× I'm an introvert, I don't enjoy UMM chatting with friends very often, but UMM.
✓ I'm an introvert, I don't enjoy chatting with friends very often.
The use of 'UMM' is a filler and should be removed for grammatical correctness and clarity. The phrase 'enjoy chatting' correctly uses the verb + -ing form after 'enjoy'.
× However, when I do talk to them face to face, it's UMM make.
✓ However, when I do talk to them face to face, it makes me happy.
The phrase 'it's UMM make' is incorrect and unclear. The correct form is 'it makes me happy' to express the effect of talking face to face. 'Make' should be conjugated to 'makes' to agree with the singular subject 'it'.
× It makes me happy because I can observe their body language and umm how they feel during our conversation.
✓ It makes me happy because I can observe their body language and how they feel during our conversation.
The filler 'umm' should be removed for clarity. The sentence correctly uses 'observe' followed by noun phrases. No other grammatical errors here.
× Most of times we chat about university or our new advanced courses, but rest of the time we talk about our other friends and gossip about them.
✓ Most of the time we chat about university or our new advanced courses, but the rest of the time we talk about our other friends and gossip about them.
The phrase 'Most of times' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'Most of the time'. Similarly, 'rest of the time' requires the definite article 'the' to be grammatically correct.
× I can't catch up with several friends at once and have go have a great time together.
✓ I can't catch up with several friends at once and have a great time together.
The phrase 'have go have' is incorrect. The correct phrase is 'have a great time'. The verb 'have' should be followed by the article 'a' and the noun 'great time'.
× For example, we often go to the coffee shop or park where we can talk about different topics like university or play games and enjoy each other's company.
✓ For example, we often go to the coffee shop or park where we can talk about different topics like university, play games, and enjoy each other's company.
The sentence is mostly correct, but adding commas improves clarity. No major grammatical errors related to prepositions here.
× I prefer to communicate face to face because it allows me to observe body language and understand the other's pers, the other person's emotion.
✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because it allows me to observe body language and understand the other person's emotions.
The phrase 'the other's pers' is incorrect and unclear. It should be 'the other person's emotions'. Also, 'emotions' is plural to match the context.
× And however, I use uh social media sometimes to stay in touch with friends who in university.
✓ However, I sometimes use social media to stay in touch with friends who are in university.
The phrase 'who in university' is missing the verb 'are'. Also, 'And however' is redundant; 'However' alone is sufficient. The adverb 'sometimes' is better placed before the verb 'use'.
× But sometimes disagreements happens when we have different opinions and it could be very frustrating.
✓ But sometimes disagreements happen when we have different opinions, and it can be very frustrating.
The subject 'disagreements' is plural, so the verb should be 'happen' not 'happens'. Also, 'could be' is changed to 'can be' to better express possibility in this context.
