Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is unclear and contains many irrelevant fragments. Keep responses focused: start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No + brief reason), then add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid unrelated phrases and check grammar (tenses, articles, and word choice).

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends, especially after a stressful day. For example, we often talk about recent events in our lives and share funny stories, which helps me relax.

提案: This answer is relevant and mostly clear but a little repetitive. Improve coherence by using linking words (for example, 'also' or 'sometimes') and give one specific example to make it more vivid (name a restaurant or an activity). Watch plural/singular (restaurants) and article use.

例: We usually talk about recent events in our lives, such as family matters and work. Sometimes we also plan outings, for example, we recently discussed trying a new Italian restaurant downtown.

提案: Good direct answer but improve grammar and fluency. Begin with a clear topic sentence ('I prefer...') and use linking words to explain reasons. Avoid sentence fragments and refine phrasing ('discuss personal topics').

例: I prefer talking one-on-one with a close friend because I often need useful advice. This allows us to have meaningful conversations about personal topics without interruptions.

提案: The main idea is clear but the answer has unclear phrases and grammar mistakes. Use concise, correct sentences and add a specific reason or example. Replace vague words ('sons understanding') with clear expressions ('misunderstandings').

例: I prefer face-to-face communication, especially with close friends, because it's easier to read emotions and avoid misunderstandings. For example, when we meet in person I can tell if a friend is upset even if they try to hide it.

提案: The response answers the question and is natural, but reduce filler words ('uh') and improve phrasing ('escalating into serious arguments'). Add a brief example of a small disagreement and how you resolve it to make the answer more specific.

例: Not very often. We sometimes have small disagreements, like differing plans for the weekend, but we avoid letting them escalate into serious arguments and usually resolve them quickly by compromising.

× Schedule this vacation on my way outside your shopping.

✓ I schedule this vacation around my shopping trips.

Original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear in structure. Rewriting into a clear subject-verb-object structure ('I schedule this vacation...') and using the prepositional phrase 'around my shopping trips' clarifies meaning. Suggestion: state subject and verb explicitly and use correct prepositions.

× Yeah, especially with my clothes friends when I have had a tough, stressful day and we talk about what's been going on nowadays and talk about our daily life sometimes share foreign stories and have break in together.

✓ Yes, especially with my close friends when I have had a tough, stressful day; we talk about what has been going on recently, talk about our daily lives, sometimes share funny stories, and take a break together.

Multiple pronoun and word-choice errors: 'clothes friends' should be 'close friends' (word choice), 'nowadays' is better as 'recently' for this context, 'daily life' should be plural 'daily lives' to match plural subject, and 'foreign stories' likely meant 'funny stories'. 'Have break in' is incorrect; use 'take a break together'. Suggestion: match plural nouns to plural subjects and choose appropriate vocabulary.

× We usually talk about what's been going on in our lives and about family and our work, and sometimes we talk about restaurant and places and we would like to go together and share our stories.

✓ We usually talk about what has been going on in our lives, family, and our work, and sometimes we talk about restaurants and places we would like to visit together and share our stories.

Preposition and article issues: 'talk about restaurant and places' should be 'restaurants and places' (plural) and 'go together' is better as 'visit together'. Also reduce repetition by combining phrases. Suggestion: use plural for general nouns and 'visit' for places.

× 1 friend especially I need useful advice.

✓ I prefer one friend, especially when I need useful advice.

Original lacks proper word order and subject position. Starts with '1 friend' which is numerically inappropriate and missing context. Reordering to 'I prefer one friend' and adding 'when' clarifies the condition. Suggestion: use words instead of digits in speech and follow subject-verb order.

× Or may I need meaningful conversation and we can discuss about our personal topics without being interrupted?

✓ Or I may want a meaningful conversation so we can discuss personal topics without being interrupted.

Problems: 'may I need' inverts modal and subject inappropriately; 'discuss about' is incorrect—'discuss' does not take 'about'. Also a question mark is unnecessary because it's a statement of preference. Suggestion: use correct verb patterns ('may want') and omit 'about' after 'discuss'.

× Actually I prefer face to face communication especially with my close friends.

✓ Actually, I prefer face-to-face communication, especially with my close friends.

Minor punctuation and hyphenation: 'face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face' when used as an adjective or compound noun. Suggestion: use hyphens for compound modifiers and add commas for clarity.

× It helps us to stay connected and also we can understand our feelings, emotions and reactions much more easier without and sons understanding.

✓ It helps us stay connected, and we can understand our feelings, emotions, and reactions much more easily and understand each other better.

Errors: 'much more easier' is ungrammatical—use 'much easier' or 'more easily' (adverb). 'without and sons understanding' is unintelligible; likely meant 'and understand each other'. Also 'helps us to stay' can be 'helps us stay'. Suggestion: use 'easily' for how we understand and avoid double comparatives like 'more easier'.

× Not very often, to be honest, uh, but sometimes you have small disagreements, but we don't like small disagreements and issues towering to, uh, serious arguments.

✓ Not very often, to be honest, but sometimes we have small disagreements; we don't like small issues escalating into serious arguments.

Person inconsistency: speaker shifts to 'you' instead of 'we'; maintain 'we'. 'Towering to' is incorrect collocation—use 'escalating into' or 'turning into'. Suggestion: keep consistent pronouns and use correct phrasal verbs for escalation.

× And we move on, probably quite, uh, quickly.

✓ And we usually move on fairly quickly.

Awkward adverb placement and filler words: remove fillers 'uh' and place adverb 'fairly' before 'quickly' or use 'quite quickly'. 'Probably quite' is redundant; 'usually' fits better. Suggestion: remove fillers and choose a single adverb for clarity.
