× Yes, I would like to talk with them whenever I get free time or if I post anything on social media, I would like to reply to them and have a chat with them.

✓ Yes, I like to talk with them whenever I get free time or if I post anything on social media, I like to reply to them and have a chat with them.

The use of 'would like' implies a conditional or polite desire, but here the student is expressing a habitual action, so the simple present 'like' is more appropriate.

× Most of the times I used to discuss what's happening in our personal lives and the work related stuffs and if we uh, if I plan for any vacation, I ask them to join with me uh, so that it will be a memorable trip.

✓ Most of the time I used to discuss what's happening in our personal lives and the work-related stuff and if I plan any vacation, I ask them to join me so that it will be a memorable trip.

'Most of the times' should be 'Most of the time' because 'time' is uncountable here. 'Stuffs' is incorrect; 'stuff' is uncountable and does not have a plural form. 'Join with me' should be 'join me' as 'join' does not require 'with' in this context.

× Well, it actually depends. If umm group of friends are available, we will make a conference call and then we will chat. Or else mostly it's with only one friend.

✓ Well, it actually depends. If a group of friends is available, we will make a conference call and then we will chat. Otherwise, mostly it's with only one friend.

'Group' is a singular noun, so it should be 'a group of friends is available' not 'are available'. Also, 'Or else' is better replaced with 'Otherwise' for clarity.

× I would personally prefer to meet them in person and talk about all the things because it will. It makes me feel so lively and I can see and express directly with them. However, due to different circumstances, it always uh, uh.

✓ I personally prefer to meet them in person and talk about everything because it makes me feel so lively and I can see and express myself directly with them. However, due to different circumstances, it is not always possible.

'Would personally prefer' is better as 'personally prefer' to express a general preference. 'It will.' is incomplete and removed. 'All the things' is better as 'everything'. 'Express directly with them' should be 'express myself directly with them' to include the reflexive pronoun. The last sentence is incomplete and corrected for clarity.

× Absolutely. I argue with them most of the time. In particular when we uh, talk about our uh, film actors, umm, the IT will definitely lead to an argument, umm, because who, who is superior and that time, uh, I will used to argue with them.

✓ Absolutely. I argue with them most of the time. In particular, when we talk about our film actors, it definitely leads to an argument because of who is superior, and at that time, I usually argue with them.

'The IT' is incorrect; it should be 'it'. 'Will definitely lead' is better as 'definitely leads' to match habitual present tense. 'I will used to argue' is incorrect; 'used to' is for past habits and cannot be combined with 'will'. 'I usually argue' correctly expresses habitual action.
