Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to avoid redundancy and improve sentence structure for clarity. For example, instead of saying 'I will bond get stronger', say 'our bond becomes stronger'. Also, keep your answer concise and natural within 5 sentences.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends because it helps me understand them better. Our bond becomes stronger as we share experiences and insights, which makes our friendship more meaningful.

提案: Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly and avoid starting sentences with 'And'. Also, be more specific about the topics to enrich your answer.

例: I usually chat with my friends about our daily experiences and sometimes we joke to lighten the mood. Moreover, we often discuss our future plans, such as our careers and where we see ourselves in 10 or 20 years.

提案: Improve grammar by using correct plural forms and articles. Also, use linking words like 'on the other hand' to contrast ideas clearly.

例: I believe that these two types of chats have different benefits. Chatting with a group of people allows you to bounce ideas off each other, making the conversation more enjoyable. On the other hand, chatting with only one friend helps you understand them better and build a deeper connection.

提案: Avoid filler words like 'Sorry' and correct awkward phrases such as 'bring up a lot of understanding misunderstandings'. Use clearer expressions and linking words for coherence.

例: I prefer to communicate face-to-face because it allows me to observe body language and understand the person better. In contrast, communicating through social media can often lead to misunderstandings due to lack of non-verbal cues.

提案: Avoid repeating 'I believe' and improve sentence flow by using linking words like 'however' or 'although'. Also, correct grammar such as 'bring us as friends together' to 'bring us closer as friends'.

例: Yes, I do argue with friends. Although arguments are common and inevitable, they can be beneficial because they bring us closer as friends and strengthen our bonds.

× I believe that these two type of chats have different benefits.

✓ I believe that these two types of chats have different benefits.

The noun 'type' should be plural 'types' to agree with the plural determiner 'two'. In English, when referring to more than one item, the noun must be plural. So, 'two type' is incorrect; it should be 'two types'. This is a common singular and plural agreement issue.

× I will bond get stronger because we exchange our own experiences and insights.

✓ Our bond will get stronger because we exchange our own experiences and insights.

The phrase 'I will bond get stronger' is incorrect. The noun 'bond' should be used with the verb 'will get stronger' to indicate the strengthening of the relationship. The original sentence incorrectly uses 'bond' as a verb and misplaces 'get'. Correcting it to 'Our bond will get stronger' clarifies the meaning and uses proper verb and noun forms.

× I prefer to communicate face to face.

✓ I prefer to communicate face-to-face.

The phrase 'face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face' when used as an adverb or adjective. This is a fixed expression in English. Using the hyphen clarifies that it is a compound modifier describing the manner of communication.

× This is because when chatting to a person in person, you can observe their body language and you can understand them better.

✓ This is because when chatting with a person in person, you can observe their body language and you can understand them better.

The verb 'chat' is commonly followed by the preposition 'with' rather than 'to' when referring to conversing with someone. Using 'chat with' is the correct collocation in English.

× On the other hand, communicating through social media can bring up a lot of understanding misunderstandings.

✓ On the other hand, communicating through social media can bring up a lot of misunderstandings.

The phrase 'understanding misunderstandings' is incorrect and redundant. The correct phrase is simply 'misunderstandings'. The word 'understanding' before 'misunderstandings' is unnecessary and causes confusion.

× But I believe that arguments are beneficial and they bring us as friends together and it strengthens our bonds.

✓ But I believe that arguments are beneficial; they bring us as friends together and strengthen our bonds.

The original sentence uses 'and' twice, which makes it slightly awkward. Using a semicolon or separating into two sentences improves clarity. Also, 'it strengthens' should be 'strengthen' to agree with the plural subject 'arguments'. This addresses both conjunction use and subject-verb agreement.
