× I like to chatting with my friends because I think it's relaxing and also, umm, my friends, they are all kind and uh, easy going.
✓ I like chatting with my friends because I think it's relaxing and also, umm, my friends, they are all kind and uh, easy going.
The verb 'like' is followed by either the infinitive form 'to chat' or the gerund form 'chatting'. Using 'to chatting' is incorrect. The correct form here is 'like chatting'.
× They, uh, they are very patient of listening mind problems and always give me some solutions.
✓ They, uh, they are very patient in listening to my problems and always give me some solutions.
The phrase 'patient of listening' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'patient in listening to'. Also, 'mind problems' is unclear; 'my problems' is more appropriate.
× And because we are all students, we always check about chat about the academic umm, such as the grade and uh, what we prefer to do in the future, umm and to chat with them.
✓ And because we are all students, we always chat about academic things, such as grades and what we prefer to do in the future, umm, and chat with them.
The phrase 'check about chat about' is incorrect and redundant. The correct phrase is 'chat about'. Also, 'the academic' should be 'academic things' or 'academic topics'.
× Actually I was refused that because I'm umm, very shy to talk with almost that umm, strangers.
✓ Actually I refuse that because I'm umm, very shy to talk with almost all umm, strangers.
'I was refused that' is incorrect; the student likely means 'I refuse that'. Also, 'almost that strangers' is incorrect; it should be 'almost all strangers'.
× Uh, I don't like to share my own opinion to others because I think it's private thing.
✓ Uh, I don't like to share my own opinion with others because I think it's a private thing.
The verb 'share' is followed by 'with' when indicating the person receiving the information. Also, 'private thing' needs the article 'a'.
× I prefer to communicate face to face because I think umm we can get the umm others emotions on their face quickly if we only chat on the via social media.
✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because I think umm we can get the umm others' emotions on their face quickly; if we only chat via social media,
The phrase 'chat on the via social media' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'via social media'. Also, 'others emotions' should be possessive 'others''.
× It's was virtual and we can't get the real meanings.
✓ It's virtual and we can't get the real meanings.
'It's was' is incorrect; 'It's' is a contraction of 'It is'. Using both 'is' and 'was' together is wrong. The correct form is 'It's virtual'.
× Yes, sometimes we argue, but I don't think argue with friends is a bad thing because doing argue actually we can get more what others true, uh, ideas on their in their mind.
✓ Yes, sometimes we argue, but I don't think arguing with friends is a bad thing because by arguing, we can get more of others' true, uh, ideas in their minds.
The verb 'argue' needs to be in gerund form 'arguing' when used as a noun. Also, 'doing argue' is incorrect; 'by arguing' is correct. 'Others true ideas' needs possessive 'others'' and 'in their mind' should be plural 'in their minds'.
× And if we don't argue anymore, I don't think it's a good things.
✓ And if we don't argue anymore, I don't think it's a good thing.
'A good things' is incorrect because 'things' is plural and 'a' is singular. The correct phrase is 'a good thing'.
