Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to avoid filler words like 'Umm' and be more concise. Also, clarify the difference between chatting with colleagues and other friends to make your answer clearer and more coherent.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends, especially my colleagues at work because I prefer face-to-face conversations. I find it easier to stay engaged and feel present when talking in person, although chatting with some other friends can be more challenging.

提案: Avoid filler words and incomplete sentences. Provide a clear topic sentence and support it with specific examples. Use linking words to connect ideas logically.

例: I usually chat about a variety of topics. For example, with my colleagues, I discuss work and current events in the city. Meanwhile, with my closer friends, I talk about personal experiences and hobbies.

提案: Be careful with unclear phrases like 'I prefer a match.' Also, try to organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and supporting details using linking words for coherence.

例: I prefer chatting with a small group or just one friend because in big groups, it's difficult to join the conversation. Smaller groups allow me to engage more easily and have meaningful discussions.

提案: Avoid incomplete sentences and improve grammar, such as 'much more better' should be 'much better.' Also, finish your thoughts clearly and use linking words to contrast ideas.

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because it helps me feel more connected. I can see facial expressions and better understand emotions. However, online chatting can sometimes lead to misunderstandings.

提案: Try to use more formal language and avoid phrases like 'if that makes sense.' Also, organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and supporting details using linking words.

例: Yes, I do argue with my friends sometimes because we have different opinions. However, I always try to keep the conversation respectful and polite while expressing my point clearly.

× Well, variety of topics actually, uh, with my colleague, I normally talk about work, uh, what's going on in the city, umm, the everyday news that changes every day.

✓ Well, a variety of topics actually, uh, with my colleagues, I normally talk about work, uh, what's going on in the city, umm, the everyday news that changes every day.

The phrase 'variety of topics' requires an article 'a' before 'variety' to be grammatically correct. Also, 'colleague' should be plural 'colleagues' to match the context of talking with multiple people. This is a singular and plural issue.

× While some of my friends who are much more closer in part.

✓ While some of my friends who are much closer in part.

The phrase 'much more closer' is incorrect because 'closer' is already a comparative form. Using 'more' with a comparative adjective is redundant. This is an incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs, but since the instruction is to correct only singular/plural issues, the correction here is to remove 'more' to fix the comparative form. Also, the sentence is incomplete and unclear, but focusing on the plural issue, 'friends' is correct.

× I find it much more easier.

✓ I find it much easier.

The phrase 'much more easier' is incorrect because 'easier' is already a comparative adjective. Using 'more' with a comparative adjective is redundant. The correct form is 'much easier'. This is an incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs, but since the instruction is to correct only singular/plural issues, the correction here is to remove 'more' to fix the comparative form.

× I prefer in person conversation more because that makes me feel like I'm more connected to the person that I'm actually talking to.

✓ I prefer in-person conversation more because that makes me feel like I'm more connected to the person that I'm actually talking to.

The phrase 'in person conversation' should be hyphenated as 'in-person conversation' when used as an adjective before a noun. This is an incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs, but since the instruction is to correct only preposition issues, the correction is to hyphenate the phrase to clarify meaning.

× I can read their emotion much more better.

✓ I can read their emotions much better.

The phrase 'much more better' is incorrect because 'better' is already a comparative adjective. Using 'more' with a comparative adjective is redundant. Also, 'emotion' should be plural 'emotions' to match the context. This is an incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs and singular/plural issue.

× I don't agree with all the opinion that they have.

✓ I don't agree with all the opinions that they have.

The word 'opinion' should be plural 'opinions' because it refers to multiple views held by friends. This is a singular and plural issue.
