考官
Do you like chatting with friends?
考生
Yes, I enjoy chatting with Fran because it's a good way for us to get to know more about each other and also it's a good way for us to, uh, strengthen our bond together. So for example, during the weekend, we'll always hang out to catch up on each other live.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
Usually I like to chat with friends about our recent life and any updates on our relationship. We will often also seek advice from one another on like the tiny small thing because sometimes my emotions just fracturing fraction mush and I could have really focused on myself this when I seek the advice from my friends.
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 friend because in this way I get we get to get more focus on one another and we can talk more deeply and thoroughly. But if instead if I chat with a group of people, sometimes we may ignore some other friend because just because of umm, it's too many people and we cannot really focus on too much on one another.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
Personally, I prefer to communicate face to face because I get to obsess their emotional change more deeply. For example, if my friend is upset, I will try to comfort her and beside that is is more efficient, especially if communication happen in a group because uh, if face to face, we get to sell our uh, concerned.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
Yes, I used to argue with friends before so during the time we are in the same teamwork and we have some miscommunication that's why we have some little argument. I used to argue more when I was younger but when I grow older I seems argue is not a good way and it seems childish. That's why I prefer to communicate more.
Do you like chatting with friends?
分数: 68.0建议: Be more concise and avoid hesitation. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail. Reduce repetition ("good way" twice) and fix minor grammar ("catch up live" is unclear).
示例: Yes, I do. Chatting helps me and my friend Fran deepen our friendship; for example, we usually meet on weekends to catch up in person and share what happened during the week.
What do you usually chat about with friends?
分数: 55.0建议: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific examples. Avoid unclear phrases and long hesitations; use precise vocabulary (e.g., "personal life updates", "relationship issues", "small problems").
示例: We usually talk about personal life updates and relationships. For instance, we discuss new work or study developments and ask each other for advice on small problems, especially when one of us feels stressed.
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
分数: 72.0建议: Begin with a clear preference sentence and follow with concise reasons using linking words (e.g., "because", "however"). Avoid repetition and fillers like "umm". Use cleaner phrasing ("focus on each other" not "focus on one another" twice).
示例: I prefer talking one-on-one because it allows us to focus on each other and have deeper conversations. However, in group chats some people may be left out and it's harder to discuss personal issues.
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
分数: 50.0建议: Fix word choice and grammar: replace "obsess their emotional change" with "observe their emotions" and "sell our concerned" with "show concern". Keep it concise: state preference, give one clear reason and an example. Avoid hesitations.
示例: I prefer face-to-face communication because I can observe my friends' emotions more easily. For example, if a friend looks upset in person I can comfort them immediately and show support more effectively than online.
Do you argue with friends?
分数: 60.0建议: Structure your answer: give a direct response, explain why arguments happened with a specific example, then conclude with how you handle conflicts now. Correct grammar ("when I was younger", "as I grew older").
示例: Yes, sometimes. For example, when I worked in a team we had small arguments because of misunderstandings. As I grew older I learned to resolve issues calmly and now I prefer to discuss problems directly rather than argue.
× Yes, I enjoy chatting with Fran because it's a good way for us to get to know more about each other and also it's a good way for us to, uh, strengthen our bond together.
✓ Yes, I enjoy chatting with Fran because it's a good way for us to get to know each other better and to strengthen our bond.
Use of 'get to know more about each other' is wordy and awkward; 'get to know each other better' is the natural present-tense phrase. 'Strengthen our bond together' is redundant (bond implies togetherness); simplify to 'strengthen our bond'. Also combine parallel structures with 'and to' before the second verb for clarity.
× So for example, during the weekend, we'll always hang out to catch up on each other live.
✓ For example, on weekends we always hang out to catch up with each other in person.
'During the weekend' is acceptable but 'on weekends' is more natural for habitual actions. Use present simple 'always hang out' for habitual routines rather than 'we'll'. 'Catch up on each other live' is ungrammatical; use 'catch up with each other in person'.
× Usually I like to chat with friends about our recent life and any updates on our relationship.
