Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence answering the question, then add one brief reason or example. Avoid invented labels like "lonely holic" and reduce repetition. Use linking words if you add details.

例: Not really. I don't spend much time with friends these days because I'm quite introverted and busy with work. However, I keep in touch occasionally by messaging when something important comes up.

提案: Answer directly and give specific examples. Use linking words to organize the details and avoid filler words like "uh." Mention 2–3 concrete topics to make your response richer.

例: I usually ask how they are doing and talk about their work or studies. I also discuss everyday things like plans for the weekend or recent movies we've watched.

提案: Start with a clear preference sentence, then provide one or two specific reasons. Use plural/singular consistently and avoid repeating the same idea twice.

例: I prefer chatting one-on-one because conversations feel more personal and I can focus on the other person. Also, since I have a few close friends, one-to-one chats help me maintain stronger relationships.

提案: Give a direct answer followed by specific reasons and a brief example. Avoid informal fillers like "you know" and correct small grammar (e.g., "meetups" or "meet up").

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because I can read body language and express emotions more clearly. For example, when we meet up for coffee it's easier to discuss important matters than over texts.

提案: Answer directly, then give a concise reason and a quick example of how you resolve disagreements. Remove hesitations and repetition to sound more confident.

例: No, I try to avoid arguing because I'm calm and value our friendship. If we disagree, I prefer to talk quietly to resolve it and find a compromise rather than argue.

× I'm a lonely holic person and I don't usually spend time with my friends and I don't nowadays talk to my friends that much.

✓ I'm a loner and I don't usually spend time with my friends, and I don't talk to them that much nowadays.

'Lonely holic' is not a standard phrase; use 'loner' or 'very lonely'. 'Nowadays' should be placed at the end of the clause for natural adverb placement. Also replace the repeated phrase 'my friends' with 'them' to avoid redundancy. Use commas to separate clauses for clarity.

× Whenever I talk to my friends, I ask uh about how they are doing in their life and normal topics about anything.

✓ Whenever I talk to my friends, I ask about how they are doing in their lives and discuss normal everyday topics.

The noun 'life' should be pluralized to 'lives' when referring to several friends. 'Ask about how they are doing' is correct, but 'and normal topics about anything' is awkward; change to 'discuss normal everyday topics' for natural expression.

× I prefer chatting with only one friend because nowadays I don't have a lot of friends and I don't often talk with them, but I keep in touch with some of my closest friend.

✓ I prefer chatting with just one friend because I don't have a lot of friends nowadays and I don't often talk with them, but I keep in touch with some of my closest friends.

'Closest friend' should be plural 'closest friends' because 'some' requires a plural noun. Also move 'nowadays' after the clause for better flow; minor word order change does not affect tense.

× I prefer communication face to face because you know I can see them and I can express my feelings to them whenever we meet ups.

✓ I prefer face-to-face communication because I can see them and express my feelings to them whenever we meet up.

Use 'face-to-face communication' as a fixed phrase; hyphens optional in writing. Remove unnecessary 'you know'. 'Meet ups' is two words or 'meetups' (noun), but here the verb phrase 'meet up' is correct. Also remove the extra 'I' repetitions for fluency.

× No, I don't like arguing with my friends because umm, I'm a very calm and compassionate person and I like to keep a very good relationships with my friends. So I I, I try to stay away from arguing, quarreling and any problem.

✓ No, I don't like arguing with my friends because I'm a very calm and compassionate person and I like to keep very good relationships with them, so I try to stay away from arguing, quarreling, and any problems.

Use plural 'relationships' without the article 'a' when speaking generally. Replace 'my friends' with 'them' to avoid repetition. Remove filler 'umm' and repeated 'I'. Use plural 'problems' after 'any' and add commas for list separation.
