Memory— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is natural, directly addresses the question, and gives a clear example and technique. To improve further, shorten slightly to avoid minor redundancy (two sentences repeating the same point) and add one linking phrase to make the reasoning flow even more coherently.

例: Yes, I am. I often remember quotes and dialogues from films and books, and I find that reading actively helps. For instance, I repeat key lines to myself a few times and use brief notes, so I can retain important phrases more quickly.

提案: This is a strong, concise response with a specific, relevant example. To reach perfection, add a short linking phrase to make the cause-effect relation explicit and correct a minor phrasing issue (e.g., 'I was so tired/excited'—choose one) for clarity.

例: Yes, I have, especially during busy exam periods. For example, after staying up all night to study, I was so tired that I left my ID card at home and had to rush back, which almost caused me to miss the exam.

提案: Good direct response with two clear points and reasons. Improve by using correct article/forms ('a resident' → 'a resident' might be okay but 'as a resident' could be clarified) and plural form ('services'), and include a linking word to connect the two ideas smoothly.

例: I always carry my ID card because, as a resident, I often need it for official procedures or when I use certain services. Also, I stick to my daily schedule because having a clear plan helps me manage time efficiently and reach my goals.

提案: The answer attempts to describe useful techniques but contains several grammar and word-choice errors that reduce clarity (e.g., 'rising down', 'repeating swallow times', 'reharge', 'transforced'). To improve, use correct verbs (jot down, repeat, rehearse), provide a clear sequence with linking words, and limit to two to three concise sentences explaining the method and result.

例: I usually jot down key points and then rehearse them several times. For example, before a presentation I write a short script and practise it aloud a few times, which reinforces my memory and makes me feel more confident about the main points.

× I usually rising down and repeating swallow times.

✓ I usually write things down and repeat them several times.

The original sentence uses incorrect verb forms: 'rising down' and 'repeating swallow times' are ungrammatical. The intended actions are writing down and repeating; 'write' should be in base form with appropriate tense 'write things down', and 'several times' is the correct phrase instead of 'swallow times'. Use clear verbs and common collocations: 'write things down' and 'repeat them several times'. Suggested improvement: use simple present active verbs for habitual actions and common adverbial phrases ('several times').

× For example, when I have a presentation, I jot a script on paper and reharge it around a few times.

✓ For example, when I have a presentation, I jot a script on paper and rehearse it a few times.

The word 'reharge' is not an English verb; the correct verb is 'rehearse'. Also 'around a few times' is awkward — use 'a few times' for frequency. Pronoun issue: 'it' correctly refers to 'a script', so keep 'it' after correction. Suggested improvement: choose the correct verb and a natural adverbial phrase: 'rehearse it a few times'. Note: This error primarily involves a wrong verb choice and awkward adverbial phrase; it was categorized under incorrect use of pronouns because 'it' must match a proper verb phrase context.

× This transforced my memory and makes me feel more confident about the key point.

✓ This reinforced my memory and made me feel more confident about the key points.

'Transforced' is not a valid English verb; the intended meaning is 'reinforced'. Maintain tense consistency: the surrounding context describes a past event (preparation for a presentation), so use past tense 'reinforced' and 'made'. Also 'key point' should be plural if referring generally to the main items recalled: 'key points' or keep singular if only one point is meant. Suggested improvement: use a real verb that conveys strengthening memory ('reinforced') and ensure verbs follow the same tense ('reinforced' / 'made').

× I always carry my ID card because as a resident I often need it for official procedures or when I use certain service.

✓ I always carry my ID card because, as a resident, I often need it for official procedures or when I use certain services.

The phrase 'certain service' is singular and missing an article; context requires a plural noun 'services' or 'a certain service'. Also add commas around the introductory phrase 'as a resident' for clarity. Suggested improvement: use plural 'services' when speaking generally about types of service, or 'a certain service' if referring to one specific service.
