A: I played the role of an emperor. This sentence is correct. By using "an" it states you played an unspecified, not previously mentioned emperor. "The" role implies you have already been talking about a play / show / whatever.

I played a role of the (or a) emperor. Awkward. It would always be "the role" because you are talking about a specific role you played. "A role" with a more general statement: I played a role in the play. Or I played a role in a play.

I played the role of the emperor. This sentence is also correct, but in this case it is specific emperor. It could be a historical figure that was previously mentioned. It could just be that you and listener looked at a list of the characters in the play. Or it just be implied that the emperor is a character in the play. Either way, "the" makes it specific.

In this case, these 2 phrases are the same, but the first one is a little more indirect.

A: The simple answer is that a semicolon (;) is weaker than a period (.) but stronger than a comma (,).

Semicolons are mostly used in formal English. They are seldom used in informal English. But they are used in informal English sometimes. There are two common uses for a semicolon.

1. To join two sentences together when the sentences are very closely related. A semicolon can sometimes be used to fix a wrong sentence. For example:

Right: My car would not start this morning; the battery was dead.

Wrong: "My car would not start this morning, the battery was dead." You cannot join two sentences together with a comma. This is a common mistake that native speakers sometimes do. But it's an easy mistake to fix. One way to fix it is by using a semicolon instead of a comma.
Another way to fix it is by using a period instead of a comma.

Right: My car would not start this morning. The battery was dead.

Another way to fix it is by using a conjunction instead of a comma.

Right: My car would not start this morning because the battery was dead.

2. The other use of a semicolon is when you have too many commas in a sentence. For example:

Right: If you bring your sunglasses, sunscreen, and a towel; we can go to the beach.

Wrong: "If you bring your sunglasses, sunscreen, and a towel, we can go to the beach." This sentence is wrong because it has too many commas and it's confusing. But it can easily be fixed by changing the comma after "towel" to a semicolon.

I love how you weave different words into the essay. It was fun to read. I corrected each sentence individually, but I have some comments as well for you to consider.

First, try to avoid passive voice. I don't know if you have been introduced to passive/active voice, but simply speaking 'active voice' has a clear subject while 'passive voice' does not. 言う is active voice, 言われる is passive voice. I was always taught that passive voice is not appropriate for essays, so try to avoid it.

Secondly, beware of 起承転結. This is a Japanese format for reasoning, and is not as common in English. State your points first, then explain.

Thirdly, please note that the question is not "WHY should the central government determine school curriculums?" The prompt is "WHAT role should the central government play in determining school curriculums?" At some points during your essay I wondered if you misread the question. For example, "Therefore, setting a concrete goal is necessary for the central government to make a clear pillar." does not clearly answer the question.

I hope this helps! My points above are very specific, but you seem to have a strong grasp of English already. Good luck!
