Friends— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the comparison directly, then explain how your meeting places have changed. Use the past tense for college days and give one clear example. Finish your thought instead of ending with “and.”

例: Yes, there is quite a difference. When I was in college, I usually met my friends on campus or in the cafeteria. These days, we’re all busy with work or studies, so we tend to meet at a café or restaurant when our schedules allow.

提案: Give clear reasons and specific examples rather than saying you can explain. Use “meeting,” not “mating,” and describe what makes a place comfortable or unsuitable, such as noise, seating, or privacy.

例: Some places are better for meeting because they’re comfortable and quiet enough to talk. For example, a café with plenty of seating is ideal. A crowded or very noisy place isn’t as suitable because it’s difficult to hear each other.

提案: Your preference and reason are clear, but the final sentence is incomplete and some phrasing is unnatural. Say “one-on-one” and explain that it feels more comfortable or allows deeper conversations. Avoid repeating your preference.

例: I prefer spending time with one friend at a time. In a group, I sometimes find it difficult to talk to everyone or share personal things, so the conversations can feel less meaningful. One-on-one, I feel more comfortable and can have a deeper conversation.

提案: The answer is relevant, but “parting” should be “parties,” and the repeated phrases make it less effective. Give one reason and a specific activity, and complete your final thought.

例: Yes, I do. I enjoy having friends over for dinner or a small get-together because it’s a relaxed way to catch up. We usually chat, share food, and spend a few hours together.

提案: Explain why your own friends matter to you rather than making a general statement about judging people by their friends. Use correct subject–verb agreement (“someone has”) and replace the unclear final phrase with a specific benefit of friendship.

例: Friends are very important to me because they support me when I’m stressed and share happy moments with me. I also value having people I can trust and talk to honestly. Even a small circle of close friends can make a big difference.

提案: You give a relevant example and explain its benefit. Make the tense consistent: use the present if this is a current habit, or past if you no longer do it. Replace “stress out” with “relax” or “de-stress,” and simplify the repeated wording.

例: Yes, I often go out with my friends. We usually meet for tea in the evening and chat about what’s been happening in our lives. It helps me relax and take a break from my daily routine.

提案: You answer directly and give a reason, but “in cafe” needs an article, and the ending is informal and repetitive. Name one kind of café or restaurant and finish with a concise reason.

例: We usually meet at a café or a nearby restaurant. We like places where we can sit comfortably and talk without rushing. It’s a nice way to catch up.

提案: You include several activities and settings, but “at somewhere” is unnatural and the final clause needs a grammar correction. Say “at cafés, by the lake, or in gardens,” and use “stay connected” or “catch up.”

例: I usually meet my friends at cafés, by the lake, or in a garden. We chat, share updates, and sometimes gossip about things happening in our lives. It’s a simple way to enjoy time together and stay connected.

提案: You provide personal, specific details, but the answer is one long sentence with several grammar errors. Use “I’ve known her for a long time,” organize the details into shorter sentences, and avoid repeating “who.”

例: Yes, I have a very close friend whom I’ve known since my first day of college. We were bench partners, and later we became roommates. We’re still very close, and I care about her a lot.

× Yes, of course there is a lot of difference that I used to make them in past like in my college days and now because some everyone is engaged in something right now like someone doing jobs, someone doing college and

✓ Yes, of course. There is a lot of difference between where I used to meet my friends in the past, such as during my college days, and where I meet them now. Everyone is busy with something right now; some people are working, and others are studying.

The original answer combines several ideas without a clear grammatical structure. Use between to compare two places or situations, and separate the explanation into complete clauses. For clarity, use parallel expressions such as some people are working and others are studying.

× Yes, of course there is a lot of difference that I used to make them in past like in my college days and now because some everyone is engaged in something right now like someone doing jobs, someone doing college and

✓ Yes, of course there is a lot of difference between where I used to meet them in the past, such as during my college days, and where I meet them now.

The phrase is in the past, not in past. Use the definite article the in this fixed time expression.

× ...like someone doing jobs, someone doing college...

✓ ...such as some people working and others studying...

These phrases do not have a finite verb, so they are incomplete clauses. Add a verb, for example, some people are working and others are studying.

× Some places are suitable for mating while some places are not like I can give you some examples or a bit explanation about that.

✓ Some places are suitable for meeting, while others are not. I can give you some examples or a bit of an explanation.

