Chatting— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your answer more concise and correct minor grammar mistakes. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific examples using linking words. Avoid filler words like 'uh' and repetition.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends. For example, when I have free time I often talk to colleagues about office news and upcoming events, which helps me stay informed. This keeps our conversations interesting and useful.

Gợi ý: Be specific and avoid vague phrases. Give one or two concrete topics with brief examples and use linking words (for example, sometimes, also). Remove hesitations and awkward expressions like 'back biting'.

Ví dụ: We mainly talk about people's lives and hobbies. For example, we discuss who is getting married next month or plan birthday celebrations, and sometimes we share amusing stories about coworkers.

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence stating your preference, then explain briefly why with a specific detail. Remove fillers and correct small grammar errors (e.g., 'one own' -> 'one friend'). Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer chatting with one friend rather than a group because I'm shy. When I'm with a single friend I feel relaxed and can speak freely, but in groups I usually stay quiet and listen because I feel anxious.

Gợi ý: State your preference clearly, then provide two specific reasons using linking words like 'because' and 'also'. Avoid repetition and filler words.

Ví dụ: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can read someone's facial expressions and respond immediately. Also, online chats can be less reliable since you may not know the person's true identity.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence and a balanced explanation. Use precise words to explain your attitude to conflict and a brief example of when you might speak up. Remove hesitations and avoid contradictory phrases like 'avoid but jump into the fight'.

Ví dụ: I usually avoid arguing with friends because it upsets me and affects my mood. However, if an important issue arises—such as someone being treated unfairly—I would speak up calmly to resolve it.

× chatting is one of my favorite thing and whenever I do get time, I speak to my friends and we do a chat a lot about, uh, people, what is happening around our workplace.

✓ chatting is one of my favorite things and whenever I do get time, I speak to my friends and we chat a lot about people and what is happening around our workplace.

'one of my favorite thing' is incorrect because 'one of' requires a plural noun; use 'things'. 'we do a chat a lot about' is awkward and ungrammatical — use the verb 'chat' without 'do' to form a natural plural action: 'we chat a lot about'. Grammar tip: after 'one of', use a plural noun (one of my favorite things). Use simple verbs for habitual actions (we chat) rather than 'do a chat'.

× So it's quite interesting and you get to know lot of things and a lot of information about people.

✓ So it's quite interesting and you get to know a lot of things and a lot of information about people.

Missing article 'a' before 'lot of' is incorrect; 'a lot of' is the correct phrase. Add the indefinite article to form the common quantifier. Grammar tip: use 'a lot of' for large quantities (a lot of information).

× we chat about the people, what they're doing, their hobbies or if any interesting thing about them.

✓ we chat about people, what they're doing, their hobbies, or any interesting things about them.

Using the definite article 'the people' is unnecessary in this general context; use 'people'. 'if any interesting thing' is ungrammatical—use 'any interesting things' or 'anything interesting'. Grammar tip: omit 'the' for general plural nouns and use plural or uncountable forms appropriately (anything interesting / any interesting things).

× Sometimes it could be marriages or sometimes it's birthday.

✓ Sometimes it could be marriages or sometimes it's someone's birthday.

'it's birthday' is incorrect because 'birthday' needs a possessive to indicate whose birthday (someone's birthday) or an article and context. Use 'someone's birthday' to be natural. 'marriages' is acceptable if referring to wedding events. Grammar tip: use possessives with occasions like birthdays (it's my friend's birthday / someone's birthday).

× Uh, and sometimes also we do, uh, which, which biting, back biting, So, umm, we do a lot of things.

✓ Uh, and sometimes we also do backbiting. So, umm, we do a lot of things.

'which, which biting, back biting' is disfluent and ungrammatical. Use the noun 'backbiting' (gerund) directly. This falls under verb + -ing form since 'backbiting' is the correct gerund/noun form. Grammar tip: use 'backbiting' without 'do' (or say 'we also backbite' but 'we do backbiting' is less natural).

