Original Text: Many people love music, but do not know anything about speakers. Do you know that many speakers have holes? They are usually round, but sometimes not round. They are big fluto and make big bass sound. These speakers, by the way, are called ported speakers, because holes are ports. Because of ports, these speakers make big sound although they are not really big in size. People like big bass and company sell these speaker for this reason. But some people like sealed box speakers that doesn't have holes. They know holes are bad for sound. You should know more about speaker. So I'll explain why ported speaker are bad in this essay.


Problems: The text has several issues pertaining to academic writing standards. First, the language used is informal and lacks specific and strong words. Phrases like "big fluto" and "big bass" are not specific and sound informal. Secondly, there are grammatical and punctuation errors. For instance, "company sell these speaker" should be "companies sell these speakers". Additionally, the verb agreement is incorrect in "speakers that doesn't have holes". The text also lacks clarity in some parts, such as "They are big fluto". Finally, the argument is not entirely logical and coherent. The text begins by stating that many people do not know about speakers, but then abruptly concludes that some people prefer sealed box speakers because they know holes are bad for sound.


Revision: Music is a universal passion, yet the technicalities of sound equipment, such as speakers, often remain an enigma to many. Have you ever noticed the circular openings in numerous speaker models? These, occasionally varying in shape, are technically known as ports, integral to what are referred to as ported speakers. The purpose of these ports is to enhance the bass output, thereby creating a more pronounced sound, even though the physical dimensions of the speakers themselves might be relatively compact. This amplified bass effect has commercial appeal, leading manufacturers to market these types of speakers extensively. However, a contrasting preference exists for sealed box speakers, which, in their absence of ports, offer a different sound quality. Some audiophiles argue that the lack of ports can provide a more controlled sound output. This essay will further delve into the argument against ported speakers, shedding light on their perceived disadvantages.



中級レベルの英語を入力した場合の出力 (GPT-4)


Original Text: Many music lovers do not care whether their loudspeakers have holes in the boxes. These openings, often circular and occasionally rectangular, are called bass-reflex ports. They function like a flute by emitting bass sounds. Loudspeakers with such ports, commonly known as ported speakers, produce massive bass sounds relative to their sizes. Consequently, most commercial loudspeaker manufacturers offer ported speakers as their voluminous bass sounds attract most consumers. However, some discerning music enthusiasts prefer sealed box speakers that lack ports. They recognize that ports often distort sound frequencies. Music lovers should educate themselves about the mechanics of loudspeakers. This essay explains how the unequal low-frequency resonance through bass-reflex ports is responsible for inaccurate music reproduction.


Problems:

1. Informality: The term "holes in the boxes" is informal and vague. It would be more precise to say "openings in the speaker enclosures".

2. Repetition: The term "bass sounds" is repeated too often. It can be replaced with synonymous terms like "bass tones" or "bass output" to avoid repetition.

3. Passive voice: The phrase "are called" and "are responsible for" is in passive voice, which is not always clear or direct.

4. Word choice: The term "massive" is informal. A more formal and precise term such as "significant" or "pronounced" would be more appropriate.

5. Lack of specificity: The phrase "music lovers" is too broad and lacks specificity. It would be clearer to refer to "audiophiles" or "sound enthusiasts".

6. Lack of coherence: The final sentence introduces a new concept (unequal low-frequency resonance) without proper transition, making the paragraph less coherent.


Revision: A substantial number of sound enthusiasts seem indifferent to the presence of openings in their loudspeaker enclosures. These apertures, typically circular but occasionally rectangular, are known as bass-reflex ports. They operate analogously to a flute, emitting bass tones. Loudspeakers equipped with these ports, frequently referred to as ported speakers, generate pronounced bass output relative to their physical dimensions. As a result, a majority of commercial loudspeaker manufacturers market ported speakers, leveraging their powerful bass output to appeal to the consumer base. Nevertheless, some discerning audio aficionados show a preference for sealed box speakers, which do not feature ports. These individuals understand that ports can often result in frequency distortion. Audiophiles, therefore, would benefit from a deeper understanding of loudspeaker mechanics. The focus of this essay is to elucidate how the uneven low-frequency resonance, occurring through bass-reflex ports, can lead to an inaccurate reproduction of music.





■ 実例2:GPT-3.5を使って米国大学生英語のレベルで指導

Problems:

1. Lack of formal language: The language used in the text is informal and lacks the formality required for academic writing.

2. Vague and imprecise language: The text uses imprecise and unclear language to describe speakers and their features.

3. Grammatical errors: There are several grammar errors in the text, including incorrect verb forms and inconsistent sentence structures.

4. Inconsistent use of punctuation: The text lacks consistent and appropriate use of punctuation marks.

5. Sentence structure issues: The text contains sentences that are too short and choppy, while others are too long and lack clarity.

