× I don't prefer chatting with my friends because I think it would better to chatting with them in real life.
✓ I don't prefer chatting with my friends because I think it would be better to chat with them in real life.
The sentence uses a modal construction 'would better to chatting' which is incorrect. After 'would' + adjective 'better' we need the infinitive 'to be' or structure 'would be better to' followed by the base verb. Also 'chatting' should be the base verb 'chat' after 'to'. Suggestion: use 'would be better to chat' or 'it is better to chat'. Grammar problem type ID: 4
× I mean yeah, face to face better just by a screen.
✓ I mean, face-to-face is better than communicating through a screen.
The original sentence lacks a clear verb and comparative structure. 'Face to face better just by a screen' is ungrammatical. Insert 'is' to form a complete clause and use 'better than' to compare, and 'through a screen' is a clearer prepositional phrase. Also hyphenate 'face-to-face' as a compound adjective. Grammar problem type ID: 26
× Well, when I chat with my friends, I usually chat about study homework and about educational purpose, I mean career because I think my friend, uh, my classmates.
✓ Well, when I chat with my friends, I usually chat about studies, homework and educational matters, I mean careers, because I think my classmates...
The phrase 'study homework' is unnatural; use 'studies' and 'homework' separately. 'Educational purpose' should be plural or rephrased as 'educational matters' or 'career-related topics'. 'My friend, uh, my classmates' is unclear; use 'my classmates'. Also punctuation and pluralization improved. Grammar problem type ID: 14
× So I think it very normal to chat this topic with them.
✓ So I think it is very normal to chat about this topic with them.
The sentence is missing the verb 'is' for the clause 'I think it is very normal'. Also use the preposition 'about' before 'this topic'. Suggestion: include 'is' and 'about'. Grammar problem type ID: 27
× I think I keen on chat with only one friend because I think it better to chat in one to 1 instead of a group of people because it a little bit distracted and I mean UN unflaced.
✓ I think I am keen on chatting with only one friend because I think it is better to chat one-on-one instead of in a group of people, because group chats are a little distracting and, I mean, unfocused.
Multiple errors: 'keen on' requires a gerund ('chatting'), so change 'chat' to 'chatting'. Use 'am' after 'I'. 'Better to chat in one to 1' should be 'better to chat one-on-one' or 'one to one'. 'A little bit distracted' should be 'a little distracting' to describe the group. 'UN unflaced' is unclear; 'unfocused' fits the intended meaning. Also add commas and correct prepositions 'in a group' -> 'in a group' or 'with a group'. Grammar problem type ID: 11
× I refer to communicate face to face because I appreciate that people taking time to talk with me instead of just glue their eye on the screen.
✓ I prefer to communicate face-to-face because I appreciate people taking the time to talk with me instead of just having their eyes glued to the screen.
Use 'prefer' instead of 'refer'. 'Face-to-face' should be hyphenated. After 'appreciate' a gerund 'people taking' is acceptable but 'taking the time' is idiomatic. 'Glue their eye on the screen' is ungrammatical: use 'have their eyes glued to the screen'. Also ensure tense consistency and plural 'eyes'. Grammar problem type ID: 8
× I mean it not bad when using screen to communicate but it a little bit disrespectful.
✓ I mean it is not bad to use a screen to communicate, but it is a little bit disrespectful.
Missing verb 'is' in both clauses: 'it is not bad' and 'it is a little bit disrespectful'. Use the infinitive 'to use' after 'not bad'. Add article 'a' before 'screen' or use 'screens' or 'the screen'. Ensure parallel structure. Grammar problem type ID: 13
× I don't argue with my friends often because I'm often tolerated with the mistakes and often like avoid to have arguments because I think it's a waste of time and may contribute to negative relationship.
✓ I don't argue with my friends often because I often tolerate their mistakes and prefer to avoid arguments, because I think they're a waste of time and may contribute to negative relationships.
'I'm often tolerated with the mistakes' is incorrect passive; use active 'I tolerate their mistakes'. 'Often like avoid to have arguments' should be 'prefer to avoid arguments' (use infinitive after 'prefer'). 'It's a waste of time' should refer to 'arguments' plural: 'they're a waste of time'. 'Negative relationship' should be plural 'negative relationships' or 'a negative relationship' depending on context. Maintain subject-verb structure and use active voice. Grammar problem type ID: 4
