Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct small grammar slips; start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition ("more relaxed, more calm"), and fix phrasing ("things that don't really matter"). Add one specific example to strengthen content. Keep to 2–4 sentences.

例: Yes — I chat with friends every day because it helps me relax. For example, after school we usually talk about a funny video or our plans for the weekend, which always lifts my mood. Spending time with people I care about makes the day better.

提案: Use correct grammar ("my friends and I" not "me and my friends"), use singular/plural correctly ("homework" not "homeworks"), and be more specific: name a subject or an activity. Link sentences with a cohesive phrase (e.g., "for example").

例: My friends and I mostly talk about schoolwork, especially upcoming tests in math and English. For example, we form study groups to review difficult topics so we can do better on exams.

提案: Open with a clear concise statement ("I prefer talking one-on-one"). Remove redundancy ("just" repeated), correct collocations ("deeper level" not "more deeper level"). Add a short reason or brief example to support your preference.

例: I prefer talking one-on-one rather than in a group because it feels less pressured. For example, when I have a one-on-one chat with my best friend we can discuss personal problems more openly.

提案: Start with a direct answer ("I prefer face-to-face communication"). Avoid listing similar items repeatedly; combine ideas succinctly. Add a brief concrete example showing when face-to-face is better (e.g., resolving misunderstandings). Use linking words like "because" to show cause and effect.

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because there are fewer distractions and it's easier to understand tone and body language. For instance, when resolving a misunderstanding with a friend, we usually meet so we can talk things through and clear it up quickly.

提案: Be concise and avoid repeating the same idea. Use clearer conditionals ("If I do disagree...") and give a short specific example of a topic you might discuss. Show the outcome with a linking phrase ("so" or "therefore").

例: I don't usually argue with friends; if we disagree it is usually about sensitive issues like politics or grades. I explain my opinion calmly and, if we still disagree, we respect each other's views and move on.

× Chatting with friends is something I do on a daily basis and it definitely makes the day flow easier.

✓ Chatting with friends is something I do on a daily basis and it definitely makes the day go by more easily.

'Flow easier' is an unnatural collocation; 'go by' is the correct phrasal verb for time passing and 'more easily' is the correct comparative adverb form. Maintain present simple tense for habitual action. Id:10

× It makes me feel more relaxed, more calm.

✓ It makes me feel more relaxed and calmer.

Using two separate comparative forms requires parallel structure. 'More relaxed and calmer' uses comparative adjective 'calmer' rather than repeating 'more'. This keeps the sentence concise and grammatical. Id:13

× Even if we're just talking about nonsense or just talking about things I don't really matter or meaningless things, it's fine, I enjoy it.

✓ Even if we're just talking about nonsense or things that don't really matter or are meaningless, it's fine; I enjoy it.

The original has a clause 'things I don't really matter' where 'things' is subject but 'I' wrongly placed. Correct structure is 'things that don't really matter.' Also remove redundant 'just talking' and use a semicolon or period to separate ideas. Id:26

× I'm spending time with people who I like, who I care about, and that's all that matters.

✓ I spend time with people whom I like and care about, and that's all that matters.

'Spending' suggests a continuous action; for habitual preference use present simple 'I spend.' Use 'whom' as the object of the verb/ preposition, and streamline the relative clauses. This improves formality and grammar. Id:12

× Since I'm a teenager, me and my friends usually talk about schoolwork, whether that be tests, homeworks or activities that we have to do.

✓ Since I'm a teenager, my friends and I usually talk about schoolwork, whether that is tests, homework, or activities we have to do.

Use subject form 'my friends and I' rather than 'me and my friends.' 'Homeworks' is incorrect; 'homework' is uncountable. 'Whether that is' agrees with singular 'schoolwork.' Id:12

× We usually help each other so that way we could be better and we could survive whatever is thrown in our way.

✓ We usually help each other so that we can be better and can get through whatever is thrown in our way.

Mixing 'could' here is unnecessary for general habitual ability; use 'can' for present ability. 'Survive' is fine but 'get through' is more natural collocation. Also remove redundant 'that way.' Id:9

× My preference of communication definitely lies with talking with one person more.

✓ My preference for communication is definitely to talk with one person more often.

Use 'preference for' not 'preference of.' 'Lies with' is awkward here; 'is to talk with' expresses preference more clearly. Add 'more often' to indicate comparative frequency. Id:11

× I feel like it is a way for me to get to know that person even better without the pressure of a group or without other people being there to talk about other things or steer the conversation in another way.

✓ I feel it is a way for me to get to know that person even better without the pressure of a group or other people steering the conversation.

Remove redundancy: 'without other people being there to talk about other things or steer the conversation in another way' is wordy. Use participle 'steering' to shorten and create parallel structure. Maintain present simple. Id:13

× I'm just there with this other person and we're just getting to know each other on a more deeper level.

✓ I'm just there with this other person and we're getting to know each other on a deeper level.

'More deeper' is a double comparative; use 'deeper' alone. Remove redundant 'just' for conciseness. Id:13

× In terms of being social with other people, I like it more when I can communicate face to face.

✓ When socializing with others, I prefer to communicate face to face.

'In terms of being social with other people' is wordy; 'when socializing with others' is concise. Use 'prefer to communicate' is more natural than 'I like it more when I can communicate.' Id:11

× That way there's no distractions, no notifications, no videos, nothing that can distract me.

✓ That way there are no distractions, no notifications, no videos—nothing that can distract me.

Use plural verb 'there are' with plural 'distractions.' Maintain subject-verb agreement. Add dash or punctuation to separate the concluding clause. Id:12

× It's just a clear conversation between me and other people.

✓ It's just a clear conversation between me and other people.

Sentence is grammatical but 'between me and other people' is less formal than 'between myself and others' though both are acceptable. No mandatory correction required under given list; this suggestion maintains original. Id:10

× There's nothing that's getting in our way, and matters can be solved even easier in a face to face setting.

✓ There's nothing getting in our way, and matters can be solved more easily in a face-to-face setting.

Prefer the participle 'getting' without 'that's.' 'Even easier' should be 'more easily' (adverb) to modify 'solved.' Hyphenate 'face-to-face.' Id:11

× I'm not a very argumentative person.

✓ I'm not a very argumentative person.

This sentence is correct as written; no change needed. It expresses a present characteristic appropriately. Id:13

× If I do argue with friends, it is because of a certain topic, maybe sensitive topic, or a topic that requires me to give my own opinion.

✓ If I do argue with friends, it is because of a certain topic—maybe a sensitive topic—or a topic that requires me to give my opinion.

Add article 'a' before 'sensitive topic' and simplify 'give my own opinion' to 'give my opinion.' Use dashes or commas for clarity. This fixes missing article and improves flow. Id:26

× However, I don't argue with them.

✓ However, I don't argue with them.

Sentence is correct in present simple to describe habitual behavior; no change required. (No ID because instruction 2 says only correct listed types; this sentence passes.) Id:6

× I just present what I think, what my opinion is, what I feel about the matter and see if they agree with it.

✓ I just present what I think, what my opinion is, and how I feel about the matter, and see if they agree with it.

Add conjunction 'and' before the final clause for parallelism and clarity. Use 'how I feel' for natural phrasing. This fixes coordination problem. Id:26

× If not, that's fine, we just leave it at that.

✓ If not, that's fine; we just leave it at that.

Use a semicolon or conjunction to properly connect two independent clauses. The comma splice is incorrect; replace with semicolon or period. Id:16
