Friends— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make your answer clearer and more fluent: start with a direct topic sentence, then give two specific contrasting reasons using linking words (e.g., 'now' and 'in the past'). Avoid filler sounds and incorrect word forms. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., 'meet online', 'get to know', 'classmates', 'neighbours'). Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, there is a big difference. Nowadays I often meet people online and get to know them quickly through social media, whereas in the past I usually met friends at school or among neighbours because we lived close to each other.

Sugerencia: Give a clear direct answer and then support it with organized reasons and examples. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example'. Correct grammar: 'it depends on age', 'high school students', 'older people'. Avoid vague or incomplete phrases.

Ejemplo: I think it depends on people's age and interests. For example, high school students often prefer cafes, parks or playgrounds because they want relaxed, social spaces, while older people may choose quieter places like restaurants or community centres.

Sugerencia: Give a concise direct statement of preference, then add 1–2 specific reasons with clear vocabulary (e.g., 'one close friend', 'quiet places'). Remove fillers and unclear words like 'my warm' and 'not ground place'.

Ejemplo: I prefer spending time with one close friend because I enjoy quiet conversations and find large noisy groups distracting. For instance, I like meeting a friend at a calm cafe where we can talk properly.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and give a clear reason with correct phrasing: 'I only invite my best friends' and explain why. Replace 'conform with a person' with 'get along with strangers' or 'feel comfortable with people I don't know well'. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I usually only invite my best friend to my home because I feel most comfortable with people I know well. I prefer a relaxed atmosphere and avoid inviting many acquaintances.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear statement about importance, then give specific reasons and examples. Use correct grammar: 'they are like siblings', 'give me good advice'. Avoid fillers and repetition.

Ejemplo: Friends are very important to me because they feel like family and offer emotional support. For example, when I have a problem I can talk to them and they often give helpful advice.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear contrast between past and present using linking words ('in high school' vs 'now'). Use precise time expressions and reduce filler words. Structure: one sentence for past habit, one for current situation with frequency and example.

Ejemplo: In high school we met almost every day, but now at university we usually meet only on weekends. We often hang out in cafes or go for a walk so we can catch up and talk.

Sugerencia: Answer directly with a list of typical places using clear linking words ('usually', 'sometimes') and concise phrases. Correct collocations: 'go to a restaurant', 'go to the cinema', 'study in a cafe', 'do assignments'. Avoid unfinished sentences.

Ejemplo: We usually meet at restaurants, and sometimes we go to the cinema. After that we often study together in a cafe and work on assignments.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence and list common activities with correct verbs and vocabulary: 'share stories', 'play games', 'watch movies', 'go out'. Use linking words like 'and' or 'also' and avoid filler sounds.

Ejemplo: We usually chat and share stories about our lives. Sometimes we play games together, go out, or watch movies at my home.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer and specify how long you have known them and how you stay in touch. Use correct phrasing: 'I have known her since high school' and give brief supporting details (e.g., 'we still chat and meet up on weekends').

Ejemplo: Yes, I have a friend I have known since high school. We still keep in touch by chatting online and meeting up to hang out on weekends.

× Definitely different, uh, because of now, uh, we can meet friends just, uh, buy online, we can know each other, uh, fastly, but uh, in the past, we can know friend by we can we study with each other or we living, uh, nearby.

✓ It's definitely different now because we can meet people online and get to know them quickly, but in the past we met friends by studying together or by living nearby.

This sentence has multiple sentence structure issues (26) and tense/word form problems. Run-on fragments and incorrect word choices ('buy online' instead of 'by/online', 'fastly' instead of 'quickly') make it unclear. I combined ideas into coherent clauses, used the present simple for general truths ('we can meet'), corrected 'buy' to 'by/online', changed 'fastly' to 'quickly', and made the contrast with the past clear ('in the past we met'). To improve, separate ideas into shorter clauses, use correct adverbs, and keep consistent tense when comparing past and present. Use: 'we can meet people online', 'get to know them quickly', and 'in the past we met'.

× My thing is it depend on uh age because umm like high school, high school student, we can meet each other in Cafe or in some place like playground or the park and summer Walker or people are the older people they can meet.

✓ I think it depends on age because, for example, high school students can meet in a cafe or places like the playground or the park, while older people meet elsewhere.

This contains incorrect preposition and agreement use (11, 27) and unclear phrasing. 'It depend' should be 'it depends' (subject-verb agreement). 'in Cafe' needs an article or lowercasing ('in a cafe'), and 'in some place like playground' should be 'places like the playground'. I rephrased to make the contrast clear with 'while'. To improve, ensure verbs agree with subjects and use appropriate prepositions and articles: 'depends on age', 'in a cafe', 'places like the playground'.

