Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant, but there are some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. Try to use correct plural forms and more natural expressions. Also, avoid redundancy by combining similar ideas. For example, instead of repeating 'deep conversation,' you can use synonyms or pronouns. Use linking words to improve coherence.

例: I don't enjoy casual chatting with my friends because it often leads to gossip, which leaves me feeling uneasy. Instead, I prefer deep conversations that stimulate the mind and are beneficial for my brain health.

提案: Your answer is somewhat unclear and contains grammatical mistakes. The last part 'and family this creates' is confusing. Make sure your sentences are complete and clear. Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly. Also, provide specific examples or reasons to enrich your answer.

例: I usually discuss topics like economics and geopolitics with my friends. On a lighter note, we also talk about health and family matters, which helps us connect on a personal level.

提案: Your answer is good but contains minor grammatical errors such as 'more focus' instead of 'more focused.' Try to use linking words to explain your preference more clearly and add a specific example to support your point.

例: I prefer chatting one-on-one because it allows me to focus more on the conversation and connect in a meaningful way. For instance, when I talk to a single friend, I can give my full attention and understand their feelings better.

提案: Your answer covers both options well, but there are grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, such as 'and responded.' Use correct verb forms and clearer expressions. Also, use linking words to contrast the two modes of communication effectively.

例: I prefer both methods of communication. Social media allows me to take time to think before responding, whereas face-to-face conversations feel more natural and spontaneous because I can see gestures and react immediately.

提案: Your answer is clear but could be improved by correcting singular/plural agreement ('my friend' vs. 'my friends') and by using linking words to contrast your ideas smoothly. Adding a brief example would also strengthen your response.

例: I usually avoid arguing with my friends because I value respectful discussions. However, sometimes I have heated exchanges with them when I strongly believe in my opinions, such as during debates about current events.

× I prefer to have deep conversation that are more mentally stimulating.

✓ I prefer to have deep conversations that are more mentally stimulating.

The noun 'conversation' should be plural 'conversations' to agree with the plural verb 'are'. When referring to multiple instances, use the plural form.

× When I tend to chat with my friends, we end up gossiping and then afterwards I don't feel too good.

✓ When I tend to chat with my friends, we end up gossiping and afterwards I don't feel too good.

The phrase 'and then afterwards' is redundant. 'Afterwards' alone is sufficient to indicate the sequence of events.

× This is why I prefer to have deep conversation because it stipulates the mind and is healthy for the brain.

✓ This is why I prefer to have deep conversations because they stimulate the mind and are healthy for the brain.

'Conversation' should be plural 'conversations' to match the plural subject. Also, 'stipulates' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'stimulate'. The pronouns 'it' and 'is' should be plural 'they' and 'are' to agree with 'conversations'.

× Since I prefer to have deep conversations, my conversations with my friends are generally about economics, geopolitics, and, on a lighter end, health and family this creates.

✓ Since I prefer to have deep conversations, my conversations with my friends are generally about economics, geopolitics, and, on a lighter note, health and family topics.

The phrase 'on a lighter end' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'on a lighter note'. Also, the sentence ends abruptly with 'family this creates' which is incomplete and unclear. It should be rephrased for clarity.

× I prefer chatting one-on-one because it allows me to be more focus on the conversation and connect in a more meaningful way.

✓ I prefer chatting one-on-one because it allows me to be more focused on the conversation and connect in a more meaningful way.

The adjective 'focused' is needed here instead of the base form 'focus' to correctly describe the state of the subject.

× Sometimes social media is helpful in communication because it allows me to digest and think about my response, and other times face to face communication feels more natural and real because it's off the cuff and I can see the gestures and responded.

✓ Sometimes social media is helpful in communication because it allows me to digest and think about my response, and other times face-to-face communication feels more natural and real because it's off the cuff and I can see the gestures and respond.

The phrase 'face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face' when used as an adjective. Also, 'responded' is incorrect here; the base form 'respond' is needed after 'can' (modal verb).

× However, I do have heated exchanges with my friend because I passionately believe in my opinions.

✓ However, I do have heated exchanges with my friends because I passionately believe in my opinions.

The plural 'friends' is more appropriate here to match 'heated exchanges' which implies multiple interactions with more than one friend.
