Feedback and Observations

clear request for specific action or deadline.

EN 3. Both emails need clearer conclusions with specific requests and deadlines, following
the structure taught in the curriculum.

ENBoth emails demonstrate understanding of the basic consultation email format but could
benefit from more complete development of the problem-solution structure and clearer action
requests.

Analysis and Feedback
Strengths:
• Proper subject line formatting with consultation markers
• Appropriate formal language and greetings
• Clear statement of purpose
Areas needing improvement:
1. Email 1 lacks background explanation and specific consultation content
2. Email 2 has good structure but the subject line doesn't match the content (mentions
meeting schedule but discusses specification changes)
3. Emails 3 & 4 are incomplete templates
Missing elements in most emails:
• Complete background/context explanation
• Writer's own analysis or proposed solutions
• Specific questions or decisions needed
• Clear deadlines for responses
The templates show understanding of basic email structure but need development of the
consultation content following the curriculum's guidance on providing complete context,
personal analysis, and specific requests.
I'll translate these business communication examples sentence by sentence and provide
feedback on the grammar and usage notes:

have 600,000 followers.

ENKey Grammar Points and Corrections:
1. とのことです vs ということです: Use とのことです for information heard from
others; ということです for summarizing content.
2. Formal reporting language: Use です/ます endings for clear, definitive statements
about your own work situations.
3. Graph descriptions: Use "グラフを見ると～ことがわかります" when showing
graphs.
4. Cause and effect: Always pair "原因は" with "ためです" to clearly indicate
causation.
5. Respectful language: Be careful about when to use honorific forms - don't use them
for your own company's staff when speaking to external parties.
These examples demonstrate various business communication scenarios with practical
grammar corrections that improve clarity and appropriateness in professional Japanese
contexts.
