Opportunities— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 「No, I didn’t.」と直接答えた後、「I didn’t join any sports clubs」や「I stayed at home」のように文法的に正しい文を続けてください。過去形では主語と動詞の一致に注意し、「I didn’t join」「my parents were」を使います。また、「or anywhere」は不自然なので、「or take part in other activities」と言い換えましょう。最後に、家にいた理由や当時の気持ちを具体的に加えると、内容がより発展します。

例: No, I didn’t have many opportunities to try new activities as a child. I didn’t join any sports clubs because my parents were very busy. As a result, I usually stayed at home and played with my toys or watched TV.

提案: まず「Yes, I think people should try different things whenever possible.」のように、質問への明確な意見を述べてください。「artifact」「divorce」は文脈に合わないため、「various activities」「new experiences」に置き換えます。また、「help us new our ideas」は不自然なので、「broaden our perspectives」や「discover our interests」と表現しましょう。理由を1つ、具体例を1つ加え、同じ語の繰り返しを避けると、より自然で効果的な回答になります。

例: Yes, I think people should try different things whenever possible. New experiences can broaden our perspectives and help us discover our interests. For example, someone might try cooking or learning a language and find a new hobby.

× No I didn't Um I mean I not joined any sport clubs or anywhere because my parents was very busy and I always stayed in my house.
