Yes, I do like talking to my friends specially about things that we can relate to.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
We chat about a lot of things, things like the recent happenings in our daily lives and the current situation that we are in or even the challenges that we are experiencing at the moment.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
That would depend on the day, because there are certain topics that I would really want to talk about to a certain friend, especially those personal ones. And there are also topics that I can casually convey with a group of friends. For example, if you're in a party, it would be really satisfying to be talking to a group of people.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
With friends who live near me, I would prefer talking to them face to face because for me nothing really beats a conversation with emotions. However, with friends who are already working abroad, I like talking to them so in social media because it is more convenient for them. It's more convenient and easier for us.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
Yes, I do argue with friends. I think that is normal. People tend to have a different point of view in life and that is OK.

× Yes, I do like talking to my friends specially about things that we can relate to.
✓ Yes, I do like talking to my friends especially about things that we can relate to.
The word 'specially' is used to mean 'for a special purpose', but the correct adverb here is 'especially', which means 'particularly' or 'mainly'. Using 'especially' fits the intended meaning better.
× That would depend on the day, because there are certain topics that I would really want to talk about to a certain friend, especially those personal ones.
✓ That would depend on the day, because there are certain topics that I would really want to talk about with a certain friend, especially those personal ones.
The correct preposition to use with 'talk' in this context is 'with' rather than 'to'. We say 'talk with someone' when referring to a conversation between people.
× However, with friends who are already working abroad, I like talking to them so in social media because it is more convenient for them.
✓ However, with friends who are already working abroad, I like talking to them on social media because it is more convenient for them.
The correct preposition to use with 'social media' is 'on', not 'in'. We say 'on social media' to refer to platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
