Part 1
考官
Do you like chatting with friends?
考生
No, not really. I'm not an extrovert, I'm not a talkative person, but sometimes I need to do it because I understand the importance of small talk and getting to know each other.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
It depends how close I am with the one I'm chatting with, if it's the one that I'm really close with. Anything really, from political issues to religions, genocides and things like things like that. If it's stranger or colleagues I just met then it's probably the weather.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
I think 1 friend is better because we can have a deeper conversation, we can just chat with anything we want. Whereas in a group discussion sometimes with two to three people is fine, but if they are more than that then the groups start to segregate like in a breakdown into smaller groups.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
It depends. If it's not something that important and would prefer to be through social media because it's really convenient, people can receive your message instantly. For example, my girlfriend and I were in a long distance relationship. But it's also important to like, you know, maybe once or twice a year that I go there and see her face to face.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
I do a lot but it has to be within reasons anything. If we agree with each other with reasons in a polite manner, it shows how strong the relationship is. That means we comfortable and saying what's in our mind to that person.
Do you like chatting with friends?
分数: 78.0建议: Be more concise and start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific reason or brief example. Avoid repeating similar ideas (e.g., 'not an extrovert' and 'not a talkative person'). Use a linking word to connect reason.
示例: Not really. I’m more introverted, but I chat occasionally because small talk helps build relationships — for example, I often use short conversations to get to know new classmates.
What do you usually chat about with friends?
分数: 70.0建议: Organize your answer: give a clear topic sentence, then two contrasting examples linked with a connector. Avoid overly sensitive or extreme examples (e.g., 'genocides') unless you briefly explain context. Reduce repetition and correct small grammar issues.
示例: It depends on how close we are. If I’m close to someone, we discuss serious topics like politics or current events; however, with acquaintances I usually stick to safe small talk, such as the weather or weekend plans.
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
分数: 82.0建议: Good structure and clear preference. Improve fluency by tightening sentences and using clearer linking words. Avoid awkward phrasing like 'start to segregate' — use 'break up into smaller groups.'
示例: I prefer talking one-on-one because we can have deeper conversations. In small groups of two or three it’s okay, but larger groups often break up into subgroups, which makes meaningful discussion harder.
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
分数: 80.0建议: Clarify and tighten the response: state preference depending on situation, give one clear example, avoid filler words ('like, you know'). Correct minor grammar (e.g., 'if it's not important I would prefer').
示例: It depends on the situation: for everyday, unimportant matters I prefer social media because it’s quick and convenient — for example, my girlfriend and I text daily while in a long-distance relationship. However, I also visit her once or twice a year to meet face-to-face.
Do you argue with friends?
分数: 68.0建议: Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you argue and why. Use linking words and correct grammar (e.g., 'I argue sometimes, but only for good reasons'). Clarify points and give a concise example showing constructive argumentation.
示例: I sometimes argue with friends, but only when it’s constructive. For instance, we debate ideas politely to resolve disagreements, which helps strengthen our friendship because we feel comfortable saying what’s on our minds.
× No, not really. I'm not an extrovert, I'm not a talkative person, but sometimes I need to do it because I understand the importance of small talk and getting to know each other.
✓ No, not really. I'm not an extrovert and I'm not a talkative person, but sometimes I need to do it because I understand the importance of small talk and getting to know people.
The reflexive phrase 'each other' is used for mutual actions between two specific people; here the student refers generally to meeting people, so 'getting to know people' is correct. Also replace the second 'I'm' connector with 'and' for smoother sentence flow. Grammar problem type ID: 12.
× It depends how close I am with the one I'm chatting with, if it's the one that I'm really close with.
✓ It depends on how close I am to the person I'm chatting with, especially if it's someone I'm really close to.
Use 'depend on' rather than 'depends how', and use 'close to' rather than 'close with'. 'The one' is awkward; 'the person' or 'someone' is more natural. Also avoid repeating 'with'. Grammar problem type ID: 11.
× Anything really, from political issues to religions, genocides and things like things like that.
✓ Anything, really, from political issues to religion, genocide and similar topics.
Redundant phrase 'things like things like that' should be corrected to 'similar topics'. Use singular 'religion' and 'genocide' when listing topics in general. Commas and modifier placement improved for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 13.
× If it's stranger or colleagues I just met then it's probably the weather.
✓ If it's a stranger or colleagues I just met, then we probably talk about the weather.
Missing article before 'stranger' and subject mismatch: 'it' is unclear. Use 'we' and 'talk about' to express the action. Also plural 'colleagues' requires correct verb form and comma placement. Grammar problem type ID: 12.
× I think 1 friend is better because we can have a deeper conversation, we can just chat with anything we want.
✓ I think one friend is better because we can have a deeper conversation; we can just talk about anything we want.
Use 'one' instead of numeral in speech transcript. 'Chat with anything' is incorrect collocation — use 'talk about anything'. Also combine clauses with appropriate punctuation. Grammar problem type ID: 1.
× Whereas in a group discussion sometimes with two to three people is fine, but if they are more than that then the groups start to segregate like in a breakdown into smaller groups.
✓ In a group discussion, having two or three people is fine, but if there are more, the group tends to split into smaller subgroups.
Original sentence has awkward structure and redundancy ('segregate like in a breakdown'). Use 'having two or three people' and 'split into smaller subgroups' for clarity and natural phrasing. Subject-verb agreement improved. Grammar problem type ID: 26.
× It depends. If it's not something that important and would prefer to be through social media because it's really convenient, people can receive your message instantly.
✓ It depends. If it's not something that important, I would prefer it to be through social media because it's really convenient; people can receive messages instantly.
Missing subject 'I' before 'would prefer' and incorrect construction 'prefer to be through'. Use 'prefer it to be through' or 'prefer to use social media'. Also add comma and adjust 'your message' to 'messages' for generality. Grammar problem type ID: 11.
× For example, my girlfriend and I were in a long distance relationship.
✓ For example, my girlfriend and I were in a long-distance relationship.
Hyphenate 'long-distance' when used as a compound adjective before 'relationship'. The past tense 'were' is acceptable if relationship is over; if ongoing, use 'are'. This fixes punctuation/usage rather than tense. Grammar problem type ID: 5.
× But it's also important to like, you know, maybe once or twice a year that I go there and see her face to face.
✓ But it's also important to, you know, go there and see her face to face maybe once or twice a year.
Reorder clause to place frequency adverb 'maybe once or twice a year' in a natural position. Remove filler 'like' or keep 'you know' sparingly. Maintain present tense 'go' for repeated action. Grammar problem type ID: 6.
× I do a lot but it has to be within reasons anything.
✓ I argue a lot, but it has to be for good reasons.
Original is ungrammatical and unclear ('within reasons anything'). Rephrase to convey that arguments occur frequently but should be reasonable: 'for good reasons'. Grammar problem type ID: 26.
× If we agree with each other with reasons in a polite manner, it shows how strong the relationship is.
✓ If we disagree with each other but give reasons politely, it shows how strong the relationship is.
The intended meaning is likely that polite disagreement with reasons demonstrates strength; 'agree with each other with reasons' is contradictory. Use 'disagree... but give reasons politely' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 16.
× That means we comfortable and saying what's in our mind to that person.
✓ That means we are comfortable and say what's on our minds to that person.
Original lacks auxiliary 'are' and uses incorrect verb forms. Use 'are comfortable' and 'say' (simple present) and correct phrase 'what's on our minds'. Grammar problem type ID: 23