✓ Usually I like to chat with friends about our recent lives and any updates on our relationships.
When referring to each person's life, plural 'lives' is needed (singular and plural agreement). Similarly, if discussing relationships in general, plural 'our relationships' is more precise. Alternatively, use singular if referring to a specific relationship: 'our relationship' only when both share the same relationship.
× We will often also seek advice from one another on like the tiny small thing because sometimes my emotions just fracturing fraction mush and I could have really focused on myself this when I seek the advice from my friends.
✓ We often also seek advice from one another about small things because sometimes my emotions feel fragile and I cannot focus on myself, so I seek advice from my friends.
Several problems: 'on like the tiny small thing' is ungrammatical and redundant; use 'about small things'. 'My emotions just fracturing fraction mush' is nonsensical; likely intended 'my emotions feel fragile' or 'I feel emotionally overwhelmed'. 'I could have really focused on myself this when I seek the advice' mixes tenses and structure; use present 'I cannot focus on myself, so I seek advice' for clarity and correct tense.
× I prefer to chat with only one friend because in this way I get we get to get more focus on one another and we can talk more deeply and thoroughly.
✓ I prefer to chat with only one friend because that way we can focus more on each other and talk more deeply.
The original contains 'I get we get' which mixes pronouns; choose 'we' for mutual action. 'Get to get more focus' is awkward; use 'focus more on each other'. 'Deeply and thoroughly' is redundant; 'deeply' suffices.
× But if instead if I chat with a group of people, sometimes we may ignore some other friend because just because of umm, it's too many people and we cannot really focus on too much on one another.
✓ But if I chat with a group of people, sometimes we may ignore some friends because there are too many people and we cannot focus on any one person.
Remove redundant 'if instead if' -> 'if'. 'Ignore some other friend' should be 'ignore some friends'. 'Just because of umm, it's too many people' is ungrammatical; use 'because there are too many people'. 'We cannot really focus on too much on one another' is incorrect; use 'cannot focus on any one person'.
× Personally, I prefer to communicate face to face because I get to obsess their emotional change more deeply.
✓ Personally, I prefer to communicate face to face because I can observe their emotional changes more closely.
'Obsess' is the wrong verb; 'observe' is correct. 'Their emotional change' should be 'their emotional changes' or 'changes in their emotions'. 'More deeply' is acceptable but 'more closely' fits the context of observing.
× For example, if my friend is upset, I will try to comfort her and beside that is is more efficient, especially if communication happen in a group because uh, if face to face, we get to sell our uh, concerned.
✓ For example, if my friend is upset, I will try to comfort her, and besides, it is more effective, especially for group communication, because if we are face to face we can show our concern.
Use 'besides' not 'beside that'. Fix duplication 'is is' to 'it is'. 'Communication happen' should be 'communication happens' (subject-verb agreement). 'If face to face, we get to sell our concerned' is ungrammatical; use 'if we are face to face we can show our concern'.
× Yes, I used to argue with friends before so during the time we are in the same teamwork and we have some miscommunication that's why we have some little argument.
✓ Yes, I used to argue with friends when we were in the same team and we had some miscommunication, which is why we had small arguments.
Mix of past and present: 'used to' requires past tense for related events: 'were' and 'had'. 'Teamwork' is the wrong noun here; use 'team' or 'working on the same team'. 'Some little argument' -> 'small arguments'. Use a relative clause 'which is why' for cause.
× I used to argue more when I was younger but when I grow older I seems argue is not a good way and it seems childish.
✓ I used to argue more when I was younger, but as I grew older it seemed that arguing was not a good way and seemed childish.
'When I grow older' should be past 'as I grew older' to match 'used to'. 'I seems argue is not a good way' has subject-verb agreement and word order errors: 'it seemed that arguing was not a good way'. Match tense and use gerund 'arguing' as the subject.
× That's why I prefer to communicate more.
✓ That's why I prefer to communicate more with my friends.
The original sentence is acceptable but slightly vague; adding 'with my friends' clarifies the object of 'communicate'. No grammar error per se, but clarification improves coherence.
