Why are some places suitable for meeting while others are not?
Puntuación: 60.0Sugerencia: 理由を述べる際に文法(複数形や語順)と語彙を正確に使い、同じ語句の繰り返し(background noise noise)を避けてください。まず一般的な結論を述べ、次に具体的な理由と短い例を加える構成を心がけると自然になります。接続詞(because, so, therefore)を使って論理を明確にしましょう。

✓ The places where I meet friends are totally different from the past because right now my friends are at my workplace, so when I work every day, I always meet them there.
The verb must agree with the subject in number. 'Places' is plural so use 'are' (ID 27). Also maintain consistent tense: present for current habit (ID 6). 'My friends' is plural so use 'are' not 'is'. Use 'meet them there' to include object pronoun (ID 12). Suggestions: identify subject number and keep tense consistent.
× I meet them there like chatting with colleagues or eating out with them.
✓ I meet them there, chatting with colleagues or eating out with them.
The original sentence used 'like chatting' which is acceptable but punctuation and structure were awkward. Use a participle phrase 'chatting' to describe what you do when you meet (ID 2 and 8). Suggestion: attach '-ing' phrase directly to main clause and add a comma for clarity.
× Some places like noisy places at the cafe or at the shopping mall is not suitable for meetings because background noise noise is bothering to the meeting and we can't pay attention to what others are saying.
✓ Some places, such as noisy cafes or shopping malls, are not suitable for meeting because background noise distracts us and we can't pay attention to what others are saying.
Use 'such as' or list nouns without repeated 'places' and use proper prepositions (ID 11). 'Cafe' and 'shopping mall' do not need 'at' here. 'Is' should be 'are' to agree with plural subject (ID 27). 'Background noise distracts us' uses correct verb and object; 'bothering to the meeting' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: simplify phrases and use active verbs like 'distracts'.

✓ I prefer to spend time with one friend because when I'm in a big group I find it hard to pay attention to what others are doing, whereas when I'm with a friend I can focus on him.
Use 'find it hard' to express difficulty (ID 26). Remove repeated words and unclear 'A1 friend'. Use 'whereas' for contrast (ID 16). 'Be focused on' is better as 'focus on' (ID 13). Suggestion: avoid repetitions and use common expressions like 'find it hard'.
× I don't often invite my friends to my house because in my house, my house is a little bit messy. I don't have enough time to tidy up so.

× We tend to go to local shop, local restaurants or shopping center.
✓ We tend to go to local shops, local restaurants, or shopping centers.

× Last week we tried new Ramen Ramen store, which was very good.
✓ Last week we tried a new ramen shop, which was very good.
Use 'a new ramen shop' (article + noun) and avoid repetition 'Ramen Ramen' (ID 26 and 22). Suggestion: use common collocations like 'ramen shop'.

✓ I often meet my friends at the workplace because most of them are my colleagues, so I often meet there or, after work, I go out with my friends to local restaurants.
Add definite article 'the workplace' and avoid repeating 'my colleagues' (ID 27 and 17). Clarify pronoun 'them' for readability (ID 12). Suggestion: use articles and pronouns to avoid repetition.
× I'm a big fan of ramen and one of my friends also likes ramen so much so we go to ramen store ramen place and try new taste and have a good time there.
✓ I'm a big fan of ramen and one of my friends also likes it a lot, so we go to ramen shops and try new flavors and have a good time there.
Use 'likes it' as pronoun reference (ID 12). Use plural 'shops' for general habit and 'try new flavors' for natural collocation. Use '-ing' forms appropriately; original had repetition and awkward nouns (ID 8). Suggestion: use pronouns to avoid repetition and common collocations like 'try new flavors'.

Use consistent tense: present perfect 'I've known' is correct for duration (ID 5). Remove doubled words 'we we' and 'I I'. Use 'keep in touch' without 'are' (ID 6 and 26). Split into clear sentences and correct past action 'called' and 'messaged' kept simple past (ID 5). Suggestion: avoid repetition, keep tense consistent and proofread for duplicate words.
