Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 답변은 자연스럽고 직접적이지만 좀 더 구체적인 예시와 연결어를 사용해 말을 풍부하게 하세요. 예를 들어 ‘몇 번이나, 누구와, 어떤 상황에서’ 대화를 나누는지 구체적으로 말하고, 이유를 설명할 때 결과나 감정 변화를 덧붙이면 더 설득력 있습니다. 문장 길이를 3~4문장으로 유지하고 중복 표현(예: ‘chat’ 반복)을 피하세요.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends because it helps me relieve stress. For example, I often meet my close friend Sarah at a nearby cafe twice a week, and we usually talk for three to four hours. As a result, I feel much more relaxed and ready to focus on my work afterward.

提案: 답변이 솔직하지만 다소 모호하고 비문형 표현(‘and so on’)이 있습니다. 구체적인 주제와 하나의 예시를 들어 내용을 풍부하게 하세요. 또한 연결어(예: ‘for example’, ‘also’, ‘sometimes’)를 사용해 문장 흐름을 자연스럽게 만드세요.

例: Mostly we talk about everyday things rather than serious topics. For example, we discuss what we did the previous night, recent shows we watched on Netflix, and occasionally celebrity news. Sometimes we also share recommendations for new series or restaurants.

提案: 의견은 분명하지만 표현이 반복적이고 문법(‘more close’→‘closer’)과 어휘 선택을 다듬을 필요가 있습니다. 이유를 제시할 때 구체적 상황(예: 깊은 대화, 신뢰가 필요한 주제)을 들어 보충하고 연결어로 논리를 정리하세요.

例: I prefer talking one-on-one with a close friend because conversations feel more intimate and honest. For instance, when discussing personal problems or future plans, I find it easier to open up in a private setting. Therefore I usually maintain a small circle of trusted friends.

提案: 좋은 이유를 제시했지만 표현이 다소 과장되고 반복됩니다(‘That way’ 반복, ‘I cannot lie about anything’는 극단적). 더 자연스러운 문장으로 바꾸고 예시를 추가하세요. ‘social medias’→‘social media’로 단수 사용을 고치세요.

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because I can read facial expressions and body language, which helps me understand my friends better. For example, if someone seems upset I can notice it immediately and respond appropriately. I use social media for quick messages, but I rely on in-person meetings for meaningful conversations.

提案: 답변은 간결하지만 더 자연스럽고 상세한 이유나 빈도 표현을 추가하세요. ‘small matters’ 뒤에 구체적 예시를 자연스럽게 연결하고, 연결어(‘for instance’, ‘usually’)를 사용하면 좋습니다.

例: Yes, we sometimes argue, but usually about trivial things rather than serious issues. For instance, we might disagree over whether a recent movie was good or bad, or whether a book was worth reading. These debates are lighthearted and don’t affect our friendship.

× I enjoy chatting with my friends.

✓ I enjoy chatting with my friends.

No change needed; 'enjoy' is followed by verb+ing, which is correct. Keep using 'enjoy chatting'.

× It helps me to relieve stress.

✓ It helps me relieve stress.

With 'help' the to-infinitive is optional; both 'helps me to relieve' and 'helps me relieve' are grammatical, but native usage often omits 'to'. Suggest removing 'to' for naturalness.

× I go to a cafe and have a chat with my friends for about 3 or 4 hours.

✓ I go to a cafe and have a chat with my friends for about three or four hours.

Spell out small numbers in formal writing; grammar is otherwise correct. Using 'have a chat' is natural.

× Nothing special or serious.

✓ Nothing special or serious.

Sentence fragment is conversational and acceptable as an answer fragment. No grammatical quantifier error; keep as is.

× I usually talk about what I did last night, what I saw on Netflix and some gossips about celebrities and so on.

✓ I usually talk about what I did last night, what I saw on Netflix, and some gossip about celebrities, and so on.

Use past tense 'did' and 'saw' correctly. 'Gossip' is an uncountable noun; use 'gossip' not 'gossips'. Add commas for clarity.

× Actually I prefer chatting with only one friend.

✓ Actually, I prefer chatting with only one friend.

Add comma after 'Actually' for natural written style. Grammar is correct.

× I think it's more close and intimate.

✓ I think it's closer and more intimate.

'Close' is an adjective; comparative form is 'closer'. To compare two qualities, use 'closer and more intimate' or 'closer and more intimate relationship'.

× Also I would like to keep the relationship honest and close.

✓ Also, I would like to keep the relationship honest and close.

Add comma after 'Also' for style. Sentence is grammatical; 'honest and close' is acceptable.

× I only need few friends.

✓ I only need a few friends.

Use 'a few' to indicate a small number of countable nouns. 'Few' without 'a' implies almost none. Use 'a few' for affirmative meaning.

× I prefer communicating face to face because in that way I can see my friends facial expressions.

✓ I prefer communicating face to face because that way I can see my friends' facial expressions.

Possessive plural of 'friends' requires an apostrophe after 'friends' (friends') to show ownership. Remove 'in' before 'that way' for naturalness: 'because that way'.

× That way I can be more honest.

✓ That way I can be more honest.

No change needed; sentence is correct. 'Can' expresses ability; appropriate here.

× I cannot lie about anything.

✓ I cannot lie about anything.

Sentence is grammatically correct; 'cannot' properly negates ability.

× Also I do not rely on social medias.

✓ Also, I do not rely on social media.

'Social media' is an uncountable/collective noun; do not pluralize as 'medias'. Add comma after 'Also' for style.

× Yes, sometimes I argue with my friends, but not about serious things.

✓ Yes, sometimes I argue with my friends, but not about serious things.

Sentence is grammatically correct; present simple 'argue' is appropriate for habitual actions.

× I argue about small matters, such as what movie was bad or good or what book was perfect or terrible.

✓ I argue about small matters, such as whether a movie was good or bad or whether a book was perfect or terrible.

Use 'whether' to introduce alternatives, and keep parallel order 'good or bad' rather than 'bad or good'. Maintain consistent structure for clarity.
