Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and natural: avoid filler words like “like” and repeat phrases. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use varied vocabulary (e.g., "social media platforms", "video calls", "instant messaging") and a linking word to connect ideas.

例: Yes — I enjoy chatting with my friends on social media platforms, especially through video calls and instant messaging. We usually talk about our schoolwork, for example upcoming exams and study materials, which helps us support each other.

提案: Avoid repetition and use one clear topic sentence followed by specific details. Use linking words (e.g., “for example”, “so”) correctly and choose precise vocabulary like "revision tips", "exam preparation". Keep it within 2–4 sentences.

例: We usually talk about our schoolwork; for example, we exchange revision tips and reminders about upcoming exams. This helps us stay connected and support each other during busy study periods.

提案: Make the response more fluent and avoid hesitations and repeated words. Begin with a clear preference, give a reason with a linking phrase (e.g., "because"), and end with a brief reinforcement. Use phrases like "one-on-one" or "private conversation".

例: I prefer chatting one-on-one because I share personal things and don’t want them to be overheard by a group. For that reason, private conversations feel safer and more comfortable.

提案: Give a direct answer first, then contrast with specific advantages using linking words like "however" or "although." Avoid unnecessary fillers and redundancies. Use accurate phrasing such as "face-to-face communication" and "more meaningful".

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because it feels more meaningful and helps build stronger relationships. However, social media is convenient for quick updates and staying in touch when meeting in person isn’t possible.

提案: Be precise about frequency and causes, and avoid repetition and intensifiers like "really, really." Start with a topic sentence, give specific examples of typical disagreements, and explain the positive outcome using a linking word such as "because" or "so."

例: Yes, we sometimes have light arguments about things like study plans or shared responsibilities. However, we usually resolve them quickly, which actually strengthens our friendship because we communicate openly and learn from each other.

× I really enjoy chatting with my friends via like social medias or any kind of like social platforms such as video calls or instant messaging.

✓ I really enjoy chatting with my friends via social media or other social platforms such as video calls or instant messaging.

Use 'via social media' (uncountable) not 'social medias'; remove filler 'like' for formality and clarity; use 'other' instead of 'any kind of like'. This corrects preposition and countability usage and makes the sentence natural. Also corresponds to 'Article errors' for pluralization but mainly preposition/countability.

× We often discuss our academic performance at school like the exams or the materials.

✓ We often discuss our academic performance at school, such as exams or course materials.

Use plural 'exams' and 'course materials' for general items; 'such as' is more natural than 'like' in formal examples. This fixes pluralization and word choice. (Grammar problem type ID: 1)

× Normally we often discuss our academic performances at school like for example we often text each other about the upcoming exams or about our tips on the studies and this way in enables us to keep connected as well as stay closer.

✓ Normally we discuss our academic performance at school; for example, we often text each other about upcoming exams or study tips, and this helps us stay connected and closer.

Use 'academic performance' (uncountable) instead of 'performances'; remove repeated 'often'; 'study tips' is natural; 'this helps us stay connected and closer' uses correct verb and prepositions. Corrects preposition and plurality misuse and improves sentence structure.

× I could gravitate towards chatting with only one friend because I often tell them about my secrets and honestly, I do not want my secret to be revealed to everyone else like a like a group of people.

✓ I tend to gravitate toward chatting with only one friend because I often tell that friend my secrets, and I do not want them revealed to a group of people.

Use singular 'that friend' when referring to a single person, or keep plural pronoun 'them' but adjust antecedent. Avoid filler 'like a like a'. 'Gravitate toward' is more natural than 'could gravitate towards' in this context. Fixes incorrect pronoun reference and redundancy.

× So I often really prefer to chat to only one friend.

✓ So I really prefer to chat with only one friend.

Use 'chat with' not 'chat to'. Remove extra adverb 'often' if redundant with 'prefer'. This corrects preposition usage.

× I could rather to interact face to face instead of via social media like but which we must admit the advantages of social media like the convenience, but face to face communications really strengthens our life relationships and keep us more connected compared to social media.

✓ I prefer to interact face to face instead of via social media, although we must admit the advantages of social media, such as convenience; face-to-face communication really strengthens our personal relationships and keeps us more connected compared to social media.

'Prefer' fits better than 'could rather to'; remove filler 'like'; use 'although' to introduce the concession; hyphenate 'face-to-face' and use singular 'communication' with singular verb 'keeps'. Corrects conjunction misuse, verb agreement, and wording.

× Yes, from time to time we often have light heated arguments about everything, like our stuff or our scores at school.

✓ Yes, from time to time we have light-hearted arguments about things like our belongings or our scores at school.

Use 'from time to time' or 'often' but not both; 'light-hearted' is the correct adjective; 'stuff' is informal—use 'belongings' or 'things'. This corrects tense/adverb redundancy and adjective form.

× But we often resolve really, really quickly, and from that experience we often stay more closer to each other.

✓ But we often resolve them very quickly, and because of that we often become closer to each other.

Replace repeated 'really, really' with 'very' for formality; include object 'them' for 'resolve'; use 'become closer' not 'stay more closer'. This fixes adverb usage and comparative construction.
