Do you like chatting with friends?

Yes, I really enjoy chatting with my friends. I usually do it on my phone or laptop and I find conversations with them born interesting and relaxing because we often talk about outdated or Symphony stories.

What do you usually chat about with friends?
Candidate
When I chat with my friends, I usually talk about my daily life, for example, what I eat today or something interesting that happen at work yesterday. I often say funny stories and recent plans and I feel comfortable doing this because we trust each other and enjoy catching up.
Examiner
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
Candidate
MMM I think I don't have an answer for this question because I like ****. I like to chat with a group and chatting with only other friends. Uh, for example, when I want to talk about with more people, I will chat a group of people. When I want to chat a private story, I will chat only friend.
Examiner
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?

× I usually do it on my phone or laptop and I find conversations with them born interesting and relaxing because we often talk about outdated or Symphony stories.
✓ I usually do it on my phone or laptop and I find conversations with them both interesting and relaxing because we often talk about ordinary or silly stories.
'born interesting' is incorrect word choice; likely meant 'both interesting'. 'born' should be 'both'. 'outdated or Symphony stories' seems wrong word choice: 'outdated' should be 'ordinary' or 'old', and 'Symphony' is irrelevant — likely 'silly' or 'funny'. Suggest replacing with 'ordinary or silly stories'. Ensure adjectives modify noun correctly.
× When I chat with my friends, I usually talk about my daily life, for example, what I eat today or something interesting that happen at work yesterday.
✓ When I chat with my friends, I usually talk about my daily life, for example, what I ate today or something interesting that happened at work yesterday.
Tense inconsistency: 'what I eat today' should be past tense 'ate' when referring to completed actions earlier today. 'happen' must be past participle or past tense 'happened' because it refers to an event that occurred yesterday. Use past tense for finished past events.
× I often say funny stories and recent plans and I feel comfortable doing this because we trust each other and enjoy catching up.
✓ I often tell funny stories and recent plans and I feel comfortable doing this because we trust each other and enjoy catching up.
Collocation error: native speakers 'tell stories' not 'say stories'. 'Say' is used for utterances; 'tell' is used for sharing stories. Use correct verb 'tell' with 'stories'.
× MMM I think I don't have an answer for this question because I like ****.
✓ Well, I don't have a definite answer to this question because I like both.
Fillers and unclear '****' make sentence incoherent. Use 'Well' or 'Hmm' and 'don't have a definite answer' is clearer. 'Like both' completes the thought referring to two options.
× I like to chat with a group and chatting with only other friends.
✓ I like chatting with a group and chatting with just one other friend.
Parallel structure error: mix of 'to chat' and 'chatting' should be consistent. Use 'chatting' for both phrases. 'Only other friends' is unclear; 'just one other friend' clarifies singular preference.
× Uh, for example, when I want to talk about with more people, I will chat a group of people.
✓ For example, when I want to talk with more people, I will chat with a group of people.
Incorrect preposition and verb usage: 'talk about with' is wrong — use 'talk with' or 'talk to'. 'Chat a group of people' is incorrect; use 'chat with a group of people'.
× When I want to chat a private story, I will chat only friend.
✓ When I want to share a private story, I will chat with just one friend.
Article and noun choice errors: 'chat a private story' is ungrammatical; use 'share a private story' or 'talk about a private matter'. 'chat only friend' needs article 'one' and 'with': 'with just one friend'.
× I prefer communicate via social media because I think when I come in the cafe to play is a little bit embarrassing to me.
✓ I prefer communicating via social media because I think going to a cafe to hang out is a little bit embarrassing for me.
Verb form and preposition issues: after 'prefer' use gerund 'communicating'. 'come in the cafe to play' is unnatural: use 'going to a cafe to hang out'. 'embarrassing to me' should be 'embarrassing for me'.
× When I chatting online I think it comfortable and I can talk too much.
✓ When I'm chatting online I think it's comfortable and I can talk a lot.
Missing auxiliary 'am' for present continuous: 'When I'm chatting'. Missing 'is' in 'it comfortable' — include 'it's comfortable'. 'talk too much' sounds negative; 'talk a lot' is more natural. Use contractions or full 'it is'.
× Yeah, I usually angry with my friends.
✓ Yeah, I usually get angry with my friends.
Adjective 'angry' needs a linking verb: use 'get angry' or 'am angry'. 'Usually' with state suggests 'usually get angry' for recurring events.
× For example, I angry with my friends lies a heart exam or a hard question about daily life, and me and my friends can answer this question.
✓ For example, I became angry with my friends over lies, a hard exam, or a difficult question about daily life, and my friends and I could answer the question.
Multiple errors: 'I angry' needs 'I become/ became angry'. 'lies a heart exam' is unclear; likely 'lies, a hard exam' or 'a hard question'. Use 'over' to indicate cause: 'angry over lies' or 'angry about a hard exam'. Pronoun order: 'my friends and I'. Tense consistency: past 'became' and 'could' for ability in past.