× I prefer, umm, mostly, I prefer, uh, meet with, uh, my warm, only one friend because umm, and I don't like, uh, the place with, uh, most of noise. I'm like, I like, uh, calm place or not ground place.

✓ I mostly prefer to meet with only one close friend because I don't like very noisy places. I prefer calm places.

This has subject-verb and third person issues (2) and awkward word choice. 'I prefer meet with' requires the infinitive 'to meet' or a gerund; I used 'prefer to meet'. 'My warm' is unclear; likely 'my close friend'. 'Most of noise' should be 'very noisy places'. Simplify and use correct verb forms and adjectives. To improve, use 'prefer to + verb' and correct adjective forms: 'noisy', 'calm'.

× Umm, I think is, uh, I only invite my, uh, best friend because we can know each other clearly and I'm not a person, uh, easy to conform with a person that I'm not, uh, really kind of.

✓ I think I only invite my best friend because we understand each other well, and I'm not the kind of person who easily fits in with people I'm not close to.

This contains incorrect pronoun and relative clause usage (12) and awkward phrasing. 'I think is, I only invite' needed subject 'I think I'. 'We can know each other clearly' is better as 'we understand each other well'. 'I'm not a person easy to conform with a person that I'm not really kind of' is ungrammatical; I replaced it with a clear relative clause: 'the kind of person who easily fits in with people I'm not close to'. To improve, use clear pronouns and standard relative clauses: 'the kind of person who...'.

× Yes, my friend, uh, they're really important because they're not just a friend. They like my uh, sister or like brother. When I'm have something to say, I just uh, talk with them and discuss with good advice.

✓ Yes, my friends are really important because they're like sisters or brothers to me. When I have something to say, I talk with them and they give me good advice.

Problems include incorrect pronoun number and verb forms (12, 5). 'My friend, they're' mixes singular and plural; I corrected to plural 'friends' and 'are'. 'They like my sister or like brother' should be 'they're like sisters or brothers to me'. 'When I'm have' is wrong; use 'When I have'. Also 'discuss with good advice' is unnatural; use 'they give me good advice'. To improve, match pronoun number, use correct verb forms, and choose natural collocations ('give advice').

× Umm, when I'm in high school, we always meet each other, but right now we in university and we just meet each other in the weekend, uh, and we hang out to go somewhere that, uh, we can talk with each other.

✓ When I was in high school, we always met each other, but now we are at university and we only meet on the weekend, and we hang out somewhere where we can talk.

Tense misuse (6,5): the speaker refers to past habits so use past simple 'was' and 'met'. For current situation use present 'we are at university' and 'we only meet on the weekend'. I simplified 'hang out to go somewhere that we can talk with each other' to 'hang out somewhere where we can talk'. To improve, keep past events in past tense and present facts in present tense; use 'on the weekend' or 'at the weekend' depending on variety.

× Umm, me and my friend, we always meet each other, uh, at the restaurant and sometime we uh go to the cinema and after that sometime we go to cafe for studying on and do assignment. But umm and some umm, go to my.

✓ My friends and I always meet at restaurants; sometimes we go to the cinema, and after that we sometimes go to a cafe to study and do assignments.

Article and word order errors (22,17). Use 'My friends and I' instead of 'me and my friend' for subject position. 'At the restaurant' is okay but plural 'restaurants' fits general habit. 'Go to cafe' needs an article: 'a cafe'. 'Do assignment' should be plural 'do assignments'. I removed the fragment 'But umm and some umm, go to my' which is incomplete. To improve, use subject pronouns correctly, include articles before countable nouns, and pluralize when speaking generally.

× Umm, I usually talk and sharing with uh, the story that we have met and sometimes we play games together or we move, uh, or we watch movie in my home.

✓ I usually talk and share stories about things we have experienced, and sometimes we play games together, move around, or watch movies at my home.

This involves incorrect verb form usage (8,10). 'Talk and sharing' should be 'talk and share' (parallel verbs). 'The story that we have met' is incorrect; use 'stories about things we have experienced' or 'stories about what happened'. 'Watch movie' needs plural 'movies' or 'a movie' and preposition 'at my home'. I also clarified 'move' to 'move around' though context is vague. To improve, keep parallel verb forms and use correct noun plurality and prepositions.

× Yes, umm, I have one friend that I am known her uh, since in my high school, uh, since I was in high school and we, uh, we and we connected with us the until now we just we are chatting and hang out together.

✓ Yes, I have one friend whom I have known since high school. We have stayed connected until now; we chat and hang out together.

This has tense and pronoun problems (6,12). 'I am known her since' is wrong; use present perfect 'I have known her since high school'. Use 'whom' or 'who' as the relative pronoun and correct word order. 'We connected with us the until now' is ungrammatical; I used 'We have stayed connected until now'. To improve, use present perfect for actions that started in the past and continue now: 'have known', 'have stayed connected'.
