Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is generally clear and relevant, but it is slightly long and contains some redundancy. Try to be more concise and avoid repeating similar ideas. Also, pay attention to subject-verb agreement and plural forms, for example, 'talking with my friends' instead of 'talking with my friend'.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends. I usually talk to them once or twice a month to keep up with their lives and offer support if needed. I find that regular conversations help maintain our friendships.

Sugerencia: Your answer covers a good range of topics, but the language is somewhat informal and there are some grammatical errors. Avoid using 'literally' in this context and improve sentence structure for clarity. Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly.

Ejemplo: I usually chat with my friends about various topics, such as our career choices, new relationships, or upcoming trips. Sometimes, we also discuss deeper issues, sharing our emotions and fears to support each other.

Sugerencia: This is a well-structured and clear answer with appropriate examples. To improve, try to use more varied vocabulary and linking phrases to enhance coherence.

Ejemplo: It depends on the situation. For instance, I prefer talking to one friend when sharing personal feelings because it allows for a deeper, more intimate conversation. On the other hand, I enjoy chatting with a group when planning events, as it generates more ideas.

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear and relevant, but some phrases could be more natural, such as 'face to face' should be 'face-to-face' and 'other form of communications' should be 'other forms of communication'. Also, try to use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly.

Ejemplo: I believe face-to-face communication is the best because it lets you hear the other person and observe their facial expressions, which helps you understand them better. However, if that's not possible, I'm comfortable using other forms of communication, like social media.

Sugerencia: Your answer addresses the question but contains some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. For example, 'being able to apologize just show' should be 'being able to apologise shows'. Also, try to use linking words to improve coherence and avoid repetition.

Ejemplo: Yes, I sometimes argue with my friends, especially when they cross my boundaries and refuse to listen. I think it's common for friends to overstep limits occasionally. However, apologising shows responsibility and respect, and if they don't apologise, I can get upset.

× I often talk with my friends once or twice per month to stay updated on their lives and know how they are doing in general, so in case of any emergency, we can support each other on time.

✓ I often talk with my friends once or twice per month to stay updated on their lives and know how they are doing in general, so in case of any emergencies, we can support each other on time.

The phrase 'any emergency' should be plural 'any emergencies' because it refers to any possible instances, not a single specific one. Using the plural form is more natural and grammatically correct in this context.

× Additionally, I found talking with my friend is a great way to maintain our friendships.

✓ Additionally, I found talking with my friends is a great way to maintain our friendships.

The singular 'my friend' is inconsistent with 'our friendships' and the context of talking with multiple friends. Using the plural 'my friends' aligns with the plural possessive and the general meaning.

× I literally talk with my friend about everything.

✓ I literally talk with my friends about everything.

The singular 'my friend' should be plural 'my friends' to match the context of discussing various topics with multiple friends, as indicated elsewhere in the transcript.

× Sometimes I also talk deep stuff with my friends such as share our emotions and feelings that we feel scared of, open up to others.

✓ Sometimes I also talk about deep stuff with my friends such as sharing our emotions and feelings that we are scared of, and opening up to others.

The verb 'talk' requires the preposition 'about' when referring to topics. Also, the verbs following 'such as' should be in the gerund form to maintain parallel structure. The phrase 'feel scared of' is better expressed as 'are scared of' for clarity.

× If my friends failed to do them, I will be angry sometimes.

✓ If my friends fail to do so, I will be angry sometimes.

The pronoun 'them' is incorrect here because it does not clearly refer to a plural noun. 'Do so' is the correct phrase to refer back to the action of apologizing. Also, 'failed' should be present tense 'fail' to match the conditional structure.
