× I enjoy chatting with friends, uh, because through the chatting, I can know the, uh, situation of my friends.
✓ I enjoy chatting with friends, uh, because through chatting, I can know the, uh, situation of my friends.
The preposition 'the' before 'chatting' is unnecessary here. 'Through chatting' is the correct phrase to express the means by which the speaker learns about friends' situations.
× I can know about, uh, the group, my friends are how my friends are doing.
✓ I can know about the group and how my friends are doing.
The original sentence is awkward and ungrammatical. The phrase 'my friends are how my friends are doing' is incorrect. The corrected sentence uses proper conjunction and word order to clearly express the idea.
× I usually talk a lot of different things.
✓ I usually talk about a lot of different things.
The verb 'talk' requires the preposition 'about' when referring to topics. Also, 'talk a lot of different things' is incomplete without 'about'.
× The topics changes from one thing to another thing throughout the conversation.
✓ The topics change from one thing to another throughout the conversation.
The subject 'topics' is plural, so the verb should be 'change' not 'changes'. Also, 'another thing' is sufficient without repeating 'thing'.
× The for instance, yesterday we talked about the.
✓ For instance, yesterday we talked about something.
The phrase 'The for instance' is incorrect; it should be 'For instance'. Also, the sentence is incomplete ending with 'the' without an object.
× It depends on the situations.
✓ It depends on the situation.
The phrase 'depends on the situations' is less common; 'depends on the situation' is more natural and idiomatic in this context.
× Sometimes I chat with a group of friends while I chat, sometimes chat with only one friend at a time.
✓ Sometimes I chat with a group of friends, and sometimes I chat with only one friend at a time.
The original sentence is fragmented and lacks proper conjunction. Adding 'and' and repeating the subject 'I' improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I would definitely love to have a face to face conversations with my friend because it helps me to access the mood, access the emotions that my friends are showing when we have a conversation which lacks in chatting via social media.
✓ I would definitely love to have face-to-face conversations with my friends because it helps me to access the mood and emotions that my friends show during a conversation, which is lacking in chatting via social media.
'Face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face'. 'Conversations' should be plural to match 'friends'. 'Access the mood, access the emotions' is repetitive; combining with 'and' is better. 'Which lacks in chatting' is incorrect; 'which is lacking in chatting' is correct.
× Sometimes I argue with my friends on a range of topics where we are not on a same level.
✓ Sometimes I argue with my friends on a range of topics where we are not on the same level.
The phrase 'a same level' is incorrect; 'the same level' is the correct expression.
