Do you like chatting with friends?

What do you usually chat about with friends?
Candidate
We always say literally everything from like your daily life to philosophy and even outer space and whatever we talk with each, Whatever we chat with each other is always inspiring and interesting and we can always chat for a long time without interrupting by any other things.
Examiner
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
Candidate
So I prefer to chat with only one friend and to be honest I only have one best friend. I think that's enough for me while I'm in a group. I would tend to like hide myself and try not to speak out. I'm kind of introverted.
Examiner
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
Candidate
I prefer communicate face to face because you can in that way you can see your friend how his facial expressions are and the body languages. So that's your conversation will be much direct and meaningful. Well, whereas social media don't have that advantage.

× I can OK write myself down whenever I'm like having a difficult time
✓ I can write myself down whenever I'm having a difficult time
The phrase 'OK write' is incorrect; 'OK' is unnecessary here. Also, 'I'm like having' should be 'I'm having' because 'like' is used informally and is redundant in this context. The verb 'having' is correctly in the present participle form to indicate ongoing action.
× and secondly, I can also know new things from my friends and that's helpful
✓ and secondly, I can also learn new things from my friends and that's helpful
The verb 'know' is incorrectly used here; the correct verb is 'learn' when referring to acquiring new information. The preposition 'from' is correct, but the verb choice affects the meaning.
× Whatever we talk with each
✓ Whatever we talk about with each other
The verb 'talk' requires the preposition 'about' when referring to topics of conversation. Also, 'each' should be 'each other' to correctly express reciprocal action.
× Whatever we chat with each other is always inspiring and interesting and we can always chat for a long time without interrupting by any other things
✓ Whatever we chat about with each other is always inspiring and interesting, and we can always chat for a long time without being interrupted by anything else
The verb 'chat' requires the preposition 'about' to indicate the topic. The phrase 'without interrupting by any other things' is incorrect; it should be 'without being interrupted by anything else' to correctly express passive interruption. Also, adding a comma before 'and' improves sentence clarity.
× I would tend to like hide myself and try not to speak out
✓ I tend to hide myself and try not to speak out
The phrase 'would tend to like' is incorrect; 'tend to' is sufficient to express habitual action. The reflexive pronoun 'myself' is acceptable here, but 'hide myself' is a bit informal; however, it is understandable. The phrase 'speak out' is correct.
× I prefer communicate face to face because you can in that way you can see your friend how his facial expressions are and the body languages
✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because in that way you can see your friend's facial expressions and body language
The verb 'prefer' should be followed by 'to' plus the base verb: 'prefer to communicate'. The phrase 'you can in that way you can see' is redundant; 'because in that way you can see' is correct. 'Your friend how his facial expressions are' is incorrect; it should be 'your friend's facial expressions'. 'Body languages' should be singular 'body language' as it is an uncountable noun.
× Well, whereas social media don't have that advantage
✓ Well, whereas social media doesn't have that advantage
'Social media' is treated as a singular collective noun here, so the verb should be 'doesn't' instead of 'don't' to agree with the subject.
× It's normal for people to have different aspects and opinions for different things and but I wouldn't say that we would argue fears with each other
✓ It's normal for people to have different views and opinions about different things, but I wouldn't say that we argue fiercely with each other
The word 'aspects' is incorrect; 'views' or 'perspectives' is more appropriate. The preposition 'for' should be 'about' when referring to opinions on topics. The phrase 'argue fears' is incorrect; likely intended 'argue fiercely'. Also, 'and but' is redundant; only 'but' is needed.
