Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid small grammar errors (e.g., articles, word order), and use one or two specific examples to support your idea. Keep answers under five sentences and use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas.

Example: Yes, I do. I enjoy chatting with friends and family because it lets me share thoughts and feelings. For example, when I’m upset I often talk to my sister, and just talking helps me feel better.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and organize supporting details with linking words. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "mood" not "Moody") and avoid repetition. Provide one concrete example to illustrate typical topics.

Example: We usually chat about daily life, such as work, food, and hobbies like gardening. For instance, last week we discussed a new recipe I tried and how I plan to fix a problem in my garden.

Suggestion: Start with a direct preference sentence, then add two clear reasons using linking words like "because" and "for example." Correct plural/singular and word choice (e.g., "advice" not "advices").

Example: I prefer chatting in a group because people bring different ideas and experiences. For example, when we discuss travel plans in a group, someone always suggests a useful tip I hadn’t considered.

Suggestion: Be concise and accurate: clearly state preference, give a brief reason, then acknowledge the alternative with a contrast link like "however." Fix grammar (e.g., "in person", "I can’t always meet").

Example: I prefer to communicate in person because facial expressions and tone help understanding. However, since I work in the UK and cannot always meet everyone, I often call or use social media to stay updated.

Suggestion: Answer directly, then expand with a concise reason and an example. Avoid repetition and correct phrasing (e.g., "I don’t usually argue, but I will in debates"). Keep it to two to three sentences.

Example: Very rarely — I avoid arguments because I prefer harmony. However, I do take part in debates with friends when we discuss important topics, such as politics or ethics.

× I love chatting with the other people.

✓ I love chatting with other people.

The definite article 'the' before 'other people' is unnecessary. Use 'other people' to talk about people in general. Remove 'the' to make the phrase natural.

× When we are speaking we can share our thoughts and feelings to others.

✓ When we are speaking we can share our thoughts and feelings with others.

Use the preposition 'with' rather than 'to' after 'share' when indicating mutual exchange. 'Share something with someone' is the correct collocation.

× If we are in a sad while, sharing can reduce our pain.

✓ If we are feeling sad, sharing can reduce our pain.

The phrase 'in a sad while' is ungrammatical. Use 'feeling sad' to describe an emotional state. This corrects word choice and sentence flow.

× So I love chatting with the friends and family.

✓ So I love chatting with friends and family.

Definite article 'the' before plural nouns here is unnecessary when speaking generally. Remove 'the' to indicate people in general.

× I normally talk about our daily routines, about gardening, eating, my habits, whatever I want.

✓ I normally talk about my daily routines, gardening, food, my habits, or whatever I want.

Using 'our' contradicts the speaker's perspective; 'my' fits when describing personal conversation topics. 'Eating' is better expressed as 'food' in this list. Use parallel structure and commas appropriately.

× If I'm in a bit Moody, I love to talk about my situation, what happened, how it happened, how can I resolve it about that.

✓ If I'm a bit moody, I like to talk about my situation: what happened, how it happened, and how I can resolve it.

Capitalization error ('Moody'), article needed ('a bit moody'), and awkward clause order. Use 'I like' for natural preference. Place 'how I can resolve it' in normal subordinate clause order and remove extraneous 'about that'.

× I love to talk with a group of people because a group of people include many friends with the different ideas and different thoughts, so we can share our things and they can also share their own experience and advices, so it's good to adapt something from them.

✓ I love to talk with a group of people because a group includes many friends with different ideas and thoughts, so we can share our experiences and they can also share their own advice, so it's good to learn something from them.

Subject-verb agreement: 'a group includes' (not 'include'). Remove unnecessary articles ('the different'). Use plural 'experiences' and uncountable 'advice' (not 'advices'). 'Adapt something from them' is awkward; 'learn something from them' is natural.

× Personally I prefer to communicate in personal so we can understand their facial expression and their feelings.

✓ Personally I prefer to communicate in person so we can understand their facial expressions and feelings.

Use 'in person' (not 'in personal'). 'Facial expression' should be plural 'facial expressions' when speaking generally. 'Their feelings' is fine; remove redundant 'their' before 'facial expressions' if desired.

× But as per my situation, I work in the UK currently so I can able to meet my friends face to face so I usually call them by phone.

✓ But at the moment I am working in the UK, so I am not able to meet my friends face to face; I usually call them on the phone.

Use 'at the moment' or 'currently' and present continuous 'am working' for temporary situation. 'Can able to' is incorrect; use 'am not able to' or 'cannot' to express inability. 'Call them by phone' is unnatural; use 'call them on the phone.' Use punctuation to separate clauses.

× Social media also help me to connect with my family and friends up to date.

✓ Social media also help me stay up to date with my family and friends.

Use 'help me stay up to date with' instead of 'help me to connect ... up to date.' This corrects verb pattern and preposition usage.

× Very rarely. I'm not a person who's showing my ideas and opposing their ideas.

✓ Very rarely. I'm not the kind of person who shows my ideas and opposes others' ideas.

Use 'the kind of person who' rather than 'a person who's showing.' Use simple present 'shows' and 'opposes' for habitual actions. 'Their ideas' is better as 'others' ideas' for clarity and parallelism.

× But if it's like a situation like a debate or something, I I argue with my friends but not normally.

✓ But if it's a situation like a debate, I may argue with my friends, though not usually.

Remove duplicated 'like' and extra 'I'. Use modal 'may' to indicate possibility and adverb 'usually' for frequency; place adverbs correctly. Simplify phrasing for clarity.
