Views— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a fuller response: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details (why you like it and an example). Use a linking word if you add another point. Keep it natural and under 5 sentences.

例: Yes, I do — I enjoy taking pictures of different views because photography helps me notice details I would otherwise miss. For example, when I visit the coast I like to photograph the changing light at sunset, which gives me peaceful memories and interesting photos to share.

提案: Make the preference clear and give specific reasons or comparisons using linking words. Avoid hesitation sounds and expand with one or two supporting details to make your answer natural and informative.

例: I prefer views in urban areas because I like the energy of the city and the architectural variety. For instance, tall buildings, busy streets and colourful street art create dynamic scenes that are fun to photograph.

提案: Be decisive: state a clear preference or explain why you like both, and give distinct supporting details. Use linking words (e.g., however, because, for example) and avoid repeating the same phrase. Keep to 2–3 sentences maximum.

例: I like views in both my own country and other countries because each offers something different: locally I appreciate familiar cultural details, whereas abroad I enjoy new landscapes and architectural styles. For example, at home I can capture traditional festivals, but when I travel I often photograph unusual buildings and countryside I’ve never seen before.

× Uh, I would prefer in urban areas.

✓ Uh, I would prefer urban areas.

The verb 'prefer' is a transitive verb that typically takes a direct object without a preposition. The preposition 'in' is unnecessary and ungrammatical here. Remove 'in' so the sentence correctly expresses preference: 'I would prefer urban areas.' Suggestion: Use 'prefer' + noun or 'prefer' + verb-ing (e.g., 'I prefer living in urban areas').

× I do prefer in my own country and other countries as well.

✓ I do prefer my own country and other countries as well.

As above, 'prefer' takes a direct object; the preposition 'in' is not correct after 'prefer' when followed by noun phrases. Remove 'in' to make the sentence grammatical. Alternatively, use a gerund with a preposition: 'I do prefer living in my own country and in other countries as well.' Suggestion: Choose either 'prefer' + noun phrase or 'prefer' + gerund with appropriate prepositions for location.
