Clothing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a fuller, natural response: start with a clear topic sentence and add one or two brief supporting details. Avoid one-word answers. Use linking words if you add details.

例: I usually like wearing casual shirts. For example, I prefer lightweight cotton shirts because they’re comfortable and breathable in hot weather.

提案: This answer is good: it has a clear topic sentence and a reason. To improve, add a short contrasting clause or an exception and use a linking word for coherence (for example, “however” or “but”). Keep it to two or three sentences.

例: I prefer comfortable, casual clothes because the Philippines is hot and humid, so breathable fabrics are best. However, I wear smart clothes for special events or work when needed.

提案: Respond directly to the question rather than giving unrelated phrases. Use a clear topic sentence and one short reason or example. Keep it natural and concise.

例: Yes, I like wearing T-shirts because they are comfortable and easy to move in. For instance, I often wear a cotton T-shirt when I go out with friends.

提案: The short answer is acceptable, but expand slightly to make it natural. Add a brief reason or an example with a linking word (e.g., “because” or “so”).

例: No, not really, because I usually pick simple outfits that are easy to match. For example, I often choose a plain shirt and jeans when I’m in a hurry.

提案: Give a direct answer plus a specific supporting detail to show contrast between weekdays and weekends. Use linking words like “during” or “while” to connect ideas.

例: Yes, I do. During weekdays I wear more formal or smart-casual clothes for work, while on weekends I prefer relaxed clothes like T-shirts and shorts.

提案: State your preference clearly and give specific reasons or associations. Avoid filler phrases like “I don’t know.” Use linking words to add one or two concise supporting details and correct small grammar issues.

例: I like purple because it’s a calm, pleasant colour and it suits my skin tone. Also, purple reminds me of my childhood bedroom, so it feels comforting.

× A shirt.

✓ I like wearing shirts.

The original response is a fragment; the question asks 'What kind of clothes do you like to wear?' A full sentence is required. Use plural 'shirts' to indicate a type of clothing generally. Suggestion: provide a complete sentence that fits the question context, e.g., 'I like wearing shirts.'

× I prefer to wear comfortable clothes because in the Philippines, the weather here is hot and it's very humid.

✓ I prefer to wear comfortable clothes because the weather in the Philippines is hot and very humid.

The phrase 'in the Philippines, the weather here' is redundant and awkward. Use simple present tense and correct word order: 'the weather in the Philippines.' Also avoid repeating 'here' when location is already stated. Suggestion: streamline to 'the weather in the Philippines is hot and very humid.'

× Good job!

✓ Yes, I do.

The examiner asked 'Do you like wearing T-shirts?' The student's reply 'Good job!' is inappropriate and not an answer. Provide a grammatically correct response to the yes/no question using present simple: 'Yes, I do.' or 'No, I don't.' Suggestion: answer directly and, if desired, add a reason: 'Yes, I do because they are comfortable.'

× No, not really.

✓ No, I don't spend a lot of time choosing clothes.

The short reply 'No, not really.' is conversationally acceptable but incomplete for correction task. To match the question 'Do you spend a lot of time choosing clothes?' use present simple with auxiliary 'do': 'No, I don't spend a lot of time choosing clothes.' Suggestion: use full sentence for clarity.

× Yes.

✓ Yes, I wear different styles on weekdays and weekends.

Single-word reply 'Yes.' is grammatically minimal. To fully answer 'Do you wear different styles of clothes on weekdays and weekends?' use present simple with subject and verb: 'Yes, I wear different styles on weekdays and weekends.' Suggestion: expand short answers into full sentences.

× So I like The Color Purple because it is good in the eyes and and it reminds me of a I don't know.

✓ I like the color purple because it is pleasing to the eye and it reminds me of something I can't describe.

Errors: capitalization ('The Color Purple' should be 'the color purple' when referring to a color), duplicated 'and and', awkward phrase 'good in the eyes' (use 'pleasing to the eye' or 'easy on the eyes'), and incomplete clause 'reminds me of a I don't know.' Correct by using 'something I can't describe.' Also ensure article usage and word order are correct. Suggestion: say 'I like the color purple because it is pleasing to the eye and it reminds me of something I can't describe.'
