聊天— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer more directly and avoid repeating “especially.” Organize the response with a clear reason and one or two specific details. Correct the awkward phrase “what we did on the On the weekend” and use a linking word such as “for example” to connect your supporting detail. Keep the answer to two or three well-formed sentences.

範例: Yes, I really enjoy chatting with my friends because it helps us keep up with each other’s lives. For example, on Mondays we often talk about what we did over the weekend, whether we went to church, and which songs we heard there.

建議: Give a clearer topic sentence instead of saying “random conversations,” which is vague. Also, change the question forms into indirect statements: “what their favorite Catholic song is” and “which childhood memory they still remember.” Provide specific examples and avoid the unnatural phrase “conversations that you cannot actually hear from other groups of people.”

範例: We usually talk about personal interests and meaningful memories. For instance, we might discuss our favorite Catholic songs or share a childhood memory that has stayed with us. These topics help us learn more about each other.

建議: The answer has a clear preference, reason, and supporting detail. Improve grammatical accuracy by changing “each of us are” to “each of us is” or, more naturally, “we are all.” Replace “different types of humour” with “different senses of humour,” and make “I find it blending well” more natural by saying “our personalities blend well.”

範例: I prefer chatting with a group of people because it is usually more fun and entertaining. My friends have different senses of humour, but our personalities blend well, so we often make each other laugh. Group conversations also tend to be more lively than one-to-one chats.

建議: This is a relevant and well-developed answer, but the question asks which method you prefer, so state a clear preference rather than saying you use both. Avoid repeating “to my friends” and use “face-to-face” instead of “personally” for precision. Connect the two ideas with “although” or “while” to make the comparison smoother.

範例: I prefer communicating face-to-face, although I use social media as well. Online, I often send my friends funny videos, but face-to-face conversations feel more meaningful because I can see their genuine reactions and emotions.

建議: The response answers the question directly and gives a reason, but some phrases are unnatural. Replace “the ones that I find more connected to me” with “people I feel closer to,” and change “the previous friends that came into my life” to “my former friends.” Add a specific result, such as resolving disagreements calmly, to make the answer more effective.

範例: Not very often. I rarely argue with my current friends because I feel closer to them and we have similar values. Even when we disagree, we usually discuss the issue calmly and reach an understanding.

× Yes, I like chatting with friends, especially when we spend time catching up, especially on Mondays we always ask about what we did on the On the weekend and if we were able to go to church and what song played at the church

✓ Yes, I like chatting with friends, especially when we spend time catching up. On Mondays, we always ask each other what we did on the weekend, whether we went to church, and what song was played there.

The original sentence contains repeated words and several ideas joined together without a clear sentence structure. The phrase on the On the weekend also repeats the article and preposition. Dividing the answer into two sentences makes the meaning clearer. The passive form was played is appropriate because the song received the action of being played.

× We would ask what's your favorite Catholic song or what's some memory of you as a child that you still remember now?

✓ We would ask what their favorite Catholic song was or what childhood memory they still remembered.

After the reporting verb ask, an indirect question uses statement word order rather than question word order. Therefore, what's your favorite Catholic song becomes what their favorite Catholic song was. The expression some memory of you as a child is unnatural; childhood memory is the clearer noun phrase.

× I have a group of friends with different types of humour and somehow I find it blending well since each of us are really funny.

✓ I have a group of friends with different types of humour, and somehow I find that we blend well because each of us is really funny.

Each is a singular pronoun, so it must be followed by the singular verb is, not are. The phrase find that we blend well is also clearer because we refers to the group of friends whose personalities blend well.

× I have a group of friends with different types of humour and somehow I find it blending well since each of us are really funny.

✓ I have a group of friends with different types of humour, and somehow I find that we blend well because each of us is really funny.

After find, the structure find that plus a clause is more appropriate here. The phrase find it blending well is grammatically possible in some contexts, but it is unnatural when describing how people interact. Use find that we blend well to express this idea clearly.

× I can communicate to my friends either way.

✓ I can communicate with my friends either way.

The usual preposition after communicate when referring to people is with. Communicate to is generally used when emphasizing the direction of a message, while communicate with describes a two-way interaction.

× Not anymore because the friends that I have now are the ones that I find more connected to me. We have more similarities than the previous friends that came into my life.

✓ Not anymore, because I feel more connected to my current friends than to my previous friends. We have more in common than I did with my previous friends.

The original comparison does not compare equivalent objects clearly: current friends are compared with previous friends, but the second sentence compares we with friends. Use the same comparison structure on both sides, such as more connected to my current friends than to my previous friends. More in common is also the natural expression for shared similarities.
