Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Try to make your answer more concise and avoid filler words like 'uh'. Also, use clearer linking words to connect your ideas smoothly. For example, start with a direct answer, then explain your preference with specific reasons.

Ejemplo: Yes, I definitely like chatting with friends, especially face-to-face conversations. I find them more engaging than texting or phone calls because I can read their expressions and emotions. We usually talk about everyday events and share small stories from our daily lives.

Sugerencia: Avoid filler words and improve sentence structure for clarity. Use linking words to connect ideas and provide more specific details about the topics you discuss.

Ejemplo: I usually chat about various topics, but one common subject is basketball. For instance, I have a close friend who is also a basketball fan, and we often analyze daily games and engage in friendly trash talk about our favorite teams and their opponents.

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear but could be improved by using linking words and more precise vocabulary. Also, try to avoid repeating similar phrases and make your sentences more fluid.

Ejemplo: Because I tend to feel anxious, I prefer chatting one-on-one or with a small group of close friends rather than speaking in front of a large group. This setting makes me feel more comfortable and relaxed.

Sugerencia: Good answer with clear reasons. To improve, try to use more varied vocabulary and linking words to connect your ideas smoothly.

Ejemplo: I prefer face-to-face communication because it allows me to convey and perceive emotions effectively. In contrast, social media and messaging apps often lack tone and context, which can lead to misunderstandings.

Sugerencia: Your answer is somewhat repetitive and incomplete. Avoid filler words and finish your thoughts clearly. Use linking words to organize your ideas logically and provide specific examples or reasons.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do argue with friends sometimes because disagreements are a natural part of any relationship. However, I believe it's important to handle these arguments maturely and respectfully to maintain a strong friendship.

× I prefer the face to face conversations.

✓ I prefer face-to-face conversations.

The phrase 'face to face' should be hyphenated when used as an adjective before a noun, so 'face-to-face conversations' is correct.

× just small talks about some random things that happen in our daily basis.

✓ just small talk about some random things that happen on a daily basis.

'Small talk' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized. Also, the correct preposition is 'on a daily basis' rather than 'in our daily basis'.

× I got this friend for a long time that is a basketball fan just like me

✓ I have had this friend for a long time who is a basketball fan just like me

The verb 'got' is informal and incorrect here; 'have had' is appropriate for possession over time. Also, 'that' should be 'who' when referring to people.

× we are used to just analyze everyday's basketball game

✓ we are used to just analyzing every day's basketball game

After 'used to', the verb should be in the '-ing' form. Also, 'everyday's' is incorrect; it should be 'every day's' to indicate each day.

× I'm an anxious person so I prefer chatting with someone in particular or maybe some of my closest friends together instead of chatting and talking to a group of people and in front of them.

✓ I'm an anxious person, so I prefer chatting with someone in particular or maybe some of my closest friends together instead of chatting and talking to a group of people in front of them.

The phrase 'and in front of them' is awkward; removing 'and' clarifies the sentence. Also, a comma is needed after 'person' to separate clauses.

× Face to face communication is my only to go because you get all the feelings and emotions that you're talking about and also give them to the person you are talking with.

✓ Face-to-face communication is my only way to go because you get all the feelings and emotions that you're talking about and can also give them to the person you are talking with.

'Face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face' when used as an adjective. The phrase 'only to go' is incorrect; 'only way to go' is the correct expression. Also, 'can' is needed before 'also give' for parallel structure.

× But in social media and messengers you can't properly adjust your tone and what you actually mean.

✓ But on social media and messengers, you can't properly adjust your tone and what you actually mean.

The correct preposition is 'on' when referring to platforms like social media and messengers.

× Of course, I don't know a person who doesn't argue with his friends, his or him, her friends.

✓ Of course, I don't know a person who doesn't argue with his or her friends.

The phrase 'his or him, her friends' is incorrect. The correct pronouns are 'his or her friends' to maintain subject case and clarity.

× And of course there are times that, uh, you get to a disagreement and argue.

✓ And of course, there are times when you have a disagreement and argue.

The phrase 'get to a disagreement' is incorrect; 'have a disagreement' is correct. Also, 'times that' should be 'times when' to refer to occasions.

× It's totally natural and it's important to face them maturely and without.

✓ It's totally natural, and it's important to face them maturely and without anger.

The sentence ends abruptly with 'without.' It needs an object to complete the phrase, such as 'anger' or 'hostility,' to make sense.
