Part 1
考官
Do you like chatting with friends?
考生
Yes, I enjoyed chatting with friends because it helps me unwind and catch up on each other's lives. We often talk about our jobs, our future plans, our personal worries, etcetera, which also allows me to reflect on my own choices and feel supported.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
It actually depends on how close we we are. If we're close enough, like I mentioned earlier, we can talk about our works, our personal worries, our future plans, something deeper. But if we're not close enough, then we're just talk about some funny stuff and some delicious food, traveling experience, etcetera.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
I definitely prefer chatting with only one friend because a one-on-one conversation can be more personal, deeper and without interruption, while group chats often stay on service levels. More talk.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
I prefer to communicate face to face because I can see people's facial expressions and feel their emotions directly, while text messages often lead to misunderstandings. So I find in person conversations clearer and more satisfying.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
I usually avoid arguing with my friends because I don't like confrontation. Instead, I tell them what upsets me calmly and try to resolve the problems so that otherwise I'll just let it go if it's not important so that our friendship stays peaceful and we can move on quickly.

× Yes, I enjoyed chatting with friends because it helps me unwind and catch up on each other's lives.
✓ Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends because it helps me unwind and catch up on each other's lives.
The student used 'enjoyed' (past simple) but then describes a habitual or general truth ('it helps me unwind'), so present simple 'enjoy' is correct to match the ongoing habit.
× It actually depends on how close we we are.
✓ It actually depends on how close we are.
The sentence contains a duplicated pronoun 'we we'. Remove the extra 'we' to correct the pronoun repetition and make a grammatically correct clause.
× If we're close enough, like I mentioned earlier, we can talk about our works, our personal worries, our future plans, something deeper.
✓ If we're close enough, like I mentioned earlier, we can talk about our work, our personal worries, our future plans, or something deeper.
'Works' is usually plural for creative pieces or jobs; in this context 'work' (uncountable) or 'jobs' is more natural. Also add 'or' before 'something deeper' to join the list correctly.
× But if we're not close enough, then we're just talk about some funny stuff and some delicious food, traveling experience, etcetera.
✓ But if we're not close enough, then we just talk about some funny stuff, delicious food, travel experiences, etcetera.
'We're just talk' is incorrect; use 'we just talk' (simple present) for habitual action. 'Traveling experience' should be plural 'travel experiences' or 'travel experiences' and 'delicious food' doesn't need 'some' twice; streamline list punctuation.
× I definitely prefer chatting with only one friend because a one-on-one conversation can be more personal, deeper and without interruption, while group chats often stay on service levels.
✓ I definitely prefer chatting with only one friend because a one-on-one conversation can be more personal, deeper and without interruption, while group chats often stay on a surface level.
'a one-on-one' is correct but 'on service levels' is incorrect phrase; likely intended 'on a surface level'. Use the article 'a' before 'surface level'.
× More talk.
✓ There is more opportunity for talking.
'More talk' is a fragment and not a complete sentence. Rephrase to a full clause such as 'There is more opportunity for talking' or 'People talk more' to convey the idea clearly.
× I prefer to communicate face to face because I can see people's facial expressions and feel their emotions directly, while text messages often lead to misunderstandings.
✓ I prefer to communicate face-to-face because I can see people's facial expressions and feel their emotions directly, while text messages often lead to misunderstandings.
Use hyphenated 'face-to-face' when used as an adverbial phrase modifying 'communicate'; it's the standard form. Otherwise sentence is correct.
× So I find in person conversations clearer and more satisfying.
✓ So I find in-person conversations clearer and more satisfying.
Use hyphenated 'in-person' as a modifier before 'conversations'. Also plural 'conversations' fits; alternatively 'So I find conversations in person clearer...' The hyphen clarifies adjectival usage.
× I usually avoid arguing with my friends because I don't like confrontation.
✓ I usually avoid arguing with my friends because I don't like confrontation.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. Included to show it's fine.
× Instead, I tell them what upsets me calmly and try to resolve the problems so that otherwise I'll just let it go if it's not important so that our friendship stays peaceful and we can move on quickly.
✓ Instead, I calmly tell them what upsets me and try to resolve the problems; otherwise, if it's not important, I'll just let it go so our friendship stays peaceful and we can move on quickly.
Original contains multiple conjunctions and misplaced 'so that' fragments causing run-on and awkward structure. Reorder to place adverb 'calmly' before the verb, separate ideas with a semicolon or periods, and use 'otherwise' correctly to contrast the actions. This improves clarity and grammar.
