Keys— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the response more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two brief reasons with linking words, and avoid repeating ideas. Use slightly more varied vocabulary (e.g., 'carry' instead of 'bring') and split long sentences into shorter ones to improve clarity.

例: I don't carry many keys. I only have my apartment key because carrying lots of keys makes them easy to lose, so I prefer to keep things minimal.

提案: This answer is clear and coherent. To improve, add a brief reflection or consequence using a linking word (e.g., 'therefore' or 'as a result') and vary vocabulary slightly (e.g., 'couldn't locate' instead of 'couldn't find'). Keep it to two or three sentences.

例: Yes, I have. Once, after coming home from school in winter, my key fell out of my pocket into the snow and I couldn't locate it. As a result, I had to call my mum to let me in.

提案: Be more concise and use linking words to structure the story (e.g., 'however', 'once'). Avoid redundancy ('I was in a hurry' implies forgetting, so no need to repeat). Use past tense consistently and shorten the sentence into two parts: frequency and a specific example.

例: I don't often forget my keys. However, once I was in a hurry to meet a friend and left without them, so I locked myself out and couldn't enter my apartment.

提案: Start with a clear opinion, then give one or two concise reasons using linking words like 'because' or 'unless'. Avoid hedging phrases ('I wouldn't say') and tighten vocabulary ('neighbors' spelling consistency). Offer an alternative if possible.

例: No, I don't think it's a good idea. Unless you're close friends with your neighbour, leaving keys with them is risky because you may not trust them; instead, use a secure lockbox or a trusted friend.

× My key fell out of my pocket into the snow and I couldn't find it so I had to call my mom to let me in.

✓ My key fell out of my pocket into the snow and I couldn't find it, so I had to call my mom to let me in.

The sentence lacked a necessary comma before the coordinating conjunction 'so' that links two independent clauses. This is a punctuation issue affecting sentence clarity rather than verb form, but it relates to sentence structure. Add a comma before 'so' when it connects two independent clauses to improve readability and correctness.

× I wouldn't say that I often forget the keys, but once it happened to me when I was in hurry to meet my friend and I forgot my key and at the end I locked myself out and couldn't enter my apartment.

✓ I wouldn't say that I often forget my keys, but once it happened to me when I was in a hurry to meet my friend; I forgot my key and eventually locked myself out and couldn't enter my apartment.

Several issues: 'forget the keys' sounds unnatural—use 'my keys' for possession (pronoun usage tied to articles). 'in hurry' needs the article 'a' (article error). Run-on sentence: joining multiple independent ideas requires punctuation (semicolon or separate sentences) or coordinating conjunctions. 'at the end' is better as 'eventually' for natural adverb placement. Suggestions: use 'my keys', include 'a hurry', break long sentences into clearer clauses, and choose appropriate adverbs.

× From my perspective, it is not a great idea because I wouldn't say that people know their neighbors enough unless they're being friends with them, and it might be dangerous because you don't know the person well enough.

✓ From my perspective, it is not a great idea because I wouldn't say that people know their neighbors well enough unless they are friends with them, and it might be dangerous because you don't know the person well enough.

Pronoun and verb form issues: 'they're being friends with them' is awkward and incorrect; use 'they are friends with them' or simply 'they are friends' (present simple). Also 'know their neighbors enough' is unnatural; use 'know their neighbors well enough' (adverb placement). Suggestions: use 'well enough' after the verb, avoid progressive 'being friends' for states, and keep pronouns consistent.

× The only key I always have with me is the key from my apartment and I think I shouldn't bring a lot of keys with me because I can easily lose them somewhere and I don't think that's a good thing, so I only have one key.

✓ The only key I always have with me is my apartment key, and I don't think I should carry many keys because I could easily lose them, so I only have one.

Pronoun and article usage: 'the key from my apartment' is wordy; 'my apartment key' is more natural. 'I think I shouldn't' is acceptable but 'I don't think I should' is more natural word order (sentence structure). 'Bring a lot of keys' is better as 'carry many keys' (word choice and quantifier). Use conditional 'could' for possibility ('could easily lose them'). Suggestions: prefer concise noun phrases, use natural word order for beliefs ('I don't think I should'), and choose appropriate quantifiers ('many' instead of 'a lot of' in this context).

× Yes I have. It happened when I came home from school in winter.

✓ Yes, I have. It happened when I came home from school in the winter.

Article omission: add a comma after 'Yes' for clarity and use the definite article 'the' before 'winter' when referring to a particular season in a past context ('in the winter'). Suggestions: include small punctuation and article changes to make the sentence natural: 'Yes, I have.' and 'in the winter'.
