Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to use correct verb forms and more natural expressions. For example, say 'I like how she thinks about life and health' instead of 'she thinked'. Also, avoid vague phrases like 'more things' by specifying topics.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my best friend because she has interesting thoughts about life, health, and other important topics.

提案: Use correct verb forms and pronouns, and avoid filler words like 'umm' and 'uh'. Also, be more specific about the topics you discuss. For example, say 'We usually chat about our jobs and daily life.'

例: We usually chat about our jobs, daily life, and sometimes our future plans.

提案: Make your sentences clearer and more natural. Use linking words to connect ideas, for example, 'because I think they do not listen to me or consider my opinion.'

例: I prefer chatting with one friend because I feel that in a group, people might not listen carefully or value my opinion.

提案: Use the correct tense and more natural phrasing. For example, say 'I don't mind communicating face-to-face or via social media.'

例: I don't mind communicating either face-to-face or through social media; both have their advantages.

提案: Use correct sentence structure and verb forms. Avoid repetition and unclear phrases. For example, say 'Yes, we sometimes argue, whether face-to-face or on social media.'

例: Yes, we sometimes argue, both in person and on social media, but we always try to resolve our differences.

× Yes, I like chatting with my best friend because I like how she thinked about life, health and more things.

✓ Yes, I like chatting with my best friend because I like how she thinks about life, health and more things.

The verb 'thinked' is incorrect; the correct past tense of 'think' is 'thought'. However, since the sentence is about a habitual action, the present tense 'thinks' is appropriate here. Use 'thinks' to match the present tense context.

× We usually chatting about umm, we jobs and us life or, uh, more things.

✓ We usually chat about, umm, our jobs and our life or, uh, more things.

After 'usually', the base form of the verb should be used, not the '-ing' form. Also, 'we jobs' and 'us life' are incorrect; possessive pronouns 'our' should be used instead.

× I prefer to chat with one friend and I don't prefer to chat with a group of people because I am thinking they are not listening, listening to me or reading my opinion.

✓ I prefer to chat with one friend and I don't prefer to chat with a group of people because I think they are not listening to me or reading my opinion.

The phrase 'I am thinking' is incorrect here; the simple present 'I think' is appropriate for expressing opinions. Also, 'listening, listening to me' is redundant; only one 'listening to me' is needed.

× Actually, I don't mind if we communicated face to face or in social media.

✓ Actually, I don't mind if we communicate face to face or on social media.

The verb 'communicated' is past tense, but the sentence expresses a general preference, so the present tense 'communicate' is correct. Also, the preposition 'on' is more appropriate than 'in' for social media.

× Yes, we argue all the time, face to face or in social media where are chatting they are argue.

✓ Yes, we argue all the time, face to face or on social media where we chat and they argue.

The phrase 'where are chatting they are argue' is ungrammatical. It should be 'where we chat and they argue' to use correct subject-verb agreement and verb forms. Also, 'on social media' is the correct preposition.
