Chatting— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid grammatical errors (e.g., "in a sad while"), and use one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends. I find it helps me share thoughts and emotions, and talking about problems often makes me feel less stressed. For example, when I’m upset, a short phone call with a close friend usually cheers me up.

Sugestão: Organize your answer: begin with a topic sentence about common topics, then give one or two specific examples and use linking words. Correct vocabulary and grammar (e.g., "moody," "how to resolve it"). Avoid listing too many unrelated items.

Exemplo: We usually talk about everyday things like work, food and hobbies. For example, I often discuss gardening tips with a friend, and if I’m feeling moody I’ll explain the situation and ask for advice on how to resolve it.

Sugestão: Give a clear preference sentence and one reason with a specific example. Use correct singular/plural forms and linkers (e.g., "because," "for example"). Avoid repetition ("different ideas and different thoughts").

Exemplo: I prefer chatting in groups because you get many perspectives and ideas. For example, when we discuss travel plans in a group, someone usually suggests a useful tip I hadn’t thought of.

Sugestão: Answer directly which you prefer and explain why, then mention the practical exception briefly. Fix grammar ("in person", "I am currently working"). Limit to 3–4 sentences and use linking words ("however", "because").

Exemplo: I prefer communicating in person because it lets me read facial expressions and emotions. However, since I’m working in the UK and can’t always meet people, I usually call or use social media to stay in touch.

Sugestão: Give a direct answer and clarify with a short reason and example. Correct phrasing ("I rarely argue", "I don’t usually push my opinions"). Avoid repetition and fragmented sentences.

Exemplo: I rarely argue with friends because I tend to avoid conflict and listen to different views. However, I will argue respectfully during debates, for example when we discuss politics at university.

× I love chatting with the other people.

✓ I love chatting with other people.

Using 'the' before 'other people' is unnecessary here because we refer to people in general, not a specific group. Omit 'the' to make it plural general reference. Suggestion: say 'other people' when speaking generally.

× When we are speaking we can share our thoughts and feelings to others.

✓ When we are speaking we can share our thoughts and feelings with others.

Use 'with' rather than 'to' after 'share' when both parties participate. 'Share something with someone' is the correct collocation. Change 'to' to 'with'.

× If we are in a sad while, sharing can reduce our pain.

✓ If we are feeling sad, sharing can reduce our pain.

The phrase 'in a sad while' is ungrammatical. Use the verb 'feeling' + adjective 'sad' to describe an emotional state. 'If we are feeling sad' is natural. Also keeps verb present continuous for current feelings.

× So I love chatting with the friends and family.

✓ So I love chatting with friends and family.

Using 'the' before 'friends and family' implies a specific group; here the student speaks generally. Omit articles for general plural nouns: 'friends and family.'

× I normally talk about our daily routines, about gardening, eating, my habits, whatever I want.

✓ I normally talk about daily routines, gardening, food, my habits, or whatever I want.

Mixing 'our' and 'my' is inconsistent. Use consistent perspective and parallel list items. 'Eating' is better expressed as 'food' in this list. Use commas and 'or' before final item for clarity.

× If I'm in a bit Moody, I love to talk about my situation, what happened, how it happened, how can I resolve it about that.

✓ If I'm a bit moody, I like to talk about my situation: what happened, how it happened, and how I can resolve it.

'Moody' should be lowercased and preceded by 'a bit' correctly placed. Use 'like' instead of 'love' for habitual preference in this context. Sentence order for indirect question 'how I can resolve it' must be statement order, not question order. Remove the redundant 'about that.'

× I love to talk with a group of people because a group of people include many friends with the different ideas and different thoughts, so we can share our things and they can also share their own experience and advices, so it's good to adapt something from them.

✓ I love to talk with a group of people because a group includes many people with different ideas and thoughts, so we can share things and they can share their own experiences and advice, and it's good to learn from them.

Reduce repetition: use 'a group includes' not 'a group of people include'. Subject-verb agreement requires 'group includes'. Remove unnecessary 'the' before 'different ideas'. Use plural 'people' not 'friends' unless specific. 'Experience' is uncountable or 'experiences' plural; 'advice' is uncountable, not 'advices'. 'Adapt something' is incorrect; use 'learn from them.'

× Personally I prefer to communicate in personal so we can understand their facial expression and their feelings.

✓ Personally I prefer to communicate in person so we can understand facial expressions and feelings.

Use 'in person' (not 'in personal') for face-to-face communication. Use plural 'facial expressions' and omit repeated possessive pronouns when context is clear.

× But as per my situation, I work in the UK currently so I can able to meet my friends face to face so I usually call them by phone.

✓ But because I currently work in the UK, I am not able to meet my friends face to face, so I usually call them on the phone.

'As per my situation' is unnatural; 'because' or 'since' is better. 'I can able to' is incorrect; use 'am not able to' or 'cannot' with negation. Use 'on the phone' or 'call them' without 'by'. Maintain word order and connectors.

× Social media also help me to connect with my family and friends up to date.

✓ Social media also help me stay up to date with my family and friends.

Use 'help me stay' rather than 'help me to connect ... up to date'. 'Stay up to date with' is the correct idiom. Maintain verb form 'help someone do'.

× Very rarely. I'm not a person who's showing my ideas and opposing their ideas.

✓ Very rarely. I'm not the kind of person who shows my ideas and opposes others' ideas.

Use 'the kind of person who' rather than 'a person who's showing'. Use simple present 'shows' and 'opposes' for habitual actions. Use 'others'' to refer to other people's ideas.

× But if it's like a situation like a debate or something, I I argue with my friends but not normally.

✓ But if it's a situation like a debate, I do argue with my friends, but not normally.

Remove duplicate 'like' and duplicate 'I'. Use 'do argue' for emphasis or simply 'I argue' and place 'not normally' as 'but not normally' for clarity. Keep tense consistent.
