Chatting— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Make the response more concise and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, reduce fillers (uh), fix grammar (plural/singular), and add one specific example. Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends, especially on weekends when we meet at a local coffee shop. We usually catch up on what’s been happening in our lives and sometimes share light gossip about mutual friends. Those meetups help me relax and feel refreshed.

Sugestão: Give a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and use linking words for coherence. Provide one specific example of a topic to make content concrete.

Exemplo: We usually talk about our own lives and mutual friends’ news, and sometimes we discuss current affairs. For example, last week we debated a recent local election and how it might affect our city’s transport plans.

Sugestão: Organize the answer: state preference clearly, explain reasons with linking words, correct tense and phrasing, and avoid hesitation. Limit to 2–3 sentences and include a brief example.

Exemplo: I prefer chatting in a group when I’m meeting new people because it’s less intense and I can listen more. However, once I know someone well I prefer one-on-one conversations so we can discuss personal matters in depth.

Sugestão: Start with a direct statement of preference, remove fillers, fix grammar (subject-verb agreement), and finish the thought with a complete sentence about reality. Add a short example of when online is acceptable.

Exemplo: I prefer face-to-face communication because I can see gestures and facial expressions, which are hard to read online. However, due to busy schedules we often use messaging apps for quick updates, for example to arrange meeting times.

Sugestão: Provide a concise topic sentence, remove repetition and hesitations, correct phrasing (e.g., “particular” → “particularly close”), and clarify the reasoning with one linking word. Keep it to 2 sentences.

Exemplo: I am willing to argue with close friends because we trust each other and can resolve conflicts afterwards. But with acquaintances I tend to avoid arguments since I’m not sure if the relationship can recover.

× Yes, I like chatting with friends especially during uh weekends or holidays when we hang out together at coffee shop.

✓ Yes, I like chatting with friends, especially during weekends or holidays when we hang out together at a coffee shop.

Use of articles and prepositions: 'during weekends' is acceptable but 'at coffee shop' needs an article; use 'a coffee shop'. Add commas for clarity. Also 'uh' removed for formality.

× We will update our recent life and also share some gossip with friend.

✓ We update each other on our recent lives and also share some gossip with friends.

Pronoun and noun number: 'friend' should be plural 'friends'; 'update our recent life' is unnatural—use 'update each other on our recent lives'. Use present simple for habitual action rather than 'will'.

× So uh, all those hangout makes me refresh and happy.

✓ So, all those hangouts make me feel refreshed and happy.

Subject-verb agreement and word form: 'hangout' should be plural 'hangouts' and verb 'make' to agree. Also use 'feel refreshed' instead of 'refresh' for correct adjective use.

× We will usually talk about our common friends stories, update about, update each other, about our own lives, what has been going on recently.

✓ We usually talk about our common friends' stories and update each other about our own lives and what has been going on recently.

Tense and articles: Use present simple 'usually talk' for habitual action. Possessive for 'friends' stories' and combine phrases smoothly without unnecessary 'will'.

× And also we will talk about, uh, current affairs like what is going on nowadays on the world, uh, in the world.

✓ We also talk about current affairs, like what is going on in the world nowadays.

Preposition order: use 'in the world' not 'on the world'. Prefer present simple for habits and place adverb 'nowadays' at end.

× Usually I'm willing to wait chatting with a group of people when I don't know well, don't know them well.

✓ Usually I'm willing to start chatting with a group of people when I don't know them well.

Incorrect verb collocations: 'willing to wait chatting' is incorrect. Use 'willing to start chatting' or 'willing to chat'. Also remove duplicated 'don't know well'.

× For example, in at the party, I prefer to talk with a bunch of people so that I can be a mere listener.

✓ For example, at a party, I prefer to talk with a bunch of people so that I can be a mere listener.

Preposition/article errors: Use 'at a party' not 'in at the party'. 'A party' is general so use indefinite article.

× But after I knew them well, then then I prefer to talk to 1 friend so that I can, uh, talk about.

✓ But after I get to know them well, I prefer to talk to one friend so that I can have a deeper conversation.

Tense and phrasing: Use present simple or present perfect for ongoing states—'get to know' instead of 'knew'. Also avoid numeral '1' and incomplete clause 'talk about'—complete idea 'have a deeper conversation'.

× I prefer to communicate face to face because I can observe their, uh, gesture and also, uh, face expression, which I think this is uh, less accessible through social media.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because I can observe their gestures and facial expressions, which I think are less accessible through social media.

Use plural 'gestures' and correct collocation 'facial expressions'. Subject-verb agreement: 'which I think are' to refer to plural. Remove filler words.

× But nowadays people has have hectic schedule, so we seldom make.

✓ But nowadays people have hectic schedules, so we seldom meet.

Subject-verb agreement and word choice: 'people' requires plural verb 'have' and plural noun 'schedules'. 'Make' is incomplete—use 'meet'.

× If the friend is parti particularly close with me, then I will argue with them because we both know that we can make out afterward.

✓ If the friend is particularly close to me, then I will argue with them because we both know that we can make up afterward.

Preposition and word form: use 'close to me' not 'close with me'; 'parti' typo removed. 'Make out' is incorrect here; use 'make up' meaning reconcile.

× But if I don't know I not sure how deep the relationship with this friend, then I'll choose to back off because I don't know whether we can make up anymore.

✓ But if I'm not sure how deep my relationship with this friend is, then I'll choose to back off because I don't know whether we can make up again.

Pronoun order and auxiliary verbs: Reorder to 'I'm not sure how deep my relationship with this friend is'. Use 'make up again' rather than 'anymore'. Fix missing auxiliary 'am' and awkward phrasing.
