Friends— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the comparison more directly and use consistent verb tenses. Replace “used to meet daily in school” with “used to meet at school every day,” and say “we spent time together during breaks.” Avoid fillers such as “uh” and explain the present situation clearly: you now meet outdoors or in cafés, usually at weekends because everyone is busy.

Ejemplo: Yes, there is a clear difference. We used to meet at school every day, especially during break time, but nowadays we usually meet in cafés or shopping malls. Since we are busy with our studies, we normally arrange these meetings at weekends.

Sugerencia: Begin with a clear topic sentence and avoid repeated or incorrect structures such as “I think with if we have if one have.” Use “quiet, comfortable places are suitable” and “it is difficult to hear each other.” Add a specific example, such as a quiet café being better than a crowded street, to make the answer more effective.

Ejemplo: Quiet and comfortable places are usually more suitable because people can talk easily and relax. For example, a quiet café is better than a crowded shopping centre, where it may be difficult to hear each other. A peaceful environment also makes it easier to discuss personal matters.

Sugerencia: State your preference immediately and avoid the unnatural phrase “I’m not having a group of friends.” Say “I prefer spending time with a small group” or “with one or two close friends.” Correct “the them” and use “who” rather than “which” for people. Briefly explain that smaller groups allow more meaningful conversations.

Ejemplo: I prefer spending time with a small group of close friends rather than with a large group. I have two or three friends who are very trustworthy, so I feel comfortable discussing personal matters with them. We often go out together and explore new places.

Sugerencia: Give a clear answer and avoid the contradiction between “not regularly” and “oftenly.” Use “occasionally” or “quite often,” not “oftenly.” Explain why you invite them and finish the sentence fully. “Invite friends home” is more natural than “invite friends at home.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I would invite my friends home occasionally, especially when we want to have a relaxed evening. We might watch a film, have some snacks, and talk together. It is also nice because my friends can get to know my family.

Sugerencia: Use a clear topic sentence followed by two or three well-organised reasons. Avoid repeating “also” and replace “interest worthy friend” with “a supportive and trustworthy friend.” Correct “share each problem” to “share their problems” or “discuss problems.” Use “my friends” consistently instead of switching to the general “you.”

Ejemplo: Friends are extremely important to me because they provide emotional support and companionship. A trustworthy friend listens to my problems, gives me honest advice, and stays by my side during difficult times. They also make everyday life more enjoyable by encouraging me to socialise and try new activities.

Sugerencia: Answer with the present tense because the question asks about your current routine. Avoid repeating “on weekends” and correct “we all are busy in my in our life in studying” to “we are all busy with our studies during the week.” Mention one or two typical activities rather than using several loosely connected phrases.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often go out with my friends, mainly at weekends because we are busy with our studies during the week. We usually explore different parts of our hometown and try new restaurants or cafés. Sometimes we also watch a film together.

Sugerencia: List the locations in a more natural order and avoid unnecessary repetition of “also” and “together.” Use “at the cinema” rather than “in theatre,” and include articles in “a café or a restaurant.” Since the question asks where, focus first on places, then briefly mention what you do there.

Ejemplo: We usually meet at a café, a restaurant, or the cinema, particularly at weekends. We sometimes meet in a shopping mall as well, where we can shop and have something to eat. When the weather is pleasant, we explore different places around our hometown.

Sugerencia: Complete the answer and organise the activities clearly. Replace “share about studies and other materials” with “discuss our studies and share useful materials,” and say “talk to my friends about their good and bad experiences.” Avoid repeated fillers and finish the final idea, such as “do a lot of sightseeing” or “do a lot of shopping.”

Ejemplo: I usually talk with my friends about our studies and personal experiences. We support each other when we have problems, and we also share useful study materials. Besides that, we enjoy eating out, watching films, and exploring new places in our town.

Sugerencia: Use the present perfect correctly: “I have known her since the third grade.” Replace “her nature is very good” with “she has a kind personality,” and correct subject–verb agreement: “she stands” and “she takes.” Since she is female, say “like her own sister,” and add one specific example of your long friendship if possible.

Ejemplo: Yes, I have known one of my closest friends since the third grade. She has a kind personality, and we have supported each other through both good and difficult times. She cares for me like a sister, so I really value our long friendship.

× In the past we used to meet daily in school and we often uh spend time together in uh break time at school.

✓ In the past, we used to meet daily at school, and we often spent time together during break time.

The answer describes a past routine, so spend should be changed to the past-tense form spent. During is the more appropriate preposition for a period such as break time.

× But uh currently we plan to meet outside and also it only depends on weekends if they are free or I am free.

✓ But currently, we plan to meet outside, and it depends on whether they are free or I am free at the weekend.

Whether is used when presenting two possible conditions. The original use of if is less suitable in this either-or structure.

× I think with if we have if one have to meet with their friends, comfortable in quiet places are good, but if the place is noisy or uncomfortable it would be difficult to hear each others talks and what they are discussing about their life.

✓ I think quiet and comfortable places are good for meeting friends, but noisy or uncomfortable places make it difficult to hear each other and discuss their lives.

The original sentence contains repeated conjunctions and an unclear word order. Organizing it into two contrasting clauses makes the meaning clearer and grammatically complete.

× If one have to meet with their friends, comfortable in quiet places are good.

✓ If one has to meet friends, quiet and comfortable places are good.

