Chatting— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be careful with idioms and collocations: "getting up with my mate" is incorrect here and "stress Buster" should be lowercase and phrased more naturally. Keep sentences concise (max 5) and avoid unnecessary capitalization. Add a clear topic sentence then one or two supporting details using linking words.

예시: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends. I usually message or call them after work because talking helps me relax and lift my mood. For example, a short phone call with a close friend can quickly reduce stress and make me feel more positive.

제안: Use precise vocabulary and correct prepositions (say "discuss the series we've watched", not "discuss about"). Avoid vague phrases like "discover the wide range"; instead use direct language and linking words such as "sometimes" or "also" to connect ideas. Keep sentences clear and under five.

예시: It depends on the person I talk to. Usually we talk about everyday things, such as mutual friends or the TV series we've been watching. Sometimes, we also discuss more serious topics, like our career goals and future plans.

제안: Avoid informal or unclear inserts like "101" and correct small grammar issues ("conversations tend to be"). Use a clear topic sentence and one supporting example with linking words like "for example". Be specific about why one-to-one chats are better.

예시: I prefer talking with one friend because I'm a bit shy and one-to-one conversations feel more private. For example, when I discuss personal problems or future plans, it's easier to be honest and get focused advice without interruptions.

제안: Finish sentences fully (avoid trailing off with "with"). Use concise phrasing and link contrasting ideas with "however" or "but" as you did. Mention a brief specific example of when you use social media to show balance.

예시: I prefer face-to-face communication because body language and immediate feedback reduce misunderstandings. However, I use social media for quick updates—for example, I send short messages to friends when I'm running late or to share photos.

제안: Correct grammar and word choice: replace "These arguments are belief" with something like "These arguments are minor" and "the communicate" with "we communicate". Avoid filler sounds like "Hmm". Provide a concise topic sentence and a specific example, then explain resolution using linking words like "because" or "so".

예시: Yes, I sometimes argue with friends, but usually over minor things like where to eat. For example, we might disagree between trying a new restaurant or going to a familiar one. These disagreements are typically small and are resolved quickly because we value the friendship and communicate openly.

× I am quite a social person so I find that getting up with my mate is one of the best ways to unwind after a long day.

✓ I am quite a social person so I find that getting together with my mate is one of the best ways to unwind after a long day.

The phrase 'getting up with' is incorrect in this context; the correct collocation is 'getting together with' meaning meeting someone. This is an issue of incorrect verb/prepositional collocation (mapped to Incorrect use of verbs/prepositions). Suggestion: use common collocations such as 'get together with' or 'meet up with'. (Grammar problem type ID: 11)

× Whether it's a quick text or a long phone call, it lifts my mood and helps me as a stress Buster.

✓ Whether it's a quick text or a long phone call, it lifts my mood and helps me as a stress buster.

'stress Buster' is incorrectly capitalized and 'stress buster' is a common noun phrase; capitalize only at sentence start or for proper nouns. Also 'helps me as a stress buster' is awkward but acceptable; better: 'helps me as a stress buster' -> 'helps reduce my stress' if rephrasing. (Grammar problem type ID: 13)

× we usually discover the wide range of topics.

✓ we usually cover a wide range of topics.

'discover the wide range of topics' is unnatural; the collocation 'cover a wide range of topics' is correct. This is an incorrect verb usage mapped to Incorrect use of verbs/prepositions. Suggestion: learn common collocations: 'cover topics', 'discuss topics'. (Grammar problem type ID: 11)

× We often chit chat about our friends or may discuss about the series we have watched.

✓ We often chit-chat about our friends or may discuss the series we have watched.

The verb 'discuss' does not take the preposition 'about'; saying 'discuss about' is incorrect. Also 'chit chat' should be hyphenated as 'chit-chat' or written as two words. Suggestion: use 'discuss the series' or 'talk about the series'. (Grammar problem type ID: 11)

× Honestly, I prefer chatting with just one friend due to my shyness and also the conversations tend to be deeper and more personal.

✓ Honestly, I prefer chatting with just one friend because of my shyness, and the conversations tend to be deeper and more personal.

Use 'because of' or 'due to' followed by a noun phrase; 'due to my shyness and also the conversations' mixes structures. Better to say 'because of my shyness, and the conversations...'. This is an issue of sentence structure and preposition/article usage. Suggestion: split clauses or use 'because of'. (Grammar problem type ID: 26)

× For instance, when I discuss problems or plans 101, it's easier to express emotions and receive focused advice.

✓ For instance, when I discuss problems or plans one-on-one, it's easier to express emotions and receive focused advice.

'101' is incorrect here; the intended expression is 'one-on-one' meaning between two people. This is a misuse of numeric shorthand and sentence structure. Suggestion: use 'one-on-one' or 'one to one'. (Grammar problem type ID: 26)

× However, I also use social media for quick updates and to stay in touch with.

✓ However, I also use social media for quick updates and to stay in touch with friends.

The preposition 'with' requires an object. The sentence is incomplete without specifying with whom. Add 'friends' or 'people' after 'with'. This is an incorrect use of prepositions and a sentence structure error. Suggestion: complete the prepositional phrase. (Grammar problem type ID: 11)

× Hmm, yes. I sometimes argue with friends though usually about small things like plans or misunderstandings.

✓ Hmm, yes. I sometimes argue with friends, though usually about small things like plans or misunderstandings.

This sentence is mostly correct but needs a comma before 'though' to connect clauses smoothly. Also 'argue with friends though usually' without a comma is stylistically awkward. This is punctuation/sentence structure issue. Suggestion: add comma for clarity. (Grammar problem type ID: 26)

× These arguments are belief and often resolved quickly because we value the friendship and the communicate openly to find.

✓ These arguments are brief and are often resolved quickly because we value the friendship and communicate openly to find solutions.

Multiple issues: 'belief' is wrong word; intended 'brief' meaning short. 'the communicate openly' has an unnecessary article 'the' before 'communicate', and the sentence ends abruptly 'to find' without object—add 'solutions'. Fixes include correct word choice, article removal, and completing the verb phrase. This involves incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs, article errors, and sentence structure. Suggestion: replace wrong words, remove extra articles, and finish the clause. (Grammar problem type ID: 13)
