× Yes, I like talking with my friends regarding some social issues, companionships and some uh.
✓ Yes, I like talking with my friends regarding some social issues, companionship and some uh.
The word 'companionships' is incorrect because 'companionship' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralised. Use 'companionship' without 's' to refer to the concept in general.
× We usually chat with my friends regarding some social issues, events, some personal problems and academic issues.
✓ We usually chat with my friends about some social issues, events, some personal problems and academic issues.
The preposition 'regarding' is formal and less common in spoken English. 'Chat about' is the correct and natural collocation when talking about topics of conversation.
× We usually chat with my friends regarding some social issues, events, some personal problems and academic issues.
✓ We usually chat with our friends about some social issues, events, some personal problems and academic issues.
The pronoun 'my' is inconsistent with 'we'. When the subject is 'we', the possessive pronoun should be 'our' to maintain agreement.
× Sometimes we also discuss how to solve the problem, how we can, how we will spend our vacations.
✓ Sometimes we also discuss how to solve problems, how we can, how we will spend our vacations.
The phrase 'the problem' is too specific here; 'problems' is more appropriate to indicate general issues discussed.
× I usually prefer chatting with just one friend rather than a croak because it feels a more personal and relaxed in Group chat.
✓ I usually prefer chatting with just one friend rather than a group because it feels more personal and relaxed in group chat.
The word 'croak' is incorrect; it should be 'group'. Also, 'a more personal' is incorrect; 'more personal' without 'a' is correct. 'Group' should not be capitalised here.
× I usually prefer chatting with just one friend rather than a croak because it feels a more personal and relaxed in Group chat.
✓ I usually prefer chatting with just one friend rather than a group because it feels more personal and relaxed in group chat.
The article 'a' before 'more personal' is unnecessary because 'more personal' is a comparative adjective phrase that does not require an article.
× I usually prefer chatting with just one friend rather than a croak because it feels a more personal and relaxed in Group chat.
✓ I usually prefer chatting with just one friend rather than a group because it feels more personal and relaxed in group chat.
The phrase 'in Group chat' should be 'in group chat' with lowercase 'group' and no article needed before 'group chat'.
× I prefer communication by face to face, uh, because, uh, we can easily judge the expression because sometimes if, uh, when we talk on a social media, we can't just the face expression, we can't just the feelings.
✓ I prefer communication face to face, uh, because, uh, we can easily judge the expression. Sometimes, when we talk on social media, we can't see the facial expressions or feelings.
The phrase 'communication by face to face' is incorrect; it should be 'communication face to face'. Also, 'on a social media' is incorrect; 'on social media' is correct. The phrase 'we can't just the face expression' is ungrammatical and should be 'we can't see the facial expressions'.
× I prefer communication by face to face, uh, because, uh, we can easily judge the expression because sometimes if, uh, when we talk on a social media, we can't just the face expression, we can't just the feelings.
✓ I prefer communication face to face, uh, because, uh, we can easily judge the expression. Sometimes, when we talk on social media, we can't see the facial expressions or feelings.
The phrase 'we can't just the feelings' is incorrect; it should be 'we can't see the feelings' or 'we can't understand the feelings'.
× Yeah, sometime just, uh, happen a little bit disputes with the worries.
✓ Yeah, sometimes just, uh, a few disputes happen with worries.
The word 'sometime' should be 'sometimes' to indicate frequency. The phrase 'happen a little bit disputes' is ungrammatical; 'a few disputes happen' is correct. 'With the worries' is unclear; 'with worries' is better.
× Yeah, sometime just, uh, happen a little bit disputes with the worries.
✓ Yeah, sometimes just, uh, a few disputes happen with worries.
The quantifier 'a little bit' is used with uncountable nouns, but 'disputes' is countable, so 'a few' is the correct quantifier.
× So that time we just do argues because because some someone say no, that thing could be to by which way.
✓ So at that time we just argue because some people say no, that thing could be done this way.
The phrase 'we just do argues' is incorrect; 'argue' is the correct verb form. 'Some someone' is incorrect; 'some people' is appropriate. 'To by which way' is ungrammatical; 'done this way' is clearer.
× And some say that no, no, no, that thing could be which way.
✓ And some say no, no, no, that thing could be done another way.
The phrase 'that thing could be which way' is ungrammatical; 'done another way' is the correct expression.
× So in this way we just do our argues to express their emotions and.
✓ So in this way we just argue to express our emotions.
The phrase 'do our argues' is incorrect; 'argue' is the correct verb. 'Their emotions' is inconsistent with 'we'; it should be 'our emotions'. The sentence is incomplete and should end properly.