In this expression, bit needs to be followed by of: a bit of an explanation. The word explanation is singular and countable here, so it also needs the article an.

× Some places are like not used to used to or not that much friendly.

✓ Some places are not that friendly.

Much does not normally modify the adjective friendly in this construction. Use not that friendly or not very friendly.

× Some places are like not used to used to or not that much friendly.

✓ Some places are not very friendly.

The repeated phrase used to used to makes the sentence ungrammatical and unclear. Use a simple, complete clause to express the idea.

× I prefer to spend time with one friend at one time and not in a group of people because I often find it harder to talk to everyone to or share personal details so I feel the conversations are shallower.

✓ I prefer to spend time with one friend at a time rather than in a group because I often find it harder to talk to everyone or share personal details, so I feel the conversations are shallower.

The extra to before or is incorrect. Use or to connect the two parallel actions: talk to everyone or share personal details.

× So I will prefer to spend time with more comfortable in open

✓ So I prefer to spend time with someone I feel more comfortable with in an open place.

The answer describes a general preference, so use the simple present prefer rather than the future form will prefer. The revised sentence also gives the preference a complete grammatical structure.

× I love inviting people and I love spending time with my people so that I can connect with them often times because as many times as

✓ I love inviting people and spending time with my friends so that I can connect with them often.

The ending because as many times as is an unfinished clause and does not complete the idea. End the sentence after a complete thought, or add a complete clause after because.

× You identify someone from their circle of friends and you will really appreciate when someone have lots of friends around them for the chick chip.

✓ You can learn about someone from their circle of friends, and you will really appreciate it when someone has lots of friends around them.

Someone is singular, so it takes the singular verb has, not have. The pronoun it is also needed as the object of appreciate before the when-clause.

× Yes I often go out with my friends like I used to go for tea breaks and for the tea at six PM with my friends having chit chat, having other conversations with which will really help me to stress out from my daily schedule.

✓ Yes, I often go out with my friends. I used to go for tea breaks and have tea with them at six p.m. We would chat and have other conversations, which helped me relax after my daily schedule.

The original is a run-on sentence, and with which will does not connect the ideas correctly. Divide the answer into complete sentences and use which to refer to the conversations.

× We often meet each other at a restaurant or sometimes in cafe so that we can talk as much as we can and connect with each other and yeah that's it

✓ We often meet each other at a restaurant or sometimes in a cafe so that we can talk as much as we want and connect with each other.

Cafe is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use a cafe when referring to any cafe.

× I usually go out with my friends at somewhere in the cafes or lakes or somewhere in the gardens to enjoy the little moments and have some conversations, daily updates and gossips so that we connected each other.

✓ I usually go out with my friends somewhere, such as to cafes, lakes, or gardens, to enjoy the little moments and share conversations, daily updates, and gossip so that we can connect with each other.

Do not use at before somewhere. Also, connect normally takes the preposition with when describing a relationship between people: connect with each other.

× I usually go out with my friends at somewhere in the cafes or lakes or somewhere in the gardens to enjoy the little moments and have some conversations, daily updates and gossips so that we connected each other.

✓ I usually go out with my friends somewhere, such as to cafes, lakes, or gardens, to enjoy the little moments and share conversations, daily updates, and gossip so that we can connect with each other.

Gossip is generally an uncountable noun when it means informal conversation, so do not add an s in this context.

× ...so that we connected each other.

✓ ...so that we can connect with each other.

The sentence describes the purpose of going out, so use can connect to express what the friends are able to do. The phrase also needs with after connect.

× I known her since very long time...

✓ I have known her for a very long time...

Use the present perfect form have known for a situation that began in the past and continues now. Known is the past participle and needs the auxiliary have.

× I known her since very long time...

✓ I have known her for a very long time...

Use for with a duration, such as a very long time. Use since with the starting point, such as since my first year of college.

× I known her since very long time...

✓ I have known her for a very long time...

The singular countable noun time needs an article in this phrase: a very long time.

× ...the one who very close to my heart...

✓ ...the one who is very close to my heart...

The clause is missing the verb is. Include a form of be between the subject who and the adjective close.

× ...we met in college at first year first day...

✓ ...we met in college on the first day of our first year...

Ordinal numbers such as first usually need the definite article the when they identify a specific day or year. The natural expression is on the first day of our first year.
