Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and 'um' to make your speech more fluent and natural. Also, organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and supporting details without redundancy. For example, state your main idea first, then explain why, and conclude briefly.

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends because it helps me stay connected despite being introverted. I usually prefer texting over talking in person since it feels more comfortable. However, sometimes I miss messages from unknown numbers, which is unfortunate.

Suggestion: Focus on clear sentence structure and avoid grammatical errors. Use linking words to connect ideas logically. Be specific about topics and avoid vague phrases. For example, mention specific daily routines or relationship topics you discuss.

Example: We usually chat about our daily routines, like work and skincare tips. Sometimes, we discuss our relationships, which is fun because we share stories about our partners. Occasionally, we plan a day to go out together.

Suggestion: Complete your sentences fully and avoid trailing off. Use linking words to explain your preference clearly. Also, provide specific reasons why you prefer one-on-one conversations.

Example: To be honest, I am an introverted person, so I prefer chatting with one or two close friends rather than a large group. For example, my husband is my best friend because we share our daily routines and future plans openly.

Suggestion: Reduce filler words and improve sentence clarity. Use linking words to connect ideas logically. Also, correct phrases like 'keep me unconnected' to 'keep me connected'. Be concise and specific about your reasons.

Example: I prefer communicating via social media like WhatsApp or Instagram because I am busy and don't have much time for face-to-face meetings. This method is convenient and allows me to stay connected regardless of my location.

Suggestion: Avoid filler words and incomplete sentences. Clarify your ideas and use correct vocabulary (e.g., 'hair care' instead of 'hair scare'). Provide clear reasons and examples to support your answer.

Example: To be honest, I rarely argue with my friends because I prefer discussing light topics like hair care and health. I find these conversations more enjoyable and less stressful than arguments.

× Definitely, yes, I like to chat with my friends because it's helped me to, uh, say, connect with them.

✓ Definitely, yes, I like to chat with my friends because it helps me to, uh, say, connect with them.

The phrase 'it's helped' uses the past participle 'helped' which implies a completed action in the past. However, the context suggests a habitual or ongoing action, so the present tense 'helps' is appropriate here.

× We talk about the our daily routine such a work or about the beauty and skin care.

✓ We talk about our daily routine such as work or about beauty and skin care.

The phrase 'the our' is incorrect because 'our' already specifies possession and does not require 'the'. Also, 'such a work' should be 'such as work' to correctly introduce examples.

× And sometimes we talk about their relationship and it's so joyful to gossip about the our partner.

✓ And sometimes we talk about their relationships and it's so joyful to gossip about our partners.

Again, 'the our' is incorrect; 'our' alone is sufficient. Also, 'relationship' and 'partner' should be plural to match the plural possessive pronouns 'their' and 'our'.

× But sometimes we try to get her to select the one day to have a date.

✓ But sometimes we try to get her to select one day to have a date.

The phrase 'the one day' is incorrect; 'one day' is the correct expression when referring to an unspecified day. The definite article 'the' is unnecessary here.

× To be honest, I'm introverted person and I prefer to talk with only one or two close friends instead of the larger group.

✓ To be honest, I'm an introverted person and I prefer to talk with only one or two close friends instead of a larger group.

The phrase 'I'm introverted person' is missing the indefinite article 'an' before 'introverted person'. Also, 'the larger group' should be 'a larger group' because it refers to any larger group, not a specific one.

× I prefer to use the social media like WhatsApp or Instagram to, uh, connect to other persons.

✓ I prefer to use social media like WhatsApp or Instagram to, uh, connect with other people.

The phrase 'connect to' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'connect with'. Also, 'the social media' is incorrect; 'social media' is uncountable and does not need 'the'. 'Other persons' is better expressed as 'other people' in this context.

× Uh, because I'm busy and I don't have enough time to connect to, umm, my friends.

✓ Uh, because I'm busy and I don't have enough time to connect with, umm, my friends.

The verb 'connect' is followed by the preposition 'with' when referring to people, not 'to'.

× Uh, so it's more convenient for me and uh, keep me, uh, unconnected and it's not matter, uh, where I am,

✓ Uh, so it's more convenient for me and, uh, keeps me, uh, connected and it doesn't matter, uh, where I am,

The verb 'keep' needs to agree with the singular subject 'it', so it should be 'keeps'. Also, 'unconnected' is incorrect in this context; 'connected' is the intended meaning. The phrase 'it's not matter' should be 'it doesn't matter'.

× To be honest, no, I'm not passionate about the, uh, to argue to someone, especially my friends, uh, except my husband.

✓ To be honest, no, I'm not passionate about, uh, arguing with someone, especially my friends, uh, except my husband.

The phrase 'to argue to someone' is incorrect. The correct form is 'arguing with someone'. Also, 'passionate about' should be followed by a gerund ('arguing').

× And so, uh, I prefer to talk with my friends about this on random subjects like hair scare, health scare, uh, because, uh, it's more enjoyable for me, uh, than, rather than the, uh, argument.

✓ And so, uh, I prefer to talk with my friends about random subjects like hair care, health care, uh, because, uh, it's more enjoyable for me, uh, than, rather than, uh, arguments.

The phrase 'hair scare' and 'health scare' are incorrect; the correct terms are 'hair care' and 'health care'. Also, 'the argument' should be plural 'arguments' to match the general sense. The phrase 'than, rather than' is redundant; 'than' alone is sufficient.
