Views— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a fuller, natural response with a topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Avoid one-word answers. Use linking words if you add reasons or examples. Be specific about what kinds of views you like and why.

例: Yes, I enjoy taking pictures of different views because it helps me remember places. For example, I often photograph city skylines at dusk and nearby mountain landscapes in the morning light, which capture very different moods.

提案: Answer directly to the question with a clear preference and explain briefly. Don’t reply with a single word; instead state your choice and give 1–2 supporting reasons using linking words (e.g., because, whereas).

例: I prefer views in rural areas because the countryside feels quieter and the natural scenes are more varied. For instance, I like photographing fields and rivers, whereas urban views can be crowded and less peaceful.

提案: Provide a direct, coherent answer indicating a preference or mixed view, then clarify with reasons and an example. Avoid filler sounds like “mmm” and use linking words to organize your explanation (e.g., although, however, because).

例: I usually prefer views in my own country because I know the best spots and can visit them often; however, I also enjoy scenic views abroad when I travel, especially coastal landscapes that are unique to certain countries.

× Yes, I like.

✓ Yes, I do.

The examiner asked a yes/no question 'Do you like taking pictures of different views?' The student's reply 'Yes, I like.' is incomplete because the verb needs the auxiliary 'do' for short answers in present simple. This is a sentence structure and auxiliary usage issue. Suggestion: Use 'Yes, I do.' for affirmative short answers to 'Do' questions, or 'Yes, I like taking pictures.' for a full sentence.

× No.

✓ I prefer rural areas.

The examiner asked 'Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?' Responding 'No.' is ungrammatical and does not answer the question. This is a sentence structure/ellipsis error rather than a simple agreement; the student should state a preference. Suggestion: Answer directly with 'I prefer urban areas.' or 'I prefer rural areas.' or 'I don't have a preference.'

× MMM however.

✓ Well, however, I prefer views in my own country.

The examiner asked 'Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?' The student's 'MMM however.' is not a grammatical sentence and does not answer the question. This is a sentence structure and discourse cohesion error. Suggestion: Provide a clear comparative response such as 'I prefer views in my own country' or 'I prefer views in other countries' and, if using a discourse marker, place it appropriately: 'Well, however, I prefer...'.
