Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more coherent and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers and grammar errors, and use one or two supporting details with linking words. For example, say you enjoy chatting and give a reason and an example. Focus on correct verb forms and sentence structure.

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends. We often message on Instagram and have short video calls because it helps us stay close despite busy schedules. For example, last week we had a funny group video call to plan a weekend outing.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence and organize details logically using linking words. Use correct tense and more precise vocabulary (e.g., daily life, plans, outings). Limit to 2–3 supporting points with examples.

Example: We usually chat about daily life and future plans. For instance, we talk about what we did that day and arrange meetups, such as going for a picnic or seeing a movie next weekend.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and explain why using linking words. Correct grammar (subject-verb agreement, articles, plural/singular). Keep it concise and add a brief example to support your preference.

Example: I prefer chatting one-on-one or with one other person because conversations feel more personal. For example, I have one very close friend and we enjoy deep, private conversations when we meet.

Suggestion: Answer directly and expand with a reason and brief example. Use full sentences and avoid fragmented replies. Mention how social media suits your communication style.

Example: I prefer communicating via social media because I'm quite introverted in person and find online messaging less stressful. For example, I feel more confident expressing my thoughts in chat than during face-to-face conversations.

Suggestion: Clarify your intended meaning — the response seems confused. Give a direct, relevant answer and explain briefly with an example or reason. Use simple sentences and correct vocabulary (e.g., 'argue', 'disagree', 'rarely').

Example: No, I rarely argue with my friends because we try to discuss problems calmly. For instance, when we disagree about plans, we normally talk it through and compromise rather than argue.

× I mean to be talking and chatting with my friends like Instagram.

✓ I mean talking and chatting with my friends on Instagram.

The phrase 'to be talking' is unnecessary and awkward here; the present participle 'talking' correctly expresses the ongoing action. Use 'on Instagram' for the correct preposition. Suggestion: use 'talking' instead of 'to be talking' and 'on' for the platform.

× We like be easier, like funny and like it is our friendship and I enjoy that.

✓ We like to be easygoing and funny; it's our friendship and I enjoy it.

'Like be easier' is ungrammatical: use 'like to be' + adjective. 'Easier' is comparative and incorrect; 'easygoing' fits. 'Like it is our friendship' should be 'it's our friendship' and 'I enjoy that' becomes 'I enjoy it' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'like to be' + adjective and correct pronoun 'it'.

× We often call in talking video calls.

✓ We often talk on video calls.

'Call in talking video calls' is redundant and incorrectly ordered. Use 'talk on video calls' in present tense. Use preposition 'on' for 'video calls'. Suggestion: simplify to 'talk on video calls.'

× I love that.

✓ I love that.

This sentence is already correct in present tense and needs no change.

× I got all day life what we had, what we are gonna do, like making plans about meeting, like went outside, going to picnic.

✓ We talk about our daily life, what we did and what we're going to do, making plans to meet, go out, or have a picnic.

Original has incorrect verb forms and word order. Use 'talk about' rather than 'got', use past ('did') for completed events and 'we're going to' for future plans. Replace 'making plans about meeting' with 'making plans to meet' and use parallel gerunds 'go out' and 'have a picnic'. Suggestion: keep parallel structures and correct tense distinctions.

× I prefer chatting and talking with only one friend, like or two people on your side.

✓ I prefer chatting with only one friend, or at most two people beside me.

'On your side' is incorrect in this context; use 'beside me' or 'at a time'. Also 'chatting and talking' is redundant. Suggestion: simplify and use correct pronoun reference 'me'.

× Don't have many friends.

✓ I don't have many friends.

Missing subject 'I' makes the sentence incomplete. Also 'Don't' requires a subject. Suggestion: include the subject 'I'.

× I just have one very very very close friends and I enjoyed her company.

✓ I just have one very, very, very close friend and I enjoy her company.

'Friends' should be singular 'friend' to match 'one'. Verb tense 'enjoyed' (past) should be present 'enjoy' to match ongoing situation. Also add commas for emphasis. Suggestion: match singular/plural and present tense.

× Like via social media. I'm introverted in real person.

✓ I prefer via social media. I'm introverted in person.

'Like via social media' is colloquial; use 'I prefer via social media' or 'I prefer communicating via social media.' 'In real person' is incorrect phrase; use 'in person'. Suggestion: use 'in person' and a clearer verb.

× No, I don't hug you.

✓ No, I don't argue with my friends.

The student's answer 'No, I don't hug you' is likely unintentional and uses wrong pronoun and verb. The question asked about arguing; appropriate response is 'No, I don't argue with my friends.' If they meant 'I don't hug you', it would be contextually odd. Suggestion: answer the question directly and use correct object pronoun 'my friends'.
