添削前の文

I agree with the idea that big companies have a positive effect on society because there are clear advantages in terms of products and work-life balance.


First, people have a better live by buying products made by big corporations. Large companies have a lot of workers, so these companies can have a variety of ideas and skills to create something useful. As a result, the high quality of products that big companies make allows us to live a more comfortable life.


Second, large corporations are more likely to keep their workers’ work-life balance. Big companies make rules that prevent their employees from working overtime in order to let them spend more time relaxing at home because large corporations are responsible for protecting many workers’ lives.


In conclusion, from the viewpoint of products and work-life balance, big companies are most certainly beneficial for society.

くりなの感想(ただの感想です)

すでに合格点を超えているエッセイだと思います。本番なら13~15点ぐらいでしょうか?直すところがほとんどありませんので、文法事項の指摘程度にとどまっています。
