Chatting— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and avoid filler words (uh, umm). Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Keep it within 2–4 sentences and use linking words if needed.

예시: Yes, I do. I usually spend three to four hours a day chatting with friends, mainly about our favorite movies and new cosmetics. Recently we discussed a popular film and compared skincare brands, which made the conversation fun and useful.

제안: Answer directly and give specific, correctly named examples. Reduce hesitations and organize details with linking words like 'and' or 'for example'.

예시: I usually talk about movies, current affairs and beauty products. For example, we recently discussed a new film and compared cosmetic brands such as Dior and Roma, and we also talk about news stories that affect our daily lives.

제안: Clarify your preference with a clear topic sentence and give a brief reason. Avoid unclear phrases like 'sum up my best friends' and reduce fillers.

예시: I prefer one-on-one chats for personal conversations because they feel more private. However, I join group chats when working on projects or assignments since group discussions help divide tasks and share ideas.

제안: Give a complete, well-structured answer with a reason and a short example. Correct grammar (meet → meet up) and finish your example sentence. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example'.

예시: I prefer face-to-face communication because it feels more personal and meaningful. For example, my friends and I often meet up at a coffee shop or restaurant to talk about our plans and catch up in person.

제안: Give a clear yes/no and explain briefly with a reason and an example. Avoid contradictory or unclear phrasing. Use correct grammar and reduce hesitations.

예시: Not really — we rarely argue because we respect each other's opinions and try to resolve disagreements calmly. For instance, when we disagree about plans, we discuss options and often compromise on a solution.

× I usually spend around 3 to 4 hours per day to umm, chat with my friends.

✓ I usually spend around three to four hours per day chatting with my friends.

Use of 'spend ... to chat' is incorrect here; after 'spend' a verb should be in the -ing form. Also write numerals as words in formal speech. Suggestion: use 'spend ... chatting' to show duration of an activity.

× we usually talk about umm, our favorite movies, our favorites, umm uh, cosmetics.

✓ We usually talk about our favorite movies and cosmetics.

Redundant and awkward phrasing 'our favorites, cosmetics' is unclear. Combine parallel items with 'and' and avoid repeating 'our'. Capitalization: sentences should start with a capital letter. Suggestion: list items clearly and concisely.

× I usually chat about my favorite movies, umm, the umm, current affairs and some kind of umm our favorite cosmetics such as what else or Dior and Romaine.

✓ I usually chat about my favorite movies, current affairs, and cosmetics such as Chanel, Dior, and Romaine.

Awkward phrasing 'some kind of our favorite cosmetics such as what else or' is ungrammatical. Use parallel list structure and proper brand names; remove filler words. Suggestion: use commas to separate items and include 'and' before the last item.

× I just chat in a group of people when we have a project or a assignment to do together.

✓ I just chat in a group when we have a project or an assignment to do together.

Use 'a group' is acceptable but 'a group of people' is wordy; more natural is 'in a group'. 'a assignment' is incorrect: before a vowel sound use 'an'. Suggestion: use 'an assignment' and simplify 'in a group'.

× And umm, by contrast, I usually chat with my friends and sum up my best friends.

✓ By contrast, I usually chat one-on-one with my closest friends.

Original 'chat with my friends and sum up my best friends' is unclear and ungrammatical. 'Sum up my best friends' does not fit context. Replace with a clear phrase 'one-on-one with my closest friends' to express preference. Suggestion: state contrast clearly and avoid filler words.

× For example, me and my friends often have a meet at a coffee shop or as a restaurant to Yep about our.

✓ For example, my friends and I often meet at a coffee shop or a restaurant to talk together.

Pronoun order: use 'my friends and I' not 'me and my friends'. 'have a meet' is incorrect; use 'meet'. 'as a restaurant' is wrong; use 'at a restaurant'. 'Yep about our' is unintelligible; replace with 'to talk together' or specify topics. Suggestion: use correct pronoun order, collocations (meet at), and complete clauses.

× I do prefer to communicate face to face.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face.

'Do' is unnecessary for affirmative statements in present simple unless used for emphasis. Use the simpler 'I prefer'. Suggestion: remove unnecessary auxiliary verbs unless emphasizing.

× Umm, I really agree with my friends, uh, just for, uh, some crazy reason.

✓ I usually agree with my friends, except occasionally for some silly reasons.

'I really agree with my friends for some crazy reason' is awkward and unclear. 'Agree with' is fine; use 'usually' to indicate frequency and 'except occasionally' to indicate exceptions. 'Crazy reason' is informal; use 'silly reasons' or 'minor reasons'. Suggestion: clarify frequency and reason and avoid excessive fillers.

× And I think we not agree too much because we, umm, it's very nice to each other.

✓ And I think we do not argue much because we are very nice to each other.

'We not agree too much' is ungrammatical; use 'we do not argue much' or 'we do not disagree often'. 'It's very nice to each other' misuses 'it' and adjective; correct is 'we are very nice to each other'. Suggestion: use proper auxiliary 'do' for negation and match subject and verb.
