Views— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is too short and doesn't follow the evaluation rules. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give 1–2 supporting details using linking words. Be specific about why you don't like taking pictures (for example, lack of interest, time, or skill) and offer a brief comparison or example.

例: Not really — I don't enjoy taking photos of views because I prefer experiencing a place in person rather than through a camera. For instance, when I travel I focus on talking to locals and soaking up the atmosphere instead of stopping to compose pictures.

提案: This reply is unclear and unnatural. Answer directly by choosing one option or explaining that you have no strong preference, then add a reason and a specific example. Use linking words like 'because', 'however', or 'for example' to connect ideas.

例: I don't have a strong preference because both urban and rural views appeal to me for different reasons: urban scenery interests me for its architecture and lively streets, whereas rural views are calming and scenic. For example, I enjoy city skylines at night but also love hiking in the countryside for fresh air.

提案: The answer is vague and unnatural. Either state a preference or explain why you have none, then support it with specific reasons and an example. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'for instance' to make your response coherent.

例: I don't really prefer one over the other because the appeal depends on the place — some domestic locations have familiar charm, while foreign views offer novelty and different cultures. For instance, I enjoy coastal towns at home for comfort, but I also loved the unique architecture I saw when traveling abroad.

× No, I don't.

✓ No, I don't like taking pictures of different views.

The student's reply 'No, I don't.' is grammatically acceptable but incomplete in context. The examiner asked 'Do you like taking pictures of different views?' A full response should repeat or include the verb to make the meaning clear: 'No, I don't like taking pictures of different views.' This avoids ambiguity and follows typical short-answer expansion. Suggestion: include the main verb or repeat part of the question after 'No, I don't.'

× No, I don't prefer.

✓ No, I don't prefer either.

The phrase 'No, I don't prefer.' is incomplete and unnatural. The examiner asked 'Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?' A natural negative response is 'No, I don't prefer either.' which clarifies that the speaker does not prefer one over the other. Alternatively, the student could say 'I don't have a preference.' Suggestion: use 'either' with negative 'don't' or use the noun 'preference' to form a complete thought.

× No, I don't prefer.

✓ No, I don't prefer views in my own country or in other countries.

Again, 'No, I don't prefer.' is incomplete. The examiner asked 'Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?' To answer clearly, include the object: 'No, I don't prefer views in my own country or in other countries.' Better options are 'I don't have a preference' or 'I don't prefer one over the other.' Suggestion: repeat the key noun ('views') or say 'one over the other'/'either' to complete the sentence.
