Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Reduce hesitations and filler words. Use correct expressions (e.g., ‘relieve my stress’ instead of ‘alleviate my strength’). Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends. I often talk to close friends when I'm confused about work or life, either face-to-face or online, because talking helps me relieve stress. As a result, we feel closer and more supported.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: give a clear main idea then specific examples. Avoid repetition and complete sentences. Use linking words like ‘however’ to contrast close friends and acquaintances. Keep vocabulary relevant (e.g., ‘casual acquaintances’).

Example: It depends on how close we are. With close friends I talk about personal issues, fashion and social events, whereas with casual acquaintances I usually stick to small talk, such as hobbies or recent news.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly, then explain with 1–2 specific reasons using linking words (e.g., ‘because’, ‘so’). Avoid unclear phrases like ‘on realistic’ and reduce hesitation. Use correct collocations (‘listen’ not ‘listening’ as preference).

Example: I prefer talking one-on-one because I listen more in a group and groups rarely allow deep conversations. Therefore, with a single friend I feel comfortable discussing personal or mental health issues.

Suggestion: Give a clear answer, then give two specific reasons with fluent phrasing. Avoid fillers and unclear references (e.g., ‘40 languages’ is confusing). Use vocabulary like ‘facial expressions’ and ‘tone of voice’. Keep it within 2–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can read facial expressions and hear tone of voice, which helps avoid misunderstandings. On social media you only see text, so it is harder to sense emotions.

Suggestion: Answer directly and explain how you handle disagreements with specific steps. Use clear linking phrases (‘however’, ‘afterwards’) and correct grammar (e.g., ‘everyone has unique views’). Avoid repetition and be concise about resolution process.

Example: Yes, I sometimes argue with friends, but I accept that everyone has different views. Usually we give each other time and then talk calmly a few days later, which helps us resolve the disagreement and move on.

× Yes, I like chatting with friends every time I uh, I'm confused about something at work, all in life I will chat with my close friends, uh, both face to face and, and uh, online.

✓ Yes, I like chatting with friends. Whenever I am confused about something at work or in life, I chat with my close friends, both face-to-face and online.

Original sentence mixes tenses and has awkward time expressions (every time, all in life) and punctuation. Use present simple for general likes (I like chatting) and present continuous or simple present for repeated habit (Whenever I am confused ... I chat). 'Face-to-face' is a compound adjective and should be hyphenated. Split into shorter clauses to improve clarity.

× This makes us, umm, uh, this makes us look close with each other and uh, alleviate my strength.

✓ This makes us seem close to each other and relieves my stress.

'Makes us look close with each other' is awkward; use 'seem close to each other'. 'Alleviate my strength' is incorrect collocation; likely meant 'relieve my stress' or 'reduce my stress'. Also use verbs that agree with the subject and standard noun phrases.

× Well, it really depends on the relationships between us, two close friends where we talk, talk, talk about everything like personal issues, fashion, about fashion, about social events.

✓ Well, it really depends on our relationship. If we are close friends, we talk about everything, such as personal issues, fashion, and social events.

Original has redundancy and mixed structures. 'Relationships between us' is better as 'our relationship'. Remove repeated words and use parallel structure with 'such as' for examples.

× All day about everything but if it is but if the friends is is a normal friends you just need to give them small talk and.

✓ We could talk all day about everything, but if they are just casual friends, you only need to make small talk.

Original contains subject-verb agreement errors ('the friends is'), incorrect article use ('a normal friends'), and incomplete sentence. Use plural 'they are' for 'friends' and 'casual friends' is a natural phrase. Complete the clause with 'make small talk'.

× I prefer to chat with only one friend because in a group I, I prefer to listening.

✓ I prefer to chat with only one friend because in a group I prefer listening.

Use parallel infinitive/gerund structure: 'prefer listening' or 'prefer to listen'. The original mixed 'prefer to listening' which is ungrammatical.

× I prefer listening and it is on realistic to uh, to some, uh, real talk in our group.

✓ I prefer listening, and it is unrealistic to have deep conversations in a group.

'on realistic' is incorrect; correct adjective is 'unrealistic'. Use 'to have deep conversations' instead of 'to some real talk'. Ensure adjective placement and infinitive usage are correct.

× But uh, with, uh, with a single person, it is natural to, uh, to talk some real things.

✓ But with a single person, it is natural to talk about personal matters.

'Talk some real things' is awkward. Use 'talk about personal matters' or 'have a real conversation'. Simplify and use 'about' with 'talk' for clarity.

× About about a mental problems, some personal issues.

✓ About mental problems and some personal issues.

Remove duplicate 'About' and use correct article/number agreement: 'mental problems' (plural) does not require 'a'. Connect items with 'and'.

× I prefer to communicate face to face because it is a natural one to, uh, to communicate with your friends, uh, because you can, you can, you can uh, get uh, the other persons, uh, uh, face expression and 40 languages, uh, but on social media, you, you just see.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because it is the most natural way to communicate with your friends, since you can see the other person's facial expressions and body language; on social media, you only see the text.

Multiple issues: 'a natural one' is unnatural—use 'the most natural way' or 'a natural way'. 'Other persons' should be 'other person's' (singular) or 'other people’s' (plural) with correct possessive. 'Face expression' should be 'facial expressions' and '40 languages' is likely 'body language'. Also use 'only see the text' for clarity.

× Uh, the, the words, the text, uh, uh, he typed on, he typed it in you, you can't feel.

✓ You only see the words or the text he typed; you can't feel the tone or emotions.

Original is fragmented and ungrammatical. Use a clear clause: 'the text he typed' and explain that tone/emotion cannot be felt in written messages.

× Yes, sometimes I argue with my friends, but I understand that everyone has it is a unique views about about one thing.

✓ Yes, sometimes I argue with my friends, but I understand that everyone has unique views about things.

Remove 'it is a' which is incorrect here, fix plural agreement 'unique views' and remove duplicate 'about'. Keep present tense consistency.

× So I can understand and I should we should I think we should keep our own views so every time.

✓ So I can understand. I think we should keep our own views and not take every argument personally.

Original repeats modal verbs awkwardly ('I should we should I think we should'). Simplify to a single modal 'should' and clarify the intended meaning. Add completion to the idea 'not take every argument personally'.

× Week and so after a few days we we can we we can get along and ignore the argument.

✓ After a few days, we can get along and ignore the argument.

Remove stray word 'Week' and repeated words. Simplify the structure to a clear temporal phrase 'After a few days' followed by the main clause.
