Chatting— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Make the answer more concise and natural by giving one clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repeating the main idea. Use linking words like "especially" or "mainly" correctly.

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends, especially when I have free time. For example, I usually message them on WhatsApp or call to catch up about our days or share funny stories.

Sugestão: Organize your response: start with a topic sentence, then give specific examples and use linking words (e.g., "for example", "also"). Be careful with grammar (use correct prepositions and relative clauses).

Exemplo: We usually talk about travel and our future plans. For example, recently I've been discussing applying to a university in Italy, including issues with my documents, translations and entrance exams, and my friends offer advice and emotional support.

Sugestão: Start with a clear preference sentence, then explain reasons with linking words like "because" or "so". Avoid vague phrases like "pointless chat"—give a short example of why one-to-one is better for you.

Exemplo: I prefer chatting with one friend because I can focus on their problems and give real support. In group chats, conversations often jump between topics, so it's harder to have a deep or helpful discussion.

Sugestão: Give a direct preference then briefly explain the reason with cohesive links like "however" or "so". Correct collocations (e.g., "live abroad" not "live abroad by distance") and reduce redundancy.

Exemplo: I prefer face-to-face communication because it's more personal. However, my friends now live abroad, so we mainly use social media and messaging apps to stay in touch.

Sugestão: Answer directly and give a concise reason or brief example. Avoid filler sounds and unclear phrases. Use correct phrasing (e.g., "I can't remember the last time we argued").

Exemplo: No, I can't remember the last time we argued. Our conversations are usually supportive and cover many topics, so disagreements rarely turn into arguments.

× Especially when I have a good mood and the free time, I like to communicate with my friends by chat, by phone, by social net.

✓ Especially when I am in a good mood and have free time, I like to communicate with my friends by chat, by phone, or on social networks.

Use 'in a good mood' not 'have a good mood' (correct preposition with 'mood'). Say 'have free time' not 'the free time' (no definite article). Use 'on social networks' rather than 'by social net' (correct preposition and plural noun). Also use 'or' to list alternatives clearly.

× Nowadays we speak with my friend about the university in Italy and the problems, what I have right now, with documents, with translation, with exams.

✓ Nowadays I speak with my friend about the university in Italy and the problems I have right now with documents, translations, and exams.

Use 'I speak with my friend' rather than 'we speak with my friend' to match intended meaning and subject. Remove 'what' which is incorrect here; use relative clause without 'what'. Use 'translations' (plural) and connect items with commas and 'and'. Prepositions 'with' are acceptable but better placed directly before the nouns.

× Only with one friend I can focus in her problem, in her issue situation and support her when we chat with the group.

✓ With only one friend I can focus on her problem or situation and support her when we chat in a group.

Use 'focus on' not 'focus in' (correct preposition). 'Issue situation' is awkward; use 'problem or situation'. Use 'chat in a group' rather than 'chat with the group' for natural phrasing. Place 'with only one friend' or 'with one friend' at start for clarity.

× Face to face but unfortunately my friends right now live abroad by distance we cannot meet as we used to have in my country.

✓ Face to face, but unfortunately my friends now live abroad and we cannot meet as we used to in my country.

Use 'now' rather than 'right now' for brevity; 'live abroad' is correct without 'by distance'. Remove 'have' after 'used to'. Use 'as we used to in my country' for correct structure; add a comma after introductory phrase.

× So we need and have to use social media messengers phone to keep in touch together.

✓ So we need to use social media and messaging apps or phones to keep in touch.

Avoid redundant modals 'need and have to' — use one modal 'need to' or 'have to'. 'Social media messengers phone' is ungrammatical; separate items with 'and' and use 'messaging apps' or 'phones'. Remove 'together' because 'keep in touch' already implies mutual contact.

× No, I don't remember exactly when last time we were arguing.

✓ No, I don't remember exactly when we last argued.

Use simple past 'we last argued' instead of 'we were arguing' for a past event described without continuous aspect. Place 'last' before the verb for common word order: 'when we last argued'.

× Usually it's very supportive conversation.

✓ Usually it's a very supportive conversation.

Add the indefinite article 'a' before a singular countable noun 'conversation'.

× Uh, with interest, with the emotions, with the a lot of topics to talk.

✓ We talk with interest and emotion, and we have a lot of topics to discuss.

Use 'interest and emotion' (uncountable) rather than 'the emotions'; remove unnecessary articles. Use 'a lot of topics' (place 'a' before 'lot') and 'to discuss' is more natural than 'to talk'. Combine ideas into a clearer, grammatical sentence.

× No, we don't argue with my friends by chat.

✓ No, we don't argue with my friends over chat.

Use the preposition 'over' or 'in' with 'chat' to indicate the medium ('argue over chat' or 'argue in chat'). 'With my friends by chat' is less natural; 'with my friends' can stay but pair with 'over chat'.

× Especially when I have a good mood and the free time, I like to communicate with my friends by chat, by phone, by social net.

✓ Especially when I am in a good mood and have free time, I like to communicate with my friends by chat, by phone, or on social networks.
