Clothing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be slightly more specific and add a brief reason or example to enrich the answer. Keep it concise (1–3 supporting details) and avoid repeating the same idea. Use a linking word to connect the reason.

例: I like to wear baggy, dark-colored clothes because they are comfortable and low-maintenance. For example, I often choose an oversized hoodie and loose jeans when I go out, as they let me move freely and don’t need much ironing.

提案: Avoid repeating the same word twice (comfortable) and tighten the answer by using a linking phrase. Give one concrete situation to illustrate your preference and keep sentences clear and varied.

例: I prefer comfortable, casual clothes because they make me feel relaxed when I’m out walking. For instance, when I run errands I usually wear a loose T-shirt and joggers so I can move easily and stay comfortable all day.

提案: Avoid informal fillers like “No kidding” in test settings. Use a clear topic sentence and add a brief reason or specific example (when you wear them or which features you like).

例: Yes, I do like wearing T-shirts and casual shirts. In particular, I like checked flannel shirts because the soft fabric keeps me warm and the pattern looks smart for casual outings.

提案: Be more precise and avoid vague phrases like “what's in there.” Use linking words to explain your approach and give one specific example of your decision process.

例: No, I don’t spend much time choosing clothes. I usually pick whatever looks comfortable and slightly stylish; for example, I’ll choose a plain dark hoodie rather than a flashy jacket because it’s practical and suits most occasions.

提案: Correct repetition (“my choice of my choice”) and avoid filler words like “very puffy fluffy.” Use clear linking words to contrast mood vs routine and provide concise, specific examples for weekday vs weekend if relevant.

例: Not really; I usually dress according to my mood and the weather rather than the day of the week. For instance, on sunny weekends I might wear a floral shirt, while in winter I choose a thick wool coat for warmth.

提案: Avoid repeating the same phrase and the negative filler “No.” State your preference clearly, then give a brief, specific reason (e.g., practical, modest, or suits your style). Use one linking word to connect reason.

例: I prefer dark-coloured clothes because they look neat and are easy to match. For example, I often wear navy or charcoal since they hide stains well and give a more understated appearance.

× On some days, I choose just to wear a baggy T-shirt that goes down.

✓ On some days, I just choose to wear a baggy T-shirt that hangs down.

The original sentence has awkward word choice 'goes down' and misplaced adverb order. Use 'just choose to wear' or 'choose just to wear'—better 'I just choose to wear'. 'Goes down' is informal and unclear; for clothing use 'hangs down'. Improve by placing 'just' before 'choose' and using the correct verb 'hangs' for how a shirt falls.

× My choice of my choice of clothing depends on my mood and the weather.

✓ My choice of clothing depends on my mood and the weather.

The sentence repeats 'my choice of' causing redundancy and a sentence structure error. Removing the duplicate phrase corrects it. Also 'choice of clothing' is the correct singular noun phrase.

× For example, on sunny days I wear floral shirts, dresses and on the winter days I wear very puffy fluffy clothes, mostly made of wool.

✓ For example, on sunny days I wear floral shirts and dresses, and in winter I wear very puffy, fluffy clothes, mostly made of wool.

Problems: missing 'and' between items, awkward 'on the winter days' should be 'in winter' or 'on winter days'. Also punctuation: add comma between adjectives 'puffy, fluffy'. Reorder to join clauses with 'and'. These fixes make the sentence grammatically correct and natural.

× I prefer dark colored clothes.

✓ I prefer dark-colored clothes.

When two words act as a single modifier before a noun, use a hyphen: 'dark-colored clothes'. Without hyphen the phrase is acceptable in informal writing, but hyphenation is standard to avoid ambiguity.

× Dark colored clothes display the kind of person that I am.

✓ Dark-colored clothes reflect the kind of person I am.

The verb 'display' is awkward here; 'reflect' or 'show' is more natural for describing how clothing indicates personality. Also remove 'that' for concise English: 'the kind of person I am.' Hyphenate 'dark-colored' as above.

× No kidding, I do.

✓ Yes, I do.

'No kidding' is colloquial and can sound informal or sarcastic. For a standard spoken answer, 'Yes, I do' is clearer and directly answers the question. This is a stylistic correction to fit test register.

× When picking clothes, I don't really look at what's in there.

✓ When picking clothes, I don't really look at what's in fashion.

'What's in there' is unclear and likely meant 'what's in fashion' (what's available/trendy). If the speaker meant 'in my wardrobe', use that. Replace with clearer phrase. This fixes sentence clarity and structure.

× I wear very puffy fluffy clothes, mostly made of wool.

✓ I wear very puffy, fluffy clothes, mostly made of wool.

Two adjectives before a noun should be separated by a comma: 'puffy, fluffy'. This clarifies meaning and improves readability. Also keep adjective order natural.

× Not too stylish to attract attention, but something that catches my eye.

✓ Not too stylish to attract attention, but something that catches my eye.

This fragment is acceptable as spoken English following the previous sentence; no grammatical change needed. It is a sentence fragment but in conversation it's fine. No correction required under provided grammar list.
