Part 1
考官
Do you like chatting with friends?
考生
Yes, I really enjoy chatting with my friends because they are good listeners and make conversations feel relaxed. For example, when I feel overwhelmed or really stressed, I can't talk to them for hours and I always feel supported.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
I usually talk with my friends about personal matters and since I've experienced such as recent trips or funding situations, we also discuss our goals and things that make us happy because we like to support and share with each other.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
I prefer to chat with only one person because I'm, uh, introverted and I often feel self-conscious in large groups. In a one-on-one conversation I can relax and express my thoughts more clearly, whereas in a group I tend to be quieter and less involved.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
I prefer communicating in social media because I'm an introvert and online chatting feels less stressful than face to face conversation. When I can't see the other person's expressions, I don't feel self-conscious or awkward so I can express myself more easily. For example, I find that simpler to think and edit my messages before sending them.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
Yes, I have argued with friends once or twice. Usually we disagree because we have different viewpoints and some people are quite stubborn and find it hard to accept other opinions. For example, we once argued about politicals, but we calm down and agree to respect each other's views.
Do you like chatting with friends?
分数: 78.0建议: Be more concise and fix the contradictory phrase "can't talk to them for hours" which likely intended "can talk to them for hours." Use one clear topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details. Vary vocabulary slightly (e.g., "comforting," "empathetic").

× For example, when I feel overwhelmed or really stressed, I can't talk to them for hours and I always feel supported.
✓ For example, when I feel overwhelmed or really stressed, I can talk to them for hours and I always feel supported.
The original sentence used 'can't' which contradicts the intended meaning that friends provide support by allowing long conversations. This is a sentence structure/meaning error; changing 'can't' to 'can' corrects the intended positive meaning. Suggestion: ensure the modal verb reflects the speaker's intention and re-read for contradiction.
× I usually talk with my friends about personal matters and since I've experienced such as recent trips or funding situations, we also discuss our goals and things that make us happy because we like to support and share with each other.
✓ I usually talk with my friends about personal matters, such as recent trips or funding situations; we also discuss our goals and things that make us happy because we like to support and share with each other.
The phrase 'since I've experienced such as' is incorrect: 'since' is unnecessary and 'such as' should directly introduce examples. This is a preposition/phrase misuse. Correction removes 'since I've experienced' and uses 'such as' to give examples. Suggestion: use 'such as' directly after the general noun to introduce examples and avoid redundant 'since' here.
× I prefer communicating in social media because I'm an introvert and online chatting feels less stressful than face to face conversation.
✓ I prefer communicating on social media because I'm an introvert and online chatting feels less stressful than face-to-face conversation.
Use of preposition 'in' with 'social media' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'on social media'. Also 'face to face' used as a compound adjective before 'conversation' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face'. This is an adjective/adverb and preposition issue. Suggestion: use 'on social media' and hyphenate compound adjectives.
× When I can't see the other person's expressions, I don't feel self-conscious or awkward so I can express myself more easily.
✓ When I can't see the other person's expressions, I don't feel self-conscious or awkward, so I can express myself more easily.
Sentence is mostly correct but missing a comma before 'so' when it connects two independent clauses; this is a punctuation/structure issue related to clause joining and present participle usage is fine. Adding a comma improves readability. Suggestion: place a comma before coordinating conjunctions that join independent clauses.
× For example, I find that simpler to think and edit my messages before sending them.
✓ For example, I find it simpler to think and edit my messages before sending them.
The structure 'I find that simpler to think' is awkward; the correct object is 'it' with 'simpler to' plus the verb phrase. This is a sentence structure error. Suggestion: use 'I find it simpler to...' when commenting on the ease of an action.
× Yes, I have argued with friends once or twice.
✓ Yes, I have argued with friends once or twice.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable; present perfect 'have argued' correctly indicates past experiences. No correction required. Note: kept original.
× Usually we disagree because we have different viewpoints and some people are quite stubborn and find it hard to accept other opinions.
✓ Usually we disagree because we have different viewpoints, and some people are quite stubborn and find it hard to accept others' opinions.
The phrase 'other opinions' is acceptable but 'others' opinions' (possessive) is more natural when referring to opinions held by other people; adding a comma before 'and' improves readability. This is an adjective/pronoun use issue. Suggestion: use possessive form 'others' opinions' for clarity.
× For example, we once argued about politicals, but we calm down and agree to respect each other's views.
✓ For example, we once argued about politics, but we calmed down and agreed to respect each other's views.
The noun 'politicals' is incorrect; the correct noun is 'politics'. Also verb tenses should be consistent for a past event: 'calm' and 'agree' should be past tense 'calmed' and 'agreed'. This mixes adjective usage and past tense errors. Suggestion: use 'politics' and ensure verbs match past timeframe when describing a completed event.
