Chatting— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and avoid filler words. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Reduce repetition and correct minor grammar (e.g., "when I meet them for coffee" and "different people's perspectives").

例: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends. For example, when we meet for coffee we exchange ideas about our daily lives and discuss current events, which helps me understand different people's perspectives.

提案: Organize your answer: give a topic sentence then list typical topics with linking words. Avoid vague phrases and fillers. Use plural/singular agreement (e.g., "topics vary") and give one specific example to enrich the answer.

例: I usually chat about a variety of topics. For instance, we often talk about TV shows and work, and depending on our mood we might discuss friends' Instagram stories or current events.

提案: Provide a clear direct preference and give two concise reasons with linking words. Remove hesitations and unclear phrases. Correct grammar: "I prefer talking to one friend rather than a group" and explain specifics about comfort and interruptions.

例: I prefer talking to one friend rather than a group because I feel more comfortable sharing personal thoughts, and in groups conversations often overlap so it's hard to follow.

提案: Be specific and concise: state preference, then give clear reasons using linking words. Avoid unclear statements about "language" and repetition. Mention one example of a situation when face-to-face is better.

例: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can read expressions and body language, which helps avoid misunderstandings. For example, discussing an emotional issue is much clearer in person than over text or social media.

提案: Start with a clear statement about your usual behavior, then explain circumstances when arguments happen. Use linking words (however, when) and give a brief example. Remove fillers and finish the sentence clearly (e.g., "I dislike arguing").

例: I usually avoid arguing with friends because I prefer to listen. However, disagreements do occur when opinions differ—for example, we once argued about politics—but I try to resolve them calmly because I dislike conflict.

× I do love chatting with my friends because whenever I meet them over the coffee, we can share our thoughts and ideas, even we speak about the people, their day-to-day life, what's happening around the world.

✓ I do love chatting with my friends because whenever I meet them over coffee, we can share our thoughts and ideas; we even talk about people, their day-to-day lives, and what's happening around the world.

Use 'over coffee' not 'over the coffee' because 'coffee' is uncountable here and does not need the definite article; use 'talk about' rather than 'speak about' for natural collocation; pluralize 'day-to-day life' to 'day-to-day lives' to match plural 'people'; use a semicolon or conjunction to join clauses more clearly. Grammar problem type ID:11

× So whenever I get time to chat with my friends, I do speak about lot of different topics.

✓ So whenever I get time to chat with my friends, I speak about a lot of different topics.

Use the base verb 'speak' without the emphatic 'do' unless stressing; include the indefinite article 'a' before 'lot' to form 'a lot of'. This fixes incorrect article and unnecessary auxiliary usage. Grammar problem type ID:8

× Sometime it's related to the TV shows, uh, sometimes about the people, sometimes about work as well.

✓ Sometimes it's related to TV shows, sometimes to people, and sometimes to work as well.

Use 'sometimes' (plural) not 'sometime'; remove 'the' before 'TV shows' and 'people' because they are general; use parallel structure with 'to' repeated for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:11

× Umm, So the chat topics varies, uh, according to our mood.

✓ Umm, so the chat topics vary according to our mood.

Plural subject 'chat topics' requires plural verb 'vary' not 'varies'. Also 'so' should not be capitalized mid-sentence. Grammar problem type ID:27

× Sometimes we do speak about the Instagram stories or what is happening, uh.

✓ Sometimes we talk about Instagram stories or what is happening.

Use 'talk about' for natural phrasing and remove unnecessary auxiliary 'do'; remove 'the' before 'Instagram stories' when speaking generally. Grammar problem type ID:2

× I love to chat with my friend instead of talking, uh, speaking in Group because I always feel more comfortable to share my thoughts with my friends.

✓ I prefer to chat with a friend instead of speaking in a group because I always feel more comfortable sharing my thoughts with friends.

Use 'a friend' for one friend; 'group' should be lowercase and preceded by 'a'; 'prefer to chat with' is more natural than 'love to chat with' in this contrast; use gerund 'sharing' after 'comfortable'; remove redundant 'my' before 'friends'. Grammar problem type ID:22

× When I'm in Group, I'm bit annoyed uh, because there are several people talk at a time and, and sometimes there are umm, no uh, what to say?

✓ When I'm in a group, I'm a bit annoyed because several people talk at the same time and sometimes there is nothing to say.

Add article 'a' before 'group'; include 'a' before 'bit'; use 'several people talk at the same time' for clarity; replace 'there are ... no ... what to say' with 'there is nothing to say' to correct pronoun and existential structure. Grammar problem type ID:12

× Uh, they do not have this the same.

✓ They do not feel the same way.

Original is ungrammatical; replace with natural expression 'feel the same way' to convey the intended meaning and correct pronoun usage. Grammar problem type ID:12

× I like to communicate face to face instead of speaking via my social media because face to face you can see the person, their expression, gestures and even you can understand them more.

✓ I like to communicate face to face instead of via social media because face to face you can see the person, their expressions and gestures, and you can understand them better.

Remove 'my' before 'social media' for general use; pluralize 'expression' to 'expressions'; use 'understand them better' rather than 'more'. Grammar problem type ID:22

× But via social media I don't think so.

✓ But I don't think so when it comes to social media.

Reorder for natural English: 'I don't think so' needs context; 'when it comes to social media' clarifies meaning and corrects awkward prepositional placement. Grammar problem type ID:11

× The all all people prefer to have a chat video live, so instead they do chat and you just don't know sometimes the language.

✓ Many people prefer live video chats, but when they chat this way you sometimes cannot understand the language.

Remove redundant 'the all all'; use 'many people' for generalization; 'live video chats' is natural; reorganize sentence to clarify cause and effect and correct word order. Grammar problem type ID:26

× I do not argue with friends, I listen to them.

✓ I do not argue with friends; I listen to them.

Mainly punctuation: two independent clauses should be separated by a semicolon or period. The tense is acceptable; keep present simple for habitual actions. Grammar problem type ID:6

× Uh, but sometimes there might be argument if there is a differences in a topic.

✓ But sometimes there might be an argument if there are differences on a topic.

Use 'an argument' with article 'an'; 'differences' should be plural to match 'there are'; use preposition 'on' or 'about' a topic. Grammar problem type ID:22

× Sometimes the point of view varies.

✓ Sometimes points of view vary.

Pluralize for generality and remove 'the' to express general statements; keep verb 'vary' to agree with plural subject. Grammar problem type ID:11

× So people uh, do not agree with all the points.

✓ So people do not agree with all the points.

Remove filler 'uh' for clarity; sentence structure otherwise fine. Grammar problem type ID:26

× Uh, so sometimes there might be a misunderstanding and we do argue, but I really hate.

✓ So sometimes there might be a misunderstanding and we argue, but I really hate arguing.

Remove auxiliary 'do' which is unnecessary in affirmative present; complete the final clause by adding the gerund 'arguing' to show what is hated; ensure tense consistency. Grammar problem type ID:6
