Do you prefer to sit by the window when travelling?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答は直接的で分かりやすいですが、表現がやや単純で繰り返しがあります。窓側を好む理由をもう少し具体的にし、接続詞や副詞を加えて文をつなげると自然で説得力が増します。例えば、なぜ景色が好きなのか(風景の種類、気分への影響、写真を撮ることなど)を具体的に述べ、冗長な語("from the window"の二重表現)を避けてください。最大5文に留め、語彙を少し広げてください。
Example: Yes, I prefer to sit by the window because I enjoy watching the landscape change as we travel. For example, I like seeing coastlines or mountains pass by, which helps me relax and often gives me ideas for photos. Therefore, I usually choose a window seat whenever I can.
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: 答えは肯定しており思い出を共有していますが、文法と語順の誤り、繰り返し、具体性の欠如が目立ちます。"families"は単数の"family"が正しく、"went to go Saipan"は冗長で正しくは"went to Saipan"です。経験をより魅力的にするために、旅の詳細(どのくらい長かったか、何が楽しかったか、印象に残った出来事)を1〜3文で具体的に述べ、接続語("because", "for example", "so"など)を使って流れをよくしてください。
Example: Yes, I did. When I was five, my family flew to Saipan for a long holiday. The flight took several hours, but I remember enjoying the view from the plane and playing games with my parents, which made the trip very fun.
× Yes, I prefer to sit by window because I want to see beautiful view from the window.
✓ Yes, I prefer to sit by the window because I want to see the beautiful view from the window.
The definite article 'the' is required before singular countable nouns when both speaker and listener know which specific thing is meant. 'Window' and 'beautiful view' are specific here, so use 'the'. Also, include 'the' before the first 'window' to be grammatically correct.
× Yes, I did a long journey with my families when I was five years old.
✓ Yes, I took a long journey with my family when I was five years old.
'Families' is plural but context implies one family, so use singular 'family'. Additionally, English collocates use 'take a journey' or 'went on a long trip' rather than 'did a long journey'. Use 'took' or 'went on' for natural phrasing.
× We went to go Saipan by plane.
✓ We went to Saipan by plane.
The phrase 'went to go' is redundant; use 'went to Saipan' or 'flew to Saipan'. Also, 'to' is needed before the place name 'Saipan'.
× It was so enjoyable trip.
✓ It was such an enjoyable trip.
'Enjoyable' is an adjective describing 'trip'; with a singular noun you need an article: 'an enjoyable trip'. 'So enjoyable trip' is ungrammatical; use 'such an enjoyable trip' or 'a very enjoyable trip' instead.
