T-shirt— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Clarify the opening sentence and keep answers concise. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question (e.g., “I wear T-shirts almost every day.”), then give 1–2 specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid unclear phrasing like “How are you put on” and unnecessary extra clauses. Focus on natural expressions and correct word order.

예시: I wear T-shirts almost every day. For example, I usually sleep in a T-shirt and I also wear one when I exercise at the gym because they are comfortable and easy to wash.

제안: Good direct answer and relevant reasons. To improve, add a linking word to make the flow smoother and include a brief specific example (where or when you bought one) to make it more vivid. Keep to at most 3–4 sentences.

예시: Yes, I often buy T-shirts. For instance, I bought a city-themed T-shirt on my last trip to Kyoto because it was practical and reminds me of the visit.

제안: The answer is unclear and off-scale: the examiner asked for 1–10, so give a number in that range and explain with clear reasons. Use correct grammar and coherent linking (e.g., “I’d give it a 4 out of 10, because…”). Avoid irrelevant or broken sentences and provide one or two specific observations about older people’s clothing choices.

예시: I’d give it a 4 out of 10, because many older people in Japan prefer more formal or traditional clothing rather than casual T-shirts, especially for public events. However, they might wear T-shirts at home or for gardening.

제안: The answer is confused and contains irrelevant fragments and names. Provide a simple direct past-tense response and one clear supporting detail (when or why). Avoid asking rhetorical or unrelated questions. Keep it to 1–2 sentences maximum.

예시: Definitely. When I was a child I often wore T-shirts in summer because they were cool and comfortable during school holidays.

× How are you put on T-shirts most days?

✓ How often do you put on T-shirts most days?

The original sentence uses incorrect word order and auxiliary verbs. 'How are you put on' is ungrammatical because 'put on' is an active verb and requires a subject performing the action. The intended question asks frequency so use 'How often' plus the simple present question form 'do you put on'. Suggestion: use 'How often' for frequency questions and form the question with 'do' + subject + base verb.

× I often sleep in a T-shirt at night and I wear one whenever I exercise at the gym because they are comfortable and portable.

✓ I often sleep in a T-shirt at night, and I wear one whenever I exercise at the gym because they are comfortable and practical.

Tense usage is largely correct (simple present for habitual actions) but the adjective 'portable' is inappropriate for clothing; 'practical' fits meaning better. Also a comma improves readability before 'and'. Suggestion: keep simple present for habits and choose appropriate adjectives for clothing.

× Yes, I often buy T-shirts.

✓ Yes, I often buy T-shirts.

This sentence is correct; it uses the simple present to describe a habitual action. No grammatical change needed.

× I usually buy them as souvenirs when I travel because they are practical and remind me of the places I visited.

✓ I usually buy them as souvenirs when I travel because they are practical and remind me of the places I visit.

The clause 'when I travel' speaks about habitual or general travel, so the relative clause should match with present tense 'I visit' rather than past 'I visited'. Use simple present for general facts or repeated actions. Suggestion: keep tense consistent for habitual actions.

× On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say 30.

✓ On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say 3.

The original answer gives an impossible value (30) for a 1-to-10 scale; this is a logical/quantifier error rather than grammar. Correct by converting intention to a valid number within the scale. Suggestion: check numeric scales before answering.

× This is because in Japan they're not so essential that.

✓ This is because in Japan they are not that essential.

Word order and placement of 'that' are incorrect. The adjective 'essential' requires the construction 'not that essential' or 'not so essential' followed directly by the adjective. Also avoid contraction 'they're' in formal answers if desired; both are acceptable. Suggestion: place degree modifiers before the adjective and remove redundant words.

× Whoever put on the T-shirt.

✓ Anyone can wear a T-shirt.

The fragment 'Whoever put on the T-shirt.' is incomplete and unclear. It appears to attempt to express that T-shirts are worn by anyone; the corrected sentence is a full clause conveying this idea. Suggestion: use complete sentences and clear subjects for general statements.

× Oh, I don't know that, Lisa, is that in Japan that has four students and especially in autumn and summer, which is easier and comfortable to wear the T-shirt?

✓ Oh, I don't know, Lisa. In Japan many students wore T-shirts, especially in autumn and summer, because they are easy and comfortable to wear.

The original is a confusing mixture of tenses and fragments. For past habits 'wore' is appropriate if asking about childhood (past). However, if speaking generally about seasons and comfort, simple present 'are' and 'are easy' is better. Also word order 'easy and comfortable to wear' is correct. The corrected version separates clauses into clear sentences and matches tense to meaning. Suggestion: decide whether you mean past habit (use past tense) or general truth (use present), and structure sentences with clear subjects and verbs.
