× Yes I do because for some of my friends we don't see each other that often so sometimes I would love to give them a video call or just send a message, reach out to them to see how life have been.

✓ Yes I do because for some of my friends we don't see each other that often so sometimes I would love to give them a video call or just send a message, reach out to them to see how life has been.

The verb 'have' should be in the third person singular present form 'has' to agree with the singular subject 'life'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue where the verb must match the subject in number and person.

× We usually chat about news, work or people around our life.

✓ We usually chat about news, work or people around our lives.

The pronoun 'our' should be followed by the plural noun 'lives' because it refers to multiple individuals. Using 'life' (singular) is incorrect here as it does not agree with the plural possessive pronoun 'our'.

× For example, last time me and my friend we talked about one of the celebrities in China and and his TV shows just released and I really enjoyed it.

✓ For example, last time my friend and I talked about one of the celebrities in China and his TV show just released and I really enjoyed it.

The subject pronoun 'I' should be used instead of 'me' when it is the subject of the sentence. Also, 'TV shows' should be singular 'TV show' if referring to one show. Additionally, the repeated 'and' is a typographical error.

× I would prefer to chat just with only one friend because I can easily be real genuine connections with that one person.

✓ I would prefer to chat with only one friend because I can easily have real genuine connections with that one person.

The phrase 'be real genuine connections' is incorrect; the verb 'have' is appropriate to express possessing connections. Also, 'just with only one friend' is redundant; 'with only one friend' suffices.

× If with the group of people I would struggling with, speak when other people speak, you know, or like give comments or talk about my feelings and yeah.

✓ If with the group of people I would struggle, speak when other people speak, you know, or give comments or talk about my feelings and yeah.

The verb 'struggling' should be in the base form 'struggle' after the modal 'would'. Modal verbs are followed by the base form of the verb, not the '-ing' form.

× For sure, I would prefer to communicate face to face if I have the choice, but because some of my friends are overseas so it's difficult for us to meet all the time, if we don't have choice, we would contact communicate on social media.

✓ For sure, I would prefer to communicate face to face if I have the choice, but because some of my friends are overseas, it's difficult for us to meet all the time. If we don't have a choice, we would contact or communicate on social media.

The phrase 'if we don't have choice' is missing the article 'a' before 'choice'. Also, 'contact communicate' is incorrect; these should be separated or clarified. The sentence structure is improved by splitting into two sentences for clarity.

× I tend not to argue with friends just because I don't like the process of solving a conflict.

✓ I tend not to argue with friends just because I don't like the process of resolving a conflict.

The verb 'solving' is less appropriate here; 'resolving' is the correct collocation with 'conflict'. This is a lexical choice issue related to verb-preposition collocation.
