Chatting— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (umm, uh), and limit to relevant details. Use one or two sentences with linking words to show how and why you chat.

예시: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends in my free time. I usually use apps like WhatsApp and Instagram to catch up quickly and share photos or updates about our daily lives.

제안: Structure your reply: give a topic sentence, then two specific supporting points with linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., "a quick way to stay in touch") and avoid repetition.

예시: We usually talk about work and daily routines because that’s an easy way to stay in touch. We also plan weekends together and sometimes discuss current issues, like air pollution or new tech gadgets.

제안: Improve pronunciation and grammar and be concise: correct key words ("chatting in groups"), use linking words ("because, for example"), and give one clear reason plus a brief example. Reduce hesitation.

예시: I prefer chatting in groups because conversations are livelier and people offer different perspectives. For example, group chats often end with jokes that cheer me up after a long day.

제안: Give a direct topic sentence and two clear reasons with correct grammar. Avoid repetition and fix errors ("face-to-face is healthier and creates a better bond"), and use linking words like "because" and "for example."

예시: I prefer face-to-face communication because it’s healthier and builds stronger personal bonds. Also, it reduces misunderstandings—for example, tone and body language make intentions clearer than in text messages.

제안: Be clearer and more grammatically correct: state your main point, then give specific examples of topics and explain why these arguments are "healthy." Reduce hesitations and tighten wording.

예시: I try to avoid serious arguments, but we sometimes have light debates about topics like which new smartphone is better or whether to spend money on cars or investments. These debates are healthy because they help us see different viewpoints.

× I enjoy chatting with my friends, umm, through to catch up uh, usually in my free time, I like to chat with them, uh, using various social media platforms, uh, like uh, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and we also share photos, umm, and other day-to-day routines that we do.

✓ I enjoy chatting with my friends to catch up; usually in my free time I chat with them using various social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, and we also share photos and other day-to-day updates.

The phrase 'through to catch up' is incorrect; use 'to catch up' to express purpose. Also 'day-to-day routines that we do' is wordy; 'day-to-day updates' is clearer and more natural. Use of punctuation and conjunctions was adjusted for fluency. Suggestion: Use 'to' for purpose (to catch up) and simplify redundant phrases.

× When I catch up with my friends, we usually exchange updates about our work and our daily routine because it's quick way to start a stay in touch and start a conversation.

✓ When I catch up with my friends, we usually exchange updates about our work and our daily routines because it's a quick way to stay in touch and start a conversation.

Missing articles: 'a quick way' requires the indefinite article 'a'. 'Daily routine' should be plural 'daily routines' to match 'updates' and general habitual activities. 'Start a stay in touch' is ungrammatical; correct phrase is 'stay in touch'. Suggestion: Use appropriate articles before singular countable nouns and ensure noun number matches context.

× Apart from that, we discussed about the weekend plan and try to agree on the activities that all of us enjoy.

✓ Apart from that, we discuss the weekend plan and try to agree on activities that we all enjoy.

'Discuss' does not take the preposition 'about' when used transitively; say 'discuss the weekend plan'. Also tense mismatch: rest of sentence is present habitual, so use 'discuss' and 'try'. 'All of us' is more natural as 'we all'. Suggestion: Use 'discuss something' (no 'about') and keep verb tenses consistent for habitual actions.

× Uh, we also talked about some of the basic topics like air pollution and the latest technical gadgets.

✓ We also talk about basic topics like air pollution and the latest gadgets.

Tense inconsistency: surrounding sentences describe habitual actions, so use present simple 'talk' rather than past 'talked'. 'Technical gadgets' can be shortened to 'gadgets' for naturalness. Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual actions.

× I prefer charting in the grips because the conversations become most more lively.

✓ I prefer chatting in groups because the conversations become much livelier.

Multiple errors: 'charting' is a misspelling of 'chatting'; 'grips' should be 'groups'. 'Most more' is redundant; use 'much' or 'more'. 'Lively' as comparative should be 'livelier'. Suggestion: Check spelling and avoid redundant modifiers; use correct comparative form.

