Headphones— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer slightly more informative and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, give one brief reason or context, and avoid vague words like "a lot." Use linking word if adding detail.

例: Yes, I often use headphones. For example, I wear them when commuting and when I want to listen to music quietly at home.

提案: Correct grammar and remove fillers. Start with a topic sentence naming the type, then give a specific reason using a linking word. Avoid redundancy (don’t repeat pronouns or articles incorrectly).

例: I use wireless headphones because they’re more convenient. For instance, I don’t have to deal with tangled cables when I walk around or exercise.

提案: Clarify the situations and correct unclear phrases. Use a topic sentence then two specific situations connected by a linking word. Remove hesitations and unclear phrases like "inform the drum."

例: I usually use headphones when I’m relaxing alone at home, and also when I’m exercising or running outside so I can listen to music or podcasts.

提案: Be concise and correct collocations. Start with a clear topic sentence, then briefly explain reasons using linking words. Replace awkward phrase "enjoy the night" with a clearer reason such as enjoying food or conversation.

例: I wouldn’t use headphones when I’m sleeping or eating. When I sleep I need silence, and when I eat I want to enjoy the taste of food and talk with others.

提案: Improve sentence structure and tense consistency. Start with a topic sentence, then add a contrasting detail using a linking word. Be specific about discomfort and avoid tense errors like "enjoyed very much to listen."

例: Generally, wearing headphones is comfortable because I enjoy listening to music, but after long periods—for example two or three hours—they start to hurt my ears and feel uncomfortable.

× I use a wireless headphones because they are, uh, more easier to use them.

✓ I use wireless headphones because they are easier to use.

The student used the singular article 'a' with the plural noun 'headphones' and included an unnecessary object pronoun 'them'. Also 'more easier' is redundant (comparative error) but according to the list we correct article and structure: remove 'a', change to 'wireless headphones', remove 'more' and the extra 'them'. Suggestion: use plural form without 'a' (headphones are plural) and avoid redundant comparatives; say 'easier' only.

× Uh, I use headphones when I, uh, sitting alone and I want to relax or I inform the drum when I do some exercise or, uh, running outside.

✓ Uh, I use headphones when I'm sitting alone and I want to relax, or when I work out or run outside.

The sentence needs the auxiliary verb 'am' + present participle for progressive 'sitting' (present continuous). 'I inform the drum' is unclear and likely incorrect; replaced with 'I work out' to match intended meaning. Use parallel structure for activities: 'work out or run' not 'doing some exercise or running' to be concise. Suggestion: use 'I'm sitting' and 'I work out' or 'I do exercise' consistently.

× MMM Of course when I'm sleeping or eating, because sleeping I want a quiet place to sleep and eating I want to enjoy the night.

✓ Of course when I'm sleeping or eating, because when I'm sleeping I want a quiet place, and when I'm eating I want to enjoy the meal.

Missing 'when' before clauses and incorrect phrasing 'enjoy the night' is likely wrong collocation; also repetition of gerund without auxiliary is awkward. Use 'when I'm sleeping' and 'when I'm eating' for parallelism, and use 'enjoy the meal' or 'enjoy my food' rather than 'enjoy the night'. Suggestion: add 'when' and choose appropriate collocations.

× Yes, it's comfortable because I enjoyed very much to listen, but it may not be comfortable when I worked a lot of hours, like for example 2 hours, 3 hours like that it is not comfortable at all.

✓ Yes, it's comfortable because I enjoy listening a lot, but it may not be comfortable when I work for many hours, for example two or three hours; then it is not comfortable at all.

Tense mismatch: 'enjoyed' (past) should be present 'enjoy' to match general statement. Infinitive 'to listen' should be noun or gerund 'listening'. 'Worked' should be present 'work' for habitual/general condition. Use 'for many hours' or 'for two or three hours' for clarity. Suggestion: keep present tense for general habits and use gerund after 'enjoy'.
