Chatting— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and reduce repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid fillers (uh, umm) and pronoun confusion (their vs our).

Exemplo: Yes — I enjoy chatting with friends because it helps me relax after a busy day. For example, we often unwind by sharing stories about our day and giving each other advice, which helps us stay connected.

Sugestão: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and group similar items. Use linking words (for example, also) and give one specific example for clarity. Remove hesitations and be more precise with vocabulary (e.g., 'finance' or 'investing').

Exemplo: We mostly talk about daily events and current topics. For example, we laugh about funny incidents from the day, and we also discuss finance — such as recent market trends or personal investment experiences.

Sugestão: Avoid repeating the same idea. Give a concise preference sentence, then add one specific reason with an example. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example.'

Exemplo: I prefer chatting in a group because it brings many different viewpoints. For example, when we discuss weekend plans, each person suggests different activities and we often end up with a better plan.

Sugestão: Be confident and concise. State your preference clearly, then explain with one or two precise reasons using linking words. Avoid filler words and vague phrases like 'hands on experience.'

Exemplo: I prefer face-to-face communication because it creates a stronger personal connection and clearer communication. For instance, meeting in person helps me read facial expressions and avoid misunderstandings.

Sugestão: Give a direct answer and complete the explanation. Use linking words (however, if) and provide a specific example of how you handle disagreements. Eliminate hesitations and finish your sentence logically.

Exemplo: I don't usually argue with friends; I prefer to discuss differences calmly. For example, if we disagree about plans, I listen to their reasons and suggest a compromise so everyone is happy.

× Yes, I like chatting with friends, it feels good and relaxes and at the end of the day to unwind with a chat with a common friend that really relaxes our mind.

✓ Yes, I like chatting with friends; it feels good and helps me relax at the end of the day when I unwind with a chat with a friend, which really calms my mind.

The original is a run-on sentence with awkward structure and missing verbs for some clauses. Use a semicolon or separate into sentences and add a clear subject and verb ('helps me relax', 'when I unwind'). Replace 'common friend' with 'a friend' and 'relaxes our mind' with 'calms my mind' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: break long ideas into shorter clauses and ensure each clause has a subject and verb.

× And uh, it's always good to keep in touch with friends, to have a friendly banter and to share their life experience.

✓ And it's always good to keep in touch with friends, to have friendly banter and to share life experiences.

The pronoun 'their' is unnecessary and makes the noun phrase awkward. Use the plural noun 'life experiences' to match 'friends' and generalize the idea. Also remove 'a' before 'friendly banter' because 'banter' is uncountable here.

× Well, we usually chat about funny things, things that happened on that particular day, and we also share our opinions about any current event or any, uh, uh, shopping experience.

✓ Well, we usually chat about funny things or events that happened that day, and we also share our opinions about current events or shopping experiences.

The original is wordy and repetitive ('things' and 'that particular day') and contains filler. Simplify and parallel the list items: 'funny things or events that happened that day' and 'current events or shopping experiences.' Ensure parallel structure for clarity.

× And also we talk a lot about, uh, trading and, uh, the financial.

✓ We also talk a lot about trading and finance.

'The financial' is not a correct noun phrase here. Use 'finance' to represent the field. Remove filler and extra articles. 'Trading and finance' is concise and grammatical.

× I prefer to chat with a group of people because it's fun and there's a lot of opinions and, uh, sharing that happens.

✓ I prefer to chat with a group of people because it's fun and there are a lot of opinions and sharing.

Use 'there are' (plural) to agree with plural nouns 'opinions and sharing.' The original 'there's' contracts 'there is' which is incorrect for plural subjects. Suggestion: use 'there are' or rephrase to avoid 'there' constructions.

× And also it gives us a variety of, umm, opinions and, uh, it's really fun to chat with a group of people.

✓ It also gives us a variety of opinions, and it's really fun to chat with a group of people.

The comma placement and filler words break flow. 'A variety of opinions' is correct; remove filler and duplicate ideas. Ensure smooth sentence connectors.

× Well, I prefer to communicate face to face.

✓ Well, I prefer to communicate face-to-face.

When used as an adverbial phrase modifying 'communicate', 'face-to-face' is hyphenated or written as 'in person.' Use 'face-to-face' or 'in person' for idiomatic correctness.

× I'm not a very active person in the social media.

✓ I'm not a very active person on social media.

Use the preposition 'on' with 'social media' and drop the definite article 'the.' 'Social media' is an uncountable plural concept: say 'on social media.' Suggestion: say 'I'm not very active on social media.'

× I, uh, I, I like, I prefer talking to people in person because that brings in more connection and, uh, a lot of, uh, hands on experience.

✓ I prefer talking to people in person because it creates more connection and provides hands-on experience.

Remove stuttering and fillers; use a clear subject and verbs. 'Brings in more connection' is awkward — use 'creates more connection' or 'builds stronger connections.' Hyphenate 'hands-on' when used as an adjective or noun phrase. Be concise.

× Well, I don't argue with friends unless and until it's absolutely a necessary umm, situation.

✓ Well, I don't argue with friends unless it's absolutely necessary.

The phrase 'unless and until' is redundant and overly formal here. 'A necessary situation' is awkward; 'necessary' alone modifies 'to argue' better. Remove filler. Use concise modal/determinative structure.

× So, umm, yeah, I don't uh, argue with my friends. Umm, maybe. I encourage, uh, sharing opinions and uh, if there is a discrepancy, umm, or.

✓ So, I don't argue with my friends. I encourage sharing opinions, and if there is a discrepancy, we discuss it calmly.

Original ends abruptly and contains many fillers and incomplete clauses. Provide a complete, grammatical ending ('we discuss it calmly'). Remove filler words and ensure each sentence has a subject and verb. Suggest practicing speaking more concisely and planning sentence endings.
