× Yes I do. Yes I do unless it's not an emergency situation.

✓ Yes I do, unless it is an emergency situation.

The phrase 'unless it's not' is incorrect because 'unless' already implies a negative condition. Using 'unless it is an emergency situation' is correct. Also, contractions like 'it's' should be expanded to 'it is' in formal speech for clarity.

× Actually, we talk about a diverse topics from family, studying, shopping, some dramas, our plans, gossiping other people.

✓ Actually, we talk about diverse topics such as family, studying, shopping, some dramas, our plans, and gossiping about other people.

The word 'topics' is plural, so 'a diverse topics' is incorrect. The article 'a' should be removed. Also, 'gossiping other people' should be 'gossiping about other people' to use the correct preposition.

× gossiping other people

✓ gossiping about other people

The verb 'gossiping' requires the preposition 'about' to indicate the subject of gossip. Omitting 'about' is a preposition error.

× but it's, I really enjoy to talking with them.

✓ but I really enjoy talking with them.

The phrase 'enjoy to talking' is incorrect. The verb 'enjoy' should be followed by the gerund form without 'to', so 'enjoy talking' is correct.

× It can reduce my stress level and it can makes me feel better about.

✓ It can reduce my stress level and it can make me feel better.

The verb 'makes' does not agree with the modal verb 'can'. After 'can', the base form of the verb should be used, so 'make' is correct. Also, 'feel better about' is incomplete and should be 'feel better'.

× I am more comfortable to speak with one friend

✓ I am more comfortable speaking with one friend

The phrase 'comfortable to speak' is incorrect. After 'comfortable', the gerund form is used, so 'comfortable speaking' is correct.

× there will be a lot of unread taxes

✓ there will be a lot of unread texts

The word 'taxes' is incorrect in this context; the intended word is 'texts'. This is a vocabulary error but also relates to plural noun usage.

× I lose my temper in such a buzzing situations.

✓ I lose my temper in such buzzing situations.

The article 'a' should not be used before the plural noun 'situations'. Removing 'a' corrects the singular/plural mismatch.

× I prefer to at least chatting for a couple of days

✓ I prefer to at least chat for a couple of days

The phrase 'prefer to at least chatting' is incorrect. After 'prefer to', the base verb form 'chat' should be used, not the gerund 'chatting'.

× I prefer to at least chatting for a couple of days

✓ I prefer at least chatting for a couple of days

Alternatively, if using 'chatting', the phrase should be 'I prefer at least chatting' without 'to'. This corrects the preposition usage.

× I want to be around.

✓ I want to be around them.

The phrase 'be around' requires an object to specify whom one wants to be around. Adding 'them' clarifies the meaning.
