Friends— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Ответ по существу, но есть проблемы с грамматикой, повторения и неестественные формулировки. Используйте структуру «In the past…, whereas now…». Исправьте формы: “where we meet”, “we liked walking”, “we like meeting”. Добавьте короткую причину, например, что кафе удобнее или спокойнее.

例: Yes, there is a difference. In the past, we liked walking to the park, whereas now we usually meet in cafés or restaurants. They are more comfortable, especially when the weather is bad.

提案: Ответ трудно понять, поэтому необходимо использовать простые и ясные слова. Начните с прямого ответа: подходящие места должны быть удобными и спокойными. Затем объясните, что шумные или переполненные места не подходят, и приведите пример.

例: Some places are suitable because they are quiet, comfortable and easy to get to. For example, a small café is a good place to talk. In contrast, noisy or crowded places can make communication difficult.

提案: Основная идея понятна, но ответ содержит много повторов и ошибок в местоимениях. Скажите прямо: “I prefer spending time with one close friend”. Используйте “with her”, а не “with she”, и объясните причину — например, так легче разговаривать и поддерживать личный контакт.

例: I prefer spending time with one close friend because I feel more relaxed that way. We can have a meaningful conversation without being interrupted. I also enjoy spending quality time with her.

提案: Выражена хорошая идея о разнице между одним другом и группой, но присутствуют повторы и неестественные сочетания. Дайте более определённый ответ и используйте связку “However”. Вместо “It’s terrible” лучше сказать “It can be stressful or noisy”, чтобы объяснить причину.

例: Yes, I would invite one or two close friends to my home. I enjoy cooking for them and having a relaxed conversation. However, I would not invite a large group because it can be noisy and difficult to organize.

提案: Ваше мнение понятно, но фраза “I like Leave someone with me” неясна. Исправьте согласование: “Friends are not very important to me”. Чётко объясните, что вы цените независимость и предпочитаете проводить свободное время в одиночестве, но можно кратко признать пользу дружбы.

例: Friends are important, but they are not the most important part of my life. I enjoy having time to myself because I am quite independent. However, I still appreciate having a few close friends.

提案: Ответ начинается правильно с “sometimes”, но причина сформулирована с ошибками и содержит повтор. Используйте “I’m studying and learning languages, so I don’t have much time”. Добавьте конкретный пример того, как часто вы встречаетесь.

例: I sometimes go out with my friends, but not very often. I am studying and learning languages, so I do not have much free time. Usually, we meet once or twice a month for coffee.

提案: Основной ответ релевантен, но нужно добавить глагол-связку и исправить формы: “because we are classmates” и “we study together”. Завершите мысль конкретной темой разговора, например учёбой и повседневными делами.

例: We usually meet at school because we are classmates. We often talk during the breaks or after lessons. We discuss our studies, homework and everyday life.

提案: Ответ содержит неестественное выражение “gossip girl” и ошибочную конструкцию “do smoking”. Используйте “chat” или “gossip” как глагол и “go for a walk”. Лучше избегать упоминания курения как основного занятия и привести более естественные действия: разговор, прогулка или кофе.

例: Usually, my friends and I chat and go for a walk. We sometimes have coffee together and talk about our studies and personal lives. It is a relaxing way to spend time together.

提案: Ответ понятен и содержит конкретное имя и продолжительность знакомства, но есть повторы и ошибка в конструкции. Скажите “I have known her for two or three years” и добавьте одну причину, почему она важна для вас. Для IELTS лучше использовать “I care about her a lot” вместо слишком эмоционального “I love her” в данном контексте.

例: Yes, my best friend is Alina, and I have known her for about two or three years. We became close because we have similar interests and always support each other. I really value our friendship.

× Yes where meat is very different in the past and in now in the past we like walk, walked to the park and now we like coffee and restaurants.

✓ Yes, where we meet is very different now from where we met in the past. In the past, we liked walking to the park, and now we like going to cafés and restaurants.

The plural subject we meet requires the plural verb meet. Also, places such as cafés and restaurants should be expressed with plural nouns because the speaker is referring to places in general.

× Yes where meat is very different in the past and in now in the past we like walk, walked to the park and now we like coffee and restaurants.

✓ Yes, where we meet is very different now from where we met in the past. In the past, we liked walking to the park, and now we like going to cafés and restaurants.

The phrase in the past requires past-tense verbs. Therefore, like changes to liked, and meet changes to met when referring to past habits.

× Yes where meat is very different in the past and in now in the past we like walk, walked to the park and now we like coffee and restaurants.

✓ Yes, where we meet is very different now from where we met in the past. In the past, we liked walking to the park, and now we like going to cafés and restaurants.

The verb like is followed by a gerund when describing an activity: liked walking. After like, use a verb ending in -ing or an infinitive with to, such as liked to walk.

× We are someplace to be able for meeting is simple volcanic simple love

✓ Some places are suitable for meeting because they are simple, convenient, and pleasant.

The answer refers to places in general, so the plural noun places and the plural verb are are needed. A singular form such as place is not appropriate here.

× We are someplace to be able for meeting is simple volcanic simple love

✓ Some places are suitable for meeting because they are simple, convenient, and pleasant.

After the preposition for, use the -ing form: for meeting. However, suitable for meeting is the natural grammatical expression in this context.

× I really prefer to spend time with one friend because it's a group of friends not for me not for me Vivi my friend, one friend. I'm really enjoying this time with she

✓ I really prefer to spend time with one friend because groups of friends are not suitable for me. I prefer spending time with my friend Vivi, just one friend. I really enjoy spending time with her.

The subject groups of friends is plural, so it must be followed by are, not is. The pronoun she is a subject pronoun; after the preposition with, use the object pronoun her.

