Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: avoid fillers (umm, uh), correct grammar (say “on a daily basis,” “social media”), and limit to 2–3 sentences. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific detail.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. I chat with friends on a daily basis because it’s the most convenient way to keep in touch. For example, I check messaging apps several times a day to share updates and make plans.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence and one or two specific examples; use linking words (however, for example) and correct small errors (“the meaning of life”). Keep it under five sentences.

Ejemplo: I usually chat about everyday life, such as work, school, or what we did over the weekend. Sometimes, however, we discuss deeper topics — for example, once we talked about the meaning of life after watching a documentary.

Sugerencia: Clarify and correct grammar (say “a group of people” and “one person”), remove redundancy, and use linking words (however, but). Provide a single concise preference with a brief reason and example.

Ejemplo: I prefer chatting in a group because it’s more fun and lively. However, I talk one-on-one when I need emotional support — for example, I call a close friend when I need advice.

Sugerencia: Use a clear comparative sentence and avoid colloquial fillers (“'cause”, “like”). Provide one specific reason for each preference and use linking words (while, whereas). Keep it natural and brief.

Ejemplo: I prefer face-to-face conversations with close friends because they feel more private and personal, whereas I use social media to communicate with acquaintances because it’s convenient and safer when meeting new people.

Sugerencia: Be direct: correct grammar (“everyone sometimes argues”), avoid contradictions, and give a brief example or explanation. Use linking words (but, because) to make it logical and coherent.

Ejemplo: Yes, I sometimes argue with friends, but not often because I avoid conflict. For instance, we once disagreed about plans for a trip, but we resolved it quickly by talking calmly and compromising.

× Yes, I do it only daily basis and actually chatting is one of the most umm, convenient ways to stay in touch with your friends uh, nowadays.

✓ Yes, I do it only on a daily basis, and actually chatting is one of the most convenient ways to stay in touch with your friends nowadays.

Missing preposition 'on' before 'a daily basis' and unnecessary commas/ fillers. The phrase 'chatting is one of the most convenient ways' correctly uses the gerund 'chatting' as a noun; remove extra 'umm' and 'uh' and redundant comma before 'nowadays' to improve fluency. Suggestion: use 'on a daily basis' and keep 'chatting is one of the most convenient ways to stay in touch with your friends nowadays.'

× And I use this everyday, every hour and have so much so many social medias on my phone.

✓ I use it every day, every hour, and have so many social media apps on my phone.

Use 'use it' (pronoun agreement) and 'every day' as two words for frequency. 'So much so many' is incorrect; use 'so many' with countable plural 'social media apps' or 'social media platforms.' 'Social media' is uncountable as a collective noun, so 'so many social media apps' is clearer. Also add commas for clarity.

× Usually I chat about everyday life and nothing special but sometimes we just chat about some philosophical things like what's the meaning of the life but it happens very rarely.

✓ Usually I chat about everyday life and nothing special, but sometimes we talk about philosophical things like the meaning of life, which happens very rarely.

Use 'talk' or 'chat' consistently; 'everyday' used as adjective is correct but here 'everyday life' is fine. Remove 'the' before 'meaning of life'. Combine clauses with commas and use 'which happens very rarely' or 'which is very rare' for clarity. Avoid repetition of 'chat' and awkward phrasing.

× So the main topic of my friends and me is just our updates.

✓ So the main topic between my friends and me is just our updates.

Word order for 'my friends and me' is acceptable but adding 'between' clarifies the relationship; otherwise 'the main topic of my friends and me' sounds awkward. Use 'between' to indicate conversation participants.

× Most of the time I prefer to chat with the group of people because they find it more fun.

✓ Most of the time I prefer to chat with groups of people because I find it more fun.

Use plural 'groups of people' or 'a group of people.' 'The group of people' implies a specific group; use 'groups' for general preference. Also 'they find it more fun' is unclear—speaker should use 'I find it more fun' to match perspective.

× You can discuss about one thing and make a lot of jokes, but on the other hand you can chat with one people and discuss every single problem you have in your life and guest support you need.

✓ You can discuss one thing and make a lot of jokes, but on the other hand you can chat with one person and discuss every single problem you have in your life and get the support you need.

Do not use 'discuss about'; 'discuss' does not take 'about.' Use 'one person' (singular) instead of 'one people.' 'Guest support' is incorrect; likely 'get support' is intended. Ensure verb forms match: 'get the support you need.'

× I prefer to talk face to face with my close friends only 'cause it feels a bit private and with non close friends I prefer to communicate via social media and it's like the most convenient way to know the new person and stay safe.

✓ I prefer to talk face to face with my close friends because it feels more private, and with not-so-close friends I prefer to communicate via social media because it is the most convenient way to get to know a new person and stay safe.

Use 'because' instead of colloquial ''cause.' Use 'more private' comparative. 'Non close friends' should be 'not-so-close friends.' Use 'get to know a new person' rather than 'know the new person.' Avoid 'it's like' filler. Maintain parallel structure.

× Of course, everyone's sometimes argue with even the closest friend, and actually I don't do this so often because I'm not a conflict person at all, but it happens time after time and I don't like the times.

✓ Of course, everyone sometimes argues even with their closest friends, and actually I don't do this very often because I'm not a confrontational person at all, but it still happens from time to time and I don't like it.

Subject-verb agreement: 'everyone' is singular so use 'argues.' Use 'even with their closest friends' for clarity and gender-neutral pronoun. 'Conflict person' is unnatural; use 'confrontational person.' 'Time after time' better as 'from time to time.' 'I don't like the times' is unclear—use 'I don't like it.'
