× I do not like much chatting with friends because I feel it's giving too much information to them as we unconsciously or sub minded we tell everything about our personal life or we start back biting about others which is bad.
✓ I do not like chatting much with friends because I feel it's giving too much information to them as we unconsciously or subconsciously tell everything about our personal life or we start backbiting about others which is bad.
The phrase 'much chatting' is awkward; 'chatting much' is more natural. Also, 'sub minded' is incorrect; the correct word is 'subconsciously'. 'Back biting' should be one word 'backbiting'. These corrections improve clarity and grammatical accuracy.
× We usually chat about the prices of the grocery, the fruits and the vegetables, and we talk about the schools, our kids, education and new things to do in Qatar and the exercise, the health, fitness, etcetera.
✓ We usually chat about the prices of groceries, fruits, and vegetables, and we talk about schools, our kids, education, new things to do in Qatar, exercise, health, fitness, etcetera.
'The grocery' should be plural 'groceries' to refer to items collectively. Articles 'the' before plural nouns like 'fruits' and 'vegetables' are unnecessary here. Also, 'the schools' should be 'schools' without 'the' unless specific schools are meant. Removing unnecessary articles and pluralizing nouns correctly improves grammatical correctness.
× I would prefer to chat with the group of people because it is very informative to know what are their thoughts about any topics and we enjoy get togethers and we get to know new ideas.
✓ I would prefer to chat with a group of people because it is very informative to know their thoughts about any topics and we enjoy get-togethers and get to know new ideas.
Use 'a group of people' instead of 'the group of people' because the group is not previously specified. Also, 'what are their thoughts' should be 'their thoughts' for correct word order. 'Get togethers' should be hyphenated as 'get-togethers'. These changes correct article usage and sentence structure.
× I would prefer to communicate via social media, mostly, uh, because it is easy to respond to the messages or take the call, uh, depending on our free time and uh, very less. I prefer face to face communication.
✓ I would prefer to communicate via social media mostly because it is easy to respond to messages or take calls depending on our free time, and I prefer face-to-face communication less often.
Remove 'the' before 'messages' and 'call' as they are general. 'Very less' is incorrect; better to say 'less often'. 'Face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face'. These corrections improve article usage and adverbial expressions.
× Yes, I do argue with friends when, uh, when I hear uh, something that is not related to the subject or which I think it's umm, not a good thought on the subject.
✓ Yes, I do argue with friends when I hear something that is not related to the subject or when I think it is not a good idea about the subject.
The sentence has redundant 'when' and filler words 'uh' and 'umm' which should be omitted for clarity. 'Not a good thought' is better expressed as 'not a good idea'. Also, 'which I think it's' is incorrect; use 'when I think it is'. These changes improve sentence structure and clarity.
