Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and incorrect phrasing, and add one specific detail. Use linking words if adding details.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends, especially my best friend. For example, we often talk about what happened during our day and share big news, which helps us stay connected.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence, correct awkward phrases, and organize supporting details with linking words. Be specific about topics and effects.

例: I usually talk with my best friend about our daily activities and personal news. For instance, we describe our work or school experiences and swap funny stories, which helps me relax and keeps our friendship strong.

提案: Start with a clear preference sentence, avoid fillers, and explain reasons logically with linking words. Include one specific example of advice or planning.

例: I prefer chatting one-on-one with my best friend because group conversations can be chaotic. For example, when we plan weekend activities together we can discuss details easily and give each other honest advice.

提案: Good structure and clear reasons. To improve, make sentences more concise and vary vocabulary slightly; add one brief example of a platform or routine.

例: I prefer communicating via social media because of my busy schedule, as I can’t meet friends every day. For example, I often send quick voice notes on WhatsApp during breaks to stay in touch.

提案: Provide a clearer topic sentence, correct grammar, and organize ideas with linking words. Explain why arguments happen and give a concise example of a useful outcome.

例: Yes, sometimes my friends and I argue, especially in group discussions when opinions differ. However, these debates can be interesting and informative; for example, I once learned a new perspective on a movie after a long discussion.

× We gossip lots of things that what is going on in our life, what we do in whole day like these of things.

✓ We gossip about a lot of things, such as what is going on in our lives and what we do during the day.

'Lots of things' needs the preposition 'about' and 'a lot of things' is the correct quantifier phrase. 'What we do in whole day' is ungrammatical; use 'during the day'. 'In our life' should be plural 'in our lives' to match 'we'. Also simplify 'like these of things' to 'such as' for clarity and correctness.

× I usually chat about with my best friend, about what we did during the day, share news about leaves and gossip of fun, help me relax, stay close.

✓ I usually chat with my best friend about what we did during the day, share news and gossip for fun; it helps me relax and stay close to her.

Remove the extra preposition 'about' after 'chat'. 'Share news about leaves' is incorrect; likely meant 'share news' or 'life'. 'Gossip of fun' should be 'gossip for fun'. 'Help me relax, stay close' needs a subject and verb: 'it helps me relax and stay close to her.' Prepositions must connect correctly.

× I prefer to chat with my only best friend because it's, uh, in Group.

✓ I prefer to chat with only my best friend because groups can have different opinions.

'my only best friend' is awkward; 'only my best friend' is clearer. 'in Group' is incorrect: use 'in a group' or 'groups' and include an article. The sentence was clarified to convey the intended contrast between one-on-one and group chats.

× Some people have different thoughts so I like gossip with my best friend.

✓ Some people have different opinions, so I like to gossip with my best friend.

'Different thoughts' is better phrased as 'different opinions'. The verb 'like gossip' needs 'to' before the verb: 'like to gossip'. Maintain present simple tense for habits.

× Sometime we also give each other advice or plan things.

✓ Sometimes we also give each other advice or plan things.

'Sometime' should be 'sometimes' (adverb of frequency). The present tense 'give' and 'plan' is appropriate for habitual actions; correct the adverb form.

× Do you prefer to communicate face to face or via social media? I prefer to communicate via social media because I have a busy schedule and I can't meet people face to face every day.

✓ I prefer to communicate via social media because I have a busy schedule and can't meet people face to face every day.

The first clause repeats the examiner's question; the student's answer should be a standalone sentence. Omit the repeated question. Also contraction 'can't' is fine; maintain parallel structure 'have a busy schedule and can't meet'.

× It's more convenient to send messages or quick voice note, and I can keep in touch with my friends even when I am at work.

✓ It's more convenient to send messages or quick voice notes, and I can keep in touch with my friends even when I am at work.

'Voice note' should be plural to match 'messages' or use an article 'a quick voice note'. Use consistent pluralization: 'quick voice notes'.

× Yes, I argue with friends whenever we talk in a group some people have different thoughts.

✓ Yes, I argue with friends sometimes when we talk in a group because some people have different opinions.

The original is a run-on sentence. Add 'sometimes' and a subordinating conjunction 'because' to connect clauses and clarify cause. Replace 'different thoughts' with 'different opinions'.

× Then we start argue about any topic and are argue is going too long with some time is very interesting and we can get lots of knowledge of.

✓ Then we start to argue about various topics; sometimes the arguments go on for a long time, which can be interesting and a good way to learn new things.

Multiple issues: missing 'to' in 'start to argue', 'are argue is going too long' is ungrammatical—use 'arguments go on for a long time'. 'With some time' should be 'sometimes'. 'We can get lots of knowledge of' is awkward; use 'a good way to learn new things'. Reorganize into clear clauses and correct verb forms.
