× I love chatting with my friends, especially I have few, uh, best friends, which is really close to me
✓ I love chatting with my friends, especially I have a few, uh, best friends, who are really close to me
The phrase 'few' without an article implies 'not many' and is usually negative. To express a small number positively, 'a few' should be used. Also, 'which' is used for things, but for people 'who' is correct. Additionally, 'best friends' is plural, so the verb should be plural 'are' instead of 'is'. Suggestion: Use 'a few' to indicate a small positive number and 'who are' for plural people.
× I and I just have to went, uh, went it to someone.
✓ I just have to go, uh, go to someone.
The verb 'went' is the past tense of 'go', but the sentence context requires the base form 'go' after 'have to' which is a modal-like expression requiring the base verb form. Also, 'went it to someone' is incorrect; it should be 'go to someone'. Suggestion: After 'have to', use the base form of the verb, e.g., 'have to go'.
× I usually chat him about my office and my personal life
✓ I usually chat with him about my office and my personal life
The verb 'chat' requires the preposition 'with' when indicating the person you are talking to. Omitting 'with' is incorrect. Suggestion: Use 'chat with someone' to indicate the person you are conversing with.
× one which is my online friend
✓ one who is my online friend
When referring to people, 'who' should be used instead of 'which'. Suggestion: Use 'who' for people, not 'which'.
× one of my close friend
✓ one of my close friends
The phrase 'one of my' must be followed by a plural noun because it refers to one item from a group. Suggestion: Use plural form after 'one of my', e.g., 'one of my friends'.
× have a more friends
✓ have more friends
The quantifier 'more' is used with plural nouns without an article. 'a more friends' is incorrect because 'friends' is plural and 'a' is singular. Suggestion: Use 'more friends' without 'a'.
× talk about our daily life experience
✓ talk about our daily life experiences
The phrase 'daily life experience' is usually plural as people have multiple experiences. Also, 'experience' as a countable noun in this context should be plural. Suggestion: Use plural 'experiences' to indicate multiple events or occurrences.
× I prefer to communicate face to face
✓ I prefer to communicate face-to-face
The phrase 'face-to-face' is a compound adjective or adverb and should be hyphenated. Suggestion: Use hyphenated form 'face-to-face'.
× I try to avoid argue with my friends
✓ I try to avoid arguing with my friends
The verb 'avoid' is followed by a gerund (-ing form), not the base verb. Suggestion: Use 'avoid' + verb-ing, e.g., 'avoid arguing'.
× when they, as any kind of uh, miss, uh, uh, communication happens with my friend
✓ when any kind of, uh, miscommunication happens with my friend
The phrase 'they, as any kind of' is incorrect and unnecessary. Also, 'miss communication' should be 'miscommunication' as one word. Suggestion: Simplify sentence and use 'miscommunication' as one word.
