Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Try to avoid stereotypes and redundant phrases. Start with a clear topic sentence directly answering the question, then add specific details about what you enjoy chatting about. Keep your answer concise and natural.

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends because it helps me relax and share experiences. We often talk about our daily lives, hobbies, and interesting events that happened recently.

Suggestion: Focus on clarity and coherence by using linking words and avoiding filler words. Provide specific examples of topics you discuss to make your answer more engaging and structured.

Example: We usually chat about our daily activities and feelings. For example, I might share a positive experience at work, and my friends might talk about challenges they faced during the day.

Suggestion: Avoid filler words and unclear phrases like 'Clearview'. Use linking words to explain your preference clearly and provide reasons to support your answer.

Example: I prefer chatting with one or two close friends because it allows for deeper conversations. Moreover, in smaller groups, I feel more comfortable expressing myself.

Suggestion: Try to use correct tense and avoid repetition. Start with a clear preference, then explain the reason using linking words for coherence.

Example: I prefer face-to-face communication because it feels more personal. However, since my friend lives in India and I live elsewhere, we usually communicate via social media to stay connected.

Suggestion: Avoid filler words and unclear expressions. Use linking words to explain reasons clearly and provide a balanced view to make your answer more natural and effective.

Example: Yes, sometimes I argue with my friends because I have strong opinions. For instance, if I believe a friend is making a wrong decision, I try to advise her, which can lead to disagreements.

× Nowadays my preferences though to talk face to face but my friend and I always had had to go via social media because she is living in India and I'm living here.

✓ Nowadays my preference is to talk face to face but my friend and I have always had to go via social media because she is living in India and I'm living here.

The phrase 'my preferences though to talk' is incorrect; it should be 'my preference is to talk' to correctly express the present preference. Also, 'always had had to go' is awkward and incorrect; the correct form is 'have always had to go' to indicate a continuous past action up to now. This correction uses the present perfect tense appropriately.

× There are a lot of topics we chat about, but the most common is we just, uh, tell each other how our days went, what we did throughout the day, what was the positive improvement in uh, US today, or what is the negative thing happened in our life today so that all we friends sit together and chat about.

✓ There are a lot of topics we chat about, but the most common is that we just, uh, tell each other how our days went, what we did throughout the day, what was the positive improvement in, uh, us today, or what negative things happened in our lives today so that all of us friends sit together and chat about them.

The phrase 'what is the negative thing happened' is incorrect; it should be 'what negative things happened' to match plural form and correct verb usage. Also, 'all we friends' should be 'all of us friends' for correct pronoun usage. These corrections fix singular/plural mismatches and improve clarity.

× I always love to chat with limited number of people, like just, uh, one or two of my friends rather than going in a group because I don't think so.

✓ I always love to chat with a limited number of people, like just, uh, one or two of my friends rather than going in a group because I don't think so.

The phrase 'with limited number of people' is missing the article 'a' before 'limited number'. Adding 'a' is necessary for correct prepositional phrase structure.

× So that all we friends sit together and chat about.

✓ So that all of us friends sit together and chat about it.

The phrase 'all we friends' is incorrect; it should be 'all of us friends' to correctly use the pronoun. Also, adding 'it' at the end clarifies the object of chatting.

× Like I will be getting a Clearview if I'm talking with a lot of people at one time.

✓ Like I will be getting a clear view if I'm talking to a lot of people at one time.

The phrase 'talking with a lot of people' is better expressed as 'talking to a lot of people' to correctly use the preposition with 'talk' in this context. Also, 'Clearview' should be two words and lowercase as 'clear view'.
