Chatting— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make sentences grammatically correct and more concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct subject-verb agreement (e.g., "chats help" → "chatting helps") and minor wording ("video calls").

예시: Yes, I do. Chatting helps me stay close to friends even when we are far apart, because we can share feelings and daily stories. For example, we often have video calls to support each other and plan outings together.

제안: Use consistent tense and concise phrasing. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then use linking words (for example, also, and) to add specific details. Avoid unnecessary words like "shared with" when present tense is needed.

예시: I usually talk about how we are feeling and our current moods. I also tell them what I’ve been doing recently and ask about their lives, so we can catch up and give each other advice.

제안: Clarify vocabulary and grammar ("close friend" not "cross friend", plural forms and articles: "personal matters", "surface-level topics"). Start with a clear preference sentence, then briefly explain reasons with a linking word like "because" or "while".

예시: I prefer chatting with just one close friend because I feel comfortable confiding in her about personal matters. While with other female friends I usually stick to everyday, surface-level topics, so conversations aren’t as deep.

제안: Fix word choice and grammar ("facial expressions", subject-verb agreement, and sentence flow). Give one clear reason and a short contrasting clause using linking words like "because" and "although" or "which".

예시: I prefer to communicate in person because we can see each other’s facial expressions and it feels more personal, which helps reduce misunderstandings that often happen in social media messages.

제안: Use precise vocabulary ("have a quarrel" or "argue", not "do a crew"). Remove fillers like "uh" and supply a clear topic sentence followed by a specific example linked with "for example" or "because".

예시: Sometimes we argue, usually because of misunderstandings when chatting online. For example, a written message can seem rude without tone of voice, so we often need to clarify and resolve the disagreement.

× Chatting with friends help us stay close, even we are far apart because we can share new feelings and everyday stories.

✓ Chatting with friends helps us stay close, even when we are far apart because we can share new feelings and everyday stories.

The subject 'Chatting' is a singular gerund phrase and requires the singular verb 'helps' (subject-verb agreement). Also 'even we are far apart' lacks the subordinating word 'when' to show time relationship; add 'when' to make the clause grammatical. Suggestion: Use singular verb for singular gerund subjects and include appropriate subordinating words (e.g., 'when') for time clauses.

× For example, we often take the video call to support each other and plan things together.

✓ For example, we often make video calls to support each other and plan things together.

The phrase 'take the video call' is unnatural; native speakers use 'make video calls' or 'have video calls.' Also use plural 'video calls' for habitual actions. Suggestion: Use natural collocations ('make/ have a call' or 'have video calls') and pluralize when referring to repeated actions.

× Usually I shared with my friends about how we are feeling and our current mood.

✓ Usually I share with my friends how we are feeling and our current mood.

The context uses present habitual time ('Usually'), so use present simple 'share' rather than past 'shared.' Also remove unneeded 'about' after 'shared' when using 'share how'. Suggestion: Match verb tense to time adverbs like 'usually' (use present simple for habitual actions).

× I also tell them what I have been doing recently and ask about what's going on in their lives so we can catch up and give each other advice.

✓ I also tell them what I have been doing recently and ask what's going on in their lives so we can catch up and give each other advice.

The phrase 'ask about what's going on' is acceptable but wordier; 'ask what's going on' is more natural. This is a stylistic improvement rather than a strict grammatical error. Suggestion: Prefer concise forms like 'ask what's going on' for natural speech.

× I prefer chatting with just one cross friend because I feel comfortable confiding in her about personal matter.

✓ I prefer chatting with just one close friend because I feel comfortable confiding in her about personal matters.

'Cross' is likely a typo for 'close.' 'Personal matter' should be plural 'personal matters' to match the general meaning. Ensure correct word choice and pluralize countable noun when speaking generally. Suggestion: Check word choice and pluralize nouns when referring to multiple or unspecified items.

× With other female friends I usually talk about everyday or surface level topic so conversation are not as deep.

✓ With other female friends I usually talk about everyday or surface-level topics, so conversations are not as deep.

'Surface level' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective before 'topics.' 'Topic' should be plural 'topics' and 'conversation' should be plural 'conversations.' Also add a comma before 'so' for clarity. Suggestion: Use plural nouns when speaking generally and hyphenate compound adjectives before nouns.

× I prefer to communicate in person because we can see each other fascia's expressions and is feel more personal although meeting face to face reduce misunderstandings that often happen in social media messages.

✓ I prefer to communicate in person because we can see each other's facial expressions and it feels more personal, and meeting face to face reduces the misunderstandings that often happen in social media messages.

'fascia's expressions' is incorrect; use 'each other's facial expressions.' 'is feel' is ungrammatical; use 'it feels.' Subject-verb agreement: 'meeting face to face reduces' (singular subject 'meeting' requires 'reduces'). Add 'the' before 'misunderstandings' for specificity. Also connect clauses clearly with 'and.' Suggestion: Use correct possessive forms ('each other's'), correct vocabulary ('facial'), ensure subject-verb agreement, and add articles when needed.

× Sometimes we do a crew, usually because of, uh, misunderstanding when we are chatting online.

✓ Sometimes we have a quarrel, usually because of misunderstandings when we are chatting online.

'Do a crew' is incorrect vocabulary; likely intended 'have a quarrel' or 'get into an argument.' Also pluralize 'misunderstanding' to 'misunderstandings' for general cases and remove filler 'uh' in written form. Ensure natural collocation: 'have a quarrel' or 'have an argument.' Suggestion: Use appropriate collocations for conflicts ('have an argument', 'fall out', 'quarrel') and pluralize general nouns.

× For example, a message can seem rude without tones of voice and then we have to clarify things and resolve the disagreement.

✓ For example, a message can seem rude without tones of voice, so we have to clarify things and resolve the disagreement.

Change 'and then' to 'so' to better express cause and effect. The original is understandable but 'so' is a clearer connector. Also consider 'tone of voice' (singular 'tone') or 'vocal tone.' Suggestion: Use connectors that clearly show cause and effect and prefer 'tone of voice' to 'tones of voice' when referring to a single message's lack of vocal tone.
