第１回６月名大本番レベル模試大問Ⅳの英作文を見てみましょう。この答案でB君は満点をもらっています。こんな具合です。
・・Larger cities’ residents use train or bus almost every day than smaller cities’ residents, and younger people also do almost every day than older people. I think most of the people who live in large city or younger people more at a offices built in a large city.
・・Most of the people who lived in towns or villages use not train or bus but automobile. I think there is few station or bus stop and many people want to go away there they don’t willi8ng to go by other transportation means.
最近では冠詞や単複のミスを減点しない大学が増えています。だから減点されないかも知れませんが、名大はそうはいかないと思います。
・・Larger cities’ residents use the train or bus almost every day than smaller cities’ residents, and younger people also do almost every day than older people. I think most of the people who live in a large city or younger people more at a offices built in a large city.
・・Most of the people who lived in towns or villages use not the train or bus but an automobile. I think there is few stations or bus stops and many people want to go away there they don’t willi8ng to go by other transportation means.
でも、次の文法上のミスは減点しないといけません！こんな具合です。
・・Larger cities’ residents use the train or bus almost every day more than smaller cities’ residents, and younger people also do almost every day more than older people. I think most of the people who live in a large city or younger people more at a offices built in a large city.
・・Most of the people who lived in towns or villages use not the train or bus but an automobile. I think there is few stations or bus stops and many people want to go away there they don’t willing to go by other transportation means.
⊿比較の文ですから、「電車やバスをもっと利用する」のmoreが必要です。この英文はlagerとsmallerが対比されているのではなく、A use more than Bの対比であることを採点官は見落としています。採点官は中学で習った比較を復習する必要がありますね。後ろのmoreも同じです。
⊿Most of the people use not the train or bus but an automobile.も採点ミスです。they use の否定文はthey don’t use ですからこうしないといけません。
Most of the people don’t use the train or bus but an automobile.
⊿there is few stations or bus stopsは倒置文で主語はfew stations or bus stopsの複数形ですからthere areにしてやります。ま、最近ネットで使われている英語のbe全部isになってますがね。だからといって、選抜試験の英語は正しく書くべきでしょう。
⊿don’t willing toはare not willing toにしないといけません。
薮下が名大の採点官だったら以上の４箇所を減点します。決して満点はつけません！この精度の採点で受験生の作文能力を正しく評価できるとは思えません。自分の英語力をちゃんと評価して欲しいなら、別の予備校の名大模試を受験すべきでしょう。
