Chatting— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and natural: start with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Avoid repeating 'conversation' and reduce redundancy.

예시: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends because we can exchange ideas. For example, every weekend we discuss our jobs and hobbies, which helps me learn new tips and stay motivated.

제안: Lead with a clear topic sentence and use precise vocabulary (plans instead of plan). Use a linking phrase to connect the reason and give one specific example.

예시: We usually chat about our daily lives, future plans, and hobbies. For instance, last weekend we planned a hiking trip together, which brought us closer as a group.

제안: Good structure and content; make linking words explicit and add a brief contrasting clause to show awareness of the alternative (one-to-one). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

예시: I prefer chatting in a group because I enjoy hearing different perspectives and ideas. However, I also appreciate one-to-one conversations when the topic is personal.

제안: Correct the collocations (build relationships, read body language) and avoid repetition. Use one clear supporting detail with a linking word and correct plural forms.

예시: I prefer communicating face-to-face because it's easier to build relationships and read body language. For example, I attend community workshops where meeting in person helps me connect more effectively.

제안: Give a direct topic sentence and a clear reason; avoid filler words like 'uh' and vague phrases. Offer one concise example or qualification to make the answer specific.

예시: Not usually. I try to avoid arguments and prefer calm discussions; for example, if a disagreement arises, I suggest taking time to listen before responding.

× For example, we usually have a conversation on weekends about our work or hobbies.

✓ For example, we usually have conversations on weekends about our work or hobbies.

The noun 'conversation' should be plural 'conversations' because 'usually' implies a repeated action occurring on multiple weekends. Use plural to match the habitual plural meaning. Suggestion: Use plural nouns when referring to repeated or habitual events (we usually have conversations).

× For me, we usually meet each other on weekends.

✓ For me, I usually meet my friends on weekends.

The original mixes 'For me' with 'we', causing awkward subject reference. 'Meet each other' is redundant when 'we' is used. Use 'I' as the subject with 'my friends' as the object to express the speaker's habit. Suggestion: Keep subject consistent; use 'I usually meet my friends' for personal routines.

× We talk about our lives, our plan and our hobbies, which helps us get close.

✓ We talk about our lives, our plans and our hobbies, which helps us get closer.

'Plan' should be plural 'plans' to match 'our'. Also, 'get close' is non-idiomatic here; the comparative 'get closer' is correct to indicate increasing closeness. Ensure parallel structure in lists. Suggestion: Make nouns in lists agree in number and use comparative form 'closer' for developing relationships.

× I prefer catching up with a group of people because I enjoy hearing different perspectives and ideas.

✓ I prefer catching up with a group of people because I enjoy hearing different perspectives and ideas.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable. 'Prefer' can be followed by a gerund. No correction needed. Suggestion: None.

× For example, I'm involved in several community groups where we can discuss local projects or culture.

✓ For example, I'm involved in several community groups where we can discuss local projects and culture.

Using 'or' implies an exclusive choice; 'and' is more appropriate to show both topics are discussed. The article usage is fine otherwise. Suggestion: Use 'and' to link multiple topics that are both discussed.

× Actually I prefer talking to people in person because it's easier to build relationship and raise body language.

✓ Actually, I prefer talking to people in person because it's easier to build relationships and express body language.

Missing comma after 'Actually'. 'Build relationship' should be plural 'build relationships'. 'Raise body language' is incorrect collocation; use 'express body language' or 'use body language'. Suggestion: Use plural for general nouns and choose correct verbs for collocations (express/use body language).

× For example, I have joined a couple of community group where we can attend events and workshops in person which helps.

✓ For example, I have joined a couple of community groups where we can attend events and workshops in person, which helps.

'A couple of' should be followed by a plural noun 'community groups'. A comma before the non-defining clause 'which helps' improves clarity. Also ensure tense fits (present perfect 'have joined' is fine). Suggestion: Use plural after 'a couple of' and punctuate clauses correctly.

× No, not exactly, because usually I prefer to have a good conversation with my friends.

✓ No, not exactly, because I usually prefer to have good conversations with my friends.

Word order 'usually I prefer' is awkward; 'I usually prefer' is natural. 'A good conversation' should be plural 'good conversations' when speaking generally. Maintain natural adverb placement and plural form for habitual actions. Suggestion: Place adverbs like 'usually' before the main verb and use plural nouns for habitual activities.
