Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and unclear words such as 'Pamela' which confuse the listener. Use clear and natural expressions, and keep your answer concise and relevant. For example, directly state your opinion and support it with a clear reason.

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends because in today's fast-paced world, it's an efficient way to stay connected and check on their well-being when we can't meet in person.

Suggestion: Reduce the use of filler words like 'uh' and 'you know' to make your speech more fluent. Also, use linking words to connect ideas smoothly, such as 'for example' or 'whereas'.

Example: It depends on how close I am to the person. For example, I share details about my day with close friends, whereas with colleagues, I usually discuss work-related tasks.

Suggestion: Avoid uncommon or incorrect words like 'husbanding' and reduce filler words. Use simple and clear vocabulary to express your ideas. Also, structure your answer with a clear topic sentence and supporting details linked logically.

Example: I prefer chatting with a group of friends because it helps me stay connected with many people at once, which saves time and allows me to relax afterward.

Suggestion: Try to be more specific and avoid vague phrases like 'many things' and 'just in case'. Use linking words to organize your answer clearly, and provide specific reasons for your preferences.

Example: It depends on factors like my relationship with the person and my schedule. However, I prefer face-to-face communication with close friends because spending time together in person is refreshing and more meaningful.

Suggestion: Avoid using uncommon or complex words incorrectly, such as 'effectuates compunctions'. Use simple and clear language to express your ideas. Also, organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and supporting reasons linked logically.

Example: No, I avoid arguing with my friends because it can cause regret. Instead, I prefer to talk things through calmly and believe in showing love and understanding.

× I think in this, uh, fast-paced world, uh, chatting is a utilitarian way for making sure that our friends or relatives are OK or not

✓ I think in this, uh, fast-paced world, uh, chatting is a utilitarian way to make sure that our friends or relatives are OK or not

The phrase 'way for making sure' is incorrect; the correct form is 'way to make sure'. This is a common collocation issue where 'way to' is followed by the base form of the verb. Using 'for making' is not standard in this context.

× because most of us are uh, Pamela in this, uh, world and we don't have uh, enough time for uh, visiting in person, our friends and chatting is a good way.

✓ because most of us are, uh, busy in this, uh, world and we don't have, uh, enough time to visit our friends in person, and chatting is a good way.

The word 'Pamela' seems to be a mishearing or typo; likely the intended word is 'busy'. Also, 'time for visiting in person, our friends' is incorrect; the correct form is 'time to visit our friends in person'. The preposition 'for' is incorrectly used here, and the word order is awkward.

× For husbanding my time, I prefer to chat with a group of my people, uh, in this way I can stay connected with, uh, most of my friends and uh, uh, after that I can enjoy my, uh, rest of my time for myself.

✓ To manage my time efficiently, I prefer to chat with a group of my friends; in this way, I can stay connected with most of my friends and then enjoy the rest of my time for myself.

The phrase 'For husbanding my time' is incorrect; 'husbanding' is rarely used and sounds unnatural here. The correct phrase is 'To manage my time efficiently'. Also, 'a group of my people' is vague; 'a group of my friends' is clearer. The sentence structure is improved by splitting into two parts with a semicolon and adding appropriate conjunctions.

× I try to solve my problems with talking and my belief is that we should give others a love and a passion for a living, not arguing.

✓ I try to solve my problems by talking, and my belief is that we should give others love and passion for living, not arguing.

The phrase 'solve my problems with talking' is better expressed as 'solve my problems by talking' because 'by' indicates the method. Also, 'a love and a passion for a living' is incorrect; 'love and passion for living' is the correct form without articles. 'A living' refers to livelihood, which is not the intended meaning here.
