Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details and a linking word. Replace informal phrases like "killing time" with more appropriate expressions for speaking tests.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. I usually chat with friends in my spare time or occasionally during dull classes. For example, we talk about recent news or funny posts online, which helps us relax and stay connected.

Sugerencia: Open with a direct topic sentence and avoid vague phrasing like "what has happened." Use specific examples and a linking word to explain why you avoid deep topics. Also fix awkward phrasing such as "think crucially."

Ejemplo: We mostly talk about recent online trends and everyday events. For instance, we might discuss a viral video or a personal anecdote, and because chats are casual, we rarely discuss serious issues in depth.

Sugerencia: Give a clear main sentence, then add a concise reason with an example. Avoid redundancy and improve grammar (e.g., "relate to what I'm talking about" and "with one friend the topic can be directed").

Ejemplo: I prefer chatting one-on-one because it's easier to focus on a specific topic. For example, I can discuss a niche hobby with a friend who shares it, whereas a group might not follow the conversation.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear preference, then give two specific reasons with linking words. Correct small grammatical issues ("get others response" -> "get others' responses") and avoid run-on sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer communicating via social media because we can get instant responses despite the distance and use emojis, photos, or voice notes to express ourselves more easily.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and then provide a clear reason and a short example. Improve grammar ("a same topic" -> "the same topic", "this argue" -> "this is usually a friendly debate"). Keep it concise and natural.

Ejemplo: Yes, we sometimes argue, but usually in a friendly way because we have different preferences. For example, when choosing a restaurant we often debate where to eat until we reach a compromise.

× I usually chat with my friends either in spare time or either in classes when sometimes the class is too dull and boring.

✓ I usually chat with my friends either in my spare time or sometimes during classes when the class is too dull and boring.

Use the preposition 'in' with 'my spare time' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'in my spare time' or 'during classes'. Remove the duplicated 'either' and place 'sometimes' appropriately. Suggestion: say 'in my spare time' and 'during classes'.

× We usually just chat about daily life or what happened on the Internet and it's a fun way of killing time.

✓ We usually just chat about daily life or about what happened on the Internet, and it's a fun way to kill time.

Use the infinitive 'to kill' rather than the gerund 'killing' after 'a way' when indicating purpose. Also add 'about' for parallel structure: 'chat about daily life or about what happened'.

× We usually chat about what has happened on the Internet or what has happened in our daily lives, which we can relate to each other.

✓ We usually chat about what has happened on the Internet or in our daily lives, which we can relate to.

The present perfect 'has happened' is acceptable, but 'which we can relate to each other' is redundant and awkward. Use 'which we can relate to' or 'which relates to us'. Also remove duplicate 'what has happened' repetition by simplifying second clause.

× And we rarely dig deep into deeper topics because chatting isn't a good time to think crucially.

✓ And we rarely dig into deeper topics because chatting isn't a good time for deep thinking.

'Dig deep into deeper topics' is repetitive; use 'dig into deeper topics'. 'Think crucially' is unidiomatic; use 'deep thinking' or 'think deeply'. Also 'a good time for' is a better collocation.

× Definitely with only one friend, because sometimes the topics I chat about aren't suitable for all people, or at least some of the people cannot understand or relate about what I'm talking about.

✓ Definitely with only one friend, because sometimes the topics I chat about aren't suitable for everyone, or at least some people cannot understand or relate to what I'm talking about.

Use 'everyone' rather than 'all people'. Do not use 'relate about'; the correct preposition is 'relate to'. Also remove 'the' before 'people' when speaking generally.

× While one friend the topic can be specifically directed to him or her.

✓ With one friend, the topic can be directed specifically to him or her.

Original sentence has incorrect word order and missing preposition. Begin with 'With one friend,' and place adverb 'specifically' before 'to him or her' for correct structure.

× I would prefer chatting by social media because on the Internet despite the distance we can instantly get others response and there are more ways for us to express ourselves either through emojis or texts.

✓ I would prefer chatting via social media because, despite the distance, we can instantly get others' responses online and there are more ways to express ourselves, either through emojis or text.

Use 'via' or 'on' social media rather than 'by'. Add possessive 'others'' for 'others' response'. 'Texts' can be 'text' or 'texts'; 'text' as a medium is fine. Add commas around 'despite the distance' for clarity.

× Yes, I often argue with my friends because normally for a same topic we might have different opinions about it.

✓ Yes, I often argue with my friends because normally, on the same topic, we might have different opinions about it.

Use 'on the same topic' rather than 'for a same topic'. Also add commas for readability. 'A same' is ungrammatical; 'the same' or 'the same topic' is correct.

× For example, when we are hanging out we might have a debate about which restaurant to go as there are so many choices.

✓ For example, when we are hanging out we might debate which restaurant to go to, as there are so many choices.

The correct structure is 'debate which restaurant to go to'. Place 'to' at end of clause. 'Have a debate about' is acceptable, but 'debate' is more natural here.

× But this argue is normally a debate about the topic.

✓ But this argument is normally just a debate about the topic.

Use the noun 'argument' rather than the verb 'argue'. Add 'just' for natural phrasing. Ensure article use: 'this argument' is correct.
