Part 1
考官
Do you walk a lot?
考生
No, I don't walk a lot because my apartment is only about a 5 minutes walk from my office. Sometimes I go for a walk and evenings to get some exercise, but I usually don't need to work for commuting.
考官
Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?
考生
Yes, I often went outside when I was a child because we didn't have smartphones or as many video games. I spent my free time playing outside, riding bikes, climbing trees and exploring the neighborhood with my friends almost every afternoon.
考官
Why do people like to walk in parks?
考生
I believe people enjoy walking in parks because they can appreciate scenic views and feel close to nature. The present scent of flowers and fresh air helps them relax, and the short walk can also reduce stress and lift their mood.
考官
Where would you like to take a long walk if you had the chance?
考生
I'd like to take a long walk in historic European cities because I'm interested in European history and architecture. For example, I'd love to wander through London, Paris and Madrid to see the old streets, museums and historic buildings.
考官
Where did you go for a walk lately?
考生
I go for a walk in Stanley Park in Vancouver almost every weekend because it's scenic and peaceful. I usually walk along the sea wall and sometimes stop to watch the sunset.
Do you walk a lot?
分數: 78.0建議: 回答は明確で自然ですが、文法ミスと冗長な表現があります。例えば “a 5 minutes walk” は不自然で “a five‑minute walk” が正しいです。また、最後の文は意味が曖昧です(“don't need to work for commuting”)。より簡潔にし、リンク語を使って理由と頻度を整理してください。例を一つ追加すると印象が良くなります。
範例: No, I don't walk much because my apartment is only a five‑minute walk from my office. However, I sometimes go for a walk in the evenings to get some exercise. For example, I usually walk around the local park twice a week.
Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?
分數: 90.0建議: とても良い回答で具体例も豊富です。流れも自然ですが、リンク語を使って文をつなげるとさらに良くなります(例えば “so” や “therefore”)。また一文を短めにまとめ、5文以内に収めてください。
範例: Yes, I often went outside when I was a child because we didn't have smartphones or many video games, so we spent our free time playing outdoors. Almost every afternoon I rode bikes, climbed trees and explored the neighborhood with my friends.
Why do people like to walk in parks?
分數: 88.0建議: 内容は良くまとまっており語彙も適切です。ただし “The present scent” は不自然な表現で “the scent” または “the pleasant scent” が適切です。リンク語(for example, additionally)を使って理由を整理するとさらに明瞭になります。
範例: I think people enjoy walking in parks because they can appreciate scenic views and feel close to nature. The pleasant scent of flowers and the fresh air help them relax, and in addition, a short walk can reduce stress and improve mood.
Where would you like to take a long walk if you had the chance?
分數: 92.0建議: とても自然で具体性もあり、理由と例も示しています。改善点はほとんどありませんが、都市名の間に適切な句読点(commas)と簡単な結びの文を加えるとより洗練されます。
範例: I'd like to take a long walk in historic European cities because I'm interested in history and architecture. For example, I would love to wander through London, Paris, and Madrid to explore old streets, visit museums and admire historic buildings.
Where did you go for a walk lately?
分數: 86.0建議: 回答は具体的で良いですが、時制が混在しています(質問は過去形“did…lately”に対して現在形“I go”)。過去の最近の行為を述べるなら過去形を使い、またリンク語で頻度と理由をつなげると良いです。
範例: I went for a walk in Stanley Park in Vancouver last weekend because it's scenic and peaceful. I usually walk along the seawall and sometimes stop to watch the sunset.
× my apartment is only about a 5 minutes walk from my office.
✓ my apartment is only about a 5-minute walk from my office.
複数形の名詞と数量表現の使い方の誤り。英語では時間・距離を複合形容詞として名詞を修飾する場合、複合語を単数形でハイフンでつなぎます。(a 5-minute walk)改善方法: 数字+単位を形容詞として名詞を修飾する際はハイフンを用い単位を単数形にする。
× Sometimes I go for a walk and evenings to get some exercise, but I usually don't need to work for commuting.
✓ Sometimes I go for a walk in the evenings to get some exercise, but I usually don't need to commute to work.
語順と前置詞の誤用、及び不自然な動詞表現。'and evenings'は不自然で'in the evenings'が正しい。'need to work for commuting'は意味が通らないので'need to commute to work'が適切。改善方法: 時間表現は'in the evenings'、通勤に関する表現は'commute'を動詞として用いる。
× Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?
✓ Did you often go outside for a walk when you were a child?
前置詞の選択ミスと口語表現の微調整。'to have a walk'は不自然で通常は'for a walk'または'see'を使う。過去の質問であるため動詞形は適切だが前置詞を修正する。改善方法: 'go for a walk'または'go outside for a walk'を使用する。
× I spent my free time playing outside, riding bikes, climbing trees and exploring the neighborhood with my friends almost every afternoon.
✓ I spent my free time playing outside, riding bikes, climbing trees, and exploring the neighborhood with my friends almost every afternoon.
文法的には問題は小さいが列挙項目の間にコンマが抜けている(オックスフォードコンマは任意だがここで追加すると明確になる)。改善方法: 列挙を明確にするため項目間にコンマを入れる。
× The present scent of flowers and fresh air helps them relax, and the short walk can also reduce stress and lift their mood.
✓ The pleasant scent of flowers and the fresh air help them relax, and a short walk can also reduce stress and lift their mood.
'present scent'は不自然な表現。'scent'と'fresh air'は複数主語なので動詞は複数形(help)を使う。'the short walk'は一般的な場合'a short walk'が適切。改善方法: 自然な形容詞(pleasant)を使い、主語の数に応じた動詞形を選ぶ。
× I'd like to take a long walk in historic European cities because I'm interested in European history and architecture.
✓ I'd like to take a long walk in historic European cities because I'm interested in European history and architecture.
この文は文法的に正しいため修正不要。
× For example, I'd love to wander through London, Paris and Madrid to see the old streets, museums and historic buildings.
✓ For example, I'd love to wander through London, Paris, and Madrid to see the old streets, museums, and historic buildings.
文法自体は正しいが列挙の明確さのためオックスフォードコンマを追加することを推奨する。改善方法: 列挙の各項目をコンマで区切る。
× Where did you go for a walk lately?
✓ Where have you gone for a walk lately?
時制の不一致。'lately'は最近の経験を表す現在完了形とよく用いられるため、過去形'Did you go'より'Have you gone'が自然。改善方法: 最近の経験を尋ねるときは現在完了を使う。
× I go for a walk in Stanley Park in Vancouver almost every weekend because it's scenic and peaceful.
✓ I go for a walk in Stanley Park in Vancouver almost every weekend because it's scenic and peaceful.
文法的に正しいため修正不要。
× I usually walk along the sea wall and sometimes stop to watch the sunset.
✓ I usually walk along the seawall and sometimes stop to watch the sunset.
'sea wall'は'seawall'と綴ることが多いが両方可。文法的誤りはない。改善方法: 地名用語は一語で表記することを推奨する。
