예시: I think noise level is important because in noisy places it's hard to concentrate on conversation. Therefore, people usually prefer quiet places like cafés or parks to talk.

× Yes, my best friends and I meet in elementary school.

✓ Yes, my best friend and I met in elementary school.

'Best friends and I' is incorrect because the student refers to a single best friend; use singular 'best friend'. Also, the time reference 'in elementary school' is past, so use past tense 'met'. Suggestion: identify whether the noun is singular or plural and match verb tense to the time frame.

× And we are still closed these days.

✓ And we are still close these days.

'Closed' means not open (for businesses). The intended adjective is 'close' meaning emotionally close. Use 'close' to describe relationships. Suggestion: choose adjectives that match intended meaning; consult a dictionary if unsure.

× I like to do a variety of things with my friends, so we usually go to It's something and go to shopping and always we talk about this and that.

✓ I like to do a variety of things with my friends, so we usually go to different places, go shopping, and always talk about this and that.

'It's something' is unclear and unnecessary. 'Go to shopping' is wrong; the correct form is 'go shopping' (verb + -ing without 'to'). 'Always we talk' has incorrect word order; use 'always talk'. Suggestion: use 'go shopping' not 'go to shopping'; place adverbs like 'always' before the main verb or after subject appropriately.

× Well, I prefer meeting at a cafe. First of all. I like drinking coffee and cafes have a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easier to talk.

✓ Well, I prefer meeting at a cafe. First of all, I like drinking coffee, and cafes have a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easier to talk.

'First of all.' as a standalone fragment is punctuation error; combine with next sentence. Add necessary commas and conjunction 'and' to connect ideas smoothly. Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments; connect related thoughts with commas or conjunctions.

× Well, unfortunately nowadays I'm really busy because I'm studying for the ILT exam and preparing to my study abroad, so I can't.

✓ Well, unfortunately, nowadays I'm really busy because I'm studying for the ILT exam and preparing for my study abroad, so I can't.

Use 'preparing for' not 'preparing to'. 'To' requires a verb (preparing to study). Also add commas around 'unfortunately' and 'nowadays' for clarity. Suggestion: remember verb patterns: 'prepare for' + noun; 'prepare to' + verb.

× But I'm a really extroverted person, so if I have some free time, I really want to meet my friend and hang out with my friend.

✓ But I'm a really extroverted person, so if I have some free time, I really want to meet my friends and hang out with them.

Repetition 'my friend' is awkward and singular/plural mismatch. Use plural 'friends' and pronoun 'them' for concise, natural speech. Suggestion: use plural when referring generally to friends and use appropriate pronouns.

× I think Fran, I think friends are really important of my life because now I'm live alone so friends seems like my second family and I really like them and they can makes me feel.

✓ I think friends are really important in my life because I now live alone, so friends seem like my second family. I really like them and they make me feel supported.

Multiple issues: remove stray 'Fran'; use 'important in my life' not 'important of my life'; 'I'm live' is wrong—use 'I live'; subject-verb agreement: 'friends seems' -> 'friends seem'; 'can makes me feel' -> 'make me feel' and complete the idea ('supported'). Suggestion: check for extra words, use correct prepositions ('in my life'), ensure verb agreement and complete sentences with clear objects.

× Well, a lot of people think I'm an extroverted person, so I will. I would like to hang out with a variety of friends, but I prefer to spend time with one friend because I can talk.

✓ Well, a lot of people think I'm an extroverted person, so I would. I would like to hang out with a variety of friends, but I prefer to spend time with one friend because I can have deeper conversations.

'So I will' is unnatural here; 'so I would' fits a hypothetical or preference response. Also end phrase 'because I can talk' is incomplete; specify 'have deeper conversations'. Suggestion: choose modal verbs that match degree of certainty or politeness ('would' for preferences) and complete the reason clause.

× I prefer to spend time with one friend rather than with a group because I can have deeper, more meaningful conversations and conversations. Uh. However, I'm an extroverted person, so I'm not a boy to hang out with many people.

✓ I prefer to spend time with one friend rather than with a group because I can have deeper, more meaningful conversations. However, I'm an extroverted person, so I'm not averse to hanging out with many people.

Remove duplicated 'and conversations'. 'I'm not a boy to hang out with many people' is incorrect and unclear; use 'not averse to' or 'not opposed to' and 'hanging out' (gerund). Suggestion: avoid unnecessary repetitions and use correct idiomatic expressions for preference and avoidance.

× Well, in the past I met my friends at the night but nowadays I meet my friends usually lunch or afternoon because my health level is.

✓ Well, in the past I met my friends at night, but nowadays I usually meet my friends at lunch or in the afternoon because of my health condition.

'At the night' should be 'at night'. Word order: 'usually' before verb. Use 'at lunch' or 'in the afternoon'. 'Because my health level is' is incomplete; use 'because of my health condition.' Suggestion: watch prepositions for time expressions ('at night', 'at lunch', 'in the afternoon') and complete causal clauses.

× Well, I think Lloyd's level is important because some places which have some noise, people can focus on their conversations. So people usually prefer to talk in a quiet places.

✓ Well, I think the noise level is important because in noisy places people cannot focus on their conversations. So people usually prefer to talk in quiet places.

'Lloyd's' is likely 'noise'. Correct phrase is 'noise level'. Sentence needed rephrasing: 'in noisy places people cannot focus' rather than 'which have some noise'. Article and plural: use 'quiet places' not 'a quiet places'. Suggestion: use correct nouns ('noise level'), appropriate prepositions ('in noisy places'), and match articles with count nouns.
