Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct topic sentence, organize reasons clearly, use correct grammar and clearer vocabulary. Keep it within 2–3 sentences. For example, start with a clear statement (Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends), then give one or two specific reasons using linking words (because, and) and correct verb forms.

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends because it helps me share important events and get support. For instance, I recently told them about a small accident and they gave helpful advice, which made me feel understood.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence and give specific examples. Use linking words such as 'for example' or 'so' correctly, and correct subject-verb agreement. Limit to 2–3 concise sentences.

例: I usually talk about work-related tasks and practical tips. For example, my colleagues and I compare how we handle projects at the office so I can learn better ways to improve my own performance.

提案: Answer directly, use correct number and nouns (two people, one-on-one), and explain briefly with a reason. Use a linking word like 'because' and avoid filler words. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

例: I prefer chatting with one other person because I find large groups confusing and it is harder to follow the conversation. In a one-to-one chat, the discussion feels more like a back-and-forth exchange and I can express my ideas clearly.

提案: Make a clear choice in the first sentence and give specific reasons. Use correct phrasing (face-to-face) and avoid repetition. Provide one concise supporting detail explaining why face-to-face is better.

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because it is easier to read emotions and body language. For example, when I speak in person I can see facial expressions and tone, which helps me understand opinions more deeply.

提案: Respond directly with a clear statement (e.g., 'Rarely') and then explain briefly why, using one or two coherent reasons. Use correct word forms (different ideas) and avoid repetition. Show how you resolve disagreements with a specific example or method.

例: Rarely. Although we sometimes have different ideas, we usually discuss them calmly and try to understand each other's viewpoints. For instance, when a disagreement arises we listen carefully and suggest compromises so the friendship stays strong.

× Yes, like I like chatting as a communication.

✓ Yes, I like chatting as a form of communication.

Use of 'as' + noun phrase is fine but 'as a communication' is awkward; 'a form of communication' is the correct collocation.

× I like talking with others because I want to share my recent accident and to hear others at the recent life to know yourself.

✓ I like talking with others because I want to share a recent event and hear about their recent lives to understand myself.

Sentence contained multiple problems: awkward phrasing and incorrect pronoun use. 'Recent accident' may be intended as 'recent event'; 'to hear others at the recent life' is ungrammatical. Replaced with 'hear about their recent lives'. 'to know yourself' was unclear; changed to 'understand myself' to match speaker perspective.

× Mainly I talk about to listen tasks.

✓ Mainly I talk about listening tasks.

After 'talk about' the verb should be in -ing form. 'To listen' is incorrect here; use 'listening'.

× My colleagues umm works at the same office but uh, do different different things.

✓ My colleagues work in the same office but do different things.

Subject 'colleagues' is plural so verb must be plural 'work'. Also 'at the same office' is less natural than 'in the same office'. Removed repetition 'different different'.

× So I want to know what they do and to get the tips for my recent jobs to improve that.

✓ So I want to know what they do and get tips for my current job to improve.

Parallel structure: after 'want to' use base verb 'get' (or 'to get') consistently. 'Recent jobs' is odd; 'current job' fits. 'Improve that' is vague—changed to 'improve'.

× Mindy I like chatting among two peoples.

✓ Mainly, I like chatting with two people.

'Mindy' seems a transcription error for 'mainly'. Use 'with' rather than 'among' for two people. 'Peoples' is incorrect plural; use 'people'.

× Uh, I hesitate to talk with many people because I, I'm a little bit confused when I start to chat.

✓ I hesitate to talk with many people because I get a little confused when I start to chat.

Tense and verb choice: 'I hesitate' is okay, but 'I'm a little bit confused' should be adjusted to 'I get a little confused' to describe the habitual reaction when starting to chat.

× So I like, uh, talk each other.

✓ So I like talking to one person at a time.

'Talk each other' is incorrect; English uses 'talk to each other' for reciprocal action, but here the meaning is preference for one-on-one, so 'talking to one person at a time' is clearer.

× It's like a catch ball.

✓ It's like playing catch.

'Catch ball' is a calque from other languages. The idiomatic English expression is 'playing catch' to describe back-and-forth exchange.

× I like face to face talking on the online.

✓ I prefer face-to-face talking online.

'Face to face' should be hyphenated as an adjective 'face-to-face'. 'On the online' is incorrect; use 'online'. Also 'prefer' fits question better.

× It is difficult to catch others emotions and feelings.

✓ It is difficult to perceive others' emotions and feelings.

Use possessive form 'others'' with apostrophe to show possession. 'Catch' is informal; 'perceive' or 'read' is more natural in this context.

× Uh, I have to judge. I have to judge by the only face or or towards.

✓ I have to judge by their faces or expressions.

Original is unclear and ungrammatical. 'Judge by the only face or towards' is incorrect. Use 'judge by their faces or expressions' to convey assessing people from visual cues.

× So it is difficult.

✓ So it is difficult for me.

Add 'for me' to clarify the experiencer. Tense is fine but specificity improves clarity.

× I want to know what they think deeply.

✓ I want to know what they really think.

Adverb placement and collocation: 'think deeply' usually means the person thinks in a deep way; to express desire to know true opinions, 'really think' is more natural.

× Seldom, uh, of course we have a different ideas.

✓ Seldom. Of course, we have different ideas.

Article error and plurality: 'a different ideas' mixes singular 'a' with plural 'ideas'. Remove 'a' and use plural 'different ideas'.

× So sometimes we talk, talk so deeply.

✓ So sometimes we talk very deeply.

Reduplication 'talk, talk' is nonstandard here. Use adverb 'very' or 'in depth' with 'deeply'.

× But the most important thing is to embrace other thinking and and help, help, help to use.

✓ But the most important thing is to accept others' thinking and offer help when needed.

Original is ungrammatical and repetitive. Use possessive 'others'' and a clear verb phrase 'offer help when needed' to express intention. Removed repeated words and corrected word order.
