Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to use correct grammar and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add specific reasons with linking words to make your answer coherent and natural. Avoid filler sounds and redundant phrases.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends because I am an extroverted person. When I feel stressed, talking to them helps me relax and feel better. Additionally, I also like to chat with my family to stay connected.

提案: Focus on using correct verb forms and avoid hesitation. Provide a clear topic sentence followed by specific examples and reasons, using linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

例: I usually chat with my friends about food because it is a common interest. For example, I get excited when we talk about Japanese dishes like sushi, which I really enjoy eating.

提案: Improve fluency by reducing hesitation and using correct sentence structures. Begin with a clear preference statement, then explain reasons with linking words and specific details.

例: I prefer chatting with only one friend because it allows me to focus better. Sometimes, group conversations cover topics that don't interest me, so one-on-one talks are more enjoyable.

提案: Work on sentence clarity and avoid repetition. Use linking words to contrast ideas clearly and provide specific reasons for your preference.

例: I definitely prefer face-to-face communication nowadays. Although social media is common for connecting with people, it can be unsafe because we cannot see the other person's face, which makes communication less trustworthy.

提案: Avoid hesitation and unclear phrases. Provide a clear answer first, then explain with specific details and linking words to make your response coherent and natural.

例: I usually don't argue with my friends, but sometimes I do with those who are very close to me. However, I avoid arguing with people I just met because I want to be polite.

× I like to chatting with my friends 'cause I'm out, uh, extrovert person.

✓ I like chatting with my friends 'cause I'm an extrovert person.

The verb 'like' is followed by either the infinitive form 'to chat' or the gerund form 'chatting'. 'To chatting' is incorrect. Also, 'an' is needed before 'extrovert person' because 'extrovert' starts with a vowel sound.

× So when I feel stressed for when I feel stress, I to talk, I talk to, I talk to my friends and then chatting is really helpful to me, uh, to reduce my stress.

✓ So when I feel stressed, I talk to my friends and chatting is really helpful to me to reduce my stress.

The phrase 'feel stressed for when I feel stress' is redundant and incorrect. 'I to talk' is ungrammatical; it should be 'I talk'. The sentence is simplified for clarity and correct tense usage.

× And of course, and also I like to chat with my family.

✓ And of course, I also like chatting with my family.

Similar to the first correction, 'like to chat' is acceptable but 'like chatting' is more natural here. Also, 'and also' is redundant; 'I also like' is clearer.

× I usually talk about uh, foods for instance, cause a food is really common with us.

✓ I usually talk about food, for instance, because food is really common for us.

'Foods' is generally uncountable when referring to types of food in general, so 'food' is correct. 'A food' is incorrect unless referring to a specific type or item.

× And when I feel uh, when I talk with uh, when I talk with my friends about foods, I feel like so excited 'cause I like to eating food, especially like Japanese food such as sushi.

✓ And when I talk with my friends about food, I feel so excited because I like eating food, especially Japanese food such as sushi.

'Like to eating' is incorrect; it should be 'like eating' or 'like to eat'. Also, 'foods' should be 'food' as uncountable noun here.

× I like to talk, uh, with only one friend 'cause I want to focus on one person to talk with and there are a lot of topics that people are interested in.

✓ I like to talk with only one friend because I want to focus on one person to talk with, and there are a lot of topics that people are interested in.

No plural/singular error here; sentence is fine except for minor punctuation and conjunction usage which is acceptable.

× So we, sometimes I don't interest, I'm not interested in the, the topic, the, uh, the group talk.

✓ Sometimes, I'm not interested in the topic of group talks.

'I don't interest' is incorrect; the correct form is 'I'm not interested'. The sentence is simplified for clarity and correct tense.

× So I prefer to one person to talk with.

✓ So I prefer to talk with one person.

The phrase 'prefer to one person to talk with' is ungrammatical. The correct structure is 'prefer to talk with one person'.

× I definitely prefer to face to face communication nowadays.

✓ I definitely prefer face-to-face communication nowadays.

'Prefer to face to face communication' is incorrect. 'Prefer' is followed directly by the noun phrase 'face-to-face communication' without 'to'.

× Uh, social media are really common to use, uh, to communicate with people, but sometimes social media is, uh, unsafe 'cause uh, we cannot see the face of the face of the, the, uh, the, them.

✓ Social media is really common to use to communicate with people, but sometimes social media is unsafe because we cannot see their faces.

'Social media' is treated as singular or plural depending on context; here singular is more natural. 'The face of the face of the, the, uh, the, them' is incorrect and replaced with 'their faces' for clarity.

× So, and it's, it is easy to connect it with.

✓ So, it's easy to connect with.

The phrase 'and it's, it is' is redundant. 'Connect it with' is awkward; 'connect with' is correct.

× Uh, no I don't, uh, but sometimes I, I do argue with my friends who are very close, but I talk with not close people like uh, the first met.

✓ No, I don't, but sometimes I do argue with my close friends, but I don't argue with people I just met.

'I talk with not close people like the first met' is ungrammatical. Correct modal and verb usage is 'I don't argue with people I just met'.

× I don't wanna argue with my, uh, meet them 'cause it's really, umm, I know I'm polite, so I do.

✓ I don't want to argue with people I just met because I know I'm polite.

'My, uh, meet them' is incorrect pronoun usage. It should be 'people I just met'. The phrase 'so I do' is unclear and removed for clarity.
