Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and use more natural expressions. Also, use clearer vocabulary such as 'exchange information' instead of 'transform information'. Keep your answer concise and directly related to the question.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends because we exchange information, check on each other, and plan our upcoming holidays together.

提案: Reduce the use of filler words and try to provide more specific examples. Use linking words like 'and' or 'also' to connect ideas smoothly.

例: I usually chat with my friends about our studies and projects, especially final projects we need to prepare. We also discuss the latest technological trends.

提案: Work on sentence structure and clarity. Use linking words like 'because' properly and avoid incomplete sentences. Be more precise in your explanation.

例: I prefer chatting with one friend rather than a large group because the discussion is more efficient and focused.

提案: Avoid filler words and try to express your ideas more clearly and naturally. Use linking words like 'because' to explain your preference smoothly.

例: Personally, I prefer communicating with my friends via social media because I am not a person who likes to go out often, so it's easier for me to chat from home.

提案: Improve grammar and clarity. Use correct verb forms and clearer expressions. Explain your ideas with more precise vocabulary and structure.

例: Yes, I do argue with my friends sometimes because arguing helps us understand the topic better and makes our opinions more realistic instead of ignoring important points.

× Yes, I do like chatting with my friends because we transform, uh, information and ask after each other as well as we prepare, uh, for our next holidays and our, uh, next, uh, movement.

✓ Yes, I do like chatting with my friends because we exchange information and ask after each other as well as prepare for our next holidays and our next plans.

The verb 'transform' is incorrectly used here; the correct verb is 'exchange' when talking about sharing information. Also, 'movement' is unclear and should be replaced with 'plans' to fit the context. The present participle 'chatting' is correct here as it follows 'do like'.

× I usually chat with my friends about, uh, study and our projects, especially, uh, the final projects, uh, that we have to prepare for as well as we chat about the latest, uh, technological trends and that's it.

✓ I usually chat with my friends about our studies and projects, especially the final projects that we have to prepare, as well as the latest technological trends, and that's it.

The phrase 'about study' is incorrect; it should be 'about our studies' to indicate the subject. Also, 'prepare for' is better as 'prepare' in this context. The sentence is improved by removing unnecessary fillers and correcting preposition use.

× Actually, I am not into a group of people because I just some small group of friends. So I prefer to chat with one friend rather than a lot of friends because the discussion at that time will be very efficient.

✓ Actually, I am not into groups of people because I just have a small group of friends. So I prefer to chat with one friend rather than many friends because the discussion at that time will be very efficient.

The phrase 'I just some small group' is missing a verb and has singular/plural inconsistency. It should be 'I just have a small group'. Also, 'a group of people' should be plural 'groups' to match the meaning. 'A lot of friends' is better as 'many friends' for formal correctness.

× Uh, personally, I prefer to chat with my friends and communicate with them via social media, uh, because I am not uh, a hangout person. So I prefer to communicate uh, from home because it is easy for me.

✓ Uh, personally, I prefer to chat with my friends and communicate with them through social media because I am not a hangout person. So I prefer to communicate from home because it is easy for me.

The preposition 'via' is acceptable but 'through' is more natural in this context. Also, removing unnecessary fillers improves clarity. The phrase 'communicate from home' is correct.

× Yes, of course everyone argue with his friends because when we argue about something we make the topic more efficient and more realistic than we just take it funny and take it for granted.

✓ Yes, of course everyone argues with their friends because when we argue about something, we make the topic more effective and more realistic rather than just taking it lightly and for granted.

The verb 'argue' must agree with the singular subject 'everyone', so it should be 'argues'. Also, 'his friends' is better as 'their friends' for gender neutrality. 'More efficient' is incorrect here; 'more effective' fits better. 'Take it funny' is incorrect; 'taking it lightly' is the correct expression.
