Practical examples
Below are examples of question text paired with specific custom prompts.
1. Supplemental problem text
[Question]
Read the following passage and summarize the author's main message in about 100 words.
Refer to "What is a Summary?" on page 32 of your textbook for guidance.
"Our local community experiences various natural changes each season. Flowers bloom in spring, and leaves change color in autumn. We should cherish the mindset that notices and enjoys these transitions."
[Custom prompt]
The textbook on page 32 defines a summary as follows:
"A summary extracts the core argument or central theme of a text while removing auxiliary details like specific examples. It is vital to identify the author's primary intent."
Based on this definition, please generate feedback that helps the learner distinguish between:
- The main argument (the importance of noticing natural changes)
- Supporting details (observations of seasonal shifts)
2. Key answer points
[Question]
Solve the following linear equation, showing all calculation steps.
3x - 7 = 11
[Custom prompt]
The expected steps are:
- Add 7 to both sides
- Derive 3x = 18
- Divide both sides by 3 to reach x = 6
Identify how many steps the learner completed and provide feedback that clearly explains any missing calculations.
3. Common pitfalls
[Question]
Translate the following Japanese into English.
私は先週叔母の家に行きました。
[Custom prompt]
Common learner mistakes include:
- Mistranslating "叔母" as "祖母"
- Confusing "先週" with "週末."
Please create feedback that highlights word meanings and context to help learners recognize these specific errors.
4. Criteria interpretation
[Question]
Based on the text below, summarize "why people incorporate exercise into their daily lives" in 150 words or less.
"Maintaining an exercise habit improves physical strength and provides a mental reset. Consequently, many people now consciously exercise daily for health maintenance and stress relief."
[Custom prompt]
Please generate learner-friendly feedback based on the following two criteria.
1. Content accuracy:
- This determines if the learner correctly identified the reasons for exercising.
- Ensure you explicitly mention both "physical strength" and "mental reset."
- If a reason is missing, point it out specifically to the learner.
2. Clarity:
- This determines if the summary is easy to read within the 150-words limit.
- If the phrasing is wordy or disjointed, advise the learner on how to make it more concise.
- Encourage them to focus on sentence structure, such as listing reasons sequentially.
In your feedback, clearly and briefly state:
- Which criteria were met.
- Which areas need improvement.
to be short and clearly indicated.
