Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct common collocations. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler sounds, and use correct verbs and nouns (e.g., "daily routine", "chat" not "chart"). Use one or two supporting details and a linking phrase.

例: Yes — I enjoy chatting with my friends as part of my daily routine. We usually catch up on recent news and share updates about school, and we often use convenient messaging apps like Telegram or WhatsApp.

提案: Give a clear main idea and organise supporting details with linking words. Avoid repetition and unclear time references. Be specific about topics and provide one short example.

例: We mainly talk about school-related topics, such as homework, upcoming tests and our daily schedules. For example, last week we discussed the dates and revision plans for an upcoming math test.

提案: Answer directly and avoid hesitations and repetition. State preference (if any), then give a reason and an example using linking words like "because" or "for example." Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

例: I don't mind group chats, and I actually prefer them when working on group projects because they help us coordinate tasks. For example, during our last project we used a group chat to assign roles and share files quickly.

提案: Start with a clear preference sentence, then give two concise reasons with linking words. Avoid wordiness and be careful with vocabulary (e.g., "face-to-face conversation," "feel isolated").

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can see facial expressions and build stronger connections. Although social media is convenient, it can feel isolating since you miss nonverbal cues.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence about frequency, then explain reasons and how you resolve arguments using linking words. Improve grammar (e.g., "we listen to each other's opinions", "we resolve disagreements by talking").

例: Yes, we sometimes argue because teenagers often have different opinions on topics like school or hobbies. However, we usually resolve disagreements by listening to each other's views and talking calmly until we find a solution.

× It's one of my daily basis to chat with my friends to catch up on recent news.

✓ It's part of my daily routine to chat with my friends to catch up on recent news.

'daily basis' is not used with 'one of'; the correct noun phrase is 'daily routine' or 'on a daily basis'. Using 'one of my daily basis' is ungrammatical. Suggest using 'part of my daily routine' or 'on a daily basis' to express frequency.

× we try to chart in such platforms where it is convenient for both of us, for example, Telegram or WhatsApp.

✓ we try to chat on platforms that are convenient for both of us, for example, Telegram or WhatsApp.

'chart' is a spelling error for 'chat' (verb). Also preposition 'in' is incorrect with 'platforms' (use 'on'), and 'such platforms where it is convenient' is awkward—use 'platforms that are convenient'. Fix spelling and preposition and use a relative clause.

× So, as already said, we tried to catch up on some recent news about school, about our, umm, daily tasks, about some tests in our school.

✓ So, as I said, we try to catch up on recent news about school, our daily tasks, and some tests.

The student mixed past 'tried' with 'recent' (present context). The correct tense is present simple 'try' to describe usual activities. Also streamline repetition and articles.

× Because, uh, we used to. It's about as regards my friend, we used to be classmates, but now we aren't.

✓ We used to be classmates, but now we aren't.

The fragment 'Because, uh, we used to.' is incomplete and redundant. Combine clauses to use 'used to' appropriately to indicate a past habitual state that no longer holds. Removing the unclear phrase clarifies meaning.

× That's why we also chat about our tests and.

✓ That's why we also chat about our tests and other school matters.

Sentence ends abruptly with 'and' making it incomplete. Complete the coordination by adding the object ('other school matters') to finish the thought.

× So there is no problem to chat with the group because there are many cases when I need to deal with a group project.

✓ So there's no problem chatting with a group because there are many times when I need to work on a group project.

'No problem to chat with' is awkward—use 'no problem chatting with'. 'Many cases' is unnatural; 'many times' or 'often' fits better. 'Deal with a group project' is acceptable but 'work on' is more natural.

× That's why I need, I have to, I have to communicate in a group.

✓ That's why I need to communicate in a group.

Redundant phrasing 'I need, I have to, I have to' is repetitive. Use a single correct infinitive 'need to communicate'. Keep concise to be natural.

× So yeah, I think it it is a skill that needs to be developed.

✓ So yeah, I think it is a skill that needs to be developed.

Typo 'it it' duplicate word; remove the extra 'it'. The tense is appropriate (present general statement) and 'needs to be developed' is correct passive form.

× So both both of these options are OK for me, but so I would prefer to face to face conversation because when you connect only by using Internet, you lose the sense of communication because you don't see the face of the person and I think it can lead to an isolation.

✓ Both of these options are OK with me, but I would prefer face-to-face conversation because when you connect only via the Internet, you lose the sense of communication since you don't see the other person's face, and I think it can lead to isolation.

Multiple issues: duplicate 'both', preposition choices ('OK with me' better than 'for me'), 'face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face' used as adjective, 'connect only by using Internet' should be 'connect only via the Internet' or 'by using the Internet', 'the face of the person' is better as 'the other person's face', and 'an isolation' should be 'isolation' (uncountable). Fix these prepositions, articles, and word forms.

× Oh, definitely. Sometimes we argue because it is common for especially teenagers to have some different thoughts on a theme.

✓ Oh, definitely. Sometimes we argue because it's common, especially for teenagers, to have different opinions on a topic.

'It is common for especially teenagers' has awkward word order; place 'especially' next to 'teenagers'. 'Different thoughts on a theme' is unnatural; use 'different opinions on a topic'. The modal use is okay but wording and order needed correction.

× But we try to listen our opinions and to resolve this question we are conversation.

✓ But we try to listen to each other's opinions and to resolve the issue by talking.

'Listen our opinions' requires preposition 'to' and reflexive/reciprocal expression 'each other's opinions'. 'Resolve this question we are conversation' is ungrammatical—use 'resolve the issue by talking' or 'through conversation'. Fix pronoun and sentence structure.
