Chatting— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and fluent: reduce hesitations and filler words, correct small grammar issues (e.g. “more better” → “better”), and finish thoughts clearly. Keep answer within 2–4 sentences and add one brief example. Use a linking phrase to compare (e.g. “because” / “whereas”).

예시: I prefer messaging to phone calls because it lets me reply when it’s convenient and gives me time to think. For example, I can reply during breaks at work and also send photos or stickers to make conversations more fun.

제안: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and specific details. Remove hesitations and repetition. Use linking words (for example, “also” or “for instance”) and give one specific example to make content more vivid.

예시: I usually chat with friends about everyday life, work or studies, and plans for the weekend. For instance, last week we discussed where to go for a birthday dinner and shared photos from a recent trip.

제안: Be direct: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give 1–2 reasons using linking words such as “because” or “however.” Avoid repeating “situation” and correct vocabulary (“chat” not “chart”).

예시: It depends on the topic, but generally I prefer group chats because everyone can share ideas and it helps us plan events quickly. For example, when arranging a trip, the group chat makes coordination much easier.

제안: Improve clarity and grammar: state a clear preference in one sentence, then give concise, specific reasons. Avoid awkward phrasing (e.g. “much prosperity”) and unclear final sentence. Use linking words like “because” and limit to 2–3 sentences.

예시: I prefer face-to-face communication because facial expressions and tone help convey meaning more precisely. For instance, when discussing something sensitive, meeting in person prevents misunderstandings.

제안: Be concise and use correct grammar: state directly whether you argue, then explain how you handle disagreements. Replace vague phrases (“low paced”, “bad blood”) with clear expressions such as “stay calm” and “avoid lasting resentment.” Limit to 2–3 sentences.

예시: Yes, we sometimes argue, but we try to stay calm and discuss the issue openly so it doesn’t damage the friendship. For example, after a disagreement we talk it through and apologise if necessary to resolve things quickly.

× Yes, I prefer messaging to phone calls because it lets me reply when it's convenient and I can think about my answers, whereas on call you have to give your immediate presence and continuous attention.

✓ Yes, I prefer messaging to phone calls because it lets me reply when it's convenient and I can think about my answers, whereas on a call you have to give your immediate attention and be continuously present.

The phrase 'on call' is used incorrectly; 'on a call' refers to being in a phone conversation. 'Give your immediate presence' is unidiomatic; use 'give your immediate attention' and 'be continuously present' uses present participle correctly to describe ongoing state. Suggest using natural collocations: 'on a call', 'give your immediate attention', 'be continuously present'.

× Umm I think uh, texting is more better as we can share stickers, uh, send.

✓ Umm I think, uh, texting is better because we can share stickers and send messages.

'More better' is incorrect because 'better' is already a comparative; do not add 'more'. The conjunction 'as' is less natural here than 'because'. The verb 'send' needs an object; add 'messages'. Suggest: use 'better' alone and provide a clear object for verbs.

× I usually chat with my friends about my daily life or work or studies and plans for the weekend.

✓ I usually chat with my friends about my daily life, my work or studies, and my plans for the weekend.

List items need parallel structure and appropriate articles or possessive pronouns. Adding 'my' and commas makes the sentence clearer and maintains present simple tense for habitual actions. Ensure parallel items in lists.

× We we also gossip about, uh, anything that happened at our home or at our surroundings.

✓ We also gossip about, uh, anything that happens at our homes or in our surroundings.

There is a repeated word 'We we' which is an error. 'Happened' shifts to past tense; keep present tense 'happens' to match habitual 'we also gossip'. 'At our home' is better as 'at our homes' or 'in our surroundings'. Use consistent plurality and preposition 'in' for surroundings.

× It all depends on the situation about what type of chart or in what situation we are going to chat about.

✓ It all depends on the situation and what type of chat or what we are going to talk about.

The phrase 'depends on the situation about' is redundant; use 'depends on the situation and'. 'Chart' is likely a misspelling of 'chat'. 'In what situation we are going to chat about' mixes prepositions incorrectly; use 'what we are going to talk about' or 'in what situation we will chat'. Keep structure simpler and avoid ending with redundant prepositions.

× But on the top I prefer group chatting more than personal chatting as in Group everybody can share their thoughts and it creates a strong bond between each other.

✓ But on the whole I prefer group chatting more than personal chatting because in a group everybody can share their thoughts and it creates strong bonds between people.

'On the top' is incorrect; use 'on the whole' or 'overall'. 'Group' should not be capitalized and needs an article: 'in a group'. 'Between each other' is unidiomatic; use 'between people' or 'with each other'. Also 'strong bond' pluralizes better as 'strong bonds' when referring to many people.

× I prefer communicating face to face than social media as in face to face conversation, we can convey our message and expressions can be included, which add to the much prosperity in the message and the other person can understand our message delivery in a more precise we have social media.

✓ I prefer communicating face to face rather than via social media because in a face-to-face conversation we can convey our message and include expressions, which adds clarity to the message and helps the other person understand our meaning more precisely than on social media.

'Prefer ... than' is incorrect; use 'prefer ... rather than' or 'prefer ... to'. Use 'via social media' for medium. 'Face to face conversation' needs hyphens as 'face-to-face conversation' and 'expressions can be included' is awkward; use 'include expressions'. 'Add to the much prosperity' is meaningless; replace with 'adds clarity'. 'More precise we have social media' is ungrammatical; compare with 'than on social media'. Maintain comparative structure.

× I prefer it when the person is interested in place.

✓ I prefer it when the person is interested and engaged in the conversation.

The phrase 'interested in place' is unclear and ungrammatical. The intended meaning is likely that the person is interested in the conversation or attentive. Use present tense 'is interested and engaged' and specify 'in the conversation' or 'and engaged'.

× Umm, arguments among friends are a common side.

✓ Umm, arguments among friends are common.

'A common side' is unidiomatic; simply say 'are common'. This corrects sentence structure and idiomatic usage.

× Umm yes, sometimes there are situations where arguments occur within uh with me and my friends, but we always try to keep the argument low paced and doesn't allow the arguments to take a bad blood.

✓ Umm yes, sometimes there are situations where arguments occur between me and my friends, but we always try to keep the arguments low-paced and not let them turn into bad blood.

'Occur within with me and my friends' is redundant; use 'occur between me and my friends'. 'Argument low paced' needs hyphen 'low-paced'. Subject-verb agreement: 'doesn't allow the arguments' is incorrect because subject 'we' requires 'don't' and the structure 'we don't allow arguments to...' or better 'not let them turn into bad blood'. Use plural 'arguments' consistently and maintain verb agreement.
