①Instruction for Writing Practice
こんにちは。Motoです。For writing practice, I am
introducing the following method. You can apply my method to your Japanese Writing
Practice.
1:
I pick up one question from “Discussion/Further Discussion” on the DMM英会話Daily News.
This time, the question I chose is “What are
your favorite cafes or coffee shops?”
2:
I try to write answer sentences to “The Question” in English.
3:
I will ask ChatGPT to correct my answer and compare the original one and
corrected one.
4:
For someone learning Japanese, I will leave my answer and its Japanese
translation as example. (I will translate my answer loosely in Japanese, not
literally.)
5:
Now, your turn. try to write your answer in Japanese to “The Question”. You can
refer to my translated answer in Japanese as example.
6:
if you like, post your sentences. I will check your sentences and leave comments.
②Notes
1:
Many mistakes are necessary for improvement. It is OK to write just simple and
short sentences.
2:
Try to think about appropriate sentence structure and logical flow (this part
is the most important).
3,
In a comment section (Blog, Twitter, Reddit etc.), post your answer in Japanese
in“48 hours”
from posting this thread. I cannot respond to all (especially,
off topic) because I have limitation of time, but I try to check your writing.
4:
If you add explanation and English translation, it will be helpful to
understand and check your sentences more accurately.
③The Question
Here is the question.
“What
are your favorite cafes or coffee shops?”
④Example Answer (English , Japanese, with Hiragana)
This
is a just example. If you are Beginner or Intermediate level learners, it is OK
to write just simple and short sentences.
(English)
(Japanese with Hiragana)
ホットドリンクを飲(の)むために、よく訪（おとず）れる大好（だいす）きな場所（ばしょ）は、モスバーガーです。その理由（りゆう）として、モスバーガーのコーヒーは高（たか）くないし、食事（しょくじ）のメニューの質（しつ）がいいことがあげられます。
私（わたし）は普段（ふだん）、チリドックか、オニオンフライをコーヒーか紅茶（こうちゃ）とともに注文（ちゅうもん）します。
年（ねん）に４-５回（かい）、モスは季節限定（きせつげんてい）の商品（しょうひん）を売（う）ることがあります。今年（ことし）の夏（なつ）は、甘夏（あまなつ）のジンジャーエールや、混（ま）ぜるシェイクでした。季節限定商品を買（か）いに行（い）くということも、モスに行く理由（りゆう）の一つです。
