Chatting— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be clear and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, avoid filler words and misused phrases, correct grammar (e.g., "I was really into" not "wrong lot"), and keep the answer within 2–3 sentences. Add a brief reason using a linking word (e.g., "because").

예시: I don't chat with my friends as much nowadays. Because I'm very busy with work and studies, I usually have little free time to message, although I used to chat a lot when I was younger.

제안: Give a clear topic sentence and then one or two specific examples. Reduce fillers like "uh" and ensure coherence with linking words (e.g., "for example", "so"). Expand slightly on the example to show detail (what you planned or who went).

예시: We usually chat about weekend plans and activities. For example, last month we used a group chat to plan a trip to Goa, deciding dates and who would drive, which made organizing much easier.

제안: Start with a direct topic sentence and use linking words to contrast choices (e.g., "however"). Avoid unfinished phrases at the end; complete your thought about one-on-one chats with a clear object (e.g., "one friend").

예시: It depends on the situation: I like both. If we need to organize an event, I prefer group chats so everyone can contribute; however, for personal matters or to share feelings, I prefer talking one-on-one with a close friend.

제안: Use a concise topic sentence and correct grammar (remove duplicated phrases). Support with a specific reason and a brief example of a situation where face-to-face is better. Use linking words like "because" and "for example."

예시: I prefer face-to-face communication because it's easier to read facial expressions and tone of voice. For example, when discussing something important, meeting in person helps avoid misunderstandings.

제안: Give a clear, direct answer first (e.g., "No, I rarely argue"). Avoid idioms you can't use accurately and correct grammar ("cool as a cucumber"). Provide a concise example showing how you handle disagreements and use linking words like "so" or "for instance."

예시: No, I rarely argue with friends because I try to stay calm and listen to others. For instance, when a disagreement breaks out in our group chat, I usually suggest a calm discussion to resolve it rather than taking sides.

× I'm wrong lot into chatting with friends nowadays because I don't have enough time to chat with the people.

✓ I'm not into chatting with friends nowadays because I don't have enough time to chat with people.

The original uses 'wrong lot' which is incorrect and likely a mistaken phrase. 'Not into' is the correct expression to indicate lack of interest. Also 'the people' is unnecessary; use 'people' or 'my friends'. Suggestion: replace 'I'm wrong lot into' with 'I'm not into' and remove the definite article before 'people'.

× However, I was very much interested in chatting with my friends when I was young, but uh, now I don't.

✓ However, I was very interested in chatting with my friends when I was young, but now I don't.

Use simple past 'was' to describe past interest which is correct; remove filler 'very much' placed awkwardly — 'very interested' is natural. Remove filler 'uh' and the extra comma. Keep contrast with 'but now I don't.'

× I chat about a lot of things with my friends, especially, uh, we make plans for the weekends, uh, in the chat room because it is very convenient and uh, one can reply at any time.

✓ I chat about a lot of things with my friends; for example, we make plans for the weekend in the chat room because it is very convenient and everyone can reply at any time.

Use 'for example' rather than 'especially' to introduce a specific case. 'Weekends' should be 'the weekend' or 'weekend' when referring to a plan for an upcoming weekend. 'One can' is formal and less natural; use 'everyone can'. Remove filler 'uh' and combine clauses more clearly.

× For example, while we were planning to go to Goa.

✓ For example, once we were planning to go to Goa.

The original is a sentence fragment; it lacks a main clause. Adding 'once' and integrating it into the previous sentence or completing the thought fixes sentence structure. Make it part of the previous sentence or say 'For example, once we were planning to go to Goa.'

× It depends upon the situation.

✓ It depends on the situation.

Both 'depends upon' and 'depends on' are grammatically possible, but 'depends on' is more common and natural in spoken English. Use 'on' for simplicity.

× Whenever there is need to discuss about a plan, I prefer to do it in a group chat so everybody can get involved.

✓ Whenever there is a need to discuss a plan, I prefer to do it in a group chat so everybody can get involved.

The phrase 'discuss about' is incorrect; the verb 'discuss' does not take 'about'. Use 'discuss a plan' or 'talk about a plan'. Also insert 'a' before 'need'.

× On the other hand, whenever I have to discuss something personally like to share my emotions and feelings with.

✓ On the other hand, whenever I have to discuss something personally, for example to share my emotions and feelings, I prefer a one-on-one conversation.

The original is a sentence fragment and ends abruptly with 'with.' Complete the idea by specifying preference and reordering: 'to share my emotions and feelings' should be followed by what you prefer (a one-on-one conversation). Add commas to separate clauses.

× I prefer to communicate in person rather than via social media because one can the conversation can be more expressionful while we're talking with each other and can understand the emotions and feel.

✓ I prefer to communicate in person rather than via social media because the conversation can be more expressive when we talk face-to-face and we can better understand each other's emotions and feelings.

The original has duplication 'one can the conversation can' and uses 'expressionful' (not natural) and 'feel' incorrectly. Use 'expressive' and 'emotions and feelings' or just 'emotions'. Use 'when we talk face-to-face' and 'we can better understand each other's...' for clarity.

× I think I don't have an arrogant nature.

✓ I don't think I have an arrogant nature.

The original word order 'I think I don't have' is awkward; native speakers usually say 'I don't think I have...'. This corrects the negation scope and sounds more natural.

× People says that I am cool as cucumber, so I don't uh, argue with my friends.

✓ People say that I am cool as a cucumber, so I don't argue with my friends.

Use plural verb 'say' to agree with plural subject 'People' (subject-verb agreement). Also correct the idiom to 'cool as a cucumber' and remove filler 'uh'.

× For example, whenever there is a fight in a group chat, I am the only one.

✓ For example, whenever there is a fight in a group chat, I am usually the only one who doesn't join in.

The original ends ambiguously with 'I am the only one.' Clarify the meaning: likely the speaker means they are the only one who does not argue or join fights. Add 'who doesn't join in' for clarity and complete sentence meaning.
