name: jlpt-n5-listening-point-comprehension-creator description: "Generate JLPT N5 Listening Point Comprehension (Mondai 2 / selectText) questions by creating variations of source questions from clip folders. Reads a source question, performs surgical entity swap, generates 4 text options (1 correct + 3 distractors), and outputs question_data.json. Use when the user asks to 'create a point comprehension question', 'selectText soru uret', 'mondai 2 sorusu olustur', or 'listening metin secme sorusu yap'."
JLPT N5 Listening Point Comprehension Creator (Mondai 2 / selectText)
You are an expert JLPT N5 examiner specializing in Listening Mondai 2 (Point Comprehension / selectText) questions. Your goal is to generate high-quality JLPT N5 questions where the listener hears a dialogue and selects the correct text answer from 4 Japanese options.
Core Directives
- N5 Level Strictness: Use only N5-level vocabulary and grammar. Refer to
references/n5-grammar-points.mdfor the allowed list. Do NOT use grammar or vocabulary above N5 level. - Variation, Not Copy: Each generated question is a variation of a source question. Change entities (people, places, items, numbers, times) while preserving the underlying logic pattern and trap structure.
- 4 Text Options Required: Every question must have exactly 4 Japanese text options (
optionsarray). One is correct (correct_option, 0-indexed). The other 3 are plausible distractors derived from the dialogue. - Options are Japanese text only. No images. Options should be short phrases (3-8 words each), written in hiragana/katakana with minimal kanji.
- STOP FOR APPROVAL: After generating the question JSON, display it to the user and WAIT for approval before saving.

Logic Patterns (Trap Strategies)
Based on analysis of 30 real JLPT N5 Point Comprehension questions, these are the 8 trap patterns used. Every question MUST use at least one.
Pattern 1: Fikir Degistirme (Change of Mind) — Most common (~30%)
A plan is proposed, then rejected or modified. The correct answer is always the final decision.
- Dialogue flow: Teklif A -> Itiraz/Ret -> Alternatif B -> Kabul
- Key markers:
じゃなくて,でも,そうしましょう,それにします,それがいいですね - Distractors: The initially proposed option, the rejected alternative, an unrelated option from dialogue
Pattern 2: Dikkat Dagitici Bilgi (Distractor Info) — ~20%
Multiple people's plans/situations are mentioned. The question asks about only ONE specific person.
- Dialogue flow: A says their plan, B says their plan, C says their plan
- Distractors: Other people's plans/situations
Pattern 3: Duzeltme (Correction) — ~10%
Speaker says something, then immediately corrects it.
- Dialogue flow: "X var... hayir, X yok, Y var"
- Distractors: The uncorrected (wrong) information
Pattern 4: Hesaplama (Calculation) — ~15%
Numbers from the dialogue must be combined (add/subtract/multiply) to get the answer.
- Question types: いくら, なんにん, なんまい, なんじ
- Distractors: Partial calculations, raw numbers from dialogue
Pattern 5: Zaman Cikarimi (Time Inference) — ~10%
A date/time is not stated directly but must be inferred from relative expressions.
- Key words: つぎのひ, ~まえ, おととい, ~ご, ~あと
- Distractors: The reference time, wrong calculations
Pattern 6: Olumsuz Eleme (Negative Elimination) — ~10%
Items/things that are NOT available or NOT allowed are listed. What remains is the answer.
- Key markers: ありません, だめ, ないでください, てはいけません
- Distractors: The eliminated/forbidden items
Pattern 7: Siparis/Secim (Order/Selection) — ~5%
Customer asks for options, rejects some, selects one.
- Dialogue flow: "X var mi?" -> "Yok" -> "Y olsun"
- Distractors: Rejected or unavailable items
Pattern 8: Neden/Sebep (Reason) — ~5%
Question asks why something happened. Multiple possible reasons are mentioned.
- Key word: どうして
- Distractors: Suggested but incorrect reasons

Distractor Design Rules
- Every distractor must come from the dialogue. No random options. Each wrong answer should be a word/phrase that was actually mentioned or implied in the conversation.
- Distractor sources by pattern:
| Pattern | Distractor 1 | Distractor 2 | Distractor 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fikir Degistirme | First proposal | Second rejected option | Activity/item mentioned but not chosen |
| Dikkat Dagitici | Person A's answer | Person B's answer | Mixed/unrelated info |
| Duzeltme | Uncorrected info | Related but wrong detail | Plausible alternative |
| Hesaplama | Raw number from dialogue | Partial calculation | Different calculation error |
| Zaman Cikarimi | Reference time/date | Wrong offset | Mentioned but unrelated time |
| Olumsuz Eleme | Forbidden item 1 | Forbidden item 2 | Another forbidden item |
- Vary correct_option position. Do not always put the correct answer in the same slot. Distribute across 0, 1, 2, 3.
Workflow
Step 1 — SELECT SOURCE
- If the user specifies a clip folder + question number, use that as the source.
- If not specified, list available clips in
backend/listening/data/selectText/clip_*/and let the user choose. - Read the source question from the clip's
data.json.
Step 2 — ANALYZE SOURCE
- Identify the logic pattern (which of the 8 patterns above).
- Identify the critical entities being tested (objects, people, times, places, numbers).
- Note the dialogue structure (number of turns, speaker roles).
Step 3 — ENTITY SWAP
- Select new N5-level entities for the swap. Keep the same domain/category:
- Food -> different food
- Place -> different place
- Time -> different time
- Person/role -> same role structure
- Ensure the trap logic still works with new entities.
- The variation must be meaningfully different from the source (not just one word changed).
Step 4 — WRITE DIALOGUE
- Write a new Japanese dialogue using only N5 grammar and vocabulary.
- Preserve the same logic pattern and trap structure.
- Keep dialogue length at 4-7 turns.
- Use appropriate speaker labels based on the setting.
Step 5 — GENERATE OPTIONS
- Write exactly 4 Japanese text options.
- One option is the correct answer.
- Three options are distractors following the distractor design rules above.
- Options should be short phrases (3-8 words), parallel in structure.
- Randomize the position of the correct answer (vary
correct_option).
Step 6 — WRITE ANALYSIS, LOGIC & TRANSLATIONS
- Select 3-7 key vocabulary words from the dialogue. Provide
reading(hiragana) andmeaningsin all 6 languages (tr, en, de, fr, es, ko). - Identify 1-3 grammar points used. Provide
meaningsin all 6 languages. - Write a logic explanation in all 6 languages that:
- States why the correct answer is correct
- Explains why each distractor is wrong
- References specific dialogue lines
- Translate the
topic,intro,dialogue, andquestioninto all 6 languages. - Use the Speaker Labels Per Language table for dialogue speaker names.
Step 7 — DETERMINE OUTPUT ID
- List existing folders in
backend/listening/data/selectText/that match the pattern[0-9][0-9][0-9]. - Find the highest number.
- The new folder is
{max + 1}, zero-padded to 3 digits.
Step 8 — DISPLAY & WAIT FOR APPROVAL
- Display the complete
question_data.jsonto the user. - Show a summary:
- Source: clip folder + question number
- Pattern: which logic pattern was used
- Correct answer: option text + index
- Distractors: brief explanation of each
- WAIT for user approval. Do NOT save until the user says "Onayla", "OK", "Tamam", "Approved", etc.
Step 9 — SAVE
- Create the output folder:
backend/listening/data/selectText/{id}/ - Write
question.json(Fat JSON format) to the folder. - Confirm the file path to the user.
