Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Try to avoid redundancy and improve sentence flow by combining ideas more naturally. Use linking words like "so" or "therefore" to connect sentences smoothly. Also, use more precise vocabulary such as "maintain our friendship" instead of "help us stay connected."

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends, either by texting or face-to-face. Since some of them live in different countries, we have weekly video calls to maintain our friendship.

Sugerencia: Improve grammar and clarity by using correct expressions like "current lives" instead of "current livings." Use linking words such as "and" or "also" to connect ideas. Be more specific by giving examples of jokes or experiences shared.

Ejemplo: We often talk about our current lives and share popular jokes from our countries. I especially enjoy discussing our interests, like cooking and traveling, so we can learn from each other's experiences.

Sugerencia: Focus on grammar and word choice, for example, "focus on just one person's reaction" and "make our conversation more effective and deeper." Use linking words like "because" to explain reasons clearly. Avoid redundancy by not repeating similar ideas.

Ejemplo: If I had a choice, I prefer chatting with only one friend because I can focus on their reactions and respond thoughtfully, which makes our conversation more effective and meaningful.

Sugerencia: Use smoother linking words such as "however" and "therefore" to improve coherence. Also, avoid awkward phrases like "makes us really impossible"; instead, say "makes it difficult." Be concise and clear.

Ejemplo: I love communicating with my friends face-to-face; however, since many of them live in countries like America, Australia, and China, it is difficult to do so. Therefore, we usually communicate via social media.

Sugerencia: Complete your sentences fully and avoid awkward phrasing like "the feeling can be incredibly worse." Use correct expressions such as "it can make me feel very upset." Also, use linking words like "but" and "so" to connect ideas logically.

Ejemplo: No, I don't like to argue with my friends because it can make me feel very upset. But when my friends argue with each other, I usually listen carefully to their opinions and try to help them understand each other better.

× Yes, I like to chat with my friends either texting or face to face.

✓ Yes, I like to chat with my friends either by texting or face to face.

The phrase 'either texting or face to face' lacks the preposition 'by' before 'texting' to correctly indicate the method of chatting. Adding 'by' clarifies the means of communication.

× However, some of my friends are living in different countries, so we often have a video call weekly to help us stay connected with each other.

✓ However, some of my friends live in different countries, so we often have a video call weekly to help us stay connected with each other.

The verb 'are living' suggests a temporary action, but living in different countries is a permanent state here. Using the simple present 'live' is more appropriate for permanent situations.

× We often talk about our current livings and sometimes we share the jokes that popular in our country.

✓ We often talk about our current lives and sometimes we share jokes that are popular in our country.

The word 'livings' is incorrect; the correct plural form is 'lives'. Also, 'the jokes that popular' lacks the verb 'are' and the article 'the' before 'jokes' is unnecessary here.

× We often talk about our current livings and sometimes we share the jokes that popular in our country.

✓ We often talk about our current lives and sometimes we share jokes that are popular in our country.

The definite article 'the' before 'jokes' is unnecessary when speaking generally. Removing 'the' makes the sentence more natural.

× The one I love the most is we also share our interests like cooking and traveling so that we can learn the experience from each other.

✓ What I love the most is that we also share our interests like cooking and traveling so that we can learn from each other's experiences.

'The one' is incorrect here; 'What' is better to introduce the clause. Also, 'learn the experience' should be 'learn from each other's experiences' to be grammatically correct and natural.

× If I had a choice, I prefer to chat with only one friend because I can highly focus on just one person reaction and can help me to respond thoughtfully.

✓ If I had a choice, I would prefer to chat with only one friend because I can highly focus on just one person's reaction and it can help me respond thoughtfully.

'One person reaction' should be 'one person's reaction' to show possession. Also, 'can help me to respond' is better as 'it can help me respond' for clarity and correctness.

× I think this can make our conversation more effectively and more deeper.

✓ I think this can make our conversation more effective and deeper.

'More effectively' is an adverb but should be the adjective 'more effective' to describe 'conversation'. Also, 'more deeper' is incorrect; 'deeper' alone is sufficient as it is the comparative form.

× I love to communicate with my friends face to face but the reality makes us really impossible to do so because many of my friends are living in different countries like America, Australia and China, so we can only communicate with each other on social media.

✓ I love to communicate with my friends face to face but the reality makes it really impossible to do so because many of my friends live in different countries like America, Australia and China, so we can only communicate with each other on social media.

'Makes us really impossible' is incorrect; it should be 'makes it really impossible'. Also, 'are living' should be 'live' for permanent situations.

× No, I don't like to argue with people, especially my friends, because the feeling can be incredibly worse.

✓ No, I don't like to argue with people, especially my friends, because the feeling can be incredibly bad.

'Worse' is a comparative adjective and needs a comparison; 'bad' is the correct adjective to describe the feeling here.

× However, when my friends argue with each other, I usually play the listener role to listen carefully to their thoughts and opinions, try to help them understand each other better and.

✓ However, when my friends argue with each other, I usually play the listener role by listening carefully to their thoughts and opinions and try to help them understand each other better.

The sentence ends abruptly with 'and.' Also, 'play the listener role to listen' is awkward; 'play the listener role by listening' is better. The sentence structure needs correction for clarity and completeness.
