Examiner
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Candidate
When I was a child, I often used to travel overseas. One of the reasons is that my mother is Korean, so I often go to Korea to see my family members, like my grandfather and grandmother. It's a little bit far away from my air airplane, from the airplane airport. So it was a bit.
Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 回答は意味が通じますが、構造や文法に改善の余地があります。まず主題文で直接答え、続けて理由を1〜2文で具体的に述べましょう。例えば動詞の時制や一致("make me remember" → "helps me remember")を正し、冗長な語句("out of the window", "of the traveling")を簡潔にします。また、リンク詞("because", "so", "which")を適切に使って論理を明確にしてください。発音練習では "prefer" と "window" の強勢、短いフレーズでの流暢さを意識すると良いです。
Example: Yes, I prefer to sit by the window when I travel because I can enjoy the scenery. For example, I like watching mountains and rivers pass by, which relaxes me and helps me remember the trip. Also, sitting by the window lets me take photos easily, so it’s my usual choice.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: 答えの骨組み(過去の習慣→理由→具体例)は良いですが、文法・語順と明確性を改善する必要があります。まず一文目は直接に過去の習慣を示す短い主題文にし、続けて理由と具体例を述べます。語法の誤り("my air airplane" や冗長表現)を直し、距離や頻度などの具体的な情報を付け加えると説得力が増します。接続詞("because", "so", "for example")で文どうしを繋ぎ、5文以内に収めて簡潔に話してください。
Example: Yes, I often had long journeys with my family when I was a child because my mother is Korean. For example, we frequently flew to Korea to visit my grandparents, and the flights usually took several hours. Those trips felt long but I enjoyed spending time with my relatives.
× I do prefer to sit by the window because if I sit there I can enjoy the view out of the window and it's very stimulating to my mind and make me remember views of the traveling.
✓ I prefer to sit by the window because if I sit there I can enjoy the view outside and it's very stimulating to my mind and makes me remember journeys I've taken.
動詞と主語の一致および動名詞の使い方に関する問題。'do prefer'は強調では使えるが平常文では単に'prefer'が自然です。また'unauthorized construction'ではなく、'make me remember'は主語'it'に合わせて三人称単数現在'makes'にする必要があります。'out of the window'は冗長なので'nice view outside'に置き換え、'views of the traveling'は不自然なので'journeys I've taken'など具体的な表現にするとよいです。改善のため: 主語と動詞の一致を確認し、冗長な前置詞句を簡潔にすること、必要に応じて現在完了(have + past participle)を使って過去の経験を表現すること。
× When I was a child, I often used to travel overseas.
✓ When I was a child, I often traveled overseas.
'used to'は過去の習慣を表すため使えますが、'often used to travel'は重複して冗長に感じられます。単に'spoke often'ではなく'often traveled'または'used to travel'のどちらかを使うのが自然です。改善: 過去の習慣を表すときは'either used to + base verb'か'past simple'を選び、両方を同時に使わないようにすること。
× One of the reasons is that my mother is Korean, so I often go to Korea to see my family members, like my grandfather and grandmother.
✓ One reason is that my mother is Korean, so I often go to Korea to see family members such as my grandfather and grandmother.
'One of the reasons'は文脈上少し不自然で、'One reason'が簡潔です。また'like'は会話で使われるが、正式には'for example'や'such as'を使うとよいです。'my family members'の直後にカンマと'like'ではなく'such as'を使うと自然になります。改善: 前置詞や接続表現を明確にし、例示には'such as'や'for example'を使うと良いです。
× It's a little bit far away from my air airplane, from the airplane airport.
✓ It's a little bit far from the airport.
'far away from my air airplane'や'from the airplane airport'は誤った前置詞と名詞の組み合わせです。英語では'far from the airport'や'far from my home'のように表現します。'airplane airport'は重複しており不要です。改善: 場所を表すときは'state + from + place'の形を使い、冗長な語を省くこと。
× So it was a bit.
✓ So it was a bit far.
この文は述語が欠けており意味が不明確です。'a bit'だけでは何が'少し'なのか分かりません。前文とつなげるなら'So it was a bit far'や'So it was a bit inconvenient'など具体的な形容詞を加えて完結させる必要があります。改善: 文を完結させるために適切な補語(形容詞など)を入れ、前の文との意味的つながりを明確にすること。
