Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar (word order and unnecessary words) and reduce filler phrases like "etcetera."

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends. Usually we catch up about our lives and share news about family or mutual friends, which helps us stay connected. Sometimes we gossip a little, which makes us relax and feel closer.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: give a main topic sentence, then list specific examples with linking words. Fix grammar (plural/singular, verb forms) and avoid repeating the same idea twice.

Example: I usually talk about everyday life, such as work, studies, and recent events, because these topics keep the conversation flowing. We also discuss holiday plans and weekend ideas, and sometimes friends suggest places to visit.

Suggestion: Avoid unclear idioms and incorrect phrases. Begin with a direct statement of preference, then give clear reasons with specific details. Correct vocabulary (e.g., "not an outgoing person") and grammar (sentence structure) for clarity.

Example: I prefer one-on-one conversations because I am not an outgoing person. Group chats exhaust me since it's hard to follow everyone's opinions, while talking to a single friend lets me engage more deeply and understand them better.

Suggestion: Make a clear comparison and explain reasons using linking words. Correct contradictions and grammar (word order, repetition). Use precise vocabulary like "body language" and "misleading."

Example: I prefer face-to-face communication because it's easier to read body language and lead the conversation smoothly. Online messages can be unclear or misleading, so in-person talks feel more natural and effective.

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give specific reasons and outcomes. Fix grammar (relative clauses, prepositions) and avoid repetition. Explain how arguments are resolved to show maturity.

Example: Yes, I sometimes argue with friends in my group. Usually we debate our goals or directions, but we talk it through and reach a compromise so that our friendships remain strong.

× We also always usually we usually catch up about what is happening in our lives and what, share news about our family or mutual friends etcetera.

✓ We usually catch up about what is happening in our lives and share news about our family or mutual friends.

The sentence contains redundant adverbs 'always usually' and repeated phrase 'we usually'; remove redundancy and correct word order. Use a single adverb 'usually' before the verb phrase. Also remove the extra 'what,' and streamline the clause to 'share news about...'. Suggested improvement: avoid using two frequency adverbs together and place the adverb before the main verb or verb phrase.

× Sometimes we also gossip a little which helps us relax and feel closer to each other.

✓ Sometimes we also gossip a little, which helps us relax and feel closer to each other.

This sentence needs a comma before the nonrestrictive relative clause 'which helps...'. Add the comma to separate the main clause from the explanatory clause. Also the rest is grammatically fine. Suggested improvement: use punctuation to mark nonrestrictive clauses.

× I usually chat with friends about everyday life such as work or homework and studies and recent events because these topics are easy to keep the conversation flowing.

✓ I usually chat with friends about everyday life, such as work, homework and studies, and recent events because these topics make it easy to keep the conversation flowing.

The phrase 'easy to keep the conversation flowing' needs a subject; changing to 'make it easy to...' clarifies the structure. Also add commas to separate items in a list. Ensure parallel nouns without 'or' between similar items. Suggested improvement: keep list items parallel and include a verb to complete the idea.

× We also talk about holiday, our holidays or plans for next weekends and they gives me suggestions to where suggest where to go or.

✓ We also talk about holidays or plans for the next weekend, and they give me suggestions about where to go.

Use plural 'holidays' or 'a holiday' correctly (article error). 'Next weekends' is incorrect; use 'the next weekend' or 'next weekend'. 'They gives' violates subject-verb agreement and should be 'they give'. Simplify 'suggestions to where suggest where to go' to 'suggestions about where to go'. Suggested improvement: ensure correct articles (a/the) and correct subject-verb agreement.

× Since I'm not really extra white person, I prefer one-on-one conversation.

✓ Since I'm not an extroverted person, I prefer one-on-one conversations.

The phrase 'extra white person' is incorrect and likely intended to be 'extroverted person' (wrong word choice). Use the article 'an' before a vowel sound and pluralize 'conversations' for general preference. Suggested improvement: choose correct adjectives and use appropriate articles and pluralization.

× Group chats exhaust me because it's hard to follow everyone's opinion.

✓ Group chats exhaust me because it's hard to follow everyone's opinions.

Use the plural 'opinions' because 'everyone' has multiple opinions; this matches meaning. The rest is correct. Suggested improvement: ensure noun number matches meaning (singular/plural concepts).

× Once we're talking to a single friend, let me know about their image, information or having conversation.

✓ When I'm talking to a single friend, I can learn about their background, opinions, or have a deeper conversation.

Original sentence is ungrammatical and awkward. 'Once we're talking to a single friend, let me know' is incorrect speech perspective. Change to 'When I'm talking...' and clarify intended ideas: 'learn about their background or opinions' and 'have a deeper conversation'. Use parallel structure. Suggested improvement: use a clear subject, consistent tense, and parallel list items.

× It helps me having conversation well with.

✓ It helps me have a better conversation.

After 'helps', use the base form 'have' (helps + to/verb). 'Having conversation well with' is ungrammatical and incomplete. Rephrase to 'have a better conversation' to convey meaning and correct word order. Suggested improvement: use 'helps me + base verb' and complete the object.

× I prefer to communicate face to face through I'm talking on social media because it's easier to lead someone smooth or body languages in person.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face rather than through social media because it's easier to read body language and lead the conversation smoothly in person.

Original mixes phrases incorrectly ('through I'm talking on social media'). Use 'rather than through social media'. 'Lead someone smooth' is incorrect; use 'lead the conversation smoothly' and 'read body language'. Correct verb forms and adverb placement. Suggested improvement: compare options clearly with 'rather than', use correct verb forms, and place adverbs after verbs or before adjectives.

× Online messages can be can contribute and clear or misleading misleading.

✓ Online messages can be unclear or misleading.

Sentence contains repetition 'can be can' and repeated 'misleading'. Simplify to 'can be unclear or misleading'. Use correct adjectives to describe messages. Suggested improvement: avoid repetition and choose concise adjective pairs.

× So I found it it's more natural and effective.

✓ So I find that it's more natural and effective.

Mixes past 'found' with present evaluation; use present 'find' to express a general preference. Also remove redundant 'it'. Use 'find that it's...' for clarity. Suggested improvement: maintain consistent tense when stating general opinions.

× Yes, I sometimes argue with my friend which is belonging to same crowd.

✓ Yes, I sometimes argue with a friend who belongs to the same crowd.

Use 'a friend' (article) and correct relative clause 'who belongs to the same crowd' rather than 'which is belonging to same crowd'. 'Who' refers to people; use simple present 'belongs'. Also add 'the' before 'same crowd'. Suggested improvement: use correct relative pronoun 'who', proper articles, and simple present for habitual facts.

× We usually discuss about our direction for our goals and we usually reconcile each other to make a compromise.

✓ We usually discuss our direction and our goals, and we usually reconcile with each other to reach a compromise.

Do not use 'discuss about'; the correct verb is 'discuss' without 'about'. 'Reconcile each other' is incorrect; use 'reconcile with each other' or 'make up'. Use 'reach a compromise' instead of 'make a compromise'. Maintain parallel structure and remove repetition of 'we usually'. Suggested improvement: learn verbs that do not take 'about' and use correct prepositions after verbs.
