× Yes, in my leisure time I always love to chat with my friends about different topic, for example study and household chores as well as I like to talk about movies and favorite movie stars.

✓ Yes, in my leisure time I always love to chat with my friends about different topics, for example study and household chores as well as I like to talk about movies and favorite movie stars.

The word 'topic' should be plural 'topics' because it refers to multiple subjects of conversation. Using the singular form here is incorrect when talking about more than one subject.

× Me and my friends always like to chat whenever we have our free time because in this way we can get relaxed.

✓ My friends and I always like to chat whenever we have our free time because in this way we can get relaxed.

The correct subject pronoun is 'I' not 'me' when used as the subject of a sentence. Also, it is polite and grammatically correct to mention oneself last, so 'My friends and I' is preferred over 'Me and my friends'.

× Mostly I like to talk about the movies and music.

✓ Mostly I like to talk about movies and music.

The definite article 'the' is unnecessary before 'movies' when speaking generally. Removing 'the' makes the sentence more natural and grammatically correct.

× Uh, you We always like to talk about the clothes and social events as well as the upcoming events in our college.

✓ Uh, we always like to talk about clothes and social events as well as the upcoming events in our college.

The phrase 'you We' is incorrect and confusing. It should be 'we' to correctly refer to the group including the speaker. Also, 'the clothes' should be 'clothes' without 'the' when speaking generally.

× Whenever I am, I feel bored.

✓ Whenever I am bored,

The original sentence is incomplete and incorrectly structured. The phrase 'Whenever I am' needs a complement like 'bored' to make sense. The corrected phrase 'Whenever I am bored,' properly introduces the condition.

× That time I like to talk about with only one of my best friends.

✓ At that time, I like to talk with only one of my best friends.

The preposition 'about' is unnecessary and incorrect here. The correct phrase is 'talk with' someone. Also, adding 'At' before 'that time' improves clarity.

× On the other hand, if we have to do some college work, for example, we have to make any presentation and group discussion, then I give preference.

✓ On the other hand, if we have to do some college work, for example, make a presentation or participate in a group discussion, then I give preference to group chatting.

The phrase 'make any presentation and group discussion' is awkward and unclear. It should be 'make a presentation or participate in a group discussion'. Also, 'give preference' needs an object to clarify what is preferred.

× Whenever I'm at home, I give preference to talk with the help of social media apps such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and many more.

✓ Whenever I'm at home, I prefer to talk using social media apps such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and many more.

The phrase 'give preference to talk with the help of' is awkward. 'Prefer to talk using' is more natural and grammatically correct. Also, 'talk with the help of' is not a standard expression.

× On the other hand, whenever I'm out of my home home that time I give preference to talk with people face to face rather than using any social media app and I can ask.

✓ On the other hand, whenever I'm out of my home, I prefer to talk with people face to face rather than using any social media app.

The phrase 'give preference to talk with' is awkward; 'prefer to talk with' is better. Also, 'out of my home home' has a repeated word 'home'. The phrase 'and I can ask' is incomplete and unclear, so it is omitted.

× No, definitely not. I'll never like to argue with my friends because I always like to listen them.

✓ No, definitely not. I never like to argue with my friends because I always like to listen to them.

The phrase 'I'll never like' is incorrect; 'I never like' is appropriate here. Also, 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' before the object, so it should be 'listen to them'.

× If I have to give some suggestion or I have to correct someone then I just politely request to them.

✓ If I have to give some suggestion or correct someone, then I just politely request them.

The verb 'request' does not require the preposition 'to' before the object. The correct form is 'request someone'. Also, the sentence is improved by removing the repeated subject in the second clause.

× And I do not like to fight and argue with my friends because I think it can destroy the relationship.

✓ I do not like to fight or argue with my friends because I think it can destroy the relationship.

Using 'and' between 'fight' and 'argue' suggests both happen together, but 'or' is more appropriate to indicate either action. Also, starting a sentence with 'And' is generally discouraged in formal speech.
