聊天— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Make the answer more concise and natural by using one clear topic sentence then one or two supporting reasons with linking words. Avoid repeating phrases like “But” at the start of sentences and reduce redundancy (e.g. “face to face” repeated).

範例: I prefer talking to friends face-to-face because it feels more personal and I can read body language. However, I do use online chat when something urgent comes up or when we need to plan details quickly.

建議: Give specific examples and finish your ideas. Use linking words to structure the response (for instance, “mainly…, but also…”). Avoid vague endings and correct small grammar issues (e.g. “relationships drama” → “relationship drama”).

範例: Mainly we talk about everyday life and work—for example, I might tell them about a project at work. We also discuss relationship drama sometimes, and occasionally we talk about current events or trending news if something important happens.

建議: Clarify and correct grammar and phrasing. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons using linking words (for example, “because” and “so”). Avoid informal fragments and repetition.

範例: I prefer group chats because the conversation is shared and I don't feel pressured to speak all the time. For instance, in a group chat others can jump in, so I can relax and still enjoy the discussion.

建議: Be more precise and avoid repetition. Use linking words (“so,” “because”) to explain reasons clearly and correct small phrases (e.g. “return of voice” → “tone of voice”).

範例: I prefer face-to-face communication because I can hear tone of voice and see body language, which helps during heated discussions. I usually use social media for practical matters like planning events or sharing information.

建議: This answer is clear but can be tightened and made more natural. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then give a brief reason and an example. Use singular/plural agreement (e.g. “perspectives”) and avoid absolute words like “totally” if you want to sound balanced.

範例: I don't argue with friends as much anymore because many people are unwilling to consider other perspectives. For example, if a discussion becomes repetitive and unproductive, I usually change the subject or walk away to keep the relationship calm.

× No, I don't like to chat with friends online.

✓ No, I don't like chatting with friends online.

When referring to general preferences after 'like', the gerund (verb + -ing) is commonly used (like + doing). Using the infinitive 'to chat' is not strictly wrong, but 'like chatting' is more natural and consistent with speaking about habits and preferences.

× I prefer face to face interactions.

✓ I prefer face-to-face interactions.

When used as a compound adjective before a noun, 'face-to-face' should be hyphenated. Hyphenation functions like an article/adjective formatting rule; without hyphens it looks awkward. Keep the plural 'interactions' because multiple interactions are implied.

× But I do use chatting sometimes if there is something absolutely necessary or there is something that we should discuss.

✓ But I do chat sometimes if there is something absolutely necessary or something we should discuss.

Use the base verb 'chat' with auxiliary 'do' for emphasis ('do chat'), not 'use chatting'. 'Use' + gerund means employing a tool or method; here the student means they chat, so 'do chat' is appropriate. Also simplify 'there is something that we should discuss' to 'something we should discuss'.

× But other than that, face to face communication is way better.

✓ But other than that, face-to-face communication is much better.

Replace informal 'way better' with 'much better' for clearer comparative language and hyphenate 'face-to-face' as a compound modifier. This fixes register and adjective use.

× My friends and I usually chat about different things regarding our lives and our work lives.

✓ My friends and I usually chat about different things related to our personal lives and work lives.

Use 'related to' instead of 'regarding' for natural phrasing and specify 'personal lives' to contrast with 'work lives'. This improves clarity and sentence structure.

× Also we chat about our relationships drama.

✓ Also we chat about relationship drama.

'Relationships drama' is incorrect noun phrase order and the plural possessive is unnecessary. Use 'relationship drama' (uncountable) to refer to drama involving relationships.

× But we can widen the perspective a little bit and talk about the political events or any trending event that's that's going on, especially if it's very.

✓ But we can broaden our perspective a little and talk about political events or any trending events that are going on, especially if they are very important.

Correct 'widen the perspective' to 'broaden our perspective' and remove repeated 'that's'. Use plural 'events' to match 'political events' and finish the sentence with an adjective and noun ('very important') to complete the thought.

× I prefer to chat with a group of people that way it take off the weight of holding the conversation off my shoulder.

✓ I prefer to chat with a group of people; that way it takes off the weight of holding the conversation off my shoulders.

Add a semicolon or conjunction to join two clauses. 'It take' should be 'it takes' for subject-verb agreement. Use plural 'shoulders' for the idiom 'off my shoulders.'

× Like discussing things with group chatting doesn't require me to talk all the time.

✓ For example, group chats don't require me to talk all the time.

'Like discussing things with group chatting' is ungrammatical. Replace with 'For example, group chats' (noun) and use the plural 'group chats' for general situations; 'don't require' agrees with plural subject.

× But if you and only your friends, we usually have to keep the conversation going and I have to keep talking and it's very energy demanding and it's not the most healthy.

✓ But if it's just you and one friend, we usually have to keep the conversation going, and I have to keep talking; it's very energy-demanding and not very healthy.

Original sentence has unclear pronoun reference. Clarify 'you and only your friends' to 'just you and one friend' or 'only you and a friend.' Use 'energy-demanding' as a compound adjective and 'not very healthy' for natural phrasing. Punctuation helps readability.

× I prefer to communicate face to face, especially if we are having a heated argument.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face, especially if we are having a heated argument.

This sentence is acceptable. The present continuous 'are having' correctly describes an ongoing event. Keep 'face-to-face' hyphenated if used as adjective, but sentence is grammatically correct; hyphenation optional in predicate position.

× That way I can listen to the return of voice, their body language.

✓ That way I can hear the tone of voice and see their body language.

'Return of voice' is incorrect and unclear. Use 'tone of voice' or 'the way they say things' and include 'see' for body language to parallel verbs. This corrects word choice and parallelism.

× But I keep social media for important things or for planning things.

✓ But I use social media for important things or for planning.

'Keep social media' is unnatural; use 'use social media' to indicate purpose. Also drop the second 'things' for conciseness: 'for planning.'

× But for important conversation I prefer to keep it face to face.

✓ But for important conversations I prefer to have them face to face.

Use plural 'conversations' when speaking generally and restructure to 'have them face to face' for natural English. Hyphenate 'face-to-face' when used as adjective.

× Now I no longer argue with friends the way I used to, because people nowadays stick firmly to their opinion and don't consider alternative perspective.

✓ Now I no longer argue with friends the way I used to, because people nowadays stick firmly to their opinions and don't consider alternative perspectives.

Use plural 'opinions' and 'perspectives' to match general reference. Present tense 'stick' is correct; just correct noun number agreement.

× So whenever I feel like the argument is going nowhere and is pointless, I totally avoid it and prefer to talk about something else.

✓ So whenever I feel the argument is going nowhere and is pointless, I avoid it completely and prefer to talk about something else.

Reorder slightly for natural flow: 'I avoid it completely' is more idiomatic than 'I totally avoid it.' Remove 'like' after 'feel' for conciseness. The meaning and tense are appropriate.
