朋友— Part 1 评分报告

建议: Answer directly by saying that there is a difference, then clearly compare your past and present situations. Avoid contradictory phrases such as “not exactly different” and “it’s kind of different.” Use accurate past and present forms and explain how your current location affects where you meet friends.

示例: Yes, there is a difference. I used to live in central Bangkok, so I often met my friends at cafés or shopping malls nearby. Now that I live outside the city, we usually meet somewhere more convenient for everyone, such as a shopping mall near a train station.

建议: Give a complete answer with a clear reason. Explain that suitable places are convenient, accessible, and comfortable for everyone. Avoid unfinished phrases and incorrect expressions such as “a place I would sleep in the city.” Use linking words to connect the reason and example.

示例: Some places are more suitable because they are easy for everyone to reach. For example, we usually choose a café or shopping mall near a train station, since my friends and I live in different areas. Places that are too far away or difficult to reach are less convenient.

建议: State your preference more directly and avoid repeating “comfortable with both” and “a group of friends.” Explain when you prefer each option and add one specific reason or example. Use a natural structure such as “It depends on the situation.”

示例: It depends on the situation. I prefer spending time with one close friend when I want to have a deep conversation, but I enjoy being in a group when I want to have fun and socialize. So, I like both, although I probably spend slightly more time with close friends.

建议: Your main idea is clear, but improve the grammar and remove repeated fillers such as “kind of” and “a bit.” Use “whereas” correctly and say “my friends live.” Explain that the journey is long and inconvenient, then mention an alternative meeting place.

示例: Probably not very often, because my home is quite far from the city where most of my friends live. It would take them a long time to get there, so it would be inconvenient for them. We usually meet at a shopping mall or café instead.

建议: You express a clear opinion and provide a relevant personal example. Improve the verb tenses and phrasing: use “I was in France alone,” “I didn’t have any friends there,” and “I tried to keep in touch.” Explain specifically how your friends helped you emotionally.

示例: Friends are extremely important to me. Last year, I spent some time in France by myself and didn’t have any close friends there. I often called my friends in Thailand, and their support helped me feel less lonely and adjust to the new environment.

建议: The answer is relevant, but avoid repeating “but” and “all the time.” Give a direct frequency, such as “not very often,” and explain the difficulty using natural phrasing like “travel into the city.” Add a specific frequency or example if possible.

示例: Not very often. My friends regularly invite me to go out, but I live outside the city, so travelling into town takes quite a long time. As a result, I usually meet them once or twice a month, mainly at weekends.

建议: You give a clear location and a useful reason, but improve word choice and grammar. Say “go shopping” rather than “work and shopping,” “conveniently located” rather than “convenienced,” and “take the Skytrain” rather than “go by a sky train.” Avoid repeating “because.”

示例: We usually meet at a shopping mall in Bangkok. We can shop, eat together, and sometimes watch a film there. It’s also convenient because we can easily take the Skytrain to get there.

建议: The activity is relevant, but the answer contains several self-corrections and an unfinished sentence. Use one consistent tense and a clear structure. Mention karaoke first, then add related activities such as eating and chatting, using “usually” or “often” accurately.

示例: Our favorite activity is going to karaoke. We usually sing for a few hours, and then we have a meal together and chat about our lives. It’s a fun way to relax and spend quality time with one another.

建议: Answer with a specific friend or clearly describe your long-term friends. Use the present perfect correctly: “I have had a friend since high school” or “I have known them since high school.” Explain why you meet infrequently, using “different jobs” and “live in different places.”

示例: Yes, I have a close friend whom I have known since high school. We used to see each other almost every day, but now we have different jobs and live in different places. Although we don’t meet very often, we still keep in touch online and meet when we have time.

× I would like to say not exactly different from the past because now we are at at the past, I used to live in Bangkok in the city and now I'm living outside the city so I think it's kind of different.

✓ I would like to say that it is not exactly different from the past because I used to live in Bangkok, in the city, and now I am living outside the city, so I think it is kind of different.

The phrase at at the past is grammatically incorrect. Use from the past when comparing the present situation with an earlier situation. Avoid repeating the preposition.

