Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is generally good but could be more natural and concise. Avoid redundancy such as repeating 'chatting with friends' and ensure correct grammar, e.g., 'helps' instead of 'help'. Also, clarify phrases like 'delicate experience' to more common expressions. Try to keep your answer within 5 sentences for better effectiveness.

例: Yes, I really enjoy chatting with my friends because it helps us share our feelings and relax after a busy day. These conversations also strengthen our friendship. For instance, we often support each other when facing challenges, which brings us closer.

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant but could be improved by removing unnecessary words like 'about' after 'discuss'. Also, try to use linking words to connect ideas smoothly, such as 'and' or 'which'. Adding a bit more detail or personal opinion would enrich your response.

例: I usually chat with my friends about our daily lives and future plans. We also discuss politics, games, and films, which helps us understand each other's opinions better. For example, talking about movies often leads to interesting debates about different actors.

提案: Your answer is good but incomplete at the end and slightly informal with 'without a second thought'. Try to complete your sentences fully and use more natural expressions like 'I prefer chatting with either a group or one close friend, depending on the situation.' Also, avoid abrupt endings and ensure clarity.

例: I prefer chatting with either a group of people or just one close friend, depending on the situation. For example, when I'm stressed, I talk to my best friend because it's more personal. But when I want to relax and have fun, I enjoy chatting with a group.

提案: Your answer starts well but ends abruptly and has some grammatical errors, such as missing possessive apostrophes and incomplete sentences. Try to finish your thoughts fully and use correct grammar, for example, 'other people's feelings and expressions'. Also, avoid incomplete sentences and clarify your points.

例: I usually prefer to communicate face-to-face because it helps me understand other people's feelings and expressions more clearly. For instance, in person I can see body language and hear tone of voice, which makes conversations more meaningful. However, communicating via social media can sometimes be confusing since you can't always interpret emotions accurately.

提案: Your answer has some unclear phrases like 'You with friends?' and 'very instant or passionate'. Try to use clearer and more natural expressions. For example, say 'Do you argue with friends?' and 'when conversations become heated or passionate'. Also, avoid starting with a question that repeats the examiner's question. Make your answer direct and clear.

例: No, I don't usually argue with my friends. However, sometimes when conversations become heated, I express my opinion clearly to ensure my feelings are understood. This helps us understand each other better.

✓ Definitely, I enjoy chatting with my friends because it gives us a chance to share our feelings and opinions, which help us relax and unwind after a busy day.

The phrase 'Chatting with Friends Definitely' is awkward and incorrectly structured. 'Definitely' should be used as an adverb to modify the verb phrase, not as a noun phrase. Removing 'Chatting with Friends' at the start clarifies the sentence and improves flow.

× ...which help us relax and unwind after a busy day.

✓ ...which helps us relax and unwind after a busy day.

The relative pronoun 'which' refers to 'sharing our feelings and opinions' as a singular idea, so the verb should be singular 'helps' to agree with the singular subject.

× For example, we often talk about our delicate experience or support to each other when facing challenges which will bring us closer.

✓ For example, we often talk about our delicate experiences or support each other when facing challenges, which brings us closer.

The phrase 'support to each other' is incorrect; the verb 'support' does not require the preposition 'to' in this context. Also, 'delicate experience' should be plural 'experiences' to match the context. Additionally, a comma is needed before 'which' and the verb should be singular 'brings' to agree with the singular subject 'which' refers to.

× We also discuss about politics, games and films, which gives us a chance to understand each other's opinions better.

✓ We also discuss politics, games and films, which gives us a chance to understand each other's opinions better.

The verb 'discuss' does not require the preposition 'about'. Using 'discuss about' is incorrect; simply 'discuss' is sufficient.

× However, when I just want to relax and have fun, I enjoy chatting with a group of.

✓ However, when I just want to relax and have fun, I enjoy chatting with a group of people.

The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly with 'a group of'. The phrase should be completed as 'a group of people' to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful.

× Usually I prefer to communicate face to face because it helps me understand other peoples feelings and expression more clearly.

✓ Usually I prefer to communicate face-to-face because it helps me understand other people's feelings and expressions more clearly.

The phrase 'face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face' when used as an adjective or adverb. Also, 'peoples' is incorrect; the possessive form 'people's' is needed. 'Expression' should be plural 'expressions' to match 'feelings'.

× On the other hand, communicating via social media and can sometimes be confusing since you can't always.

✓ On the other hand, communicating via social media can sometimes be confusing since you can't always see the full context.

The sentence is incomplete and contains an unnecessary 'and'. It should be restructured to remove 'and' and complete the thought for clarity.

× You with friends?

✓ Do you argue with friends?

The sentence is incomplete and lacks a verb, making it unclear. It should be corrected to a full question with a verb to make sense.

× However, sometimes when a conversation becomes very instant or passionate, I feel the need to express my opinion clearly to make sure my feelings are understood.

✓ However, sometimes when a conversation becomes very intense or passionate, I feel the need to express my opinion clearly to make sure my feelings are understood.

The adjective 'instant' is incorrect in this context; the correct word is 'intense' to describe the nature of the conversation.
