Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Good clear answer with relevant details and natural language. To improve, make the response slightly more varied and concise: start with a topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons or a brief example. Avoid small redundancy (e.g., “just a simple tomato sauce” could be streamlined).

例: I love homemade pasta because it has a better texture and fresher taste than store-bought varieties. For example, I often make tagliatelle with basil pesto on weekends, and I usually enjoy it with a glass of red wine to complement the flavors.

提案: Content is relevant and direct but contains grammar mistakes and some vagueness. Improve by fixing tense/grammar (e.g., “because it was cheap and tasted great”), adding a linking phrase, and including a brief reason or contrast with current habits to enrich the reply.

例: When I was younger I ate a lot of fast food, especially pizza and hamburgers, because it was cheap and convenient. However, now I prefer cooking at home, so I only eat fast food occasionally.

提案: Good structure and a clear example. To improve, make the winter part complete and add a linking word to contrast seasons. Be specific about winter choices and keep sentences concise.

例: Yes, I adjust my meals by season: in summer I eat lots of fresh salads with lettuce and tomatoes, while in winter I cook hearty dishes with root vegetables like carrots and potatoes because they keep well and are warming.

提案: Clear, direct answer with comparison and reasons — very good. To improve further, combine ideas into two concise sentences and add a brief example of how homemade pasta differs (e.g., fresh egg pasta vs dried) to show more specific vocabulary.

例: Not really — I loved pasta as a child and I still do. Nowadays I prefer homemade pasta, such as fresh egg tagliatelle, because its texture is silkier and the flavor is more pronounced than dried pasta.

× I often went to Domino's Pizza because was cheap and taste great.

✓ I often went to Domino's Pizza because it was cheap and tasted great.

Missing subject 'it' for the clause and verbs do not match past tense. The sentence describes past habits, so use past tense consistently: 'was' requires a subject 'it'; 'taste' should be past 'tasted'. Suggestion: always include the subject in clauses and ensure verbs agree in tense with the time frame.

× For instance, in summer I prefer lettuce and tomatoes because they are fresh while in winter.

✓ For instance, in summer I prefer lettuce and tomatoes because they are fresh, while in winter I prefer heartier vegetables.

Original sentence contrasts seasons but leaves the winter clause incomplete, causing awkward present-tense structure. The sentence should explicitly state the winter preference to complete the contrast. Maintain present tense for habitual preferences and provide a parallel structure: 'in summer... while in winter I prefer...'.

× When I was younger I used to eat a lot of junk food or fast food, especially pizza and hamburgers.

✓ When I was younger, I used to eat a lot of junk food, especially pizza and hamburgers.

The phrase 'junk food or fast food' is redundant and creates awkward coordination. Choose one term; 'junk food' covers fast food. Also add a comma after the introductory clause 'When I was younger' for correct sentence structure. Suggestion: avoid redundant synonyms in the same phrase and punctuate introductory clauses.
