Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Try to make your answer more concise and avoid hesitation sounds like 'uh'. Also, correct minor errors such as 'things in comments' which should be 'things in common'. Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

Example: I don't chat with my friends much at the moment because I'm very busy with my own life. However, when I was in high school, we used to chat a lot since we had many things in common to share.

Suggestion: Avoid repetition and hesitation. Use linking words like 'for instance' or 'such as' to organise your ideas. Be more specific about the topics you discuss to enrich your answer.

Example: We usually talk about various aspects of our lives, such as our husbands, jobs, current situations, and future goals. For instance, we often motivate each other to achieve our ambitions.

Suggestion: Try to express your ideas more clearly and avoid hesitation. Use linking words to explain your reasons logically. Also, avoid vague expressions like 'I'm scared' and explain your feelings more precisely.

Example: I prefer chatting with just one friend because I feel more comfortable sharing personal details with a close person rather than a group. This way, I can be more open and honest.

Suggestion: Avoid repetition and hesitation. Use linking words to compare the two methods clearly. Also, complete your thoughts to avoid incomplete sentences.

Example: I prefer face-to-face communication because it allows me to maintain eye contact, which makes me feel more comfortable. In contrast, online conversations often lack this personal connection.

Suggestion: Your answer is incomplete and contains many hesitations. Try to complete your sentences and express your ideas clearly. Use linking words to explain reasons and consequences logically.

Example: I think arguing with friends is quite normal because we don't always agree on every topic. However, these discussions help us understand each other better and strengthen our friendship.

× we had a lot of things in comments to share with each other

✓ we had a lot of things in common to share with each other

The phrase 'in comments' is incorrect here; the correct expression is 'in common' to indicate shared interests or experiences.

× I cannot spend a lot of time chatting with my.

✓ I cannot spend a lot of time chatting with my friends.

The sentence is incomplete and missing the object after 'my'. Adding 'friends' completes the sentence and clarifies the meaning.

× our husbands

✓ our husbands

No correction needed here as 'our husbands' is correct if referring to multiple husbands belonging to different people.

× the situation, our situation that we are in

✓ the situation, the situation that we are in

Using 'our situation' twice is redundant; replacing the second with 'the situation' improves clarity and avoids repetition.

× We talked about everything, uh, and we always, uh, motivate each other, uh.

✓ We talk about everything, and we always motivate each other.

The tense should be consistent; since the question is about usual topics, present tense 'talk' and 'motivate' are appropriate.

× I prefer to chat only with one of my friends.

✓ I prefer to chat only with one of my friends.

This sentence is correct; 'one of my friends' correctly uses singular and plural forms.

× I don't like to share all my details with other people, with a group of people because, uh, I believe we have to only have, uh, one friend to talk about our life with.

✓ I don't like to share all my details with other people, with a group of people because I believe we should only have one friend to talk about our life with.

Replacing 'have to only have' with 'should only have' improves modal verb usage and sentence flow.

× Uh, not all the people.

✓ Not with all the people.

The phrase 'not all the people' is incomplete; 'Not with all the people' clarifies the meaning that the speaker does not want to share with everyone.

× I prefer to or have a face to face communication as it is more comfortable.

✓ I prefer to have face-to-face communication as it is more comfortable.

The phrase 'prefer to or have' is incorrect; it should be 'prefer to have'. Also, 'face-to-face' should be hyphenated as it is a compound adjective.

× I really like to, uh, look at how the eye contact with people when I'm talking with them.

✓ I really like to make eye contact with people when I'm talking with them.

The phrase 'look at how the eye contact' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'make eye contact'.

× Online, online conversation always gives me that.

✓ Online conversation always gives me that feeling.

Adding 'feeling' clarifies what 'that' refers to, making the sentence complete and clear.

× arguing with friends, it's, uh, it's the norm between group of people who are friends, uh, because of, because most, most of time, most of the time, uh, we are not, uh, we, uh, we don't agree in UH-11 topic and we talk together about that and maybe.

✓ Arguing with friends is the norm among groups of friends because most of the time we do not agree on topics, and we talk about them together.

The original sentence is fragmented and repetitive. The correction improves sentence structure, removes filler words, and clarifies meaning.
