Chatting— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and avoid repetition; start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons with a linking word, and finish with a short example. Reduce filler words such as 'like' and repeated phrases to sound more natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends in my free time because it helps me relax and stay connected. For example, we often share photos and use emojis to show how we feel, which makes conversations lively. Also, I prefer messaging to calls because messages don’t get interrupted by network issues.

Gợi ý: Organise your response: give a topic sentence then list specific topics with linking words and a brief example. Avoid hesitation and correct sentence structure to be clearer and more natural.

Ví dụ: I usually chat with my friends about personal updates and plans. For instance, I tell them about my day, family events, and career opportunities, and we also discuss hobbies and our wider friend circle when planning outings.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer first, then explain with clear examples and linking words. Remove fillers (umm, like) and finish the sentence. Be specific about when you choose each option.

Ví dụ: It depends on the topic. If I want to share personal matters, I prefer messaging my best friend because it feels private. However, if we are discussing schoolwork or planning an event, I usually chat with a small group of three friends so we can coordinate easily.

Gợi ý: This answer is clear and relevant; to improve, add a contrasting reason for social media and a brief example to show balance. Use one linking word to compare both modes.

Ví dụ: I prefer face-to-face communication because it allows me to read emotions and understand someone’s situation more fully. That said, I use social media for quick updates or when meeting in person isn’t possible—for example, I message friends when I’m travelling.

Gợi ý: Start with a concise direct statement, then give a reason and a specific brief example. Avoid absolute phrasing and fillers; explain how you handle disagreements calmly to show maturity.

Ví dụ: I only argue with friends when I believe they are making a harmful decision, and I try to be constructive rather than confrontational. For example, when a friend considered dropping an important class, I calmly explained my concerns and suggested alternatives so we could discuss it rationally.

× I do that in my free time.

✓ I do that in my free time.

No change needed; sentence is grammatically correct. 'Do that' is acceptable for habitual actions. Keep as is.

× Also, I love chatting with them because I feel very comfortable chatting with them.

✓ Also, I love chatting with them because I feel very comfortable doing so.

Repetition of 'chatting with them' is stylistically poor. Replace the second phrase with 'doing so' to avoid redundancy and improve cohesion. (This is a wording/style improvement rather than a strict grammar category from the list, so it is applied as a correction for clarity.)

× And I think chat is so much fun.

✓ And I think chatting is so much fun.

Use the gerund 'chatting' as the noun form of the verb. 'Chat' as a bare noun is less natural here. Gerund is required to refer to the activity.

× Like we can use any emoji.

✓ We can use any emoji.

Remove filler 'Like' at the start for formality and clarity. The sentence is otherwise correct; 'use' is the base verb and appropriate.

× It's so fun.

✓ It's a lot of fun.

'So fun' is informal and acceptable in speech but 'a lot of fun' is grammatically preferable in standard English. This improves register.

× And like chat is easier to use as compared to calls because like they're in calls, we face network issues.

✓ Chatting is easier than calling because when people are on calls we sometimes face network issues.

Several issues: use gerund 'chatting' as the activity noun; 'easier than' is the correct comparison structure; 'calling' should mirror gerund; remove filler 'like'; rephrase 'they're in calls' to 'when people are on calls' and 'we sometimes face network issues' for clarity and grammatical flow.

× I do prefer chat about my life like what is actually happening in my life and I also tell them what I had I what I had been in my day.

✓ I prefer to chat about my life, like what is actually happening, and I also tell them what I did during my day.

Use 'prefer to chat' (infinitive) or 'prefer chatting' consistently; 'what I had I what I had been in my day' is ungrammatical and unclear. Replace with 'what I did during my day' to express past activities. This corrects tense and structure.

× Moreover, I tell them about my family, I tell them about my career opportunities.

✓ Moreover, I tell them about my family and about my career opportunities.

Combine clauses with 'and' to avoid comma splice; 'I tell them about' need not be repeated. This fixes sentence structure errors (comma splice) and improves cohesion.

× I I tell them about my passions.

✓ I tell them about my passions.

Duplicate 'I' is a repetition error—remove the extra word. This fixes a simple typing/speech repetition.

× We do talk about like our friends circle like what is going to.

✓ We also talk about our friend circle and what is going to happen.

Remove filler 'like', fix 'friends circle' to 'friend circle' or 'circle of friends', and complete the clause 'what is going to happen' to make sense. This corrects sentence fragment and awkward phrasing.

× Actually it depends on the situation.

✓ Actually, it depends on the situation.

Add a comma after 'Actually' for clarity. Sentence is otherwise correct; minor punctuation improves flow.

× Like what do you want to talk about?

✓ What do you want to talk about?

Remove filler 'Like' at the start. The question is correct without it; removing improves formality and clarity.

× If I want to talk about like my personal things and my day-to-day activities, I would prefer to chat with my best friend or if I want to talk about something which is umm like related to my school and anything else.

✓ If I want to talk about personal things and my day-to-day activities, I prefer to chat with my best friend; if I want to talk about something related to school or other matters, I chat with three friends.

Remove filler 'like' and 'umm'. Use parallel structure for the conditional: 'If... I prefer...' not 'I would prefer' (both are acceptable but keep tense consistent). Clarify second clause to mirror original meaning and complete the sentence. This corrects verb form and sentence structure issues.

× So I talk with my three friends and.

✓ So I talk with my three friends.

Trailing 'and' creates a fragment; remove it to complete the sentence. This fixes sentence fragment error.

× I prefer to communicate face to face because when we talk face to face, we understand better.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because when we talk face to face, we understand each other better.

Add 'each other' to specify reciprocity in understanding. This clarifies meaning and improves naturalness.

× We understand the feelings, we can see the emotions on the face and more.

✓ We understand feelings; we can see emotions on the face and more.

Remove unnecessary definite article 'the' before 'feelings' and 'emotions' for general statements. Use semicolon or conjunction to join clauses. This corrects article usage and improves natural phrasing.

× Moreover, it also helps to feel the situation the person is going through.

✓ Moreover, it also helps to understand the situation the person is going through.

'Feel the situation' is awkward; 'understand the situation' is idiomatic. Use 'understand' instead of 'feel' to convey comprehension. This corrects verb choice and prepositional phrase usage.

× As per me, I argue with them only when they are wrong and not when they are right because I always want my friends to be happy and not to get in the situation where they uh have to go through a lot.

✓ In my opinion, I argue with them only when they are wrong, not when they are right, because I always want my friends to be happy and not to be in situations where they have to go through a lot.

'As per me' is nonstandard; use 'In my opinion'. Change 'get in the situation' to 'be in situations' and remove filler 'uh'. Fix plural 'situations' for generality. This addresses preposition and idiom issues.

× So I just argue with them when they make something bad or wrong.

✓ So I only argue with them when they do something wrong or behave badly.

'Make something bad or wrong' is unidiomatic. Use 'do something wrong' or 'behave badly'. 'Only' is more natural than 'just' in this context. This corrects verb phrase selection and pronoun/word usage.
