Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail and a linking word. Keep within 3–4 sentences and vary vocabulary (e.g., use 'keep in touch' or 'maintain relationships').

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends because it helps me keep in touch after busy periods. For example, a quick video call lets us share recent events and strengthens our bond, even when we can't meet in person.

Sugerencia: Give a focused topic sentence and one or two specific examples rather than repeating 'catch up'. Use linking words such as 'for instance' or 'often' to organize details and use varied vocabulary like 'work updates' or 'family news'.

Ejemplo: We usually chat about how our days went and share life updates. For instance, I might tell friends about a project at work or a family celebration, which helps us stay connected.

Sugerencia: Complete your sentence and correct grammar (e.g., 'overstimulated'). Begin with a clear preference, give one reason, and finish the thought. Avoid vague phrases and explain briefly how one-to-one chats help you.

Ejemplo: I prefer chatting one-on-one because group chats usually leave me overstimulated. As a result, I can express myself better and have a deeper conversation when it's just one friend.

Sugerencia: Finish your sentence and be specific about why face-to-face reduces miscommunication (mention tone, body language). Use linking words like 'because' and 'therefore' to connect reasons. Keep answers concise and error-free.

Ejemplo: I prefer face-to-face communication because seeing body language and hearing tone makes conversations clearer. Therefore, misunderstandings are less likely and we can spend meaningful time together.

Sugerencia: Avoid trailing off; complete your idea. Start with a clear statement, explain briefly why (respecting differences, listening), and give a short example or result. Use linking words like 'because' or 'however'.

Ejemplo: I usually avoid arguing with friends because we respect different perspectives and try to listen. For example, when we disagree about politics, we focus on understanding each other's views rather than escalating into an argument.

× I do like chatting with friends because it allows me to catch up with them after a long week or even months of not hanging out with each other.

✓ I like chatting with friends because it allows me to catch up with them after a long week or even months of not hanging out with them.

Redundant use of emphatic 'do' is unnecessary in a neutral present-tense statement. Also 'each other' at the end is less natural with 'them' earlier; use 'them' consistently. Suggestion: use simple present 'I like' for habitual preference and keep pronouns consistent.

× Also, it gives me time to create a stronger bond with them even if we just talk virtually.

✓ It also gives me time to create a stronger bond with them even if we only talk virtually.

Use of 'just' is colloquial and can be ambiguous; 'only' is clearer for restricting modality. Tense is present simple for habitual action, so change 'just' to 'only' to improve clarity.

× Usually we talk about just how our days went or news about our life, work or families because this gives us time to catch up after a long week or months of not contacting each other.

✓ Usually we talk about how our days went or news about our lives, work, or families because this gives us time to catch up after a long week or even months of not contacting each other.

Use plural 'lives' to agree with plural subject 'we' (singular/plural issue but fits present tense habitual context). Remove unnecessary 'just'. Add 'even' for clarity. Ensure commas in lists. Suggestion: match plural nouns to the plural subject.

× I prefer to chat with only one friend rather than a group of people because being in a crowded UMM group chat makes me over stimulated and I wouldn't be able to speak of the things that I want to say because.

✓ I prefer to chat with only one friend rather than a group because being in a crowded UMM group chat makes me overstimulated and I wouldn't be able to say what I want to say.

'Over stimulated' should be one word 'overstimulated' (adjective formation). The clause ended with an unfinished 'because.' Remove redundant 'because' and rephrase to 'say what I want to say.' Also 'a group of people' can be shortened to 'a group.'

× I prefer to communicate face to face rather than via social media because in that way we could hang out realistically and make each other feel comfortable.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face rather than via social media because that way we can hang out in person and make each other feel comfortable.

Use 'that way' instead of 'in that way' for naturalness, and 'in person' is clearer than 'realistically.' Modal 'could' suggests possibility; use 'can' for general preference. Also keep present tense habitual.

× This also reduces any miscommunications and.

✓ This also reduces any miscommunications.

The original sentence is incomplete due to a trailing 'and.' Remove 'and' to complete the sentence. Ensure sentences are complete with a subject and verb.

× I tend to not argue with my friends because I believe that we all have different perspectives and we have differences in our views.

✓ I tend not to argue with my friends because I believe that we all have different perspectives and differing views.

Use 'tend not to' rather than 'tend to not' for more natural word order. 'We have different perspectives and we have differences in our views' is repetitive; condense to 'different perspectives and differing views.'

× So it's a matter of mindset, whether we understand each other or just.

✓ So it's a matter of mindset: whether we understand each other or not.

The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly with 'just.' Replace with 'or not' to complete the contrast clause. Use a colon or conjunction to link clauses clearly.
