Chatting— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is natural and relevant with clear opinion and reasons, but it is slightly repetitive (repeating "love") and a bit long. To improve, reduce redundancy, use a wider range of vocabulary, and limit to 3–4 concise sentences. Add a linking word to connect ideas gracefully.

Exemplo: Yes, I do. I enjoy chatting with my close friends because we share ideas and discuss interesting topics regularly. Moreover, having someone to talk to helps my mental health and makes me feel supported.

Sugestão: Good direct answer with relevant details and personal feeling. Improve by adding a linking word and a specific example to make it more concrete (e.g., a particular topic or activity you discuss). Keep within 2–3 sentences.

Exemplo: We mostly talk about school—such as upcoming exams and study plans—and how to prepare for our future. For example, we recently discussed which universities to apply to and how to manage revision timetables.

Sugestão: The answer addresses the question and gives reasons, but contains hesitations, a small grammar error ("we we're"), and repetition. Improve clarity by starting with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler phrases, correct grammar, and use a linking word to contrast preferences.

Exemplo: It depends, but generally I prefer one-on-one conversations. Although I can be comfortable in familiar groups, I prefer talking to my closest friend because we understand each other quickly and can discuss personal topics more easily.

Sugestão: Clear preference and balanced view, but there's a repetition ("in front in front of you") and slightly informal phrasing. Improve by removing repetition, using stronger linking words (e.g., "however"), and giving a concise example of when you use social media.

Exemplo: I generally prefer face-to-face communication because you can read facial expressions and avoid misunderstandings. However, I also use social media to keep in touch with friends I haven't met in person, especially for quick updates or group chats.

Sugestão: The answer gives a reasonable opinion but has informal language ("gonna"), hesitations ("uh"), inconsistent person reference (switching between I and you), and repetition. Improve by using formal vocabulary, consistent subject (I), and a clear concise structure with an example of when an argument is necessary.

Exemplo: I try to avoid arguments because they can create tension, but I accept that disagreements are sometimes necessary for important issues. For instance, I once argued with a friend about study-group responsibilities to ensure the work was fairly divided, and our friendship stayed strong afterward.

× We we're very close to each other and we just understand each other really easily.

✓ We were very close to each other and we just understand each other really easily.

The original used 'we we're' which mixes contraction for 'we are' with past meaning; context refers to a continuing/ habitual state, so 'we were' (past) or 'we're' (we are) must be chosen. Here the likely intended meaning is past closeness or a habitual state; replace 'we we're' with 'we were' to correct the typo and match the past reference. Suggestion: Use 'we're' only for 'we are' (present) and 'we were' for past; avoid combining punctuation that creates 'we we're'.

× I usually lean towards the face to face communication as it's easier to understand the person in front in front of you and you avoid misunderstandings.

✓ I usually lean towards face-to-face communication as it's easier to understand the person in front of you and you avoid misunderstandings.

Errors: redundant 'the' before 'face-to-face communication', missing hyphens in 'face-to-face', and duplicate phrase 'in front in front of you'. Correction removes the extra article, adds hyphens to form a compound adjective, and deletes the duplicated words. Suggestion: Use 'face-to-face' with hyphens when used as an adjective and say 'in front of you' once.

× I have many friends that I've never met in real life before.

✓ I have many friends that I've never met in real life.

The word 'before' is redundant when 'never' is used; both convey the same negative past reference. Removing 'before' makes the sentence more natural. Suggestion: Avoid redundant time markers after 'never' (e.g., 'never before' can be used for emphasis, but here 'never' alone is sufficient).

× I try not to argue with my friends because it's gonna create a negative vibe between us, but at the same time, sometimes you're going to have to argue with them if it's a really important matter.

✓ I try not to argue with my friends because it will create a negative vibe between us, but at the same time, sometimes you will have to argue with them if it's a really important matter.

Colloquial 'gonna' should be replaced with the standard future 'will' for formal correctness. Also 'you're going to have to' is changed to 'you will have to' for consistency and formality. Suggestion: Use 'will' or 'going to' appropriately in spoken or informal contexts, but avoid 'gonna' in formal responses.

× Uh, but I, if you're, if your friendship is strong, then an argument won't affect it.

✓ But if your friendship is strong, then an argument won't affect it.

Original contains disfluent insertions 'Uh, but I, if you're,' which creates pronoun mismatch and unclear subject. Removing the extra fragments clarifies the conditional structure and pronoun reference. Suggestion: Keep conditional sentences concise: 'If your friendship is strong, then an argument won't affect it.'
