Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?

I prefer talking with a friend rather than a group because when chatting in a group it's sometimes really hard to listen to what a person is saying and.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
I prefer talking face to face. This is because you get to see their faces and expressions when you're talking in person. But on online, even when you say or use lol, it doesn't really mean that the person you're talking to is actually laughing.

What do you usually chat about with friends?

分數: 70.0建議: Finish your sentence and give one or two concrete reasons linked logically. Use linking words like "because" or "so" and avoid trailing off. Also keep it to a maximum of 3–4 sentences.
範例: I prefer talking one-on-one with a friend because it’s easier to concentrate on what they’re saying. For example, in a group conversation people often speak at once, so important details can be missed.
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
分數: 85.0建議: Good structure and clear reasons. To improve, make language slightly more natural (e.g., "online" not "on online") and tighten the second sentence. Use one linking word to connect ideas.
範例: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can read facial expressions and body language. Online messages can be misleading—for example, someone writing “lol” might not actually be laughing.

範例: Yes, I have had arguments with friends, usually because of misunderstandings about intentions. For instance, once a friend thought I was ignoring them, but after we talked it turned out to be a simple miscommunication, so we resolved it quickly.
× Yes, I do like chatting with my friends because I get to know what they feel and I get to know what they've done recently and I get to spend time.
✓ Yes, I do like chatting with my friends because I get to know how they feel, I get to know what they've done recently, and I get to spend time with them.
Error type: incorrect verb/phrase usage and missing object. 'What they feel' is unnatural; use 'how they feel' to ask about feelings. Also 'I get to spend time' lacks an object - add 'with them'. Keep present simple and present perfect ('they've done') for recent actions, which fits the context.
× Well, I usually chat with my friends about news in the morning or TV shows about last night.
✓ Well, I usually chat with my friends about the news in the morning or about TV shows from last night.
Use of articles and prepositions: 'news' requires the definite article 'the' in this context ('the news'). To indicate when the TV shows were broadcast, use 'from last night' or 'that were on last night'. Also add 'about' before 'TV shows' for parallel structure.
× I prefer talking with a friend rather than a group because when chatting in a group it's sometimes really hard to listen to what a person is saying and.
✓ I prefer talking with a friend rather than with a group because when you chat in a group it is sometimes really hard to hear what each person is saying.
Original sentence is incomplete and awkwardly structured, ending with 'and.' Fix by completing the thought and improving clarity: use 'rather than with a group' for parallelism, change 'when chatting' to 'when you chat' and 'listen to what a person is saying' to 'hear what each person is saying' for naturalness.
× But on online, even when you say or use lol, it doesn't really mean that the person you're talking to is actually laughing.
✓ But online, even when you write 'lol', it doesn't necessarily mean that the person you're talking to is actually laughing.
'On online' is incorrect; use 'online'. Use 'write' or 'type' rather than 'say' when referring to text. 'Doesn't really mean' can be better expressed as 'doesn't necessarily mean' for nuance. Quoting 'lol' is clearer; keep tense consistent.
× Yes, I have had an argue with my friends, mostly because it was a misunderstanding of what we thought of each other and.
✓ Yes, I have had an argument with my friends, mostly because it was a misunderstanding about what we thought of each other.
'Argue' is a verb; the correct noun is 'argument'. 'Misunderstanding of' is less natural than 'misunderstanding about'. The original sentence also ended with 'and.' Remove the trailing conjunction and complete the clause. Present perfect 'have had' is appropriate for life experiences that affect the present.
