Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Cải thiện: (1) Trả lời trực tiếp, ngắn gọn bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng; (2) Sửa ngữ pháp cơ bản (thì, danh từ/động từ, mạo từ); (3) Giảm từ dư thừa và sắp xếp lại ý theo mạch lạc; (4) Dùng từ vựng phù hợp như “spend time”, “have fun”, “close friends”. Ví dụ cố gắng không quá 4-5 câu và dùng liên từ đơn giản để nối ý.

例: Yes, I do. I often spend my free time chatting with my close friends because it’s enjoyable and helps me relax. For example, we usually talk about weekend plans or funny things that happened at school.

提案: Cải thiện: (1) Bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề rõ ràng; (2) Cung cấp chi tiết cụ thể hơn (ví dụ: subjects, favourite teams, particular problems); (3) Dùng liên từ (for example, for instance, also) để làm rõ các ví dụ; (4) Sử dụng danh từ/phrasal verbs chuẩn như “talk about”, “share experiences”.

例: We usually talk about our studies, such as upcoming exams or group projects. We also discuss football, especially recent matches, and everyday issues like homework or family matters. For instance, yesterday we shared tips for preparing for exams.

提案: Cải thiện: (1) Trả lời rõ ràng ngay đầu; (2) Sửa cấu trúc số nhiều/đại từ (people is → people are, each person); (3) Giải thích lí do cụ thể và ngắn gọn; (4) Dùng liên từ/phrases như “because”, “as a result”, “for example”.

例: I prefer chatting in a group because conversations are livelier and we can hear many opinions. For example, when we discuss travel plans, each person suggests different places and that helps us choose the best option.

提案: Cải thiện: (1) Trả lời trực tiếp: choose one option and state clear reason(s); (2) Tránh từ thừa và sửa từ vựng sai (height? bond of earth? → meaningful phrases like “more natural”, “stronger bonds”); (3) Nêu ví dụ cụ thể về lợi ích (body language, tone); (4) Giữ tối đa 3 câu, dùng linking word như “because” hoặc “so”.

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because it feels more natural and lets me read body language. For example, speaking in person helps me understand a friend’s tone and makes our relationship stronger.

提案: Cải thiện: (1) Trả lời ngắn gọn và rõ ràng; (2) Giải thích bản chất của “argue” (tranh luận nhẹ vs cãi nhau) để tránh hiểu nhầm; (3) Cung cấp ví dụ cụ thể và cảm xúc phù hợp; (4) Sử dụng từ vựng chính xác như “discuss”, “disagree”, “debate” khi nói về tranh luận không tiêu cực.

例: Yes, we often disagree about small things like study schedules or sports, but it’s usually friendly debate. For example, we might argue about which study method works best, and afterwards we feel satisfied because we learn from each other.

× Yes, definitely when I have few times I often chatting with my friends because this is very exciting and it make me fun.

✓ Yes, definitely. When I have a little free time, I often chat with my friends because it is very exciting and it makes me happy.

Use of countable/plural nouns and verb forms: 'few times' is incorrect here; use 'a little free time' or 'a few times' depending on meaning. 'I often chatting' lacks auxiliary/incorrect verb form; should be 'I often chat'. 'it make me fun' has incorrect verb agreement and word choice; use 'it makes me happy'. Suggestions: replace 'few times' with 'a little free time' if meaning free time, use base verb after adverb 'often', ensure subject-verb agreement ('it makes'), and use appropriate adjective ('happy' not 'fun').

× So I especially with my best friends and I think.

✓ So I especially enjoy chatting with my best friends, I think.

The sentence is incomplete and missing the main verb; 'I especially with my best friends' lacks a verb phrase. Correct by adding 'enjoy chatting with' to form a complete clause. Also combine or separate clauses properly. Suggestion: always include a verb and object to complete the thought.

× We usually chat about study, about football and other problems like daily life, so and share our experience and I think it's very interesting.

✓ We usually chat about our studies, football, and other daily life issues, and we share our experiences; I think it's very interesting.

Preposition and noun form errors: 'chat about study' should be 'chat about our studies' or 'studying'; 'other problems like daily life' is awkward—use 'other daily life issues'. Also coordinate clauses with proper conjunctions and punctuation. Use plural 'experiences' and add subject 'we' for 'share'. Suggestion: use appropriate prepositions and plural forms for general activities, and structure the list clearly.

× MMM, I prefer to chat with a group of people because many people is more funny.

✓ I prefer to chat with a group of people because many people are more fun.

Subject-verb agreement: 'many people is' is incorrect; plural subject requires 'are'. Also 'funny' describes something that causes laughter; 'fun' is better for enjoying. Suggestion: match verb to plural subject and choose correct adjective ('fun' vs 'funny').

× Umm, sometimes uh, each people talk about their experience and the others listens.

✓ Sometimes, each person talks about his or her experience, and the others listen.

Pronoun and noun choice: 'each people' is ungrammatical; use 'each person' or 'every person'. 'Their' can be used as singular gender-neutral, but if formal, use 'his or her'. 'Talk' needs third-person singular 'talks'. 'the others listens' should be 'the others listen' (plural verb). Suggestion: use 'each person' with 'talks' and ensure verb agreement for 'the others'.

× It's very useful.

✓ It is very useful.

Contraction expansion not necessary, but original is acceptable. No tense error; offered correction just ensures formality. Suggestion: keep 'It's' or 'It is' depending on formality.

× I prefer to communicate face to face because it is uh, height and uh, somebody can contact directly which improve my communication skill and increase the bond of earth.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because it is more direct, and someone can contact me directly, which improves my communication skills and strengthens our bond.

Preposition and word choice errors: 'face to face' is correct as phrase. 'it is uh, height' is meaningless—replace with 'more direct'. 'somebody can contact directly' needs object 'me' and 'someone' fits. 'which improve' requires third-person singular 'improves' agreeing with the singular clause, and 'communication skill' should be plural 'communication skills'. 'increase the bond of earth' is incorrect phrasing; use 'strengthens our bond' or 'strengthens relationships'. Suggestion: clarify intended meaning, ensure verb agreement, include object of 'contact', and choose idiomatic expressions.

× Yes, definitely. I argue with my friends almost every day.

✓ Yes, definitely. I argue with my friends almost every day.

The sentence uses present simple to express habitual action, which is correct; no past tense needed. Left unchanged. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions.

× It's about daily problems like study or sport, and I feel happiest and satisfied when I argue with my friends.

✓ It's about daily issues like studying or sports, and I feel happy and satisfied when I talk with my friends.

Word form and nuance: 'study' should be 'studying' or 'studies'; 'sport' plural 'sports' is more natural. 'I feel happiest and satisfied' is awkward—use 'I feel happy and satisfied' or 'happiest' only if comparing. Also 'argue' implies conflict; if meaning discuss, use 'talk' or 'discuss'. Suggestion: use correct noun/gerund forms and appropriate adjectives; choose verbs matching intended meaning.
