Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and repetitive phrases such as 'in several, in different, in several'. Also, use more natural expressions and keep your answer concise within 5 sentences. For example, you can say: "Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends almost every day through various social media platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok."

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends almost every day through various social media platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok.

Suggestion: Avoid vague phrases like 'random stuff' and unclear sentences such as 'we're gonna college'. Use linking words to connect ideas and be specific about the topics. For example, say: "On WhatsApp, we usually discuss personal matters, while on TikTok and Instagram, we share funny videos and laugh together."

Example: On WhatsApp, we usually discuss personal matters, while on TikTok and Instagram, we share funny videos and laugh together.

Suggestion: Try to use clearer sentence structures and avoid filler words like 'uh'. Also, use linking words to make your answer more coherent. For example: "As an introvert, I prefer chatting with a small group of close friends. In fact, I only have five close friends, and I feel very comfortable talking to them."

Example: As an introvert, I prefer chatting with a small group of close friends. In fact, I only have five close friends, and I feel very comfortable talking to them.

Suggestion: Avoid filler words and unclear phrases like 'fire chatting'. Use linking words and be specific. For example: "It depends on the person. For close friends, I prefer face-to-face conversations or phone calls. However, for strangers, I usually communicate via chatting apps."

Example: It depends on the person. For close friends, I prefer face-to-face conversations or phone calls. However, for strangers, I usually communicate via chatting apps.

Suggestion: Avoid filler words and incomplete sentences. Use linking words to explain reasons clearly. For example: "Sometimes, especially during university, we argued about classes or homework because we spent a lot of time together and worked on tasks as a group."

Example: Sometimes, especially during university, we argued about classes or homework because we spent a lot of time together and worked on tasks as a group.

× Matter of fact, I talked to my friends via chatting almost every day.

✓ Matter of fact, I talk to my friends via chatting almost every day.

The sentence describes a habitual action, so the present tense 'talk' should be used instead of the past tense 'talked'. Habitual actions require present tense in English.

× I talked to them uh, in several, in different, in several social medias such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Tiktok.

✓ I talk to them uh, on several different social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok.

The correct preposition for platforms like social media is 'on', not 'in'. Also, 'social media' is uncountable, so 'social medias' is incorrect. Use 'social media platforms' instead.

× It is mostly a random stuff in WhatsApp, uh, we usually talk about more personal stuff,

✓ It is mostly random stuff on WhatsApp, uh, we usually talk about more personal stuff,

'Stuff' is an uncountable noun and does not take 'a'. Also, the preposition for platforms is 'on', not 'in'.

× in Tiktok and Instagram we usually send each other like a funny reels or funny videos

✓ on TikTok and Instagram we usually send each other funny reels or funny videos

Use 'on' for social media platforms. Also, 'a funny reels' is incorrect because 'reels' is plural; remove 'a'.

× and we're gonna talk about it and laugh about it with each other.

✓ and we talk about it and laugh about it with each other.

'Gonna' is informal and implies future tense, but the context suggests habitual action, so simple present tense 'talk' is appropriate.

× And then after that we're gonna college.

✓ And then after that, we go to college.

The phrase 'we're gonna college' is incorrect; 'go to college' is the correct verb phrase. Also, 'gonna' is informal and not suitable here.

× I prefer to talk to only certain group or certain friends, which in result that I only have a few friends

✓ I prefer to talk to only certain groups or certain friends, which results in me having only a few friends

'Group' should be plural 'groups' to match 'certain'. Also, 'which in result that' is incorrect; use 'which results in'.

× Matter of fact, I only have 5 close friends.

✓ Matter of fact, I only have five close friends.

Numbers from one to nine are usually written in words in formal writing.

× If I'm speaking to my closer friends, I prefer to talk to them uh, either face or FA face to face or through uh, calling them.

✓ If I'm speaking to my close friends, I prefer to talk to them either face to face or by calling them.

'Closer friends' should be 'close friends'. Also, 'either face or FA face to face' is incorrect; use 'either face to face'. The preposition 'by' is used with 'calling'.

× But if I'm talking to some kind of strangers, I prefer to talk to them fire chatting.

✓ But if I'm talking to some kind of strangers, I prefer to talk to them via chatting.

'Fire chatting' is incorrect; likely meant 'via chatting' or 'through chatting'. Use 'via' or 'through' to indicate the medium.

× Sometimes, yes, especially when I was in my university, uh, time, we had tons of stuff to argue about, especially about our classes or our homeworks because we mainly stick to each other.

✓ Sometimes, yes, especially when I was at university, we had tons of stuff to argue about, especially about our classes or our homework because we mainly stuck together.

Use 'at university' instead of 'in my university'. 'Homework' is uncountable, so 'homeworks' is incorrect. 'Stick to each other' should be 'stuck together' in past tense.

× That's why most of our staff, we do it together and sometimes it.

✓ That's why we do most of our stuff together, and sometimes we argue.

'Staff' is incorrect; should be 'stuff'. The sentence is incomplete and unclear; adding 'we argue' clarifies the meaning.
