Score: 55.0Suggestion: Cần sửa ngữ pháp cơ bản và trật tự từ để câu trả lời tự nhiên hơn; tránh lặp từ và tiếng ngắt (uh, um). Nên mở đầu bằng câu chủ đề ngắn gọn, sau đó nêu thói quen với chi tiết cụ thể (khi nào, tại sao). Ví dụ sửa các thì (I usually chat), loại bỏ từ thừa và dùng liên từ khi cần.
Example: Yes, I really enjoy chatting with my friends. I usually chat with them every day, especially after spending long hours studying, because talking helps me relax and de-stress.
What do you usually chat about with friends?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời có nội dung hợp lý nhưng nên rõ ràng hơn và dùng liên từ để nối ý. Tránh lặp từ (daily life) nhiều lần; bổ sung chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ chủ đề học môn gì, kế hoạch học) để câu trả lời sinh động hơn.
Example: We usually talk about our daily lives and schoolwork. Since I’m in my final year of high school, we often discuss exam preparation, study schedules and tips for difficult subjects like math and English.
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Cần trả lời rõ ràng về sở thích (group vs one-to-one) với lý do mạch lạc; tránh dùng cấu trúc lặp và dịch từng từ. Nên tổ chức câu: chủ đề + lý do + ví dụ ngắn (e.g., team meetings vs personal talks).
Example: I enjoy both, but for different reasons. In a group, like my volleyball team, we talk about tactics and team plans, while one-on-one chats allow me to share personal matters and get individual support.
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Ý tưởng rõ nhưng cần diễn đạt trôi chảy, dùng từ chính xác (clearly), loại bỏ tiếng ngập và sửa cấu trúc (I understand my friends more clearly). Thêm một câu ngắn nêu ví dụ (e.g., reading facial expressions) để củng cố lý do.
Example: I prefer face-to-face communication because I can express my feelings directly and read facial expressions. This helps me understand my friends more clearly than through social media.

Example: Yes, I once had a big argument with my best friend about a misunderstanding. Afterwards, I met her in person and we talked calmly to resolve the issue, which helped us reconcile.
× Certainly, I love it very much. I usually chatting with my friends every day or after I you spend my time, uh, studying, uh, something make me stress I chatting with my friends.
✓ Certainly, I love it very much. I usually chat with my friends every day, or after I spend my time studying or when something makes me stressed, I chat with my friends.
The sentence contains incorrect verb forms and extra words. Use the simple present 'chat' with habitual adverbs (usually, every day). Remove the extra 'you' and unnecessary fillers. Use 'spend my time studying' (verb + -ing) and 'something makes me stressed' (third person singular 'makes' and adjective 'stressed'). Avoid repeating 'I chatting' which is ungrammatical. Suggestions: simplify the sentence, use correct present tense forms, and place time clauses clearly.
× I often chat about my daily life or their daily life or about studying because I am in the final year in my high school so I spend a lot of time to study.
✓ I often chat about my daily life or my friends' daily lives, or about studying, because I am in my final year of high school, so I spend a lot of time studying.
Issues: incorrect possessive and plural ('their daily life' should be 'my friends' daily lives'), awkward infinitive 'to study' after 'spend time' (use verb+ing: 'spend time studying'), and article use 'in my high school' should be 'of high school' or 'of my high school'. Suggestions: use possessive for others, plural for multiple people, and 'spend time' + gerund.
× I think I like both because I am a participant. I am participating in a group of volleyball team, so I must work in that group very much and I also spend time chatting only one friend.
✓ I think I like both because I am a member of a volleyball team, so I have to work a lot with the group, and I also spend time chatting with just one friend.
Problems: 'a participant' is not the best collocation for team membership; use 'member'. 'A group of volleyball team' is ungrammatical — use 'a volleyball team' or 'a group on the volleyball team'. 'Must work in that group very much' should be 'have to work a lot with the group'. 'Chatting only one friend' needs preposition 'with' and 'only one friend' -> 'just one friend'. Suggestions: choose correct collocations, use 'have to' for obligation, and include necessary prepositions.
× I prefer to communicate face to face because uh, I can show or express my umm, feelings, uh, directly and uh, I also, uh, understand my friends Clea clearly than uh, social media.
✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because I can express my feelings directly, and I can also understand my friends more clearly than on social media.
Issues: unnecessary fillers removed. 'Show or express my feelings' simplified to 'express my feelings'. Comparison needs 'more clearly than on social media' rather than 'clearly than social media'. Use preposition 'on' with 'social media'. Suggestions: remove fillers, use 'more clearly' for comparative, and correct preposition 'on'.
× Yes, I used to argue with my best friend. This is a big argument. But after that I try to I I mean I try to meet, they meet my friend direct directly and solve it.
✓ Yes, I used to argue with my best friend. It was a big argument. After that, I tried to meet my friend directly and resolve it.
Problems: tense inconsistency and repetition. 'Used to argue' implies past habit; follow with past 'It was a big argument.' 'I try to' should be past 'I tried to meet'. 'They meet my friend' is incorrect; use 'meet my friend directly'. 'Solve it' better as 'resolve it' in context. Suggestions: keep past tense consistent, remove repetitions, and use correct verbs.
