Chatting— Part 1 Report
Conversation
Part 1
Examiner
Do you like chatting with friends?
Candidate
Uh, yes, I love chatting with my friends, so much so that whenever I see my friends in the hallway at school, I immediately run over to her or him and start up a conversation. Umm. It really enlightens me because I get to know how my friends are feeling and what they're up to, and it makes me feel connected with them.
Examiner
What do you usually chat about with friends?
Candidate
I usually talk to them about the latest assignments that are due or if they're my clubmates, I talk to them about my chorus club and the recent songs we're practicing. Umm, it's not a very meaningful or important conversation, but yes.
Examiner
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
Candidate
I prefer talking face to face with one friend. This is because I'm really bad at. Starting up a conversation when it's when I'm talking in a group of people and I don't really know where I fit in so I'm more comfortable talking to one person.
Examiner
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
Candidate
I definitely prefer talking face to face. I think one of the demerits of social media is that conversations are intermittent and we sometimes, umm, end a conversation midway and I really hate that. So I like face to face natural communication.
Examiner
Do you argue with friends?
Candidate
I can say that I almost never argue with my friends. This is because I usually think about what I say before I put them into words. And this helps me neutralize the conversation when it's, especially when it's going a little bit sour. So that's how yeah, I say.

What do you usually chat about with friends?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: "Umm"のようなフィラーは避け、答えをもっと自信を持って述べましょう。また、"not a very meaningful or important conversation"はネガティブに聞こえるので、代わりに会話の内容を具体的に説明すると良いです。

Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 文が途切れている部分（"I'm really bad at. Starting up a conversation"）を直し、文をつなげて話す練習をしましょう。また、理由をもう少し詳しく説明すると良いです。
Example: I prefer talking face to face with one friend because I find it difficult to start conversations in groups. I often feel unsure about my role in a group, so one-on-one talks are more comfortable for me.
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: "umm"のようなフィラーを減らし、"demerits"よりも"disadvantages"や"drawbacks"の方が自然です。理由をもう少し具体的に述べると良いです。
Example: I definitely prefer face-to-face communication because social media conversations can be interrupted or end suddenly, which feels unsatisfying. Face-to-face talks are more natural and engaging.
Do you argue with friends?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: "So that's how yeah, I say"は不自然なので避けましょう。文をつなげて、理由をもっと明確に説明すると良いです。
Example: I almost never argue with my friends because I think carefully before I speak. This helps me keep the conversation calm, especially when it starts to become tense.
Grammar
× I immediately run over to her or him and start up a conversation.
✓ I immediately run over to them and start up a conversation.
The pronouns 'her or him' are incorrect here because the antecedent 'my friends' is plural. The correct pronoun to refer to multiple people is 'them'. Using 'them' maintains agreement in number and is more natural in English.
× This is because I'm really bad at. Starting up a conversation when it's when I'm talking in a group of people and I don't really know where I fit in so I'm more comfortable talking to one person.
✓ This is because I'm really bad at starting up a conversation when I'm talking in a group of people and I don't really know where I fit in, so I'm more comfortable talking to one person.
The original sentence has a misplaced period after 'at' which breaks the sentence unnaturally. Also, the phrase 'when it's when I'm talking' is redundant. Removing the period and the extra 'when it's' corrects the sentence structure and improves clarity.
