× Yes, of course I'd like to chat with my friends who usually share memes and who usually, uh, talk about the news, the fashion and the sports.
✓ Yes, of course I'd like to chat with my friends who usually share memes and who usually, uh, talk about the news, fashion and sports.
The definite article 'the' is incorrectly used before 'fashion' and 'sports' because these are general topics, not specific items. In English, we do not use 'the' before general plural or uncountable nouns when talking about them in general terms.
× Also, we are very, uh, available on the Instagram, social media and Snapchat.
✓ Also, we are very, uh, active on Instagram, social media and Snapchat.
The word 'available' is incorrectly used here; the correct adjective is 'active' when referring to participation on social media platforms. Also, the definite article 'the' before 'Instagram' is unnecessary because proper nouns like social media platform names do not require 'the'.
× As I already told you, I usually talk about the Sports News, fashion because me and my friends are very much uh, busy on the social media.
✓ As I already told you, I usually talk about sports news and fashion because my friends and I are very busy on social media.
The definite article 'the' before 'Sports News' and 'social media' is unnecessary when speaking generally. Also, 'me and my friends' is incorrect; the subject pronoun 'I' should be used first in the phrase 'my friends and I'.
× As I already told you, I usually talk about the Sports News, fashion because me and my friends are very much uh, busy on the social media.
✓ As I already told you, I usually talk about sports news and fashion because my friends and I are very busy on social media.
The pronoun 'me' is incorrectly used as the subject of the sentence; the correct subject pronoun is 'I'. The phrase should be 'my friends and I'.
× We always scroll views and we chat about the memes, uh, about the Bollywood actor and actresses.
✓ We always scroll through views and chat about memes, uh, about Bollywood actors and actresses.
The verb 'scroll' is usually followed by the preposition 'through' when referring to browsing content. Also, 'the memes' and 'the Bollywood actor and actresses' incorrectly use the definite article 'the' when speaking generally. Additionally, 'actor and actresses' should be pluralized correctly as 'actors and actresses'.
× We always scroll views and we chat about the memes, uh, about the Bollywood actor and actresses.
✓ We always scroll through views and chat about memes, uh, about Bollywood actors and actresses.
The phrase 'actor and actresses' mixes singular and plural forms incorrectly. Both should be plural 'actors and actresses' to refer to multiple people.
× I like to chat with group of people because I have so many friends on social media.
✓ I like to chat with a group of people because I have so many friends on social media.
The phrase 'chat with group of people' is missing the indefinite article 'a' before 'group' because 'group' is a singular countable noun.
× We usually talk about the many more new things which happen all around the world.
✓ We usually talk about many new things that happen all around the world.
The phrase 'the many more new things' is incorrect. 'Many' already indicates quantity, so 'more' is redundant here. Also, 'which' is better replaced by 'that' in defining relative clauses.
× I like to talk through social media because I'm a introvert person.
✓ I like to talk through social media because I'm an introvert person.
The article 'a' is incorrect before a word starting with a vowel sound like 'introvert'. The correct article is 'an'.
× I don't like to, uh, face to face conversation and I usually, uh, feel uncomfortable by talking with the, uh, with the people who is in front of me.
✓ I don't like face-to-face conversation and I usually feel uncomfortable talking with the people who are in front of me.
The phrase 'like to face to face conversation' is incorrect; 'like face-to-face conversation' is correct. Also, 'feel uncomfortable by talking' should be 'feel uncomfortable talking'. The verb 'is' should be 'are' to agree with the plural subject 'people'.
× I usually, uh, feel uncomfortable by talking with the, uh, with the people who is in front of me.
✓ I usually feel uncomfortable talking with the people who are in front of me.
The relative pronoun 'who' refers to 'people', which is plural, so the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is' to maintain subject-verb agreement.
× Uh, for example, if we talk about the fashion, uh, in the modern generation, everybody have their own skills of uh, creating new fashion.
✓ Uh, for example, if we talk about fashion, uh, in the modern generation, everybody has their own skills of, uh, creating new fashion.
The subject 'everybody' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' instead of 'have' to agree in number.
