Friends— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly in the present and past tenses. Avoid repeating ideas and finish your sentence clearly. Use a linking phrase such as “whereas” to make the comparison logical, and add one specific reason why you meet friends less often now.

例: Yes, there is quite a big difference. When I was a child, I usually met my friends at school or after classes. Nowadays, we tend to meet in cafés or shopping centres, although it happens less often because everyone is busy with work or university.

提案: Organize the answer around two clear situations, but use more natural expressions than “there are two distinct answers.” Explain that suitability depends on the people, atmosphere, noise level, and purpose of the meeting. Avoid the unfinished phrase at the end.

例: Some places are suitable because they match the purpose of the meeting. For example, I might choose a rooftop café or a club when I am meeting close friends, because we can relax and enjoy a lively atmosphere. However, a quiet traditional restaurant is more appropriate for a family meal because it is comfortable for conversation.

提案: State your preference clearly and support it with one or two natural reasons. The stone comparison is difficult to understand and sounds unnatural, so replace it with a simple explanation about deeper conversations or fewer disagreements. Make sure the final sentence is complete.

例: I prefer spending time with one close friend rather than with a large group. It is easier to have a meaningful conversation, and we can usually agree on what to do. Large groups can sometimes be noisy or difficult to organize, so I feel more comfortable with one trusted friend.

提案: Use “often” instead of “oftenly” and say “invite my friends over” or “invite my friends to my home.” Your answer is direct and includes a reason and an example, but describe your preference more positively instead of calling yourself lazy.

例: Yes, I often invite my friends over because home is a comfortable place to spend time together. We usually play board games or video games, order some food, and chat in a relaxed atmosphere. It is also convenient when the weather is bad.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence and then explain both the emotional and practical value of friendship. Avoid repeating “because” and correct “the only person” to “the people” or “some of the people.” Include a specific example of how friends support you.

例: Friends are extremely important to me because they provide emotional support and companionship. I can share my problems with them, and they often give me useful advice when I am under pressure. We also make time to relax together, which helps me maintain a positive attitude.

提案: Avoid repeating “it makes” and “I usually.” Use the natural phrase “when I am stressed” rather than “when I am in very stress.” Explain where you go or what you do so the answer has a specific supporting detail.

例: Yes, I often go out with my friends because it helps me relax and feel happier. When I am stressed, we usually go to a café or take a walk in the park. Talking to them helps me forget my worries for a while.

提案: Use plural and more natural expressions, such as “at the market” and “at my educational institution.” Answer the location question first, then add a clear detail about when you meet. The phrase “with me up from my childhood” should be changed to “whom I have known since childhood.”

例: I often meet my friends at the local market or at the college where I study. We sometimes have tea nearby after class, especially in the evening. Some of these friends are people I have known since childhood.

提案: List two or three activities in a logical order instead of repeating “playing games.” Use correct forms such as “spend time playing” and “go on trips.” Include a specific example to make the answer more natural and effective.

例: We usually meet at the market, have something to eat, and chat for a while. At home, we often play board games or online games, and occasionally we play outdoor sports. When we have more free time, we go on short trips together.

提案: Answer with one clear example rather than saying “many friends.” Use the present perfect correctly, for example, “I have known him since childhood.” Explain how you maintain the friendship and where you meet now. Avoid the unclear expressions “from the starting” and “being linked.”

例: Definitely. I have a close friend called Ahmed whom I have known since childhood. We went to the same school, and we have stayed in touch even though we are now busy with our studies. We often meet in a nearby park in the evening and talk about our lives.

× In the past time when I was a child I usually meet my friends in school and institutions.

✓ When I was a child, I usually met my friends at school and in educational institutions.

The phrase refers to a repeated action in the past, so meet must be changed to the past-tense form met. Use at school and in educational institutions for more accurate prepositions.

× When I go to classes.

✓ When I went to classes.

Because the speaker is describing childhood habits, go should be changed to the past-tense form went.

× In now present time I usually meet them in markets.

✓ Nowadays, I usually meet them in markets.

In now present time is not a natural prepositional phrase. Use the adverb nowadays to refer to the present period.

× It is very rare that I made them.

✓ It is very rare that I meet them.

