Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and fix common errors (daily basic → on a daily basis; one way → one way to).

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends, and I do it on a daily basis. Because most of them live far away, I usually communicate online through messaging apps and video calls, which helps me keep in touch despite not meeting face-to-face.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence and then add specific examples with correct grammar and linking words. Avoid vague phrases like "it's like about everything" and correct tense/agreements (we chatting → we chat; how they going → how they're doing).

例: We talk about a wide range of topics, mostly our daily lives and personal updates. For example, at the moment one friend is taking driving lessons, so we often discuss cars, practicing techniques, and tips for passing the driving test.

提案: Answer directly, improve fluency and fix grammar/phrasing (more freely → speak more freely; without afraid → without being afraid). Use a linking phrase to explain reason and keep it concise (max 3–4 sentences).

例: I prefer chatting with one friend because I can speak more freely and express my thoughts openly. For instance, in one-to-one conversations I feel less judged and can discuss personal issues in more detail.

提案: Give a clear preference or say you combine both, then explain with specific reasons. Correct collocations (both ways of communication; most of my friends live abroad; one of the ways). Avoid filler words and repetition.

例: I usually combine both methods: I prefer face-to-face meetings when possible, but because most of my friends live abroad, I rely on social media and video calls to stay in touch regularly.

提案: Answer directly and give a clear reason with correct grammar (show → shows; listen them → listen to them; straighten → strengthen). Use linking words to connect ideas and keep it concise.

例: Yes, we do argue sometimes. I believe healthy arguments show that we listen to each other and express different perspectives, which can actually strengthen our relationship if handled respectfully.

× Of course I like chatting with my friend and I do it on daily basic.

✓ Of course I like chatting with my friends and I do it on a daily basis.

The noun 'friend' should be plural 'friends' because the speaker talks generally about chatting with friends. 'On daily basic' is incorrect collocation; correct phrase is 'on a daily basis'. Use 'a' before 'daily basis'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for general habits and memorize fixed expressions like 'on a daily basis'.

× I mean unfortunately I don't have a lot of opportunity to hang out with my friend offline face to face.

✓ I mean, unfortunately I don't have many opportunities to hang out with my friends offline face to face.

Countable noun 'opportunity' should be plural 'opportunities' when modified by 'a lot of' or replaced by 'many'. 'My friend' should be plural 'my friends' for general situations. Also add commas for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'many' with plural countable nouns and keep number agreement between plural 'friends' and 'opportunities'.

× So online chatting is a one way how I can communicate with them so.

✓ So online chatting is one way I can communicate with them.

Redundant words 'a one' and 'how' together create an awkward structure; 'one way I can communicate' is concise. The final 'so' is unnecessary. Suggestion: Remove redundant words and keep sentence concise.

× It's like about everything.

✓ It's about everything.

The filler phrase 'It's like about' is informal and redundant; 'It's about everything' is grammatically correct and concise. Suggestion: Avoid unnecessary fillers in formal speech.

× I don't have any secret with my friend and we chatting about our daily life, how they going.

✓ I don't have any secrets with my friends and we chat about our daily lives, how they are doing.

'Secret' should be plural 'secrets' when speaking generally. 'My friend' should be 'my friends'. 'We chatting' lacks auxiliary verb; correct is 'we chat'. 'Daily life' should be plural 'daily lives' to match plural friends. 'How they going' needs auxiliary 'are' and '-ing' form: 'how they are doing'. Suggestion: Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct use of auxiliaries; match plural forms consistently.

× And for example, right now my friend one my friend try to get a driving class license and uh, now our chatting about cars, driving, practicing and so on.

✓ For example, right now one of my friends is trying to get a driving license, and now we're chatting about cars, driving, practice, and so on.

Use 'one of my friends' for clarity. 'Try' must be 'is trying' for third person singular present continuous. 'Driving class license' is awkward; 'driving license' or 'driver's license' is correct. 'Our chatting' should be 'we're chatting' (we are chatting). 'Practicing' as a noun should be 'practice' here. Suggestion: Use correct third-person verb forms and natural noun phrases; use contractions or full forms with correct auxiliaries.

× I try to combine these both way of ways of communication.

✓ I try to combine both ways of communication.

Redundant and incorrect phrasing 'these both way of ways' should be 'both ways'. 'Ways of communication' is correct without extra determiners. Suggestion: Use 'both' with plural noun 'ways' and avoid redundancies.

× I mean right now most of my friend live abroad so I don't have a lot of opportunity to meet them quite often.

✓ I mean, right now most of my friends live abroad, so I don't have many opportunities to meet them very often.

'Most of my friend' should be 'most of my friends'. 'Live' agrees with plural 'friends' but punctuation helps. 'A lot of opportunity' should be 'many opportunities'. 'Quite often' can be 'very often' — both acceptable; 'very often' sounds more natural here. Suggestion: Ensure plural forms with quantifiers and use correct quantifier ('many') for countable nouns.

× So online social media is one of the way how I can communicate with them like fortunately.

✓ So online social media is one of the ways I can use to communicate with them, fortunately.

'One of the way' should be 'one of the ways' (plural). 'How I can communicate' is awkward; 'I can use to communicate' or 'I can communicate with' is better. 'Like fortunately' is misplaced; 'fortunately' as an adverb at the end is clearer. Suggestion: Use 'one of the ways' with plural noun and place adverbs like 'fortunately' appropriately.

× Of course, it's quite often practiced in our conversation.

✓ Of course, it quite often happens in our conversations.

'It's quite often practiced' is awkward: 'practiced' implies deliberate action; 'happens' fits naturally. 'Conversation' should be plural 'conversations' when speaking generally. Subject-verb agreement: 'it happens'. Suggestion: Choose verbs that collocate naturally with 'argue' context and match plurality.

× I think that when you argue with your friend, it show that you really listen them and try to show your own perspective in some cases and it only can straighten our relationship.

✓ I think that when you argue with your friends, it shows that you really listen to them and try to show your own perspective in some cases, and it can only strengthen our relationship.

'Your friend' should be plural 'your friends' for general statements. 'It show' needs third person singular 'shows'. 'Listen them' requires preposition 'to': 'listen to them'. 'Straighten' is the wrong verb; 'strengthen' means to make stronger. Word order and punctuation adjusted for clarity. Suggestion: Ensure verb agreement, correct prepositions after verbs (listen to), and choose correct verbs (strengthen vs straighten).
