Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid vague or awkward phrases like "make it a law to talk" and repetition.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends. For example, we often catch up about recent events, which helps us stay close and supports our friendship.

提案: Good content and specificity. Improve coherence by using a linking phrase and slightly simplifying vocabulary (e.g., "recent events" instead of "recent occurrences"). Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

例: I usually talk about recent events. For example, when I changed jobs I explained my reasons and goals, and discussed what I hope to achieve at my new workplace.

提案: Fix grammar and clarity. Use one clear reason and a concise example. Avoid repetition and correct errors like "the com the conversation digress."

例: I prefer chatting one-on-one because I can focus on the topic the other person is discussing. In groups the conversation often digresses, which I find distracting.

提案: Use natural phrasing and correct grammar (e.g., "face-to-face" and "strengthens"). One brief reason and a simple supporting example are enough; avoid vague references like "scientific researches."

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because meeting in person strengthens our emotional connection. For instance, having coffee together helps us understand each other's feelings better.

提案: Good structure and content. Make small grammar improvements ("each other's opinions") and you could add one short example to make it more vivid.

例: Yes, we often have friendly debates about politics, science, and the economy. For example, last week we discussed the impact of new technology on jobs and enjoyed hearing different viewpoints.

× Yes, I like chatting with my friends and I usually talk about what happened recently.

✓ Yes, I like chatting with my friends and I usually talk about what has happened recently.

The phrase 'what happened recently' can be improved using the present perfect 'has happened' to emphasize recent events that have relevance to the present. Use present perfect when time is recent and connected to now. Suggestion: Use 'has happened recently' for events with present relevance.

× Talking with someone regularly strengthens the relationship with each other or it is a good habit to make it a law to talk with someone regularly.

✓ Talking with someone regularly strengthens relationships and it is a good habit to maintain.

The original sentence is wordy and contains odd phrasing ('with each other' after 'relationship' is redundant; 'make it a law to talk' is unnatural). Simplify and remove redundancy. Suggest using 'strengthens relationships' and 'good habit to maintain.'

× I usually talk about the recent occurrences, for example, when I changed my job, I talked about the motivations and the aspirations, why I changed my job and what I would like to do in the next workplace.

✓ I usually talk about recent events. For example, when I changed my job, I talked about my motivations and aspirations, why I made the change, and what I would like to do in my next workplace.

Use 'recent events' instead of 'recent occurrences' for naturalness. 'The motivations and the aspirations' should be 'my motivations and aspirations' to use correct possessive. 'Why I changed my job' is acceptable but 'why I made the change' avoids repetition. 'The next workplace' should be 'my next workplace.' Ensure consistent possessives and natural phrasing.

× I prefer to chat with only one friend because I can concentrate on the topic which my counterpart is talking about.

✓ I prefer to chat with only one friend because I can concentrate on the topic my counterpart is talking about.

This sentence is mostly correct grammatically; remove unnecessary relative pronoun 'which' for natural English. No verb form change needed. Suggestion: omit 'which' in restrictive clauses when following noun is object of clause.

× If I am talking with a number of people, sometimes the com the conversation digress which is a nuisance for me.

✓ If I am talking with a number of people, sometimes the conversation digresses, which is a nuisance for me.

The original contains a typo 'the com the conversation' and incorrect verb form 'digress' should be 'digresses' to agree with singular subject 'conversation.' Also add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause 'which is a nuisance for me.'

× I prefer to communicate vis A vis because meeting in person strengthen our psychological bond with each other.

✓ I prefer to communicate vis-à-vis because meeting in person strengthens our psychological bond with each other.

Use correct spelling 'vis-à-vis' and add the third-person singular 'strengthens' to agree with 'meeting.' This is a subject-verb agreement (also ID 27) but primary issue is preposition/phrase usage and spelling. Suggestion: ensure correct idiomatic expression and verb agreement.

× Scientific researches show that meeting regularly bolster the human relationship with each other.

✓ Scientific research shows that meeting regularly bolsters human relationships.

'Scientific researches' is unidiomatic; use uncountable 'scientific research' or 'scientific studies.' 'Show' should be 'shows' to agree with singular 'research.' 'Bolster' should be 'bolsters' to agree with singular subject 'meeting' or 'bolster' with plural subject. Also 'the human relationship with each other' is awkward; use 'human relationships.' Suggestion: use correct noun forms and agree verbs.

× Yes, I often argue with my friends about topics like politics, scientific developments, and economic trends.

✓ Yes, I often argue with my friends about topics like politics, scientific developments, and economic trends.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. It uses pronouns appropriately. No further correction necessary.

× We usually have friendly debates because we enjoy hearing different viewpoints and challenging each other's opinion.

✓ We usually have friendly debates because we enjoy hearing different viewpoints and challenging each other's opinions.

Use plural 'opinions' because 'each other' refers to multiple people, and 'opinions' fits with 'viewpoints.' This is an adjective/noun number consistency issue. Suggestion: pluralize 'opinion' to 'opinions' for naturalness.
