适合你水平的解释：

This phrase helps you talk about your plans. You use it after a verb to say what you will do. For example, 'I plan to eat sushi'. It is very useful for daily life.
At this level, you learn to use 'tsumori desu' to express intentions. It is more personal than saying 'I will'. It shows you have thought about your action. You can use it with negative verbs to say what you don't plan to do.
B1 learners use this to navigate social interactions. It is essential for coordinating plans with friends or colleagues. You can now distinguish between 'tsumori' (personal intent) and 'yotei' (scheduled event), allowing for more precise communication in professional and social contexts.
At the B2 level, you understand the nuance of 'tsumori' as a subjective marker. You can use it to express past intentions that were not realized ('tsumori deshita') or to describe a state of mind where one acts under a certain assumption, adding depth to your narrative skills.
C1 mastery involves using 'tsumori' to convey subtle shifts in perspective. You can employ it to frame actions as personal resolutions, even in formal settings, by adjusting the surrounding honorifics. It becomes a tool for expressing agency within the constraints of Japanese social hierarchy.
At the C2 level, you analyze 'tsumori' as a cognitive linguistic marker of intent. You recognize how it functions as a buffer in communication, allowing speakers to assert their will while maintaining the 'wa' (harmony). You can manipulate it in complex, multi-clause sentences to contrast internal intent with external reality.