6. Lack of clarity and conciseness: The expressions used in the text are not clear and concise, leading to confusion and wordiness.

7. Lack of logical coherence: The arguments presented in the text are not logically organized and lack coherence.


Revision:

Many individuals have a deep appreciation for music, yet their understanding of speakers remains limited. Are you aware that speakers often incorporate ports, which are essentially holes? These ports can be either round or non-round in shape. They serve the purpose of enhancing the bass sound, resulting in a fuller auditory experience. Such speakers are commonly referred to as "ported speakers" due to the presence of these ports. Despite their relatively compact size, ported speakers are capable of producing a powerful sound, particularly favored by individuals who enjoy strong bass. However, there are those who prefer sealed box speakers that lack these ports, as they recognize the potential negative impact of holes on sound quality. It is crucial to develop a deeper understanding of speakers. In this essay, I will delve into the reasons why ported speakers are considered unfavorable.


Note: The revised text maintains the same meaning as the original text while addressing the identified problems.

Revision:

Many music enthusiasts disregard the presence of openings in their loudspeakers' enclosures. These apertures, commonly referred to as bass-reflex ports, come in various shapes, such as circular or rectangular. Similar to a flute, they serve the purpose of emitting bass sounds. Loudspeakers equipped with such ports, known as ported speakers, deliver substantial bass output relative to their compact sizes. Consequently, a majority of commercial loudspeaker manufacturers provide ported speakers to cater to the preference for powerful bass among consumers. However, certain discerning music enthusiasts favor sealed box speakers that lack these ports. They recognize the tendency of ports to distort sound frequencies. Therefore, it is crucial for music lovers to familiarize themselves with the mechanics of loudspeakers. This essay elucidates the role of unequal low-frequency resonance through bass-reflex ports in contributing to the inaccurate reproduction of music.

Original Text: Many people love music, but do not know anything about speakers. Do you know that many speakers have holes? They are usually round, but sometimes not round. They are big fluto and make big bass sound. These speakers, by the way, are called ported speakers, because holes are ports. Because of ports, these speakers make big sound although they are not really big in size. People like big bass and company sell these speaker for this reason. But some people like sealed box speakers that doesn't have holes. They know holes are bad for sound. You should know more about speaker. So I'll explain why ported speaker are bad in this essay.

 

Problems:

1. Informal Language: The text uses phrases like "do you know" and "by the way," which are more suitable for conversational English rather than academic writing.

2. Vague and Weak Words: Words like "many", "big", "sometimes", and "some" are not specific or strong enough for academic writing. The term "big fluto" is unclear.

3. Grammar and Spelling Errors: There are several grammatical errors in the text, such as "company sell these speaker" and "speakers that doesn't have holes". Also, "speaker" is repeatedly used incorrectly in singular form when it should be plural, and "ported speaker" lacks an article before it.

4. Sentence Length: Some sentences are too short, making the text choppy, like "They are big fluto and make big bass sound."

5. Unclear Expressions: The text doesn't clearly explain certain concepts. For example, it doesn't explain why ports can be "bad" for sound, or what it means that ports can create a "big" sound.

6. Illogical Argument: The text makes an assertion that ported speakers are "bad" without giving any supporting evidence or explanation for this claim.


Revision: A significant number of music enthusiasts lack a deep understanding of speaker technology. For instance, speakers, specifically known as ported speakers, are often manufactured with ports—openings which could be circular or non-circular in design. These ports, typically sizable, enhance the bass output of the speakers. Despite the relatively compact size of these speakers, they produce a pronounced sound, predominantly due to these ports. The appeal of heightened bass prompts manufacturers to commercialize these ported speakers extensively. In contrast, a segment of consumers prefer speakers without ports, commonly referred to as sealed box speakers, grounded in their belief that ports compromise the audio quality. Expanding one's knowledge of speakers is beneficial, and this essay will delve into the reasons why ported speakers can potentially be disadvantageous.

5. There is a lack of coherence in the argument. The text transitions abruptly between topics, making the argument hard to follow.

6. Lastly, the text contains spelling and punctuation errors, including missing plural forms and incorrect verb tenses.


Revision:

Numerous individuals have a passion for music, yet lack a thorough understanding of the intricacies of speakers. It may surprise some to learn that a number of speaker designs incorporate ports, typically circular in shape, but occasionally differing in form. These openings, often substantial in size, are key to producing deep, resonant bass tones. Known as ported speakers, the inclusion of these ports allows for a magnified audio output despite the relatively compact size of the speaker itself. This characteristic of generating powerful bass is highly coveted by consumers, thus leading manufacturers to market these speakers prominently. On the other hand, a faction of audio enthusiasts prefer sealed box speakers, devoid of ports, under the conviction that the latter negatively impacts the sound quality. For the uninitiated, it is crucial to delve deeper into speaker design, particularly to understand the potential drawbacks of ported speakers, which will be elaborated in this essay.
