**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 **“Do you like Starbucks? What do you usually order there?, スターバックスが好きですか。スタバで、普段、何を注文しますか”**
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: Put the question and your Japanese sentences in ChatGPT and get a correction.
7: if you like, post your original sentences and corrected 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. Sometimes, 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.
**“Do you like Starbucks? What do you usually order there?, スターバックスが好(す)きですか。スタバで、普段(ふだん)、何(なに)を注文(ちゅうもん)しますか。”**
④Example Answer in Japanese and English
This is a just example. If you are Beginner or Intermediate level learners, it is OK to write just simple and short sentences.
私はスタバが好きじゃありません。なぜならスタバのコーヒーの味が嫌いだからです。ローストし過ぎで美味しくないし、値段が高いからです。友達と集まるのに、他のカフェが見つからない場合のみ、スタバに行きますが、普段は他のカフェに行きます。
私(わたし)はスタバが好(す)きじゃありません。なぜならスタバのコーヒーの味(あじ)が嫌(きら)いだからです。ローストし過(す)ぎで美味(おい)しくないし、値段(ねだん)が高(たか)いからです。友達(ともだち)と集(あつ)まるのに、他(ほか)のカフェが見(み)つからない場合(ばあい)のみ、スタバに行(い)きますが、普段(ふだん)は他(ほか)のカフェに行(い)きます。
(Corrected by ChatGPT: I don’t particularly like Starbucks because I’m not a fan of the flavor of their coffee. It’s too roasted for my taste, and I find it a bit expensive. If I can’t find any other cafes to have a gathering my friends, I might go there, but I usually prefer other cafes.)
