What do you usually chat about with friends?

I usually chat with my friends about the movies I have watched and the books I have read recently and we would talk about the storyline and and the and our favorite characters. So this I think it's a really interesting process for us to share our opinions.
Examiner
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
Candidate
I prefer chatting with only one friend because, uh, when I'm chatting with, uh, only one friend, I can have more control over the topic that we are talking about. Uh, and umm, uh, I have more chance to be heard.
Examiner
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
Candidate
I prefer communicating via social media because I am usually kind of shy around people, so when I am texting on social media I can have more time to to think about what I want to say and so I can express my ideas more thoroughly and fluently.

No, I don't usually argue with friends because I think it's very natural for different people to have their individual opinions and, uh, I think I should respect that instead of trying to, uh, change other people's thought. So I would try to avoid, uh, arguing with my friends.

动词prefer后面通常接不定式to do，而不是动名词doing。这里应使用to chat代替chatting。

同样，prefer后面应接不定式to communicate而非communicating；另外，when引导的时间状语从句中，动词应使用一般现在时text而非现在进行时am texting。

thought在这里应为复数形式thoughts，表示不同人的想法。单数形式不符合语境。
