× Yes, I love to chat my friends, especially when there's an occasion or I need to or want to know how they are.
✓ Yes, I love chatting with my friends, especially when there's an occasion or when I need or want to know how they are.
Use the gerund 'chatting' after 'love' not the bare infinitive. Also include the preposition 'with' before 'my friends' and add 'when' for parallel structure: 'when I need or want to know'. This improves grammaticality and fluency.
× It depends on the situation or the reason why I need to chat them. But most of the time I chat with my friends. Our topic is just a random topics about politics or some the weather or some special event that gonna happen.
✓ It depends on the situation or the reason why I need to chat with them. But most of the time I chat with my friends. Our topics are just random, about politics, the weather, or some special event that is going to happen.
Use the preposition 'with' after 'chat' when followed by an object pronoun (chat with them). 'Topic' must be plural to agree with 'our' and 'are' for subject-verb agreement. Remove extra 'some' before 'the weather', and use 'is going to happen' instead of 'gonna happen' for standard grammar. Also restructure to avoid repetition.
× I'm an introvert type of person so I prefer to chat or talk my one and only friend, the closest one and.
✓ I'm an introvert, so I prefer to chat or talk with my one and only, my closest friend.
Use 'with' after 'chat' or 'talk' to indicate the person you are speaking to (chat with/talk with). 'Introvert type of person' is awkward; 'I'm an introvert' is concise. The sentence ended with 'and' which is incomplete; restructure to finish the thought and avoid redundancy.
× I think it more fun to communicate, uh, face to face because you can, umm, express your feelings, your emotion, and you have more time to talk, uh, about the topic that you're gonna, uh, talk about.
✓ I think it's more fun to communicate face to face because you can express your feelings and emotions, and you have more time to talk about the topic you're going to discuss.
Include the dummy subject 'it' and auxiliary 'is' contracted to 'it's' for 'more fun'. Use 'face to face' without commas. Use plural 'emotions' or keep both 'feelings and emotions' consistent. Avoid filler words. Replace colloquial 'gonna' with 'going to' and remove redundant 'talk about' by using 'discuss'.
× Yes, most of the time. And I think that's a fine thing with your friends and arguing with them is a is a regular banding, maybe something like that?
✓ Yes, most of the time. I think that's fine with friends; arguing with them is regular, maybe something like that.
Remove redundant fragments and fillers. 'A fine thing with your friends' is awkward; 'that's fine with friends' is clearer. 'Is a is a regular banding' is ungrammatical and unclear; replace with 'is regular' to convey frequency. Avoid trailing question tags when the speaker isn't asking for confirmation.
