考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
Uh, well, I usually chat with my friends about my workload and for my assignments, I usually chat with my classmates to get assignments done on time and reliable. Because if we do, if we cooperate with our colleagues or with our classmates, we can do well and perform well in our studies and work.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
Like, it really depends upon the situation. Sometimes we have to grow. I have to do, uh, group chatting because of the group assignments or group task. Uh, but to be very honest, I usually chat with my only one friend, uh, who is my best friend. I usually take advice from him about my life. What should I have to do?
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
Nowadays, uh, due to the workload and all the stuff, nobody have that much time to talk for face to face. So I usually prefer to talk with my friends, uh, through social media, which really helps and give us a privilege to connect with each other if even if we are overseas.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
Yes, of course. I often argue with my friends while we are doing assignments because they usually do their own thinking and they want to represent their own thinking in that assignment, which is not good. They should have to cooperate with uh, with me and with other, with other classmates so we can do well in the assignment.

× In this modern era, technology give us uh advantage to chat with our friends while we are at home at our work.
✓ In this modern era, technology gives us an advantage to chat with our friends while we are at home or at work.
Subject-verb agreement and incorrect article: 'technology' is singular so the verb should be 'gives' (third person singular). Also 'uh' is filler and removed, 'advantage' needs the indefinite article 'an'. 'at our work' is unnatural; 'at work' is idiomatic. Suggestion: match verb form to singular subject and use correct articles and natural prepositional phrases.
× I usually chat with my friends to get an advice to take a help with my assignments or my workload.
✓ I usually chat with my friends to get advice or help with my assignments and my workload.
'Advice' and 'help' are uncountable nouns and should not take the indefinite article 'an'. Use 'advice' and 'help' without 'a' or use 'some' if needed. Also tighten conjunctions: 'or'/'and' depending on meaning; 'take a help' is incorrect — use 'get help'.
× I get really get relieved when I talk to my friend while chatting.
✓ I really feel relieved when I talk to my friends while chatting.
Redundant 'get really get' is a repetition and incorrect. Use 'feel relieved' or 'get relieved'. Also maintain consistent plural 'friends' as earlier or use singular 'my friend' if referring to one person. Remove duplicate verbs.
× I usually chat with my friends about my workload and for my assignments, I usually chat with my classmates to get assignments done on time and reliable.
✓ I usually chat with my friends about my workload, and for my assignments I chat with my classmates to get assignments done on time and reliably.
Unnecessary repetition and incorrect adverb/adjective use: 'reliable' describes people or things, not the manner of finishing tasks; use the adverb 'reliably' or phrase 'in a reliable way'. Also remove extra comma splice by adjusting punctuation. 'for my assignments' is acceptable but position it to avoid awkwardness.
× Because if we do, if we cooperate with our colleagues or with our classmates, we can do well and perform well in our studies and work.
✓ If we cooperate with our colleagues or classmates, we can perform well in our studies and at work.
The original has redundant connectors 'Because if we do, if we' and repetition 'do well and perform well'. Begin with a single conditional 'If we cooperate' and streamline repeated ideas. Use 'at work' for the workplace and avoid duplicated verbs.
× Sometimes we have to grow.
✓ Sometimes we have to group chat.
The student likely meant 'group chat' but wrote 'grow', which is incorrect word choice (lexical error). This is not a pronoun error strictly, but it is a sentence structure/word choice problem. Replace with the intended phrase. Suggest listening for pronunciation and choosing correct vocabulary.
× I usually chat with my only one friend, uh, who is my best friend.
✓ I usually chat with only one friend, who is my best friend.
The phrase 'my only one friend' is ungrammatical; 'only one friend' or 'my only friend' are correct choices. Remove filler 'uh'. Use 'only one friend' to emphasize singularity.
× I usually take advice from him about my life. What should I have to do?
✓ I usually take advice from him about my life. What should I do?
'What should I have to do?' is incorrect because 'have to' expresses obligation and does not combine with 'should' here. Use 'What should I do?' for asking for advice. Keep modal verb usage simple: 'should' + base verb.
× Nowadays, uh, due to the workload and all the stuff, nobody have that much time to talk for face to face.
✓ Nowadays, due to the workload and other commitments, nobody has that much time to talk face-to-face.
Subject-verb agreement: 'nobody' is singular and requires 'has' not 'have'. 'for face to face' is incorrect prepositional use; use the adjective/adverb 'face-to-face' and remove 'for'. Replace informal 'all the stuff' with 'other commitments'.
× So I usually prefer to talk with my friends, uh, through social media, which really helps and give us a privilege to connect with each other if even if we are overseas.
✓ So I usually prefer to talk with my friends through social media, which really helps and gives us the opportunity to connect with each other even if we are overseas.
Subject-verb agreement: 'which' refers to 'social media' (singular idea) so the verb should be 'gives'. 'Privilege' is an odd collocation; 'opportunity' fits better. Remove extra 'if' in 'if even if'. Avoid fillers.
× Yes, of course. I often argue with my friends while we are doing assignments because they usually do their own thinking and they want to represent their own thinking in that assignment, which is not good.
✓ Yes, of course. I often argue with my friends while we are doing assignments because they usually follow their own ideas and want to present them in the assignment, which can be a problem.
Awkward repetition 'do their own thinking' and 'represent their own thinking' — simplify to 'follow their own ideas' and 'present them'. 'Which is not good' is vague; 'which can be a problem' is clearer. Maintain present continuous 'are doing' as context.
× They should have to cooperate with uh, with me and with other, with other classmates so we can do well in the assignment.
✓ They should cooperate with me and with the other classmates so we can do well on the assignment.
'Should have to' incorrectly combines obligation modals; use 'should cooperate' to give advice. Remove filler 'uh' and redundant 'with other, with other'. Use 'on the assignment' as the correct preposition. Suggest avoiding stacked modal constructions and redundancy.