× Apart from that being in the group, whenever we start up a conversation, there are different perspectives which comes up.

✓ Apart from that, being in a group, whenever we start a conversation, different perspectives come up.

Subject-verb agreement: 'perspectives' is plural so verb should be 'come', not 'comes'. Also streamline phrasing: 'start up' -> 'start'. Suggestion: Ensure plural subjects take plural verbs and simplify redundant words.

× In addition to that, uh, always the conversation in the group leads to one or other joke, uh, which makes me laugh and uh, helps me to rejuvenate my day.

✓ In addition, conversations in the group often lead to one joke or another, which makes me laugh and helps rejuvenate my day.

Adverb placement: 'always' is better as 'often' for naturalness and should be placed before the verb. 'One or other joke' is awkward; use 'one joke or another'. 'Helps me to rejuvenate my day' is wordy; 'helps rejuvenate my day' is more natural. Suggestion: Place frequency adverbs before main verbs and use idiomatic expressions.

× I prefer communications face to face because that are more healthier and creates a better bond between the friends, uh, or between the people having the communication.

✓ I prefer communication face to face because it is healthier and creates a better bond between friends or between people communicating.

'Communications' (plural) is incorrect here; use uncountable 'communication'. 'That are more healthier' has pronoun and adjective errors: use 'it is healthier' (no 'more' with 'healthier'). Verb agreement: 'creates' matches singular subject 'communication'. Also simplify 'people having the communication' to 'people communicating'. Suggestion: Use correct noun countability and avoid redundant comparative 'more healthier'.

× Apart from that, uh, when we meet face to face, umm, there are less chances of misinterpreting the words or the sentences that we tell people rather than the social media because on the social media, usually people misinterpret what the other person have said.

✓ When we meet face to face, there are fewer chances of misinterpreting what we say, whereas on social media people usually misinterpret what the other person has said.

Use 'fewer' for countable 'chances' not 'less'. 'Misinterpreting the words or the sentences that we tell people' is wordy; 'misinterpreting what we say' is clearer. 'Other person have said' has subject-verb disagreement; use 'has said'. Use 'whereas' to contrast, not 'rather than'. Suggestion: Use 'fewer' for countable nouns and ensure subject-verb agreement in perfect tenses.

× Uh, also face office communications.

✓ Also, face-to-face communication is better.

Fragment sentence 'face office communications' is unclear and ungrammatical. Likely intended 'face-to-face communication'. Provide a complete clause. Suggestion: Avoid sentence fragments; use full sentences with subject and verb.

× I don't like to argue with my friends and I tried the conflicts, umm, uh, However, some of the times we have some healthy arguments about the topics like, uh, which uh, mobile phone that, uh, got launched, uh, in the recent times is better, whether the iPhones are better or other smartphones are better and uh, whether spending TI, uh, money on the cars is better or where they're spending on other investments.

✓ I don't like to argue with my friends and I try to avoid conflicts. However, sometimes we have healthy arguments about topics like which newly launched mobile phone is better, whether iPhones are better than other smartphones, and whether spending money on cars is better or whether to spend on other investments.

'I tried the conflicts' is incorrect; use modal-like expression 'I try to avoid conflicts' to express habitual preference. 'Some of the times' should be 'sometimes'. 'Which mobile phone that got launched in the recent times is better' is awkward; use 'which newly launched mobile phone is better'. Comparison requires 'better than'. 'Spending TI, money on the cars' is unclear; interpret as 'spending money on cars' and correct structure 'whether to spend on other investments'. Suggestion: Use correct modal/habitual constructions ('try to avoid'), simplify time expressions, and use standard comparative forms.

× So such, uh, arguments are, I guess healthy.

✓ So such arguments are, I guess, healthy.

Punctuation and word order: place commas correctly. No strong grammatical error but extraneous commas and filler words removed for clarity. Suggestion: Ensure commas surround parenthetical phrases and avoid unnecessary fillers.
