Headphones— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more natural and give a fuller, specific response. Start with a direct topic sentence, then briefly explain why with a reason and an example. Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid repeating words (e.g., ‘headphones’).

例: No, I usually don’t use headphones. I find them uncomfortable and prefer lighter in-ear earphones, for example when I travel on buses because earphones are less bulky.

提案: Answer the question directly using correct grammar and provide a brief clarification. Use a linking phrase (e.g., ‘instead’ or ‘rather’) and be specific about the model or style if possible.

例: I don’t own over-ear headphones; instead, I use small in-ear earphones. They’re compact and fit well during my daily commute.

提案: Give a fuller, natural answer by adding when and why you do this. Use a linking word to add detail and an example of situations or times of day.

例: I use them mainly when I’m listening to music, especially during my morning run or while studying, because they help me focus and enjoy my playlists.

提案: Correct grammar and provide clearer, more natural conditions with reasons. Use linking words like ‘for example’ or ‘because’ and avoid awkward phrases.

例: I wouldn’t use them when I’m sleeping or lying in bed because they can be uncomfortable and might fall out; instead I prefer listening to soft sounds from a speaker at low volume.

提案: Make the answer more natural and precise. Start with a clear opinion, then explain why with specific details about comfort and sound quality and use linking words such as ‘because’ or ‘although’.

例: Generally yes, they are comfortable for me because they produce clear sound and fit well in my ears, although I avoid long use because they can become tiring after a few hours.

× I don't have headphone, I prefer to use earphone.

✓ I don't have headphones; I prefer to use earphones.

The nouns 'headphone' and 'earphone' are countable and should be plural when referring to the general items. Use 'headphones' and 'earphones'. Also join clauses correctly with a semicolon or conjunction.

× While I'm sleeping or take a bed.

✓ While I'm sleeping or taking a nap in bed.

The original mixes 'while' with two different verb structures ('I'm sleeping' and 'take a bed'), causing a sentence structure error. Use parallel verb forms: 'I'm sleeping or taking' and use the natural phrase 'in bed' or 'taking a nap in bed'.

× Yes, because I can hear this sound good.

✓ Yes, because I can hear the sound well.

The adverb 'well' should be used to modify the verb 'hear', not the adjective 'good'. Also 'this sound' is awkward here; 'the sound' is more natural when referring to audio from headphones.
