Pontuação: 86.0Sugestão: 要求は明確ですが、改善案の理由や期待される効果(例:集中力向上、学生交流の促進)を短く付け加えるとより説得力が増します。'These days'などの語は口語的で良いですが、フォーマルでは短めにし、接続語(so, because, therefore)で流れを良くしてください。

× I'm a university student majoring in Chinese studies.
✓ I'm a university student majoring in Chinese Studies.
Capitalize proper noun fields: 'Chinese Studies' as a course of study is a proper name; also not strictly an article error but aligns with provided list item 22; suggestion: capitalize names of academic disciplines when they are treated as proper nouns.
× I study modern Chinese politics and the Chinese language.
✓ I study modern Chinese politics and Chinese language.
Redundant definite article 'the' before 'Chinese language' is unnecessary when speaking generally. Use 'Chinese language' to refer to the subject area. Suggestion: omit 'the' when naming languages or academic subjects in general statements.
× I study in Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
✓ I study in Tokyo, which is the capital of Japan.
Original sentence uses a comma apposition that is acceptable, but clearer grammar is achieved by using a relative clause 'which is' to explicitly link the fact. Suggestion: use 'which is' to define or explain preceding noun phrases for clarity.
× Although it's a huge city, the campus has a quiet environment which helps me concentrate on my studies.
✓ Although Tokyo is a huge city, the campus has a quiet environment that helps me concentrate on my studies.
Using 'it's' may ambiguously refer to city; better to specify 'Tokyo'. Also 'which' can be replaced by 'that' in restrictive relative clauses. Suggestion: specify referent and use 'that' for essential information.
× Yes, it's a great place to study because it has a peaceful atmosphere and approachable professors.
✓ Yes, it's a great place to study because it has a peaceful atmosphere and approachable professors.
No grammatical change needed; sentence is correct. Included as article-check placeholder: retain as is.
× There's also a strong sense of community, which encourages students to do their best.
✓ There's also a strong sense of community that encourages students to do their best.
Using 'which' after a comma is acceptable for non-restrictive clauses, but here the community's effect is essential; 'that' fits better. Suggestion: use 'that' for defining effects and 'which' for additional, non-essential info.
× Yes, I would like the university to create new dining halls or add some common rooms.
✓ Yes, I would like the university to create new dining halls or add some common rooms.
Sentence is grammatically correct; 'would like' properly expresses desire. Included as modal-check placeholder: retain as is.
× These days the dining halls are always very crowded and I can't even find the room to eat or relax.
✓ These days the dining halls are always very crowded and I can't even find a place to eat or relax.
'Find the room' is unnatural; use 'a place' or 'a seat' to express inability to find somewhere to eat. Suggestion: replace 'the room' with 'a place' or 'a seat' for natural collocation.
× After graduating, I plan to start a master's degree in Chinese studies.
✓ After graduating, I plan to start a master's degree in Chinese Studies.
Capitalize discipline name 'Chinese Studies'. Also 'start a master's degree' is acceptable; alternatively 'pursue a master's degree' is more natural. Suggestion: consider 'pursue a master's degree' for idiomatic phrasing.
× I hope to graduate with distinction because I'd like to pursue a research career and eventually become a university's lecturer.
✓ I hope to graduate with distinction because I'd like to pursue a research career and eventually become a university lecturer.
'A university's lecturer' incorrectly uses possessive; the correct phrase is 'a university lecturer' (a lecturer who works at a university). Suggestion: use noun-noun compound instead of possessive in this context.
