考官
Do you like chatting with friends?
考生
Yes, I do like chatting with my friends because I get to know them better and especially when I have problems I get to talk to them and get their advice and vice versa.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
We usually chat about our goals in life, especially now that we are separating. We're going to different schools and that's the topic that made us feel more connected and be updated in each other's life.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
I prefer to chat with only one friend because I get to tell them things that I can't tell with a group of people and he or she is concentrated on what I'm saying, while when I chat with a group of people I tend to be left out.
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 get to tell them what I'm feeling. Unlike when I chat on social media, I can't tell them what I'm feeling directly because I can't explain it.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
I don't like arguing with my friends so when they say something that I don't like, I'll tell them, but not in a bad way so we don't get to an argument.

× Yes, I do like chatting with my friends because I get to know them better and especially when I have problems I get to talk to them and get their advice and vice versa.
✓ Yes, I like chatting with my friends because I get to know them better, and especially when I have problems I can talk to them and get their advice, and they can do the same for me.
Run-on and awkward phrasing plus modal verb choice: use simple present 'I like' instead of emphatic 'I do like' for a natural answer; insert conjunctions and commas to separate ideas; replace 'get to talk' with 'can talk' and 'vice versa' with explicit phrase 'they can do the same for me' for clarity.
× We usually chat about our goals in life, especially now that we are separating. We're going to different schools and that's the topic that made us feel more connected and be updated in each other's life.
✓ We usually chat about our goals in life, especially now that we are separating. We're going to different schools, and that topic makes us feel more connected and helps us stay updated on each other's lives.
Tense and subject-verb agreement issues: 'that made us feel' should be present 'makes us feel' because the situation is current; 'be updated in each other's life' is awkward—use 'helps us stay updated on each other's lives' with plural 'lives' and proper preposition 'on'.
× I prefer to chat with only one friend because I get to tell them things that I can't tell with a group of people and he or she is concentrated on what I'm saying, while when I chat with a group of people I tend to be left out.
✓ I prefer to chat with only one friend because I can tell that person things I can't say in a group, and he or she is focused on what I'm saying; when I chat with a group, I tend to be left out.
Pronoun consistency and word choice: 'them' is plural; replace with 'that person' to match 'one friend' or keep 'him or her' consistently. 'Tell with a group' is incorrect—use 'say in a group'. 'Concentrated' should be 'focused'. Simplify clauses and punctuation.
× I prefer to communicate face to face because I get to tell them what I'm feeling. Unlike when I chat on social media, I can't tell them what I'm feeling directly because I can't explain it.
✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because I can tell them how I feel. Unlike when I chat on social media, I can't express my feelings directly because it's harder to explain them there.
Preposition and verb choice: use 'how I feel' instead of 'what I'm feeling' for natural English; replace 'tell them what I'm feeling directly' with 'express my feelings directly'. Clarify reason with 'because it's harder to explain them there'.
× I don't like arguing with my friends so when they say something that I don't like, I'll tell them, but not in a bad way so we don't get to an argument.
✓ I don't like arguing with my friends, so when they say something I don't like, I tell them politely so we don't end up arguing.
Modal and structure: 'I'll tell them' implies future; use present 'I tell them' for habitual action. 'Not in a bad way' is informal—use 'politely'. 'We don't get to an argument' is unidiomatic—use 'we don't end up arguing'.
