Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear and relevant with good content. To improve, make it more concise and avoid repetition (e.g., "personal things" and "situations in my life" overlap). Use one strong topic sentence, then one or two supporting details with a linking word. Watch minor hesitations and contractions for fluency.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends, but I prefer deeper conversations rather than small talk. For example, we often discuss our life goals and personal challenges, and I value their advice when I face a difficult decision.

Sugerencia: Good content with relevant details. Improve coherence by using linking words (firstly, also, finally) and avoid repeating similar ideas. Keep sentences shorter and more structured: one topic sentence plus specific examples of topics.

Ejemplo: I usually talk about what I'm doing at the moment and any challenges I face, especially work or personal matters. For instance, I might explain a problem at work and ask for their suggestions, and I also check in to see how they are doing.

Sugerencia: Your answer conveys the idea but is weakened by hesitations and repetition. Give a clear topic sentence, then one condition and an example. Remove fillers (uh) and repeated phrases to improve fluency and coherence.

Ejemplo: I prefer chatting in a small group of friends if I know them well. For example, when the group is close, we have lively discussions and share personal stories; however, with strangers I usually stick to one-on-one conversations.

Sugerencia: Clear opinion and reason given. Improve by removing repetition and tightening the explanation; use one linking phrase and a specific example of nuance (tone, body language). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer face-to-face communication because it allows for nonverbal cues like tone and body language. For example, when discussing emotional topics, seeing someone's expression helps me understand their feelings better than a text message would.

Sugerencia: Good contrast between past and present behavior. Improve by using past and present tenses correctly and avoiding hesitation. Give a clear topic sentence, then a brief example of how you handle conflicts now (open discussion, listening).

Ejemplo: I used to argue about small things when I was younger, but now I prefer open discussions. For instance, if a disagreement happens, I try to calmly explain my perspective and listen to theirs so we can find a solution together.

× I prefer to talk about ideas and personal things that are going on with our lives.

✓ I prefer to talk about ideas and personal things that are going on in my life.

The student mixed pronouns 'our' with the singular possessive context 'my life'. The conversation is about the student's own experiences, so use 'my' for consistency. Also 'lives' should be singular to match 'my'. Suggestion: keep pronouns consistent with the subject (use 'my' when speaking about yourself).

× Sometimes I also like to have insights from our friends about the situations in my life.

✓ Sometimes I also like to get insights from my friends about situations in my life.

Mixes 'our friends' with 'my life', causing inconsistency. 'Have insights from' is awkward; native usage prefers 'get insights from'. Use 'my friends' to match 'my life'. Suggestion: maintain consistent possessive pronouns and use natural collocations like 'get insights from'.

× Usually I will chat about what I'm doing with my life nowadays and sometimes I would also talk to them about the problems I have at work and my personal life as well.

✓ Usually I chat about what I'm doing in my life nowadays, and sometimes I also talk to them about problems I have at work and in my personal life.

Mixes future-like 'will' and conditional 'would' with habitual present meaning. For habitual actions, use simple present 'chat'/'talk'. Also streamline repeated pronouns and prepositions: 'in my life' and 'in my personal life' are more natural. Suggestion: use simple present for routines and avoid mixing modal forms unless conditional meaning is intended.

× I prefer to chat with a group of people that I know, uh, depends on the group that I'm with.

✓ I prefer to chat with a group of people that I know; it depends on the group I'm with.

Sentence fragment 'depends on the group that I'm with' lacks a subject. Replace with 'it depends' to form a complete clause and connect ideas properly. Suggestion: include explicit subjects for dependent clauses (use 'it depends').

× If I'm close to everybody in the group, then I would be, I would happily, I would have, I'll be happy to talk to them.

✓ If I'm close to everybody in the group, then I'll be happy to talk to them.

Overuse of modal verbs and conflicting tenses creates confusion. For a conditional sentence of present/future likelihood, use 'I'll' (I will) in the result clause. Remove redundant fragments. Suggestion: choose a single correct modal for the conditional result and simplify.

× I I prefer to communicate face to face because the communication can be nuanced and sometimes we don't get the whole message of what we or the other person is saying over the social media because we only see one aspect of what they are saying.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because communication can be nuanced, and sometimes we don't get the whole message of what the other person is saying on social media since we only see one aspect of their message.

Repeated 'I' is a disfluency. 'The communication' can be simplified to 'communication'. 'We or the other person' is awkward; use 'the other person'. Use 'on social media' (not 'over the social media'). Replace 'what they are saying' with 'their message' for clarity. Suggestion: remove filler repetitions, simplify noun phrases, and use 'on' with 'social media'.

× I tended to argue with my friends when I was younger about every single little thing, but now as I've grown older, if there is any issue that arises from the friendship I I will start something like an open discussion.

✓ I used to argue with my friends when I was younger about every little thing, but now as I've grown older, if any issue arises in a friendship, I will start an open discussion.

'Tended to argue' is not wrong but 'used to argue' is a clearer expression for past habitual actions. Remove duplicated 'I'. 'If there is any issue that arises from the friendship' is wordy; use 'if any issue arises in a friendship'. Keep 'I will' for future action. Suggestion: use 'used to' for past habits, eliminate repetition, and prefer concise phrasing.
