Tiredness— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly and avoid repeating words. Use the adverb “sometimes” correctly, and explain the result of going to bed late more naturally. Add one specific detail about how often you feel tired or how it affects you.

例: Yes, I sometimes feel tired, especially when I go to bed late. As a result, I have to wake up early for work, so I often feel sleepy in the morning. However, I usually feel better after having breakfast and a cup of coffee.

提案: The answer is relevant but needs a more natural expression: say “when I come home from work” rather than “when I come from work.” You could also add a reason or a specific description to develop your answer.

例: I usually feel tired when I come home from work, especially after a busy day. I also feel exhausted late at night if I have had to work overtime. At those times, I just want to relax and go to bed.

提案: Your answer is grammatically correct and direct, but it is too short to demonstrate a wider range of language. Add a supporting detail, such as what you do before sleeping or how long you rest.

例: When I feel tired, I usually take a short break or go to sleep early. If I am at work, I might drink some water and rest for a few minutes first. In the evening, I normally go to bed around ten o’clock.

提案: Give a clear main answer and use a linking word to explain the conditions. The phrase “sometimes no” is unnatural; use “sometimes I don’t” or “it depends.” Add a specific example to make the response more effective.

例: It depends on how tired I am. If I am only a little tired, I still go out with my friends because it helps me relax. However, if I have had a particularly busy day, I stay home and go to bed early.

× Yes, I feel tired sometime.

✓ Yes, I sometimes feel tired.

Use sometimes, not sometime, when you mean that something happens occasionally. Sometime usually refers to an unspecified point in time, as in I will call you sometime next week. The adverb sometimes is commonly placed before the main verb feel.

× Sometimes I go to sleep late, so I wake up and I wake up all early.

✓ Sometimes I go to sleep late, so I wake up early.

All early is not a correct adverbial expression in this sentence. Use early to describe the time at which you wake up. The repeated phrase I wake up is unnecessary, so removing it makes the sentence clearer and more natural.

× I feel tired when I come from work or late at night.

✓ I feel tired when I come home from work or when it is late at night.

The sentence needs a complete structure after or. Late at night is only a time phrase and does not contain a subject and verb. Adding when it is creates a complete clause. Come home from work is also the more natural expression for arriving home after work.

× Sometimes I go, sometimes no.

✓ Sometimes I go out, and sometimes I do not.

The second part, sometimes no, does not contain a verb. Use do not to form the negative response because the main verb is go. Adding and also connects the two contrasting clauses more clearly.
