Tiredness— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence stating how often you feel tired, then add one or two brief reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "for example"). Keep responses natural and within 3–4 sentences. Avoid repeating the examiner's question.

例: Yes, I often feel tired, especially at the end of the workday because I usually work long hours. For example, after a full day at the office I feel mentally drained, so I prefer to relax at home and avoid social activities.

提案: Give a specific time or situation as a topic sentence, then support it with reasons or a short example using linking words like "because", "when", or "for instance". Be careful with tense and avoid mirroring the examiner's phrasing incorrectly.

例: I usually feel tired in the late afternoon, especially after several hours of concentrated work because my energy drops then. For instance, I start to yawn and lose focus around 4 pm, so I take a short walk to refresh myself.

提案: Start with a direct topic sentence describing what you do, then expand with specific details and a reason or result using linking words like "so", "because", or "for example". Avoid one-word or very short answers and include varied vocabulary (e.g., "take a short nap", "go for a walk", "do light stretching").

例: When I feel tired, I usually take a short rest and sometimes a 20-minute nap because it helps me regain energy. If I can't nap, I go for a quick walk or do some light stretching so I can concentrate better afterwards.

× Do you often feel tired?

✓ Yes, I often feel tired.

The student repeated the examiner's question instead of giving an answer. This is a sentence structure/use issue: a reply should be a statement rather than a question. Suggestion: respond with a simple statement such as 'Yes, I often feel tired' or 'No, I don't often feel tired' to directly answer the question.

× When will you feel tired?

✓ I feel tired in the evening or after a long day.

The student repeated the examiner's future-tense question instead of answering. The examiner asked 'When would you feel tired?' which expects a habitual or conditional timeframe (present/frequency), not a question repetition. Suggestion: use present simple to describe habitual timing (e.g. 'I feel tired in the evening' or 'I feel tired after a long day').

× When I feel tired, I just get a rest.

✓ When I feel tired, I just rest.

The phrase 'get a rest' is grammatically possible but less natural in this context. More natural and concise is 'rest.' This is a sentence structure/style issue. Suggestion: prefer 'rest' or 'take a rest' ('take a rest' is also acceptable) so the answer fits spoken English norms: 'When I feel tired, I just rest' or 'When I feel tired, I just take a rest.'

× Yeah, that's it.

✓ That's it.

Using 'Yeah' is informal and repeating 'that's it' as an independent fragment is acceptable in spoken English, but as an answer keep it concise. This is a minor sentence structure/style issue. Suggestion: simply say 'That's it' to signal completion of the answer.