× I really prefer to spend time with one friend because it's a group of friends not for me not for me Vivi my friend, one friend. I'm really enjoying this time with she

✓ I really prefer spending time with one friend because groups of friends are not suitable for me. I prefer spending time with my friend Vivi, just one friend. I really enjoy spending time with her.

After prefer, both prefer spending and prefer to spend are possible, but prefer spending is more natural when discussing a general preference. After enjoy, use a gerund: enjoy spending.

× I really prefer to spend time with one friend because it's a group of friends not for me not for me Vivi my friend, one friend. I'm really enjoying this time with she

✓ I really prefer to spend time with one friend because groups of friends are not suitable for me. I prefer spending time with my friend Vivi, just one friend. I really enjoy spending time with her.

She is used as the subject of a sentence. Because it follows with, the correct object pronoun is her.

× Maybe yes may be no because I invite my one friend to my home. I'm really delighted excited it's very good however I invite a group of friends to my home. It's terrible.

✓ Maybe yes, maybe no. When I invite one friend to my home, I feel really delighted and excited; it is very pleasant. However, when I invite a group of friends to my home, it is terrible.

The answer describes a general preference, so the present simple is appropriate. The conditional time clause beginning with when should also use the present simple: when I invite.

× Maybe yes may be no because I invite my one friend to my home. I'm really delighted excited it's very good however I invite a group of friends to my home. It's terrible.

✓ Maybe yes, maybe no. When I invite one friend to my home, I feel really delighted and excited; it is very pleasant. However, when I invite a group of friends to my home, it is terrible.

One friend is the natural singular form. The original phrase my one friend is possible only when emphasizing one particular friend, but one friend is more appropriate here.

× Maybe yes may be no because I invite my one friend to my home. I'm really delighted excited it's very good however I invite a group of friends to my home. It's terrible.

✓ Maybe yes, maybe no. When I invite one friend to my home, I feel really delighted and excited; it is very pleasant. However, when I invite a group of friends to my home, it is terrible.

However introduces a contrast and should be separated from the preceding clause with appropriate punctuation. When is needed to introduce the situation being described.

× I think friends is not very important because I like Leave someone with me. I like to spend my time with me.

✓ I think friends are not very important to me because I like being alone. I like to spend time by myself.

Friends is plural, so it requires are, not is. The phrase to me is needed after important to show whose opinion is being expressed.

× I think friends is not very important because I like Leave someone with me. I like to spend my time with me.

✓ I think friends are not very important to me because I like being alone. I like to spend time by myself.

After like, use a gerund when describing an activity or preference: like being alone. The expression like leave is grammatically incorrect in this sentence.

× I think friends is not very important because I like Leave someone with me. I like to spend my time with me.

✓ I think friends are not very important to me because I like being alone. I like to spend time by myself.

By myself means alone and is the appropriate reflexive expression here. With me does not express the intended meaning.

× I sometimes go out with my friends because I starting and learning languages and I don't don't have and I have not time for my friends.

✓ I sometimes go out with my friends, but I am studying languages, so I do not have time for them.

For an activity happening around the present, use the present continuous: am studying. The original form I starting is missing the auxiliary verb am.

× I sometimes go out with my friends because I starting and learning languages and I don't don't have and I have not time for my friends.

✓ I sometimes go out with my friends, but I am studying languages, so I do not have time for them.

Them correctly refers back to the plural noun friends. The pronoun them avoids unnecessarily repeating the noun.

× I sometimes go out with my friends because I starting and learning languages and I don't don't have and I have not time for my friends.

✓ I sometimes go out with my friends, but I am studying languages, so I do not have time for them.

But shows the contrast between sometimes going out and not having enough time. So shows the result: studying languages means that the speaker has less time for friends.

× Usually we meet in school because we classmates we study, we talking about all

✓ Usually, we meet at school because we are classmates. We study together and talk about everything.

The clause we classmates has no verb. The linking verb are is required: we are classmates. The clause we talking also needs the auxiliary verb are if the present continuous is intended, or it can use the simple present talk for a general activity.

× Usually we meet in school because we classmates we study, we talking about all

✓ Usually, we meet at school because we are classmates. We study together and talk about everything.

At school is the usual expression for meeting at the school location. In school usually means being enrolled as a student, so it is less suitable for this specific location.

× Usually I and my friend are gossip girl really we usually do smoking and walking.

✓ Usually, my friend and I gossip. We usually smoke and walk together.

After do, the base form is normally used for ordinary activities: do not smoke, not do smoking. In this sentence, the simple present forms smoke and walk are the correct choices for habitual actions.

× Usually I and my friend are gossip girl really we usually do smoking and walking.

✓ Usually, my friend and I gossip. We usually smoke and walk together.

The coordinated subject my friend and I is plural. It takes plural verb forms, and the natural verb for the activity is gossip, not are gossip.

× Yeah, it's my best friend Alina we I know her I know her about two or three years. We're really best friends. I love her.

✓ Yes, my best friend is Alina. I have known her for about two or three years. We are really good friends, and I love her.

Use for with a period of time: for two or three years. The present perfect have known is used because the relationship began in the past and continues now.

× Yeah, it's my best friend Alina we I know her I know her about two or three years. We're really best friends. I love her.

✓ Yes, my best friend is Alina. I have known her for about two or three years. We are really good friends, and I love her.

The present perfect is formed with have or has plus the past participle. The past participle of know is known, so the correct form is have known.

× Yeah, it's my best friend Alina we I know her I know her about two or three years. We're really best friends. I love her.

✓ Yes, my best friend is Alina. I have known her for about two or three years. We are really good friends, and I love her.

The present perfect is needed because the speaker has known Alina since a point in the past and still knows her now. The simple present know does not correctly express this duration.
