Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and be more precise with vocabulary, for example, use 'texts' instead of 'tests'. Also, keep your answer concise and natural by limiting redundancy.

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends. Whenever I encounter something interesting or experience something new, I share it with them through texts or voice messages.

Suggestion: Structure your answer clearly with a topic sentence and supporting details linked logically. Use correct grammar and avoid vague phrases like 'something about'. Be specific and coherent.

Example: When I chat with my friends, I usually talk about various topics such as the food I try while traveling, events at work, and sometimes family matters. I feel connected to them and appreciate their advice and ideas.

Suggestion: Improve sentence fluency by using linking words and correct plural forms. Also, avoid hesitation and be more confident in your response.

Example: It depends on the situation. For personal matters, I prefer chatting with one close friend. However, if I need suggestions, I like to discuss with a group of friends.

Suggestion: Avoid filler words and improve sentence structure for clarity. Use correct vocabulary such as 'texts' instead of 'tests' and express ideas more fluently.

Example: I prefer face-to-face communication. However, since my friends and I live in different countries, we mostly communicate through texts or voice notes nowadays.

Suggestion: Reduce filler words and improve grammar, such as subject-verb agreement. Use linking words to make your explanation clearer and more coherent.

Example: Yes, I do argue with friends because everyone has different perspectives. When we disagree, we discuss our views respectfully and try to understand each other.

× Whenever I see something interesting or whenever something happened to me, I will share with my friends and chat with them through, uh, tests or voice messages.

✓ Whenever I see something interesting or whenever something happens to me, I will share with my friends and chat with them through, uh, texts or voice messages.

The sentence mixes present tense 'see' with past tense 'happened'. To maintain consistency, 'happened' should be changed to present tense 'happens' because the sentence talks about habitual actions. Also, 'tests' is a typo and should be 'texts'.

× I will share with my friends and chat with them through, uh, tests or voice messages.

✓ I will share with my friends and chat with them via, uh, texts or voice messages.

The preposition 'through' is less appropriate here; 'via' is more commonly used to indicate the medium of communication like texts or voice messages.

× While I travel with my friends about everything, something about the food I try, something about the things happen in the office and sometime I share some family stuff with my friends because I feel connected and I also feel like if I tell them, they would give me some suggestions and some ideas about the things I said.

✓ When I travel with my friends, I chat about everything: the food I try, things that happen in the office, and sometimes I share some family stuff with them because I feel connected. I also feel that if I tell them, they will give me suggestions and ideas about what I said.

The original sentence is a run-on with unclear structure. 'While I travel with my friends about everything' is incorrect; 'When I travel with my friends, I chat about everything' is clearer. 'Something about the things happen' should be 'things that happen'. 'Sometime' should be 'sometimes'. Also, the sentence is too long and needs to be split for clarity.

× If it's something more personal, I prefer to chat with only very close friend, maybe only one.

✓ If it's something more personal, I prefer to chat with only a very close friend, maybe only one.

The noun 'friend' is singular and needs an article 'a' before it. Without the article, the sentence is grammatically incorrect.

× But nowadays since me and my friends, we are living in different countries so mostly we only can talk through uh, tests of voice notes.

✓ But nowadays, since my friends and I are living in different countries, we mostly can only talk through, uh, texts or voice notes.

The pronoun 'me' is incorrect as the subject; it should be 'my friends and I'. Also, 'tests of voice notes' is incorrect; it should be 'texts or voice notes'. The sentence structure is improved for clarity.

× But nowadays since me and my friends, we are living in different countries so mostly we only can talk through uh, tests of voice notes.

✓ But nowadays, since my friends and I are living in different countries, we mostly can only talk through, uh, texts or voice notes.

The subject pronoun 'me' is incorrect here; the correct subject pronoun is 'I'. The phrase 'me and my friends' should be 'my friends and I'.

× So umm, even though I prefer uh, in person talks but still I cannot nowadays.

✓ So, umm, even though I prefer, uh, in-person talks, I still cannot nowadays.

The phrase 'in person talks' should be hyphenated as 'in-person talks' to function as a compound adjective. Also, the sentence structure is improved by removing 'but' which is unnecessary here.

× Yeah, I do because everyone has their own perspective toward different things.

✓ Yeah, I do because everyone has his or her own perspective toward different things.

The pronoun 'their' is plural, but 'everyone' is singular. For formal correctness, 'his or her' should be used to agree with the singular subject 'everyone'. However, 'their' is commonly accepted in informal speech.

× So when it comes to uh, arguments, we would discuss like if she agree with that and I agree with something else, we will discuss, uh, or we will respect each other's perspectives.

✓ So when it comes to, uh, arguments, we discuss: if she agrees with that and I agree with something else, we discuss or we respect each other's perspectives.

The verb 'agree' needs to be in third person singular form 'agrees' to agree with 'she'. Also, 'would discuss like' is awkward; 'discuss' is better. The sentence is restructured for clarity and grammatical correctness.
