Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and use correct verb forms. Limit to 2–3 sentences and add a brief reason or example.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends because I’m an extrovert and social interaction energizes me. For example, I often spend evenings discussing our day or planning activities together.

提案: Organize your ideas and use linking words. Give a clear topic sentence listing main topics, then add one specific example. Reduce fillers and correct grammar (e.g., "we talk about").

例: We usually talk about studies, fashion and social media trends. For instance, last week we discussed a viral makeup tutorial and whether it was worth trying.

提案: Give a clear direct answer then support with a concise reason using linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., "a group of people", "they can give better advice"). Avoid repetition.

例: I prefer chatting in a group because several people can offer different opinions and advice. For example, when planning an event, the group can suggest ideas faster than asking everyone individually.

提案: State your preference clearly with reasons and avoid vague phrases. Use one or two well-formed sentences and replace "inconvenient" with a clearer reason (e.g., "nervous").

例: I prefer communicating via text because it makes me feel more relaxed and gives me time to think before replying. For example, I often message friends instead of calling when I’m busy or anxious about speaking live.

提案: Give a direct answer and add a brief explanation with linking words. Use natural phrases (e.g., "I usually stay calm, but I argue when..."), and avoid informal fillers like "so yeah".

例: Yes, I sometimes argue with friends. Usually I stay calm, but I will speak up if someone hurts my feelings or disagrees about something important.

× Yes I do, I am an extrovert so whenever I am chatting with my friend I enjoy with them and I like to chatting with them.

✓ Yes, I do. I am an extrovert, so whenever I chat with my friends I enjoy being with them and I like chatting with them.

Pronoun and number errors: 'my friend' disagrees with 'them' (plural). Use 'my friends' to match plural pronoun. Also remove unnecessary preposition 'with' after 'enjoy'; use 'enjoy being with them' or 'enjoy time with them'. 'I like to chatting' is incorrect verb form; use 'I like chatting' or 'I like to chat'. Also add punctuation to separate clauses for clarity.

× Well, it's really different because we have a conversation with a different kind of topics like studies, trends like beauty, fashion and sometimes gossiping.

✓ Well, it varies a lot because we have conversations on different topics like studies, trends such as beauty and fashion, and sometimes gossip.

Tense and noun form: 'it's really different' is vague; 'it varies' fits. 'We have a conversation' should be plural 'conversations' when speaking generally. 'Different kind of topics' is awkward; use 'different topics'. 'Trends like beauty, fashion' -> 'trends such as beauty and fashion'. Use 'gossip' instead of 'gossiping' to list topics.

× It depends the situation.

✓ It depends on the situation.

Missing preposition: the phrasal verb 'depend on' requires the preposition 'on'. Without it the sentence is ungrammatical.

× We usually, uh, to talk kind of trends that's in the social media, uh had and uh.

✓ We usually talk about the kinds of trends that are on social media.

Incorrect infinitive and structure: 'to talk kind of trends' is wrong; use 'talk about the kinds of trends'. 'that's in the social media' should be 'that are on social media'. Remove filler words and redundant verbs.

× I usually prefer uh chatting with a group of people because when the group have a more than uh, like several like people they can have, they can give you the best advice and you don't need to chat with them separately.

✓ I usually prefer chatting with a group of people because when a group has several people they can give you better advice and you don't need to talk to them separately.

Subject-verb agreement and word choice: 'the group have' should be 'a group has' (third person singular 'has'). 'a more than uh, like several like people' is ungrammatical; use 'several people'. 'give you the best advice' -> 'give you better advice' is more natural. Use 'talk to them' instead of 'chat with them separately' for clarity.

× Well, I don't like to communicate, uh, face to face with someone because it makes me inconvenient.

✓ Well, I don't like to communicate face to face with someone because it makes me uncomfortable.

Word choice: 'inconvenient' describes situations or things, not people. Use 'uncomfortable' to describe a person's feeling. Remove unnecessary commas.

× I prefer texting and I also prefer like texting when it comes to calling with audio.

✓ I prefer texting, and I also prefer texting to audio calls.

Awkward repetition and preposition: 'prefer like texting when it comes to calling with audio' is redundant and ungrammatical. Use 'prefer texting to audio calls' or 'prefer texting rather than audio calls'. Maintain parallel structure for 'prefer' + gerund.

× So I like texting and it makes me more relaxed and more.

✓ So I like texting because it makes me feel more relaxed.

Incomplete comparison and redundancy: 'more relaxed and more' is incomplete. Use 'more relaxed' and include 'feel' to link the effect. Remove unnecessary repetition.

× Yes, I do argue sometimes. Usually I'm a cool girl, but when they made me angry I need to argue with them.

✓ Yes, I do argue sometimes. Usually I'm a calm person, but when they make me angry I need to argue with them.

Tense and word choice: 'when they made me angry' mixes past with present context; use present 'make me angry' for habitual actions. 'I'm a cool girl' is colloquial; 'I'm a calm person' is more natural. Also 'need to argue' is acceptable for habitual necessity but could be softened to 'I argue with them'.
