× Yes I do like I do enjoy chatting with my friends when we have a free time but usually it depends on my mood and I like to have a chat freely with my friends when I want to take my mind off.

✓ Yes, I do like and enjoy chatting with my friends when we have free time, but usually it depends on my mood and I like to have a chat freely with my friends when I want to take my mind off things.

The phrase 'a free time' is incorrect because 'time' in this context is an uncountable noun and should not be preceded by the indefinite article 'a'. The correct phrase is 'free time'. Also, adding 'things' after 'take my mind off' completes the expression.

× Usually we talk about our work and if it's a weekend, we talk about our plans for the weekend and how we can get together.

✓ Usually, we talk about our work and, if it's the weekend, we talk about our plans for the weekend and how we can get together.

The phrase 'if it's a weekend' is less natural than 'if it's the weekend' when referring to the upcoming or current weekend. Also, commas improve sentence clarity.

× Uh, I enjoy chatting with the group of friends mainly because then we have lots of ideas to share and it's when chatting with one friend might get bored.

✓ Uh, I enjoy chatting with a group of friends mainly because then we have lots of ideas to share, and chatting with one friend might get boring.

The phrase 'the group of friends' is better as 'a group of friends' when speaking generally. Also, 'might get bored' is incorrect because 'bored' describes a feeling experienced by a person, not the action. The correct form is 'might get boring' to describe the activity.

× So I enjoy chatting with the group instead chatting.

✓ So I enjoy chatting with the group instead of chatting alone.

The phrase 'instead chatting' is incomplete and incorrect. The correct structure is 'instead of chatting' followed by the alternative activity or context.

× It depends on my mood, Uh-huh. But usually I prefer chatting through social media through maybe through messages rather than talking in person, because it's easy to communicate and we can respond at our own free time.

✓ It depends on my mood. But usually, I prefer chatting via social media, maybe through messages, rather than talking in person, because it's easy to communicate and we can respond in our own free time.

The preposition 'through' is overused and awkward here. 'Via' is more appropriate for 'social media'. Also, 'at our own free time' should be 'in our own free time' because 'in' is the correct preposition for periods of time.

× No, not really. I think it's not suitable or it's not much, uh. I'm not much confident to argue with my friends because I might be there, I might be doing the wrong thing, so I do not prefer arguing with friends.

✓ No, not really. I think it's not suitable or not often. I'm not very confident to argue with my friends because I might be wrong, so I do not prefer arguing with friends.

The phrase 'it's not much' is unclear and awkward; 'not often' better expresses infrequency. Also, 'I'm not much confident' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'I'm not very confident'. The phrase 'I might be there' is unclear and unnecessary, so it is removed for clarity.
