Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Reduce hesitation and repetition, and make the response more concise and structured. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with brief examples. Avoid filler words like “uh” and unnecessary repetition (e.g., “people's lives or other fellow friends lives”).

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends, especially on Instagram. For example, we use direct messages to share photos and discuss daily events, which helps us stay connected even when we are busy.

Suggestion: Be more specific and organized: state the main topics first, then give concrete examples. Avoid vague phrases like “some common information” and reduce repetition (e.g., “maybe sometimes”). Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, “also” or “for instance”).

Example: We usually talk about three main things: plans, entertainment news, and jokes. For instance, we arrange meetups, comment on celebrities’ outfits from recent articles, and share funny memes to lift each other’s mood.

Suggestion: Remove hesitations and tighten the response. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give two concise reasons with an example. Replace informal fillers and incorrect phrase “on the tables” with “to the table.”

Example: I prefer chatting in groups because, firstly, different people bring diverse perspectives, and secondly, group chats often spark new ideas. For example, when planning a trip, everyone suggests different activities that improve our itinerary.

Suggestion: Make the answer more concise and correct minor errors (e.g., “face-to-face” as adjective). State preference, give two clear reasons, and include a brief example. Avoid redundant phrasing like “what kind of feeling and what kind of energy.”

Example: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can read body language and facial expressions, which helps avoid misunderstandings. For example, during a serious talk with a friend, I can tell if they are upset even if they say they’re fine.

Suggestion: Clarify and correct grammar, remove hesitations, and use specific wording. Start with a clear statement, explain exceptions (friendly debates), and give a brief reason or example. Avoid unclear phrases like “I'm no one to bound it.”

Example: I rarely argue with friends; we sometimes have friendly debates about opinions, but we don’t take them personally. For instance, we might disagree about a movie’s quality and then laugh about our different tastes afterwards.

× It helps us uh, keep connected and stay updated on uh, people's lives or other fellow friends lives and also helps us gain information regarding what's currently going on in the world.

✓ It helps us keep connected and stay updated on people's lives or our friends' lives, and it also helps us gain information about what is currently going on in the world.

The sentence misuses possessive form and contains redundancy and awkward phrasing. 'Other fellow friends lives' is incorrect; use 'our friends' lives' and place the apostrophe correctly after friends. 'Regarding' is formal and can be replaced with 'about' for clarity. Also add 'it' before 'also helps' for parallel structure.

× They usually chat about some common information if somebody is lagging behind within our group of friends and maybe sometimes we discuss the news articles regarding fashion of what a celebrity is wearing.

✓ We usually chat about basic updates if somebody is falling behind in our group of friends, and sometimes we discuss news articles about fashion and what a celebrity is wearing.

Sentence used 'They' though speaker refers to their group; 'We' is appropriate. 'Lagging behind within' is awkward; use 'falling behind in'. 'Regarding fashion of what a celebrity is wearing' is wordy; use 'about fashion and what a celebrity is wearing'.

× Maybe sometimes we do share funny memes and just create a very light and escaping environment.

✓ Sometimes we share funny memes to create a light, escapist atmosphere.

Original has redundant adverbs and incorrect adjective 'escaping' (should be 'escapist' or 'escape') and awkward word order. Condense and use adjective 'escapist' to describe atmosphere.

× Uh, since I'm an extrovert person, I usually prefer, uh, chatting in a group setting rather than one-on-one conversations because I feel the different types of people, uh, bring different perspectives on the tables, share new ideas, umm, and uh, just in general, it keeps, uh, you aware of the various perspectives in your life.

✓ Since I'm an extrovert, I usually prefer chatting in a group setting rather than one-on-one conversations because different people bring different perspectives, share new ideas, and generally keep you aware of various viewpoints in your life.

'Extrovert person' is redundant; use 'extrovert'. 'Bring different perspectives on the tables' is ungrammatical; correct phrase is 'bring different perspectives' or 'to the table'. Remove filler words and simplify for clarity; change 'the various perspectives in your life' to 'various viewpoints in your life'.

× I feel I'm more of a face to face conversation type of person rather than social media because when you talk some with somebody in person, you tend to understand their body language or maybe see their facial expressions so that you know what kind of feeling and what kind of energy they are having within themselves while taking on the conversation.

✓ I feel I'm more of a face-to-face conversation person than someone who uses social media, because when you talk with someone in person you can understand their body language and see their facial expressions, so you know how they are feeling and what kind of energy they have during the conversation.

Use hyphens in 'face-to-face'. Replace 'rather than social media' with 'than someone who uses social media' for parallelism. 'Talk some with somebody' is incorrect; use 'talk with someone'. 'What kind of feeling and what kind of energy they are having within themselves while taking on the conversation' is wordy and ungrammatical; simplify to 'how they are feeling and what kind of energy they have during the conversation'.

× I generally do not argue with my friends, but yes, if it includes, uh, some sort of friendly debates, uh, under something, but none of us still takes that way personally.

✓ I generally do not argue with my friends, but if it includes friendly debates about something, none of us takes it personally.

'Includes ... under something' is incorrect and awkward; use 'debates about something'. 'None of us still takes that way personally' is ungrammatical; correct to 'none of us takes it personally'. Remove fillers and ensure subject-verb agreement.

× Uh, but uh, usually I do not argue because I feel everybody ha have their own personal life and everybody has their own views regarding something, so I'm no one to bound it.

✓ Usually I do not argue because I feel everybody has their own personal life and views, so I'm not the one to judge them.

'Everybody ha have' is an error; should be 'everybody has'. 'I'm no one to bound it' is incorrect and unclear; likely intended 'I'm not the one to judge it/them'—use 'judge them'. Simplify repetition 'everybody has their own personal life and everybody has their own views' to 'everybody has their own personal life and views'.