× I do not like to speak with lot of group people.

✓ I do not like to speak with a lot of people in a group.

'with lot of group people' is incorrect order and missing article 'a'. Use 'a lot of people in a group' to express many people in a group setting. Grammar tip: place quantifiers before nouns and add articles when needed ('a lot of people').

× Instead I just chat with my one own, uh, friend.

✓ Instead I just chat with my one friend or with my own friend.

'my one own friend' is incorrect pronoun/word order. Use 'one friend' or 'my own friend' but not both together. Grammar tip: choose either 'one friend' (meaning a single friend) or 'my own friend' (emphasizing ownership).

× when I'm in a group, I quite feel nervous and anxious, so at that time I just listen to them.

✓ When I'm in a group, I often feel nervous and anxious, so at that time I just listen to them.

'I quite feel' is unnatural here; 'quite' is misused. Use 'often feel' or 'feel quite nervous'. This entry also corrects adverb placement (use 'often' for frequency). Classified under article list? Actually it's adverb placement: changed to 'often feel'. Grammar tip: place frequency adverbs like 'often' before main verbs (I often feel). Use 'quite' before adjective ('feel quite nervous').

× It gives me uh, I feel very relaxed when I'm chat.

✓ It makes me feel very relaxed when I'm chatting.

'when I'm chat' is incorrect; after 'I'm' use the present participle 'chatting'. Also 'it gives me I feel' is redundant; use 'it makes me feel' or 'I feel'. Grammar tip: use 'I'm chatting' for an action in progress; 'it makes me feel' is a common collocation.

× I prefer a face to face chatting instead of, uh, chatting over the social media because face to face chatting, you can see person sitting and then, uh, you can see their expressions or, uh, you can directly chat,

✓ I prefer face-to-face chatting instead of chatting over social media because in face-to-face conversations you can see the person sitting there and you can see their expressions and you can speak directly to them,

Several article errors: 'a face to face chatting' should be 'face-to-face chatting' without 'a'; 'the social media' should be 'social media' without 'the' in general. 'you can see person' needs 'the person' or 'a person'. Use 'conversations' or 'chatting' consistently. Grammar tip: omit 'the' before uncountable media terms in general (social media). Use 'the' with specific nouns ('the person'). Use hyphenated adjective 'face-to-face'.

× but then, uh, if it's on a social media, sometimes you don't know with whom you're chatting and uh, it's quite difficult.

✓ but then, if it's on social media, sometimes you don't know whom you're chatting with and it's quite difficult.

'on a social media' is incorrect; omit article. Also word order 'you don't know with whom you're chatting' is formal; more natural 'you don't know whom you're chatting with'. Grammar tip: place preposition at end in informal speech ('chatting with'). Do not use 'a' before 'social media'.

× I do not argue with friends often because it feels uh, it makes me very sad and my entire days goes in sadness.

✓ I do not argue with friends often because it makes me very sad and my entire day goes by in sadness.

'it feels uh, it makes me' is redundant; choose 'it makes me very sad'. 'my entire days goes' has plural/singular and agreement errors: use 'my entire day goes' or 'my days go'. Correct subject-verb agreement: 'day goes'. Grammar tip: match singular/plural nouns with verbs (day goes, days go). Avoid redundancy ('it makes me' is sufficient).

× Instead, what I prefer is to avoid conflicts, uh, do not get into argument, but if necessary I really jump into the fight, uh, if needed, but most of the time I avoid it.

✓ Instead, I prefer to avoid conflicts and not get into arguments, but if necessary I will stand up and fight; if needed, but most of the time I avoid it.

Multiple issues: 'do not get into argument' needs plural 'arguments' and correct infinitive/parallel structure. 'I really jump into the fight' is informal and tense/modal mismatch—use 'I will stand up and fight' or 'I will get involved if necessary'. This covers modal/future usage. Grammar tip: keep parallel structure ('avoid conflicts and not get into arguments'). Use 'will' for willingness to act in the future or conditional contexts.
