Chatting— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be clearer and more natural: start with a direct topic sentence, avoid repetitions, fix grammar (articles, word order), and keep it concise (max 3–4 sentences). Use linking phrase for contrast (e.g. "but").

예시: I’m not very social and prefer my own company, but I do chat occasionally with a few close friends. For example, I often message them on WhatsApp or call when I want to catch up or ask for advice.

제안: Give a clear topic sentence and specific examples; avoid repeating phrases and redundant words. Use linking words like "also" or "for instance" to connect ideas and keep answers concise.

예시: I usually ask about their daily life and tell them what I’m doing. I also ask for practical help sometimes; for instance, I recently asked a friend to help me configure a new router.

제안: Make a clear direct response first (one sentence). Remove hesitations and unclear fragments. Explain reason briefly using linking words like "because" and give a short example.

예시: I prefer chatting one-on-one because conversations feel more personal and less noisy. For example, I can focus better and ask follow-up questions when I talk to a single friend.

제안: Start with a direct preference, correct word order and grammar, and give one clear reason with a linking word. Avoid confusing phrases like "doesn't record physical travel."

예시: I prefer communicating via social media because it is more convenient and saves travel time. For example, I can have video calls that let me see friends without leaving home.

제안: Begin with a direct, neutral sentence, correct collocations (“argue with friends”), and explain briefly why and how disagreements are resolved using linking words like "but" or "however." Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

예시: Yes, we sometimes argue about different opinions, but we usually find common ground and resolve things calmly. For example, if we disagree about plans, we discuss options and pick a compromise.

× I'm not really that much of A social person, I'm more of an introvert, so I like to keep myself rather than talking with others.

✓ I'm not really that much of a social person; I'm more of an introvert, so I prefer to keep to myself rather than talk with others.

Incorrect use of the article 'A' before 'social' and awkward phrasing 'keep myself rather than talking'. Use lowercase 'a' and 'a social person' or better 'a social person' without capitalization; 'keep to myself' is the correct idiom; when contrasting with 'rather than', use the base form 'talk' not the gerund 'talking'. Also change comma splice to semicolon or period. Grammar problem type ID: 22

× However, I do occasionally chat with some close friends, maybe on WhatsApp or on call.

✓ However, I do occasionally chat with some close friends, maybe on WhatsApp or on a call.

Missing article before 'call'. Use 'on a call' to indicate being engaged in a phone conversation. The rest is correct present simple usage for habitual actions. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× I typically chat about them, about their daily life and what I'm doing presently.

✓ I typically chat with them about their daily lives and about what I'm doing at the moment.

Incorrect pronoun/phrase order 'chat about them' should be 'chat with them'. Also 'daily life' should be pluralized to 'daily lives' when referring to multiple friends, and 'presently' is formal/ambiguous; 'at the moment' is more natural in spoken English. Grammar problem type ID: 12

× Sometimes I also like to talk about practical things which I may need their help on, for example how to configure an electronic device for example.

✓ Sometimes I also like to talk about practical things I may need their help with, for example how to configure an electronic device.

Redundant 'for example' twice and incorrect preposition 'help on'—use 'help with'. Remove duplicate phrase and simplfy the clause. This corrects preposition and redundancy issues. Grammar problem type ID: 11

× Can you chat with one person at the time or today or have been situations when I've started amongst the group of friends.

✓ Can you chat with one person at a time, or have there been situations when I started conversations within a group of friends?

Sentence is confused and contains tense and structure problems. 'At the time' should be 'at a time'; use 'have there been situations' for present perfect question form; 'started amongst the group' is awkward—'started conversations within a group of friends' is clearer. Ensure question word order with 'have there been'. Grammar problem type ID: 26

× However I do prefer A1 on one conversation rather than a group conversation.

✓ However, I do prefer a one-on-one conversation rather than a group conversation.

'A1 on one' appears to be a typo. Use the idiom 'one-on-one' and the article 'a' in lowercase. Also add commas for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 22

× I'd say that I before meeting will via social media over face to face as it is more convenient and doesn't record physical travel while achieving the same benefits as face to face meetings.

✓ I'd say that I prefer meeting via social media rather than face-to-face, as it is more convenient and avoids physical travel while providing the same benefits as face-to-face meetings.

Original has incorrect word order and tense ('I before meeting will via'). Use simple present 'prefer' for habitual preference. Use hyphenated 'face-to-face' as an adjective and 'rather than' for comparison. 'Doesn't record physical travel' is awkward—'avoids physical travel' is clearer. Maintain parallel structure.

× Yeah, quite often. I do argue my friends on a lot of topics, but I tend to find a common ground with them in order to not get that into a conflict because I'm more of a passive person.

✓ Yeah, quite often. I do argue with my friends about a lot of topics, but I tend to find common ground with them to avoid getting into a conflict because I'm more of a passive person.

Use 'argue with' not 'argue my friends', and 'about' for topics. 'Find a common ground' should be 'find common ground' (no article typically). 'In order to not get that into a conflict' is ungrammatical—use 'to avoid getting into a conflict'. These changes fix preposition, article, and awkward phrasing. Grammar problem type ID: 11