The sentence describes a present situation, so made is not the appropriate tense or verb. Use the present-tense verb meet.

× The there are two distinct answers for this.

✓ There are two distinct answers to this question.

The is unnecessary before the there-be construction. The correct structure is There are followed by a plural noun.

× If we have to meet our friends and our friends those were close to us.

✓ If we want to meet friends who are close to us.

Those were cannot correctly introduce this relative clause. Use who for people, followed by the present-tense verb are.

× But if we have to go with family we have to go to the traditional restaurants those who are having not any nightlife or something that type of.

✓ However, if we go with our family, we should choose traditional restaurants that do not have nightlife or similar entertainment.

The original sentence contains an incomplete and incorrectly connected clause. Use a complete conditional clause and a relative clause beginning with that.

× I usually spend my most of our time with the one friend only.

✓ I usually spend most of my time with one friend.

The possessive pronouns my and our are incorrectly combined. Use most of my time, and omit the unnecessary article before one friend.

× We should collect the one stone which is of which is precious for us.

✓ We should choose one precious stone that is valuable to us.

The original sentence repeats the relative clause and uses an incorrect structure. The corrected version uses one precious stone as the object and a single relative clause.

× Yes Oftenly I invite many of my friends to home.

✓ Yes, I often invite many of my friends to my home.

Oftenly is not the standard adverb; use often. The phrase to home needs a possessive determiner, so use to my home.

× They come to my home and we enjoy a lot by playing indoor games.

✓ They come to my home, and we have a lot of fun playing indoor games.

The preposition by is unnecessary before playing in this context. The natural structure is have fun playing something.

× Friends are very important to me because they are very the only person with whom I can enjoy and spend most of the time.

✓ Friends are very important to me because they are the only people with whom I can enjoy myself and spend most of my time.

Friends is plural, so person must be changed to people. The phrase the only person is also inconsistent with the plural subject.

× They are the only people with whom I can enjoy.

✓ They are the only people with whom I can enjoy myself.

The verb enjoy normally requires a reflexive pronoun when the subject and object refer to the same person. Use enjoy myself.

× They are always helping when we are in need.

✓ They always help when we are in need.

The subject they is correct, but the continuous form is unnecessary for a general repeated fact. Use the simple present help.

× When I am in very stress.

✓ When I am very stressed.

Stress is normally a noun, but this sentence needs an adjective to describe the speaker's condition. Use stressed after am.

× There is lot of stress over.

✓ There is a lot of stress.

The singular countable expression lot requires the article a. The word over is unnecessary in this sentence.

× I usually go out with my friends to enjoy and making my mind relax.

✓ I usually go out with my friends to have fun and relax my mind.

The verbs after to should be parallel in the base form. Making cannot follow to, so use relax instead of making my mind relax.

× I often meet my friends in market.

✓ I often meet my friends in the market.

A specific public place requires the definite article the. Therefore, use in the market.

× Many of my friends are with me up from my childhood to now.

✓ Many of my friends have been with me since my childhood until now.

Use since to identify the starting point of a period and until now to identify its endpoint. The expression up from is incorrect here.

× I usually go to market and spend most of the time in playing indoor games and sometimes outdoor games.

✓ I usually go to the market and spend most of my time playing indoor games and sometimes outdoor games.

The phrase spend time is followed directly by a gerund, without in. Also, the specific place market needs the article the.

× Many other doing activities like playing playing games, online games.

✓ I do many other activities, such as playing online games.

The original phrase is incomplete, and playing is repeated. After the verb do, use the noun activities, followed by such as and a correctly formed activity.

× I have many of the friends those who are from the starting of my childhood.

✓ I have many friends who have been with me since the beginning of my childhood.

Those who is incorrect after friends in this sentence; use who. Since is needed for a starting point, and the phrase the beginning is grammatically complete.

× They are to being linked with me up to now.

✓ They have been connected with me up to now.

The original verb phrase has an incorrect form. To describe a relationship continuing from the past to the present, use have been connected.

× Many of our friends we often meet in the evening in the parks and gardens.

✓ We often meet many of our friends in parks and gardens in the evening.

The original sentence has two subjects and an incorrect word order. Begin with the subject we, followed by the verb meet and its object.
