Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and grammatically correct: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (um, uh), and limit to 2–3 sentences. Give a specific frequency and a brief reason using linking words (because/so).

例: Yes, I often chat with my friends in my free time. I usually talk to them about five times a day because staying in touch helps me relax and feel refreshed.

提案: Answer directly with a topic sentence, then give specific examples and use linking words like for example or because. Avoid tense errors and hesitations.

例: We usually talk about recent events and daily updates because that helps us stay connected. For example, we share what happened at work or school during the week and any plans for the weekend.

提案: This answer is clear but can be more concise and polished. Use one linking phrase (because/so) and give a concise reason and a brief example to support your preference.

例: I prefer talking with one friend because it is easier to concentrate and discuss topics in depth. For instance, when planning a trip with a single friend we can focus on each detail without interruptions.

提案: Improve fluency and accuracy: remove hesitations, use precise phrases (prefer to communicate in person), and give a clear specific reason with a short example. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

例: I prefer to communicate in person because I can read facial expressions and body language. For example, if a friend looks worried I can notice it right away and ask how they are.

提案: Correct grammar (I have arguments / I argue), be specific about frequency and reasons, and use linking words (for example, when, because). Limit to 2–3 concise sentences and give a clear example.

例: Yes, I sometimes argue with friends when our opinions differ, especially about plans. For example, we often disagree about the itinerary or destination when planning a school trip.

× I've chatting with my friends in my free time, Umm, I talked with, uh, talk with my friends, uh, five times, uh, every day, almost every day as long as I can have free spare time and yeah, it makes me uh, refreshed and uh, make yeah, that's.

✓ I chat with my friends in my free time. I talk with my friends about five times every day, almost every day when I have spare time, and it refreshes me.

The original uses 'I've chatting' which incorrectly combines the present perfect auxiliary 'I've' with the -ing form; use simple present 'I chat' for habitual actions. 'I talked with, uh, talk with' mixes past and present; choose simple present 'I talk' for regular frequency. 'as long as I can have free spare time' is awkward; use 'when I have spare time'. 'it makes me refreshed and uh, make' has subject-verb disagreement and redundant verbs; use 'it refreshes me'. Use consistent tense (present simple) for habits. Suggestions: Use simple present for habitual actions, avoid combining 'have' with continuous wrongly, and ensure subject-verb agreement (it refreshes).

× Well, I had conversations with my friends regarding, uh, what happened, uh, last, uh, last week or this week, umm, because I showing, umm, the daily updates would benefit us to umm, strengthen our, our communication, right?

✓ Well, I have conversations with my friends about what happened last week or this week, because sharing daily updates benefits us and strengthens our communication.

The original mixes past ('I had conversations') and present context; use present simple 'I have conversations' for habitual action. 'I showing' is incorrect: the verb 'show' needs proper form; use gerund 'sharing' or the base verb with proper structure. 'would benefit us to strengthen' is awkward; say 'benefits us and strengthens'. Suggestions: Use correct gerund forms for actions you 'do' (sharing), keep tense consistent, and use parallel verbs for clarity.

× Well I prefer to chat well with one friend because if I talk with in a group I will never be able to concentrate or deep dive into the topic so but if I can talk with one friend I will deep dive into the topic and discuss in detail. So I prefer that.

✓ I prefer to chat with one friend because if I talk in a group I cannot concentrate or dive deeply into a topic; if I talk with one friend I can explore the topic in detail.

Errors: 'chat well with' incorrectly uses 'well'—use 'chat with'. 'talk with in a group' has incorrect preposition ordering; use 'talk in a group' or 'talk with a group'. 'deep dive' should be 'dive deeply' or 'go into depth'; choose 'dive deeply' or 'explore in detail'. 'I will never be able' is too strong; 'I cannot' is concise. Suggestions: Correct preposition placement ('talk in a group' or 'chat with someone'), avoid filler words, and use adverb forms ('deeply') or alternative phrasing ('explore in detail').

× I rather communicate, uh, in person because if I can talk with, uh, people in person, I can, uh, get a number of information of that person.

✓ I prefer to communicate in person because if I can talk with people face-to-face, I can get a lot of information about them.

'I rather communicate' is incorrect; use 'I prefer to'. 'get a number of information' is unidiomatic; use 'get a lot of information' or 'learn a lot'. 'information of that person' should be 'information about them'. Suggestions: Use 'prefer' for preferences, 'a lot of' for quantity with uncountable nouns, and 'about' to indicate the subject of information.

× For example, if he, uh, can his, his face is looked worried, I can, umm, start to worry about him and ask them what happened to him.

✓ For example, if his face looks worried, I can start to worry about him and ask him what happened.

Problems: 'if he, uh, can his, his face is looked worried' is ungrammatical. Use 'if his face looks worried' (subject + verb). 'ask them what happened to him' mixes pronouns; pick one ('him'). 'is looked worried' wrongly uses passive; use active 'looks worried'. Suggestions: Keep subject and verb together, use correct verb forms ('looks'), and maintain consistent pronouns ('him').

× Yes, I makes lots of arguments with friends quite often.

✓ Yes, I have lots of arguments with friends quite often.

'I makes' is incorrect: the verb 'make' must agree with 'I' so use 'make' or better 'have' when referring to arguments ('have arguments'). Using 'has'/'makes' occurs with third person singular only. Suggestions: Use correct verb form for the subject ('I make' or 'I have') and prefer 'have arguments' for natural English.

× What about our views or ideas are different? We have arguments.

✓ When our views or ideas are different, we have arguments.

Original 'What about our views or ideas are different?' is a malformed question; the intended meaning is a conditional statement. Use 'When' or 'If' to introduce the condition. Suggestions: Use proper subordinating conjunctions ('when', 'if') to form conditional sentences.

× Let's say if you find planning, school itinerary and the destination we want to visit is different than we can have arguments.

✓ For example, if our plans, the school itinerary, or the destination we want to visit are different, we can have arguments.

Errors: 'find planning' is unclear; use 'our plans'. 'different than' is acceptable in informal American English but 'different from' is more standard. Subject-verb agreement: use 'are' for compound subject ('plans, itinerary, or destination'). Also restructure to a clear conditional. Suggestions: Use 'if' + clause, ensure subject-verb agreement, and prefer 'different from' in formal contexts.
