考官
Do you like chatting with friends?

Yeah, I love to chat with my friends, but I feel like since recently my chatting and communication with my friends have uh, been more through social media and apps like Instagram and WhatsApp and not so much like 1 to 1.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
I mean, there's a plethora of uh, subjects and topics. There's not just one thing that we chat about. I feel like, uh, recently I've become more introverted. I used to speak a lot more and it didn't always have an essence. Like my topics were more, you know, all over the place. But now I am very.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
I feel like personally I would prefer talking to one person and that to one-on-one. Uh, the reason behind that is that if there's a group of people, I feel like I can't give the equal attention or the equal amount of time to each one of them. So for me, I'd say that chatting with one person, holding a conversation with one person is more suitable.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
I feel like having a conversation one-on-one or face to face with a person is much better. Uh, there are many less opportunities of the person construing what you're saying in a negative way. They can hear your tone, they can see your facial expressions and that I feel like makes the conversation way more natural and.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
Yeah, I feel like arguing or debating is a healthy part of any sort of relationship, platonic or romantic, or any sort of relationship, honestly. Uh, so I don't think there's anything wrong with having a difference of opinion, but I try to not get very aggressive. I try to understand the other person's point of view as well as trying to explain mine without.

× I love to chat with my friends, but I feel like since recently my chatting and communication with my friends have uh, been more through social media and apps like Instagram and WhatsApp and not so much like 1 to 1.
✓ I love to chat with my friends, but I feel like recently my chatting and communication with my friends has been more through social media and apps like Instagram and WhatsApp and not so much one to one.
The phrase 'since recently' is awkward and incorrect; 'recently' alone is sufficient. Also, 'chatting and communication' is treated as a singular idea here, so the verb should be 'has' instead of 'have' to agree in number. The phrase 'like 1 to 1' should be 'one to one' for clarity and formality.
× I mean, there's a plethora of uh, subjects and topics. There's not just one thing that we chat about. I feel like, uh, recently I've become more introverted. I used to speak a lot more and it didn't always have an essence. Like my topics were more, you know, all over the place. But now I am very.
✓ I mean, there's a plethora of subjects and topics. There's not just one thing that we chat about. I feel like recently I've become more introverted. I used to speak a lot more and it didn't always have an essence. My topics were more, you know, all over the place. But now I am very reserved.
The original sentence ends abruptly with 'But now I am very.' which is incomplete and causes a sentence structure error. Adding a suitable adjective like 'reserved' completes the thought and corrects the sentence structure.
× I feel like personally I would prefer talking to one person and that to one-on-one.
✓ I feel like personally I would prefer talking to one person and that one-on-one.
The phrase 'and that to one-on-one' is incorrect. The preposition 'to' is unnecessary here. The correct phrase is 'and that one-on-one' to express preference clearly.
× I feel like having a conversation one-on-one or face to face with a person is much better.
✓ I feel like having a conversation one-on-one or face-to-face with a person is much better.
The phrase 'face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face' when used as an adjective or adverb to describe the manner of conversation.
× Uh, there are many less opportunities of the person construing what you're saying in a negative way.
✓ Uh, there are far fewer opportunities for the person to construe what you're saying in a negative way.
The phrase 'many less' is incorrect; 'far fewer' is appropriate for countable nouns like 'opportunities'. Also, 'opportunities of the person construing' is incorrect; it should be 'opportunities for the person to construe' to correctly express the idea.
× They can hear your tone, they can see your facial expressions and that I feel like makes the conversation way more natural and.
✓ They can hear your tone, they can see your facial expressions, and that, I feel, makes the conversation much more natural.
The original sentence ends abruptly with 'and.' which is incomplete. Adding proper punctuation and completing the sentence corrects the structure. Also, 'way more natural' is informal; 'much more natural' is more appropriate.
× I try to understand the other person's point of view as well as trying to explain mine without.
✓ I try to understand the other person's point of view as well as explain mine without getting aggressive.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'without.' which is incomplete. Completing the sentence with 'getting aggressive' clarifies the meaning and corrects the sentence structure.
