Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to make your answer more natural and concise. Avoid redundancy and grammatical errors. Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly. For example, start with a clear topic sentence, then explain why chatting is beneficial with specific reasons.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends because it feels like a form of therapy. It helps me relax and share different ideas, which eases my mind and strengthens our friendship.

提案: Use simpler and more natural vocabulary like 'talk' instead of 'conversate'. Provide more specific examples and use linking words to make your answer clearer and more coherent.

例: We usually talk about different topics. For example, we discuss politics, share our hobbies, and sometimes talk about recent events.

提案: Try to make your sentences clearer and avoid repetition. Use linking words like 'however' or 'but' to contrast ideas. Also, correct grammar mistakes and be more specific about your preferences.

例: It depends on the topic. For debatable subjects, I prefer chatting with a group of friends. However, for deeper or secretive topics, I prefer talking to one or just a few close friends.

提案: Your answer is good but can be more concise and natural. Use linking words like 'because' to explain your opinion clearly. Avoid repeating phrases unnecessarily.

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because it helps us understand each other better and express our ideas more clearly than social media.

提案: Clarify your meaning and avoid repetition. Use correct expressions and grammar. Provide a clear topic sentence and explain with examples or reasons.

例: I don't usually argue with my friends, but sometimes we have disagreements on certain topics, which can lead to arguments.

× Yes, I believe having a conversation with your friends so within a deep topic is really such a form of therapy because it helps to ease your minds in a lot of ways and helps you discussing different kinds of topics.

✓ Yes, I believe having a conversation with your friends on a deep topic is really a form of therapy because it helps to ease your mind in many ways and helps you discuss different kinds of topics.

The phrase 'helps you discussing' is incorrect; after 'helps you', the base form of the verb 'discuss' should be used, not the '-ing' form. Also, 'so within a deep topic' is awkward; 'on a deep topic' is the correct prepositional phrase. 'Your minds' should be singular 'your mind' to match the singular subject 'you'. These corrections improve clarity and grammatical accuracy.

× We conversate on various kinds of topics, but the main ones are about politics, sometimes our hobbies and some more.

✓ We converse on various kinds of topics, but the main ones are about politics, sometimes our hobbies, and some others.

The verb 'conversate' is nonstandard; the correct verb is 'converse'. Also, 'some more' is vague; 'some others' is clearer when referring to additional topics. These changes correct verb usage and improve clarity.

× Sometimes if you're having a conversation about debatable topics, you can. It's OK to be chatting with friends with group of friends.

✓ Sometimes if you're having a conversation about debatable topics, it's OK to chat with a group of friends.

The phrase 'be chatting with friends with group of friends' is incorrect and redundant. The correct preposition is 'with a group of friends'. Also, 'you can' is incomplete; rephrasing to 'it's OK to chat' clarifies the meaning. These corrections fix prepositional errors and improve sentence structure.

× But if it's within a deeper level and if the topic is very secretive, I do prefer only a few friends or only one friend.

✓ But if it's at a deeper level and if the topic is very secretive, I do prefer only a few friends or only one friend.

The preposition 'within' is incorrect here; 'at a deeper level' is the correct expression to indicate depth of conversation. This correction improves the naturalness and accuracy of the sentence.

× Although these days people do communicate through social media, I do believe that when communicating face to face, it helps us understand more and express our ideas more.

✓ Although these days people do communicate through social media, I do believe that when communicating face to face, it helps us understand more and express our ideas better.

The phrase 'express our ideas more' is awkward; 'express our ideas better' is more appropriate to indicate improved quality. This correction improves the adverb usage for clarity.

× I wouldn't say that I'm a good person at the meeting, but when it comes to certain certain topics, I do argue with my friends.

✓ I wouldn't say that I'm a good person at meetings, but when it comes to certain topics, I do argue with my friends.

The phrase 'at the meeting' is too specific; 'at meetings' is more general and appropriate here. Also, the repetition of 'certain' is an error and should be corrected. These changes improve clarity and correctness.