× I would like to say not exactly different from the past because now we are at at the past, I used to live in Bangkok in the city and now I'm living outside the city so I think it's kind of different.

✓ I would like to say that it is not exactly different from the past because I used to live in Bangkok, in the city, and now I am living outside the city, so I think it is kind of different.

The original sentence contains several clauses joined together without clear structure. Use that after say and separate the ideas with appropriate conjunctions and commas.

× It's because we live in a different area and so we have to pick the place A place I would sleep in the city that we can come and make it rather easier than

✓ It is because we live in different areas, so we have to choose a place in the city that we can get to easily.

The plural noun areas is more suitable because the speaker and the friends live in more than one area. The original answer also repeats place unnecessarily and ends without a complete comparison.

× It's because we live in a different area and so we have to pick the place A place I would sleep in the city that we can come and make it rather easier than

✓ It is because we live in different areas, so we have to choose a place in the city that we can get to easily.

Use in the city to describe the location and get to a place to describe traveling to it. The phrase come and make it easier than does not use prepositions correctly or express a complete idea.

× It's because we live in a different area and so we have to pick the place A place I would sleep in the city that we can come and make it rather easier than

✓ It is because we live in different areas, so we have to choose a place in the city that we can get to easily.

The original answer contains a false start, repeated noun phrases, and an incomplete ending. Use one clear main clause followed by a relative clause explaining why the place is suitable.

× It depends I would say I have both of one friend and a group of friends and I'm comfortable with both of them so I would try to say I am comfortable with friends and a group of friends so yeah.

✓ It depends. I would say that I enjoy both spending time with one friend and spending time with a group of friends, and I am comfortable with both.

Both should introduce two parallel choices, not both of one friend. Use both ... and to connect one friend and a group of friends correctly.

× It depends I would say I have both of one friend and a group of friends and I'm comfortable with both of them so I would try to say I am comfortable with friends and a group of friends so yeah.

✓ It depends. I would say that I enjoy both spending time with one friend and spending time with a group of friends, and I am comfortable with both.

The original answer repeats the same idea several times and joins too many clauses without clear punctuation. Divide the answer into two well-structured sentences.

× I would say no because my home is a bit far from the city where as my friend living so it's kind of a bit difficult for them to come here as long and kind of like not comfortable for them.

✓ I would say no because my home is a bit far from the city where my friends live, so it is a bit difficult for them to come here and not very comfortable for them.

The verb living needs a finite present-tense verb. Use live after the plural subject my friends. The present simple is appropriate for a current living situation.

× I would say no because my home is a bit far from the city where as my friend living so it's kind of a bit difficult for them to come here as long and kind of like not comfortable for them.

✓ I would say no because my home is a bit far from the city where my friends live, so it is a bit difficult for them to come here and not very comfortable for them.

The noun friend is singular, but the pronoun them is plural. Using friends makes the plural pronoun them agree with the noun.

× I would say no because my home is a bit far from the city where as my friend living so it's kind of a bit difficult for them to come here as long and kind of like not comfortable for them.

✓ I would say no because my home is a bit far from the city where my friends live, so it is a bit difficult for them to come here and not very comfortable for them.

Whereas means although or in contrast, but the sentence needs where to introduce the location in which the friends live. The conjunction and is also needed to connect the two related difficulties.

× Actually that's extremely important to me as last year I have been in France alone so I have no friend over there and I try to talk with my friends which are in Thailand and they like help.

✓ Actually, friends are extremely important to me because last year I was in France alone, so I had no friends there. I tried to talk to my friends in Thailand, and they helped me.

Last year refers to a finished past time, so use the past-tense forms was, had, tried, and helped instead of present or present-perfect forms.

× Actually that's extremely important to me as last year I have been in France alone so I have no friend over there and I try to talk with my friends which are in Thailand and they like help.

✓ Actually, friends are extremely important to me because last year I was in France alone, so I had no friends there. I tried to talk to my friends in Thailand, and they helped me.

Friends should be plural because the speaker is referring to more than one friend. The plural noun agrees with the meaning and with the later phrase my friends.

