Views— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear but a bit short and slightly repetitive. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid repetition ("take pictures" twice), and add one specific detail (what you enjoy about family photos or how often you take them). Use a linking phrase if you add more detail.

例: Yes, I enjoy taking photographs, especially family portraits. For example, I often take photos at family gatherings to capture candid moments and preserve memories, which I then organize into albums.

提案: The response contradicts itself: you choose urban areas but mention natural views. Be careful to answer directly and give a clear reason. Use correct grammar (e.g., "are always fascinating" or better phrasing). Add one specific example to support your preference and use a linking word.

例: I prefer urban views because I enjoy the energy and architecture of cities. For instance, I like photographing old buildings and busy streets, which creates interesting contrasts and lively compositions.

提案: Your idea is understandable but the grammar and clarity need improvement. Answer directly ("I prefer views in other countries") and give a specific reason with correct tense and articles ("other countries," "I used to live in my country"). Add a brief example of what attracts you to foreign views.

例: I prefer views in other countries because I want to experience different cultures and landscapes. For example, I imagine exploring historic cities and coastal scenes abroad, which feel more novel compared with familiar local sights.

× Yes, I like to take pictures, especially taking the family pictures.

✓ Yes, I like to take pictures, especially family pictures.

The phrase 'especially taking the family pictures' uses an unnecessary gerund construction and an extra definite article. Use 'especially family pictures' for natural English. Suggestion: prefer noun phrase 'family pictures' after 'especially' or 'especially taking pictures of my family' if you want a verb form.

× I should say urban areas because the natural views always fascinating.

✓ I would say urban areas because the natural views are always fascinating.

The sentence lacks the auxiliary verb 'are' for the adjective 'fascinating'. Also 'should say' is less natural here; 'would say' better expresses preference. Error type corresponds to missing verb (present tense/linking verb) and adjective use. Suggestion: include 'are' after subject 'the natural views' and use 'would say' to express opinion.

× Probably I prefer other country because I used to live in my own country, but I never had the chance to see other countries.

✓ Probably I prefer other countries because I used to live in my own country, but I never had the chance to see them.

'Other country' should be plural 'other countries' when contrasting with 'my own country' generally. Also 'see other countries' can be followed by a pronoun 'them' to avoid repetition. Suggestion: use plural for general reference and replace repeated noun with pronoun for clarity.
