Do you like chatting with friends?
Candidato
I enjoy talking to friends over some little things in our lives so I can catch up with how they're doing and how I can help them with anything.

What do you usually chat about with friends?
Candidato
I just basically tell them where have I been, people that I met, interesting opinions that I received from people around me, from the colleagues, from my boss, and umm, how happy I am today. That's usually it.

Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
Candidato
I rather prefer one-on-one session with a friend so that I can dig deep in what I'm interested. I I don't like talking in a big group because it's just only get on to the surface, but it doesn't go deep and I don't really like it that way.

Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
Candidato
It actually comes down to the seriousness of the matter. If it's a serious matter then I'll go face to face, but if it's a light matter, I can do social media posting.

Do you argue with friends?
Candidato
I do argue with friends sometimes but only when I have solid points. But I think I'm very open minded so I would try to see what the other people think.

× I just basically tell them where have I been, people that I met, interesting opinions that I received from people around me, from the colleagues, from my boss, and umm, how happy I am today.
✓ I just basically tell them where I have been, people that I met, interesting opinions that I received from people around me, from the colleagues, from my boss, and umm, how happy I am today.
The original sentence incorrectly uses the question word order 'where have I been' in a statement. In English, indirect questions or embedded clauses should use the statement word order 'where I have been'. This is a common error when embedding questions within statements. To improve, use the correct word order for embedded clauses.
× I rather prefer one-on-one session with a friend so that I can dig deep in what I'm interested.
✓ I rather prefer a one-on-one session with a friend so that I can dig deep into what I'm interested in.
The original sentence misses the article 'a' before 'one-on-one session' and uses 'dig deep in' instead of the correct preposition 'dig deep into'. Also, 'interested' requires the preposition 'in' to complete the phrase. The conjunction 'so that' is correct, but the prepositions and article need correction for grammatical accuracy.
× I I don't like talking in a big group because it's just only get on to the surface, but it doesn't go deep and I don't really like it that way.
✓ I don't like talking in a big group because it just only gets on to the surface, but it doesn't go deep and I don't really like it that way.
The sentence has a subject-verb agreement issue where 'it' requires the verb 'gets' (third person singular). Also, the phrase 'just only get on to the surface' is awkward; 'just only gets on to the surface' is better. The repeated 'I' at the start is likely a typo and should be removed. The conjunctions 'because' and 'but' are used correctly.