× Actually that's extremely important to me as last year I have been in France alone so I have no friend over there and I try to talk with my friends which are in Thailand and they like help.

✓ Actually, friends are extremely important to me because last year I was in France alone, so I had no friends there. I tried to talk to my friends in Thailand, and they helped me.

Which is generally used for things, while who is normally used for people. In this correction, the unnecessary relative clause is removed, and my friends in Thailand clearly identifies the people.

× I would say not exactly, but my friends always invite me to hang out with them all the time. But as I told you, I'm living outside the city so it would be hard for me to get in there and there

✓ I would say not exactly, but my friends always invite me to hang out with them. However, as I told you, I am living outside the city, so it would be hard for me to get there.

Use get there, not get in there, when referring generally to reaching a place. The phrase and there is incomplete and should be removed.

× Normally it is the shopping mall that we can work and shopping and find something to eat together because because the shopping mall in Bangkok is convenienced by transportation. We can go by a sky train.

✓ Normally, we meet at a shopping mall where we can walk around, shop, and find something to eat together because shopping malls in Bangkok are convenient to reach by public transportation. We can take the Skytrain.

The original answer contains a repeated conjunction, an unclear relative clause, and incorrectly connected activities. The correction uses a complete main clause and parallel verbs: walk, shop, and find.

× Normally it is the shopping mall that we can work and shopping and find something to eat together because because the shopping mall in Bangkok is convenienced by transportation. We can go by a sky train.

✓ Normally, we meet at a shopping mall where we can walk around, shop, and find something to eat together because shopping malls in Bangkok are convenient to reach by public transportation. We can take the Skytrain.

Convenienced is not the correct past participle or adjective in this context. Use convenient to reach or easily accessible to describe a place that is easy to travel to.

× Normally it is the shopping mall that we can work and shopping and find something to eat together because because the shopping mall in Bangkok is convenienced by transportation. We can go by a sky train.

✓ Normally, we meet at a shopping mall where we can walk around, shop, and find something to eat together because shopping malls in Bangkok are convenient to reach by public transportation. We can take the Skytrain.

Do not use a before the name of a public transport system such as Skytrain. Use take the Skytrain or travel by Skytrain.

× The favorite activity with my friend is we going to we went to karaoke and we sing together and we eat together so I think this would be the activity that we do a lot of time when I when we

✓ My favorite activity with my friends is going to karaoke, where we sing and eat together. I think this is an activity we do a lot.

After is, use the gerund phrase going to karaoke. The original phrase we going is not a complete verb phrase in this structure.

× The favorite activity with my friend is we going to we went to karaoke and we sing together and we eat together so I think this would be the activity that we do a lot of time when I when we

✓ My favorite activity with my friends is going to karaoke, where we sing and eat together. I think this is an activity we do a lot.

The question asks about a usual activity, so the present forms sing, eat, and do are appropriate. Went is past tense and does not agree with the habitual meaning here.

× The favorite activity with my friend is we going to we went to karaoke and we sing together and we eat together so I think this would be the activity that we do a lot of time when I when we

✓ My favorite activity with my friends is going to karaoke, where we sing and eat together. I think this is an activity we do a lot.

A lot of time is not the correct expression for frequency in this sentence. Use a lot or often to describe how frequently the activity happens.

× Yes, I have friends since I was in high school but we very meeting each other because we also have different works and we separate to do

✓ Yes, I have had a friend since high school, but we rarely meet because we have different jobs and live separately.

Use a friend when referring to one particular long-term friend. The singular article a must agree with the singular noun friend.

× Yes, I have friends since I was in high school but we very meeting each other because we also have different works and we separate to do

✓ Yes, I have had a friend since high school, but we rarely meet because we have different jobs and live separately.

Very cannot directly modify the verb meeting in this sentence. Use the adverb rarely to express that the meetings do not happen often.

× Yes, I have friends since I was in high school but we very meeting each other because we also have different works and we separate to do

✓ Yes, I have had a friend since high school, but we rarely meet because we have different jobs and live separately.

The original sentence contains the incomplete phrase we very meeting and ends with the fragment we separate to do. The correction uses complete verb phrases and a clear reason clause.
