Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the response more concise and natural by starting with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples. Reduce filler and slightly correct phrasing (e.g., "by messaging" -> "by messaging them").

例: Yes — I enjoy chatting with my friends to catch up on recent events. For example, we often message each other about work updates or plans for the weekend, and I also call my family regularly to stay in touch.

提案: Begin with a direct topic sentence and use linking words for clarity. Be specific about topics and correct grammar ("a best advice" -> "advice"; "feedbacks" -> "feedback"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

例: We usually talk about personal updates and future plans. For instance, I tell them about my career goals and upcoming trips, and we give each other advice and constructive feedback.

提案: This answer is clear and well structured. Improve by tightening language, using linking words (e.g., "however") and correcting small errors ("a tour trip" -> "a trip"). Limit to 2–3 sentences.

例: It depends. I enjoy group chats for projects or trip planning, however for sensitive or personal matters I prefer one-on-one conversations so I can speak openly.

提案: Remove filler sounds ("umm") and make sentences more grammatical and concise. Start with a clear preference, give 2 specific reasons, and contrast briefly with social media. Use linking words like "because" and "however."

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can read tone of voice and body language. However, social media is useful for quick updates, but it often leads to misunderstandings without nonverbal cues.

提案: Good direct response. Improve by combining sentences for fluency and using a linking word to explain how you handle disagreements. Correct phrasing ("place my side of story" -> "explain my side of the story").

例: Generally I don't argue with friends; I respect their ideas and, if we disagree, I calmly explain my side of the story and offer my opinion.

× I love to talk with my family over the phone with messaging.

✓ I love talking with my family by phone or by messaging.

The original mixes infinitive 'to talk' with awkward prepositions 'over the phone with messaging'. Use the gerund 'talking' after 'love' for natural collocation. Replace 'over the phone with messaging' with 'by phone or by messaging' to clarify two communication methods and use correct prepositions.

× With friends I can say that we usually share what's going on in their lives and also they get to know what I am doing and what are my future plans so we can give each other a best advice and feedbacks.

✓ With friends, I can say that we usually share what's going on in our lives, and they get to know what I am doing and what my future plans are, so we can give each other good advice and feedback.

Multiple issues: 'their lives' mismatches subject 'we' so use 'our lives' (pronoun agreement). 'They get to know what I am doing and what are my future plans' has incorrect word order for indirect question; use 'what my future plans are'. 'a best advice' is incorrect article and collocation; 'advice' is uncountable, use 'good advice'. 'feedbacks' is uncountable/plural misuse; use 'feedback'.

× Honestly it depends if it's a group project or a teamwork or we are planning for a tour trip or if it's a family conversation.

✓ Honestly, it depends: if it's a group project or teamwork, or if we are planning a trip, or if it's a family conversation.

Sentence is long and unbalanced. 'a teamwork' is incorrect because 'teamwork' is uncountable; remove the article. 'tour trip' is redundant; use 'trip'. Adding punctuation and parallel structure improves clarity.

× I love to chat in a group but if it's a sensitive or a personal topic I would love to have a one-on-one conversation so I can speak openly.

✓ I love to chat in a group, but if it's a sensitive or personal topic, I would prefer a one-on-one conversation so I can speak openly.

'a sensitive or a personal topic' repeats the article; drop the second 'a' or remove both. 'would love to have' is grammatical but 'would prefer' is more natural in contrasting context. Added commas for clarity.

× Again, I would say it depends umm, but I'll still prefer face to face conversation as from there you can umm, you get to know about other person, tone of voice, body language and so on.

✓ Again, I would say it depends, but I still prefer face-to-face conversation because there you can get to know the other person's tone of voice, body language, and so on.

Use 'prefer' rather than 'I'll still prefer' for habitual preference. Add hyphens in 'face-to-face'. 'as from there you can umm, you get to know about other person' is ungrammatical and redundant; use 'because there you can get to know the other person's...' and possessive 'other person's'.

× But umm, over the social media, I think it's a lot of misunderstanding.

✓ But on social media, I think there is a lot of misunderstanding.

Use 'on social media' not 'over the social media'. 'I think it's a lot of misunderstanding' is awkward; use 'there is a lot of misunderstanding' to state existence correctly.

× You didn't get to know about how the person wants to see in which manner he or she wants to say.

✓ You don't get to know how the person wants to be seen or in what manner he or she wants to speak.

Original mixes tenses and has unclear pronoun references. Use present tense 'don't get to know' for general truth. 'wants to see' is passive and unclear; 'wants to be seen' clarifies perspective. Rephrase 'in which manner he or she wants to say' to 'in what manner he or she wants to speak'.

× Generally I don't.

✓ Generally, I don't argue.

Fragment 'Generally I don't.' lacks explicit verb when context may allow omission, but it's clearer to state 'I don't argue' to complete the sentence and match the question.

× I do respect their ideas as well and even if we disagree on some point I calmly place my side of story and give my opinion.

✓ I respect their ideas, and even if we disagree on some points, I calmly present my side of the story and give my opinion.

'I do respect' is grammatical but 'I respect' is more natural. 'some point' should be plural 'some points'. 'place my side of story' is incorrect collocation; use 'present my side of the story'. Added commas for clarity.
