考官
Do you like chatting with friends?
考生
I don't really like chatting with friends and this because I consider it a very stressful activity. I prefer phone calls than chats. I feel like texting is very stressful and time consuming.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
I must say we usually chat about everything I know and nothing at the same time. It's usually said that communication is 19 percent is 90% nonsense and 10% thanks. So usually chat about our daily lives, our hobbies, our activities, make plans for the coming weekends and basic stuff.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
I would always prefer to chat with just one person, and that's because I'm introverted and I prefer chatting with one person as being around a lot of people tends to dream my social energy.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
It all depends on the person with whom I'm talking to. If he's a close friend or an acquaintance, I could speak. I could prefer communicating to the person face to face, and this is because I'm comfortable around that person. But if it's someone I'm not so close to, our preferred social media conversation.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
Of course I argue with friends and we do argue over petty matters and serious matters alike, but I we always make sure to sort out our issues such that they don't last a week. A week is the maximum.

× I don't really like chatting with friends and this because I consider it a very stressful activity.
✓ I don't really like chatting with friends because I consider it a very stressful activity.
The conjunction 'and this because' is incorrect here. The correct conjunction to show cause is 'because'. Replace 'and this because' with 'because' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
× I prefer phone calls than chats.
✓ I prefer phone calls to chats.
The verb 'prefer' is followed by 'to' when comparing two things, not 'than'. Therefore, 'prefer phone calls than chats' should be corrected to 'prefer phone calls to chats'.
× It's usually said that communication is 19 percent is 90% nonsense and 10% thanks.
✓ It's usually said that communication is 90% nonsense and 10% thanks.
The phrase '19 percent is 90% nonsense' is incorrect and confusing. The intended meaning is that communication is 90% nonsense and 10% thanks. Remove '19 percent is' to correct the sentence.
× So usually chat about our daily lives, our hobbies, our activities, make plans for the coming weekends and basic stuff.
✓ So we usually chat about our daily lives, our hobbies, our activities, make plans for the coming weekends, and basic stuff.
The sentence lacks a subject 'we' before 'usually chat'. Adding 'we' clarifies the subject and corrects the sentence structure.
× I prefer chatting with one person as being around a lot of people tends to dream my social energy.
✓ I prefer chatting with one person as being around a lot of people tends to drain my social energy.
The word 'dream' is incorrect here; the correct verb is 'drain' which means to reduce or exhaust. Replace 'dream' with 'drain' to correct the sentence.
× If he's a close friend or an acquaintance, I could speak.
✓ If he's a close friend or an acquaintance, I would prefer to speak.
The phrase 'I could speak' is awkward and unclear in this context. Using 'I would prefer to speak' better expresses the intended meaning of preference.
× I could prefer communicating to the person face to face, and this is because I'm comfortable around that person.
✓ I would prefer communicating with the person face to face, and this is because I'm comfortable around that person.
The verb 'communicate' is followed by the preposition 'with', not 'to'. Also, 'could prefer' is incorrect; 'would prefer' is appropriate for expressing preference.
× But if it's someone I'm not so close to, our preferred social media conversation.
✓ But if it's someone I'm not so close to, I prefer social media conversation.
The phrase 'our preferred social media conversation' is incorrect and unclear. It should be 'I prefer social media conversation' to correctly express the subject's preference.
× Of course I argue with friends and we do argue over petty matters and serious matters alike, but I we always make sure to sort out our issues such that they don't last a week.
✓ Of course I argue with friends and we do argue over petty matters and serious matters alike, but we always make sure to sort out our issues so that they don't last more than a week.
The phrase 'but I we always' contains an extra pronoun 'I'. Also, 'such that' is better replaced with 'so that' for clarity. Adding 'more than' before 'a week' improves the expression of duration.
