Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more grammatical and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence without hesitation, correct articles and pluralization, and avoid filler words. For example, say “Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends, especially close ones.” Keep it to 1–2 clear sentences.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends, especially my close friends. It helps me relax and stay connected with them.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence and specific supporting details; remove hesitations and correct word choice (e.g., “right now” not “in this moment,” “we chat” not “we shot,” and “weather” not “whether”). Use linking words like “also” or “sometimes” to connect ideas. Keep to a maximum of 3–4 short sentences.

例: Right now I usually chat with one close friend. We talk mainly about video games and sometimes discuss the weather or recent world events.

提案: Start directly and use correct comparative phrasing. Replace “the only one friend” with “one-on-one” or “a single friend,” and use a linking word to explain why. For example: “I prefer one-on-one conversations because I feel more comfortable and relaxed.”

例: I prefer one-on-one conversations because I feel more comfortable and relaxed than when I speak in a group.

提案: Give a clear choice and explain with specific reasons. Correct grammar: use “I prefer texting” or “I prefer face-to-face.” Avoid filler words and keep sentences short. Use connectives like “but” to compare both options.

例: I prefer texting for everyday communication because it makes me feel comfortable. However, I like face-to-face conversations when I want to understand someone’s emotions better.

提案: Answer directly in present simple and give a brief reason with a linking word such as “because.” Avoid past tense unless referring to a specific incident. Be concise and reduce hesitation. For example: “No, I rarely argue with my friends because I respect them and try to keep conversations respectful.”

例: No, I rarely argue with my friends because I respect them and try to keep our conversations calm and respectful.

× Yeah, I do like a chatting with a friend, especially the closer one.

✓ Yeah, I do like chatting with a friend, especially a close one.

The sentence has incorrect article use and adjective form. 'a chatting' is wrong because 'chatting' as a gerund does not need the indefinite article 'a'. Use 'like chatting' instead. 'the closer one' incorrectly uses the comparative 'closer' with 'the' and 'one'; use the adjective 'close' to describe the friend: 'a close one'. Suggestion: remove the extra article before the gerund and use 'close' for the adjective.

× In this moment, I, uh, have one friend and we shot, uh, uh, usually about, uh, video games and, uh, sometimes about whether and what happened in the world.

✓ At the moment, I have one friend and we usually chat about video games and sometimes about weather and things happening in the world.

Multiple issues: tense/time expression and wrong verb choice. 'In this moment' should be 'At the moment'. 'We shot' is incorrect — likely a mispronunciation of 'we chat' or wrong verb; use present simple 'we usually chat' for habitual action. 'Whether' is wrong word; should be 'weather' if speaking about climate, or 'whether' only in choices. 'What happened in the world' is awkward for ongoing topics; 'things happening in the world' or 'what's happening in the world' fits present context. Suggestion: use correct time phrase, the verb 'chat' in present simple, and correct vocabulary 'weather' or 'what's happening'.

× I prefer to chat with the only one friend because I feel comfortable and peaceful then a group of people.

✓ I prefer to chat with just one friend because I feel more comfortable and peaceful than in a group of people.

Incorrect article and comparative structure. 'the only one friend' is ungrammatical; use 'just one friend' or 'only one friend'. 'then' is wrong word; should be 'than' for comparison. Also comparatives need 'more' before adjectives 'comfortable' and 'peaceful'. Suggestion: use 'just one friend' and correct comparative 'more ... than' and include 'in' before 'a group' to show context.

× I suppose is nice for me. I prefer to texting and uh, this is make me comfortable and I like uh, to talk, uh, face, uh, to face, to understand the person more.

✓ I suppose it is nice for me. I prefer texting because it makes me comfortable, and I also like to talk face to face to understand the person better.

Multiple errors: missing subject 'it' after 'I suppose' (pronoun error), incorrect verb forms and prepositions. 'prefer to texting' mixes infinitive and gerund; use 'prefer texting' or 'prefer to text'. 'this is make me comfortable' should be 'this makes me comfortable' (subject-verb agreement and verb form). 'to talk, face to face' should be 'to talk face to face' (remove extra commas). 'more' at end is vague; use 'better'. Suggestion: include required pronoun 'it', choose consistent verb form (gerund or infinitive), ensure subject-verb agreement, and use 'face to face' without commas.

× No, I didn't argue with my friend this, uh, because I, uh, respect them and I, uh, try to make, uh, our conversation more, uh, respectful.

✓ No, I didn't argue with my friend about this because I respect them and I try to keep our conversation respectful.

Tense and word choice: 'didn't argue with my friend this' is unclear; include preposition 'about' to indicate topic. The rest mixes past negative with present simple ('didn't argue' indicates a past event, but speaker explains habitual attitude with present 'respect' and 'try' — this is acceptable if speaker means generally). Simplify to 'keep our conversation respectful'. Suggestion: add 'about' after 'argue' and use concise verbs 'keep' and present simple to express ongoing attitudes.
