Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be clearer and more concise: use correct words, reduce hesitations, and organize your answer with one main idea followed by a specific reason. Replace vague phrases like “talk on child” with the correct phrase (e.g., “chat online”) and avoid filler words (umm, uh). Aim for 2–3 sentences and use a linking phrase before the reason (e.g., “because” or “as”).

例: Yes, I do. I prefer chatting online rather than calling because messages are more convenient — people can reply when they have time, and it doesn’t require an immediate response.

提案: Finish your ideas and provide specific examples with linking words. Avoid trailing off; structure the answer with a topic sentence and 1–2 supporting details using connectors like “for example” and “also.” Be specific about topics instead of saying “random stuff.”

例: We usually chat about everyday things and schoolwork. For example, yesterday I discussed the steps for a group project with my best friend, and sometimes we make plans for the weekend or share interesting news.

提案: Be more concise and grammatical: state your preference clearly, give a brief reason, and avoid repetition and fillers. Use linking words like “because” and give a concrete example of what you share with a close friend.

例: I prefer chatting with one or a few close friends because I’m introverted and feel comfortable sharing personal details only with people I trust. For instance, I often tell my closest friend about my worries and plans.

提案: Good idea and reason — improve grammar and phrasing, and make the contrast clearer with a linking phrase like “however.” Avoid small errors (e.g., “whereas I social media”). Keep it to 2–3 sentences for clarity.

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because it lets me share emotions and judge sincerity more easily. However, I use social media when friends live far away or we cannot meet in person.

提案: Be grammatically correct and avoid vague phrasing. State directly whether you argue, give a reason or typical cause, describe how you resolve disagreements, and finish the example. Use past tense correctly and reduce hesitations.

例: Yes, we sometimes argue about small things like where to go. However, we usually resolve disagreements quickly by discussing our preferences and compromising — for example, last Sunday we discussed options and agreed on a place to visit.

× I prefer to talk on child than umm talking on calls because uh, chats are very convenient.

✓ I prefer to talk by chat rather than talking on calls because chats are very convenient.

The preposition 'on' is incorrectly used with 'child' (probably meant 'chat') and 'talk on calls'. Use 'by chat' or 'via chat' and 'on calls' is acceptable but 'talk on calls' is awkward; 'talk by chat' and 'rather than' are the correct choices. Also corrected 'child' to 'chat' which appears to be a typo.

× Umm, a person can send message without bothering about the time or uh, about a spontaneous conversation.

✓ A person can send messages without worrying about the time or about having a spontaneous conversation.

Use plural 'messages' for general statements (quantifier issue but handled as preposition/word choice). 'Bothering about' is non-idiomatic; use 'worrying about'. Also 'about a spontaneous conversation' needs 'having' to show the activity.

× We can reply the other person according to our mood and convenience.

✓ We can reply to the other person according to our mood and convenience.

The verb 'reply' needs the preposition 'to' when indicating the person receiving the reply. Added 'to' for correct verb+preposition usage.

× For example, I last talked to my best friend about the the work we are going to do on the project which was given by our teacher.

✓ For example, I last talked to my best friend about the work we are going to do for the project that was given to us by our teacher.

Tense consistency: 'are going to do' (future) is fine with 'last talked' as a past event describing content; adjust prepositions and article repetition ('the the') and use 'for the project' and 'given to us' for natural phrasing.

× Sometime we do future planning and other time we just.

✓ Sometimes we do future planning and other times we just chat.

Use plural 'Sometimes' and 'other times' for frequency. The sentence was incomplete; added 'chat' to finish the idea and maintain present simple for habitual actions.

× I prefer a few friends over many. So yes, I only prefer chatting with a few friends, umm, mainly a single friend because umm, I am a very introvert person.

✓ I prefer a few friends rather than many. So yes, I prefer chatting with a few friends, mainly a single close friend, because I am a very introverted person.

'A very introvert person' is incorrect adjective form; use 'introverted'. 'Prefer a few friends over many' is better as 'prefer a few friends rather than many'. Removed redundant 'only' and smoothed phrasing.

× I can only open up with few people and having a one friend close to me and, and is uh enough for me.

✓ I can only open up to a few people, and having one close friend is enough for me.

Use 'open up to' not 'open up with', and 'a few' requires an article. 'Having a one friend' is wrong; use 'one close friend'. Correct sentence structure and word order.

× And I was. I can share with whom. I can share everything and every detail.

✓ I can share everything and every detail with that friend.

Original sentences are fragmented and unclear. Combined into one clear sentence and placed the object ('that friend') after the verb for natural English word order.

× I prefer face to face communication over social media because face to face conversation helps to share our emotions and know the genuineness of a conversation, whereas I social media is only preferred when the friendship is long distance.

✓ I prefer face-to-face communication over social media because face-to-face conversation helps share our emotions and show the genuineness of a relationship, whereas social media is only preferable when the friendship is long-distance.

Use hyphenated 'face-to-face' as an adjective, remove unnecessary 'to', and 'helps share' is more natural than 'helps to share our emotions and know'. 'Know the genuineness' is awkward; use 'show the genuineness' or 'reveal whether the relationship is genuine'. Also remove stray 'I' before 'social media' and use 'preferable' and hyphenate 'long-distance'.

× Yes, there are some points at which arguments occur between me and my friends, umm and but those arguments doesn't take a voluntary and we often used to solve that argument on time and get to a conclusion.

✓ Yes, there are times when arguments occur between my friends and me, but those arguments don't become serious, and we often solve them quickly and reach a conclusion.

Use idiomatic 'times when' instead of 'points at which'. Use correct object order 'my friends and me'. 'Doesn't take a voluntary' is ungrammatical; interpreted as 'don't become serious' or 'aren't voluntary'. 'Used to solve' is incorrect for habitual present; use 'we often solve them'. Ensure subject-verb agreement 'arguments don't'.

× For example, umm last Sunday I had a small argument with my best friend over the place we are going to explore as.

✓ For example, last Sunday I had a small argument with my best friend about the place we were going to explore.

Use past progressive 'were going' to match the past context 'last Sunday'. 'Over the place' should be 'about the place'. Removed trailing 'as' and unnecessary filler words for clarity.