The singular subject one takes the singular verb has, not have. The original phrase comfortable in quiet places also has an incorrect subject-verb order.

× What they are discussing about their life.

✓ What they are discussing about their lives.

Discuss can be used with about, but the noun should be plural here because people generally have different lives. A more natural alternative is what they are discussing in their lives.

× It would be difficult to hear each others talks and what they are discussing about their life.

✓ It would be difficult to hear each other talking and what they are discussing about their lives.

Each other is already the correct reciprocal form and should not be written as each others. Lives should be plural because the people may be discussing different aspects of their lives.

× I'm not having group of friends.

✓ I do not have a group of friends.

The singular countable noun group requires the article a. Do not have is also the natural present-tense form for describing possession.

× I prefer to spend time with the them.

✓ I prefer to spend time with them.

The cannot be used before the object pronoun them. Use them alone after the preposition with.

× There are two or three friends of mine which are very close to me.

✓ There are two or three friends of mine who are very close to me.

Who is used for people, whereas which is generally used for things or animals. Therefore, who should refer to the friends.

× Not regularly, but oftenly I invite my friends to my home.

✓ Not regularly, but I often invite my friends to my home.

Oftenly is not normally used in standard English; the correct adverb is often. The adverb is also placed more naturally before the main verb invite.

× I think it is a personal thing to invite friends at home, but they can socialize with family members also and.

✓ I think inviting friends to my home is a personal choice, but they can also socialize with my family members.

The original sentence ends with an incomplete conjunction and contains an unclear infinitive structure. The corrected sentence has a complete main clause and a complete contrasting clause.

× It is a personal thing to invite friends at home.

✓ It is a personal thing to invite friends to my home.

To my home is used when describing inviting someone to a particular place. At home usually describes someone’s location rather than the destination of an invitation.

× My friends are very important to me, they stand with me in every situation and also a good interest worthy friend is important to you.

✓ My friends are very important to me because they stand by me in every situation, and a good, trustworthy friend is important to everyone.

The original sentence joins independent clauses with only a comma and shifts from me to you. Adding a conjunction and maintaining a consistent point of view creates a clearer sentence.

× A good interest worthy friend is important to you.

✓ A good, trustworthy friend is important to everyone.

Interest worthy is not the correct adjective for a friend in this context. Trustworthy accurately expresses the intended meaning and should be written as one adjective.

× He or she can share each problem and also listens to your problems and also helps to socialize with you in your bad times and also take care of you.

✓ He or she can share your problems, listen to you, help you during difficult times, and take care of you.

After the modal verb can, all following verbs must use the base form: share, listen, help, and take. The corrected parallel structure avoids incorrectly mixing can share with listens, helps, and takes.

× I prefer going out with my friends but on weekends because it was the time when we all are busy in my in our life in studying.

✓ I prefer going out with my friends on weekends because that is when we are less busy with our studies.

The answer describes the student’s current routine, so was should be changed to is. The phrase in our life in studying is also replaced with the grammatically correct phrase busy with our studies.

× Because it was the time when we all are busy in our life in studying.

✓ Because that is when we are less busy with our studies.

The question asks about the student’s usual present routine, so the present-tense form is is, not was. The corrected sentence also uses a natural present-tense expression.

× We can meet in theatre.

✓ We can meet in the theater.

Theater is a singular countable noun referring to a specific public venue, so it normally requires the definite article the.

× We prefer to try some delicious food in cafe or a restaurant.

✓ We prefer to try some delicious food in a cafe or a restaurant.

Cafe is a singular countable noun and needs an article. The article a is required before cafe, just as it is before restaurant.

× It is important to talk with the friends about their life or their bad and good times.

✓ It is important to talk with friends about their lives and their good and bad times.

The definite article the is unnecessary when referring to friends in general. Lives is plural because the friends may have different lives, and good and bad is the more natural adjective order.

× We also eat together and also do lot of.

✓ We also eat together and do a lot of other activities.

The quantifier lot requires the article a in the expression a lot of. The phrase also do a lot of is incomplete without a noun or activity after of.

× We also eat together and also do lot of.

✓ We also eat together and do a lot of other activities.

The original sentence ends after of and does not state what the friends do a lot of. Adding other activities completes the verb phrase and makes the sentence grammatically complete.

× Yes, I remembered I have one friend that is with me from third class.

✓ Yes, I remember that I have one friend who has been with me since third grade.

The student is talking about a current memory, so remember should be in the present tense. Has been expresses a situation that began in the past and continues now, while since introduces the starting point.

× I have one friend that is with me from third class.

✓ I have one friend who has been with me since third grade.

Who is the appropriate relative pronoun for a person. The pronoun his later in the answer must also be changed to her because the friend is female.

× She has been with me from third class.

✓ She has been with me since third grade.

Since is used with a specific starting point in time, such as third grade. From normally needs a matching ending point, so since is more appropriate here.

× She stand with me in every situation whether it is good or bad.

✓ She stands by me in every situation, whether it is good or bad.

The third-person singular subject she requires the verb stands. Stands by is also the natural expression for supporting someone.

× Also she take care of me and treat me like his own sister.

✓ She also takes care of me and treats me like her own sister.

With the third-person singular subject she, both verbs need the third-person singular ending: takes and treats.

× Treat me like his own sister.

✓ Treat me like her own sister.

The friend is female, so the possessive pronoun must be her, not his.
