinese kids, but in Japan, many children visit libraries regularly to study and read books.

× No I don't, but I used to go to the library to study for the exam to apply a university but recently I don't.

✓ No, I don't, but I used to go to the library to study for the exam to apply to a university, but recently I haven't.

The sentence mixes present and past tenses incorrectly. 'Used to' correctly indicates past habit, but 'recently I don't' is incorrect; it should be 'recently I haven't' or 'recently I haven't gone'. Also, 'apply a university' is missing the preposition 'to'. The correction aligns tenses properly and adds the missing preposition.

× No I don't, but I used to go to the library to study for the exam to apply a university but recently I don't.

✓ No, I don't, but I used to go to the library to study for the exam to apply to a university, but recently I haven't.

The phrase 'apply a university' is incorrect because the verb 'apply' requires the preposition 'to' when referring to institutions. The correct phrase is 'apply to a university'.

× I don't drink, I don't read books very often. I spend more time studying at at the in the.

✓ I don't drink, and I don't read books very often. I spend more time studying at home.

The original sentence is incomplete and contains repeated words 'at at the in the' which makes it unclear. Adding 'and' improves sentence flow, and completing the sentence with 'at home' clarifies the meaning.

× Yes, I used to go there often, but recently I haven't gone.

✓ Yes, I used to go there often, but recently I haven't been.

The phrase 'I haven't gone' is less natural in this context. 'I haven't been' is more appropriate when referring to not visiting a place recently.

× I haven't been there because I prefer studying at home to studying in the library.

✓ I haven't been there because I prefer studying at home to studying in the library.

This sentence is correct in preposition use; no correction needed.

× I don't know because I'm Japanese, think it's the same East Asia but we have different cultures.

✓ I don't know because I'm Japanese. I think it's the same in East Asia, but we have different cultures.

The original sentence is a run-on and lacks clarity. Splitting into two sentences and adding 'in' before 'East Asia' improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
