提案: Your answer contains many hesitations and lacks fluency. Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and organise your ideas clearly with linking words. Also, be more specific and concise in your examples.

例: We usually chat about various topics, such as movies we've watched, delicious foods we've tried, and interesting places we've visited.

提案: Your answer is understandable but contains repetition and some awkward phrasing. Try to avoid repeating words and improve sentence structure for clarity and naturalness.

例: Actually, I prefer chatting with just one friend because it allows for deeper communication, which is easier to achieve face-to-face.

提案: Your answer is clear but has some repetition and minor grammatical errors. Try to avoid repeating phrases and use smoother linking words to improve coherence.

例: I prefer communicating face-to-face with my friends; however, when that's not possible, social media serves as a good alternative.

提案: Your answer has many hesitations and unclear phrasing. Try to speak more fluently, avoid filler words, and provide a clear, complete response with specific examples.

例: Yes, we sometimes argue because it's natural for people to have different opinions, such as when deciding what to do or where to go.

× Well, there are numerous topics that we, uh, talk about such as, uh, movies we were, uh, watched, uh, good, uh, delicious foods, uh, we uh, have eaten and a good places we have gone. So, uh.

✓ Well, there are numerous topics that we talk about such as movies we have watched, good delicious foods we have eaten and good places we have gone.

The phrase 'movies we were watched' is incorrect because 'were watched' is a passive past tense form that does not fit here. The correct form is the present perfect 'have watched' to indicate experiences up to now. Similarly, 'a good places' is incorrect because 'places' is plural and should not have the singular article 'a'. Also, 'a good places' should be 'good places' without 'a'. The sentence needed correction to use the present perfect tense and correct article usage.

× a good places we have gone

✓ good places we have gone

The phrase 'a good places' is incorrect because 'a' is a singular article and 'places' is plural. The article 'a' should be removed to correctly modify the plural noun 'places'.

× In fact, in fact, I prefer a talk chat with only one friend because it's important for me to have deep communication and is better to achieve that by face to face with only one friend.

✓ In fact, I prefer to chat with only one friend because it's important for me to have deep communication and it is better to achieve that face to face with only one friend.

The phrase 'a talk chat' is incorrect; 'chat' is a verb and does not need 'a talk' before it. Also, 'is better to achieve that by face to face' is missing the subject 'it' and the preposition 'by' is unnecessary before 'face to face'. The corrected sentence uses 'prefer to chat' and 'it is better to achieve that face to face' for grammatical correctness.

× and is better to achieve that by face to face with only one friend.

✓ and it is better to achieve that face to face with only one friend.

The phrase 'by face to face' is incorrect because 'face to face' is an adverbial phrase that does not require the preposition 'by'. The correct form is simply 'achieve that face to face'.

× So on social media is a good is a good alternative.

✓ So, social media is a good alternative.

The phrase 'So on social media is a good is a good alternative' is awkward and contains repetition. The preposition 'on' is unnecessary here; 'social media' is the subject. The corrected sentence removes 'on' and the repeated phrase for clarity.

× Definitely we have arguments before because there it is impossible for two different people to always, always hold the same view.

✓ Definitely, we have had arguments before because it is impossible for two different people to always hold the same view.

The original sentence has awkward structure and redundancy. 'Arguments before' should be 'have had arguments before' to use present perfect tense indicating past experiences. The phrase 'there it is impossible' is incorrect; 'there' is unnecessary. The corrected sentence improves clarity and grammatical correctness.

× So, uh, they, uh, we used to, uh, argue about what it or which.

✓ So, we used to argue about what or which.

The phrase 'they, uh, we' is confusing and incorrect pronoun usage. The sentence should consistently use 'we' as the subject. Also, 'argue about what it or which' is unclear; 'it' is unnecessary. The corrected sentence removes unnecessary pronouns and clarifies the object of argument.
