Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the response more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason and an example. Avoid redundancy and minor grammar mistakes (e.g., 'don't really want to spend a lot of time chatting with them').

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with close friends. For example, with my best friend we often spend hours talking about our plans and problems because we trust each other and feel comfortable sharing personal details.

提案: Organize the answer: give a topic sentence, then two specific topics with brief examples. Avoid fillers and repetition, and correct common expressions (e.g., 'How have you been?', 'I usually ask how they're doing' ).

例: We usually start with small talk, such as 'How have you been?' and then move on to lighter topics like jokes or recent events. For instance, we might share a funny meme and then discuss a movie we both watched last weekend.

提案: Clarify and use natural phrasing. Give a clear preference and a specific reason without awkward wording ('leaked out' is incorrect). Keep it to two or three sentences.

例: I prefer chatting one-on-one with my closest friend because it's easier to have a deep, private conversation. For example, I can talk about personal issues or future plans without worrying about others overhearing.

提案: Keep the answer concise and use accurate vocabulary (e.g., 'tone and intonation', 'misunderstandings' rather than 'misinformation'). Provide a brief example to support your preference.

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can hear tone and see body language, which reduces misunderstandings. For example, when discussing something sensitive, meeting in person helps avoid misinterpretation of messages.

提案: Be decisive and correct grammar and word choice. Start with a clear statement (e.g., 'I rarely argue with my friends'), then provide a concise reason and a short example. Avoid informal phrases like 'not poking another person's' and 'kinda'.

例: I rarely argue with my friends because I try to stay calm and respect their feelings. For instance, if a friend is upset, I usually give them space and talk later when they're calmer to avoid conflict.

× Well, if they are really close friends then yes, I surely enjoy talking and chatting with them.

✓ Well, if they are really close friends, then yes, I surely enjoy talking and chatting with them.

Main issue: punctuation and natural phrasing rather than core grammar category. Add a comma after the 'if' clause for correct sentence structure and flow. The sentence is otherwise grammatically correct. Suggestion: always place a comma after an introductory conditional clause.

× But if they are only acquaintances I don't really think I want to spend a lot of time to chat with them.

✓ But if they are only acquaintances, I don't really think I want to spend a lot of time chatting with them.

Error type: incorrect verb form after 'spend' (should use -ing form) and missing comma after introductory clause. 'Spend' is followed by a gerund, not an infinitive. Suggestion: use 'spend time doing something' and add a comma after the conditional clause.

× Well, I think the most general 1 is like, Hey, how are you doing? How is it been? Because I think it is very common to actually ask them how how good they are.

✓ Well, I think the most general one is like, 'Hey, how are you doing?' or 'How have you been?' Because I think it is very common to ask them how they are doing.

Errors: '1' should be 'one' (word choice), 'How is it been?' is incorrect — correct form is 'How have you been?' or 'How are you doing?'. Also 'how how good they are' is ungrammatical; use 'how they are doing.' Suggestion: use correct question forms and pronoun order: 'how they are doing.'

× And the next thing I think it's a joke, like maybe do you know this joke or do you know that joke?

✓ And the next thing, I think, is jokes, like 'Do you know this joke?' or 'Do you know that joke?'

Problems: awkward structure 'it's a joke' after 'the next thing' — better to pluralize to 'is jokes' or say 'I usually share a joke.' Also punctuation and capitalization for reported speech. Suggestion: restructure to 'I usually tell jokes, like...' or 'I might ask, "Do you know this joke?"'

× Well, I surely enjoy talking and chatting with my one closest friend rather than in a group of people because I think with that person I can talk and share many information I want to be leaked out.

✓ Well, I certainly enjoy talking and chatting with my closest friend rather than with a group of people, because I think with that person I can talk and share much information I don't want to be leaked.

Errors: 'my one closest friend' is incorrect word order — use 'my closest friend.' Preposition 'in a group' should be 'with a group.' 'Many information' is incorrect — 'information' is uncountable so use 'much information' or 'a lot of information.' Also 'I want to be leaked out' is passive and ungrammatical; use 'I don't want to be leaked' or better 'I don't want to have leaked' but here 'information I don't want leaked' is concise. Suggestion: use correct adjective order, appropriate prepositions, uncountable noun rules, and revise passive phrasing.

× Face to face, obviously, because I think that through social media we can't really see the tone and intonations of that person and it sometimes can lead to misinformation if the person is writing in the typo.

✓ Face to face, obviously, because I think that through social media we can't really hear the person's tone and intonation, and this can sometimes lead to misunderstandings if the person makes typos when writing.

Errors: 'see the tone and intonations' — use 'hear the person's tone and intonation.' 'Intonations' is usually singular 'intonation.' 'It sometimes can lead to misinformation' is better as 'this can sometimes lead to misunderstandings.' 'Writing in the typo' is incorrect; use 'makes typos when writing.' Suggestion: choose correct verbs for senses (hear vs see), use uncountable/singular forms correctly, and replace 'misinformation' with 'misunderstandings' for interpersonal tone issues.

× Well I'm not so sure actually, but I think I rarely argue with my friends because in my current age right now I'm really matured enough to not poking another person's when they are in a bad mood, so I kinda learn how to control the situation.

✓ Well, I'm not so sure actually, but I think I rarely argue with my friends because at my current age I'm mature enough not to poke at another person when they are in a bad mood, so I have learned how to control the situation.

Errors: 'in my current age right now' is redundant — use 'at my current age' or just 'now.' 'I'm really matured' is wrong: use adjective 'mature' not past participle 'matured.' 'To not poking' is incorrect: after 'enough' and with 'not' use infinitive 'not to poke.' 'Another person's' is incomplete (possessive) — use 'another person.' 'So I kinda learn' should be past/present perfect 'I have learned' or 'I've learned.' Suggestion: avoid redundancy, use correct adjective forms, correct infinitive after 'enough', and use appropriate tense for acquired habits.'
