Clothing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and vary vocabulary. Start with a clear topic sentence then add one specific reason and a short example. Avoid repeating phrases like “more comfortable” twice.

例: I prefer casual clothes such as T-shirts, blouses, shorts and trousers. They suit my everyday activities because they allow me to move freely; for instance, I can cycle or run errands without feeling restricted.

提案: Make the answer more structured: state your preference clearly, give one concise reason, and avoid over-explaining or grammatical errors. Use linking words (because, while) and correct subject-verb agreement.

例: I prefer comfortable, casual clothes because they let me move around easily. While smart clothes look neat, I find them restrictive; for example, I avoid crop tops because they expose my midriff and make me uncomfortable.

提案: Keep it brief and add a specific situation or example. Replace repetitive words and tighten phrasing.

例: Yes, I do. T-shirts are practical and comfortable, particularly for staying at home or running quick errands; for example, I usually wear a T-shirt when I go grocery shopping.

提案: Express the idea more naturally and provide one specific strategy you use when choosing clothes. Avoid redundant phrases like “self-conscious or I am too conscious.”

例: Yes, I do. I'm quite self-conscious about my appearance, so I often plan my outfit ahead and pick clothes that match the occasion — for example, more formal attire for interviews and casual wear for meeting friends.

提案: This answer is clear; improve coherence by using linking words and correcting minor repetition. Give one specific example of a weekday and weekend outfit.

例: Yes. On weekdays I usually wear casual T-shirts and blouses because I stay at home and want to be comfortable, while on weekends I dress up more — for instance, I might wear a floral dress when I meet friends.

提案: Use correct grammar (subject-verb agreement) and be specific about which pastel shades and why. Avoid vague phrasing like “feel more comfortable” for colors.

例: I like pastel colours, especially mint green and soft pink, because they look fresh and reflect sunlight better, so they feel cooler and more pleasant in warm weather.

× I prefer wearing comfortable and casual clothes because they allow me to move freely and it doesn't bother me much, unlike crop tops or hanging blouses that always bothers me because my stomach or abdomen is quite revealed.

✓ I prefer wearing comfortable and casual clothes because they allow me to move freely and they don't bother me much, unlike crop tops or hanging blouses that always bother me because my stomach or abdomen is quite revealed.

Subject-pronoun agreement and verb form: 'it doesn't bother me' is incorrect because the subject refers to 'comfortable and casual clothes' (plural), so the correct verb is 'they don't bother me'. Similarly, 'that always bothers me' refers to 'crop tops or hanging blouses' (plural), so use 'bother' not 'bothers'. Replace singular verb forms with plural 'they don't' and 'bother'. Suggestion: ensure verbs agree with their subjects in number; identify the noun ('clothes', plural) and use plural verbs.

× Yes, I like wearing T-shirts because they are more practical and more comfortable to wear, especially when I am only staying at home or when I'm going somewhere that doesn't require much effort on wearing clothes.

✓ Yes, I like wearing T-shirts because they are more practical and more comfortable to wear, especially when I am staying at home or when I'm going somewhere that doesn't require much effort to get dressed.

Awkward and incorrect prepositional phrase: 'doesn't require much effort on wearing clothes' is ungrammatical. Use 'require much effort to get dressed' or 'to put on clothes'. Also 'only staying at home' is better as 'staying at home'. Suggestion: use 'to + verb' after 'require' and prefer idiomatic 'get dressed' rather than 'wearing clothes' in this context.

× Yes, I spend a lot of time choosing clothes because I am self-conscious or I am too conscious of how I look and I always make sure that what I am wearing will suit where I am going.

✓ Yes, I spend a lot of time choosing clothes because I am self-conscious about how I look and I always make sure that what I am wearing will suit the place I'm going to.

Preposition and phrasing: 'self-conscious or I am too conscious of how I look' is repetitive and awkward; combine into 'self-conscious about how I look'. Also 'suit where I am going' is better as 'suit the place I'm going to' or 'suit where I'm going'. Suggestion: avoid repetition and use correct prepositions ('self-conscious about') and idiomatic phrasing ('suit the place').

× I wear different styles of clothes. For example, on weekdays I prefer wearing casual clothes or simple T-shirts and blouses because I want to be more comfortable and I usually stay at home on week days, while on weekends I prefer wearing dresses and crop tops.

✓ I wear different styles of clothes. For example, on weekdays I prefer wearing casual clothes, like simple T-shirts and blouses, because I want to be more comfortable and I usually stay at home on weekdays, while on weekends I prefer wearing dresses and crop tops.

Spacing and plurality: 'week days' should be 'weekdays' (one word). Also punctuation and wording improved for clarity by adding 'like' and commas. Suggestion: use standard compound noun 'weekdays' and tidy list punctuation.

× The color of clothes that I like are the pastel ones because they look refreshing and they feel more comfortable because they don't look like it's very hot.

✓ The colors of clothes that I like are pastel because they look refreshing and feel more comfortable since they don't make it look very hot.

Agreement and awkward phrasing: 'The color of clothes that I like are' mixes singular 'color' with plural verb 'are'; change to 'The colors of clothes' or 'The color of the clothes that I like is'. Also 'they don't look like it's very hot' is awkward; intended meaning is that pastel colors don't make it seem very hot, so use 'they don't make it look very hot' or 'they don't feel very hot'. Suggestion: ensure noun and verb agree in number and use clearer phrasing (e.g., 'pastel colors' and 'don't make it look very hot').
