Part 1
考官
Do you like chatting with friends?
考生
Not really, I usually stay alone because I like the tranquility when I'm staying myself and when I'm staying with my friend I rarely talk with them because I don't really enjoy expressing my feelings to them. And yes.
考官
What do you usually chat about with friends?
考生
We usually chat about our daily life and about the academic stuff since we're still students and usually my friends are staying at the same school with me or like the same grade, so we usually talk about different subjects or different grades and yeah.
考官
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?
考生
I prefer chatting with only one friend rather than a group of people because I think it's quite difficult to express my feeling to a group of people and it is hard to understand their feeling or their understanding and so I prefer one.
考官
Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face or via social media?
考生
I'll prefer a face to face communication because I think in social media you can't really notice the expression of the others and by face to face communication you can really train your interpersonal skills, but not only typing words and sentences using a keyboard when you're chatting online.
考官
Do you argue with friends?
考生
Yeah, sometimes, umm, when we have different ideas or different umm, opinions, we often have a small argument with each other. But after a few days, we'll, we'll be back and our relationship will recover immediately for a few days.

× I usually stay alone because I like the tranquility when I'm staying myself and when I'm staying with my friend I rarely talk with them because I don't really enjoy expressing my feelings to them.
✓ I usually stay alone because I like the tranquility when I'm by myself, and when I'm with my friends I rarely talk to them because I don't really enjoy expressing my feelings to others.
Replace incorrect present participle phrases and reflexive usage: 'staying myself' is not correct; use 'by myself' or 'on my own'. 'Staying with my friend' should be 'with my friends'. Also use 'talk to them' not 'talk with them' here for natural collocation, and 'others' or 'them' to avoid repetition. Improve parallel structure by adding conjunction and punctuation.
× We usually chat about our daily life and about the academic stuff since we're still students and usually my friends are staying at the same school with me or like the same grade, so we usually talk about different subjects or different grades and yeah.
✓ We usually chat about our daily lives and academic stuff since we're still students, and my friends usually attend the same school as me or are in the same grade, so we often talk about different subjects or classes.
Use correct plural 'daily lives' and avoid unnecessary prepositions: 'staying at the same school with me' is awkward; use 'attend the same school as me'. 'Like the same grade' should be 'are in the same grade'. Replace 'different grades' with 'different subjects or classes' for clarity. Remove filler 'and yeah'.
× I prefer chatting with only one friend rather than a group of people because I think it's quite difficult to express my feeling to a group of people and it is hard to understand their feeling or their understanding and so I prefer one.
✓ I prefer chatting with just one friend rather than a group because I find it difficult to express my feelings to a group and hard to understand their perspective, so I prefer one-on-one conversations.
Use plural forms 'feelings' and clearer nouns 'perspective' or 'point of view' instead of repeating 'feeling' and 'understanding'. 'Only one friend' is better as 'just one friend'; 'prefer one' is vague—use 'prefer one-on-one conversations'. Adjust pronoun use and noun forms for agreement and clarity.
× I'll prefer a face to face communication because I think in social media you can't really notice the expression of the others and by face to face communication you can really train your interpersonal skills, but not only typing words and sentences using a keyboard when you're chatting online.
✓ I prefer face-to-face communication because on social media you can't really notice others' expressions, and face-to-face interaction helps develop interpersonal skills rather than just typing words on a keyboard when chatting online.
'I'll prefer' is incorrect use of future modal; simply use present 'I prefer' for general preference. Use possessive 'others' expressions' and hyphenate 'face-to-face'. Replace 'by face to face communication you can really train' with 'face-to-face interaction helps develop' for natural phrasing. Remove redundant phrasing.
× Yeah, sometimes, umm, when we have different ideas or different umm, opinions, we often have a small argument with each other. But after a few days, we'll, we'll be back and our relationship will recover immediately for a few days.
✓ Yeah, sometimes when we have different ideas or opinions, we often have a small argument. But after a few days we get back to normal and our relationship recovers.
Remove fillers and fix tense consistency: 'we'll, we'll be back' uses future unnecessarily; use present 'we get back to normal' for habitual occurrences. 'Will recover immediately for a few days' is awkward; use 'recovers' or 'returns to normal' to indicate the usual, immediate recovery. Maintain simple present for recurring events.
