Tidiness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 発音と文法の正確さを高め、冗長な語を減らして短く明確に答える練習をしてください。具体的には「I yes I would like」「tidy up at home」のような重複や語順の誤りを修正し、代わりに短く自然な一文の主題文を使い、その後に1〜2文で理由を述べる練習をします。また、語彙を少し広げて「concentrate」の代わりに「focus」や「clear my mind」など言い換えを使えるようにすると良いです。

Example: Yes, I like to keep my home tidy because it helps me focus on my tasks. For example, when everything is in place I feel more relaxed and can work more efficiently.

Suggestion: 文法（特に過去習慣の表現）と語順を改善してください。例えば“used to”の使い方や否定形の構成に注意し、不要な語句（“house working”など）を正しい表現に置き換えます。回答はまず簡潔に結論（Yes/No）を述べ、その後理由と具体例を1文か2文で付け加えると明瞭になります。

Example: No, I didn’t use to keep my room tidy as a child. My parents encouraged me to study and didn’t ask me to help with chores, so I never developed a cleaning routine.

Suggestion: 発話の流暢さと繰り返し（“start starting”や“uh”）を減らす練習をしてください。内容は具体的で良いので、接続詞を使ってより論理的につなげるとさらに好印象です。また、語彙を少し増やして“put away”や“organize”などを使うと自然に聞こえます。

Example: Before I start working, I tidy my desk and sweep the floor. Then I put away any books and organize my materials on the shelf so I can concentrate better.

Suggestion: 回答冒頭の語を正確に選んでください（ここでは“necessary”に対して“No”や“Yes”を明確に述べる）。混同した否定表現（“very unnecessary”）は誤解を招くので避け、代わりに簡潔に立場を示し、その後2つの理由を論理的に列挙します。最後の文は文法的に完結させる練習も必要です。

Example: Yes, I think it’s necessary to be tidy. Firstly, a tidy environment helps me focus and work more efficiently. Secondly, it makes me feel relaxed and comfortable at home.

× I yes I would like to keep everything tidy up at home because it helps me concentrate on what I am doing.

✓ Yes, I would like to keep everything tidy at home because it helps me concentrate on what I am doing.

The original sentence has an unnecessary 'I' before 'yes' and misuses pronoun placement. Begin with 'Yes' as a response word, then a comma, then the subject 'I'. Also remove the particle 'up' after 'tidy' because 'tidy up' is a verb meaning to clean, but here 'keep tidy' is correct. Suggestion: start responses with 'Yes,' then the subject and verb: 'Yes, I would like...'.

× After I didn't clean my house as a child because my parents always let me study hard but not ask me to help them house working.

✓ When I was a child I did not clean my house because my parents always let me study hard but did not ask me to help with housework.

The original mixes tenses and has incorrect verb forms. Use simple past 'did not clean' and place time phrase 'When I was a child' at the beginning for clarity. 'Not ask me to help them house working' is ungrammatical: use 'did not ask me to help with housework' where 'help with' + noun is correct. Suggestion: keep past simple consistently and use 'help with housework'.

× So at that time I didn't have any habit of house working.

✓ So at that time I did not have any habit of doing housework.

The phrase 'habit of house working' is ungrammatical. Use 'habit of doing housework' or 'the habit of doing household chores'. Also use full form 'did not' for clarity in speaking transcription. Suggestion: use 'habit of doing [noun]' pattern.

× Umm, before I start starting or working, I usually clean the table and the floor.

✓ Umm, before I start working, I usually clean the table and the floor.

The original repeats 'start' and uses both 'start' and 'starting' together. Use the structure 'before I start' + verb-ing: 'before I start working'. Do not use 'start starting'. Suggestion: use 'before I start [verb]-ing' or 'before I begin [verb]-ing'.

× I also return any books or materials to the bookshelf, uh, so my workplace stays tidy always and I can concentrate better.

✓ I also return any books or materials to the bookshelf, so my workplace always stays tidy and I can concentrate better.

Placement of 'always' is awkward; in English frequency adverbs like 'always' usually come before the main verb ('always stays') or after auxiliary verbs. Also remove filler 'uh' for clarity. 'Return to the bookshelf' is correct. Suggestion: place adverbs in standard positions: 'always' before the main verb.

× Oh, I I think it's very unnecessary.

✓ Oh, I think it's very necessary.

The student likely intended to say being tidy is necessary but used 'unnecessary' incorrectly. Double 'I' should be reduced to one. If the meaning was that tidiness is needed, use 'necessary'. Suggestion: choose the correct adjective to express intended meaning and avoid repeating words.

× Umm Firstly, keeping my house and workspace tidy can help me concentrate and work more efficiently.

✓ Firstly, keeping my house and workspace tidy helps me concentrate and work more efficiently.

The original is acceptable but using 'can help me' is wordy; using present simple 'helps' fits general truth and is more concise. Also add a comma after 'Firstly'. Suggestion: for general statements use present simple.

× Second, I also uh, can feel very relaxed or comfortable and happy when the house is.

✓ Second, I also feel very relaxed, comfortable, and happy when the house is tidy.

The original ends with 'when the house is' leaving the sentence incomplete; it needs the adjective 'tidy'. Remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary 'can' to state a general truth: 'I feel'. Use parallel adjectives separated by commas. Suggestion: complete clauses and keep parallel structure when listing feelings.
