Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and organized: start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting reasons using linking words. Avoid fillers and repetition. Also correct grammar (e.g., subject-verb agreement and sentence boundaries).

Example: Yes, I do. Chatting with friends helps me relax after a hectic day because I can speak honestly without being judged. For example, last week I vented about work and my friend gave practical advice that made me feel much better.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and expand with specific examples and linking words. Replace vague phrase "many more" with concrete topics. Reduce hesitations.

Example: We usually talk about our daily experiences. For instance, we discuss what we did that day, our plans for the weekend, and any challenges at work or school, which helps us stay connected.

Suggestion: Start directly with your preference, then give one clear reason and an example. Avoid awkward words like "groupism"; use natural expressions such as "large groups" or "group settings."

Example: I prefer talking one-on-one because conversations are more personal and focused. For example, when I talk to a single friend I can share details about my problems and get their full attention, which rarely happens in large groups.

Suggestion: Be concise and correct repetition/errors. Use linking words to compare both modes and give a clear reason why you prefer face-to-face. Provide one brief example of how face-to-face is better.

Example: I prefer face-to-face communication because it allows me to use facial expressions and tone to convey feelings. For example, when I discuss something important, seeing the other person's reaction helps avoid misunderstandings, unlike texting.

Suggestion: Clarify your point with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, and specific strategies you use to resolve disagreements. Avoid unclear fragments and provide one coherent example. Use linking words (for example, however).

Example: I usually avoid arguments and try to address issues calmly. For example, if a friend says something that upsets me, I first explain how I feel; if they don't understand or respect it, I may take some distance until things cool down.

× 'I like to chat with them as it makes me feel better, relaxed uh, from my hectic schedule.'

✓ 'I like chatting with them because it makes me feel better and more relaxed after my hectic schedule.'

'Like to chat' is acceptable but 'like chatting' is more natural when describing a habitual activity. 'Because' is a clearer conjunction than 'as' here. Use parallel adjectives 'better and more relaxed' and 'after' is the correct preposition for time reference. Suggestion: use present simple for habits and keep parallel structure.'

× 'It's fun talking to them without filters as they understand my feelings and I understand them it I feel they are someone who will never judge me and we can.'

✓ 'It's fun to talk to them without filters because they understand my feelings and I understand theirs; I feel they will never judge me and we can be ourselves.'

'Talking to them' can be 'to talk to them' for clarity. The original sentence is run-on and includes a stray 'it'. Use 'because' for cause, change 'I understand them' to 'I understand theirs' (correct pronoun usage), and finish the clause with 'we can be ourselves' to complete the idea. Use a semicolon or split into two sentences to avoid run-on.'

× 'We, we usually chat about our day, uh, what we had, how was their day and many more.'

✓ 'We usually chat about our day, what we did, how their day was, and many other things.'

'We usually chat' is present simple — keep it. 'What we had' is vague; 'what we did' is clearer. Use statement word order 'how their day was' not question order. Replace 'many more' with 'many other things' for proper noun phrase. Remove filler repetitions.'

× 'I prefer to chat with only one friend as I don't believe in groupism and I feel that being with 1 is better than being with lot of people and they will never understand.'

✓ 'I prefer to chat with only one friend because I don't believe in groupism, and I feel that being with one person is better than being with a lot of people because they often don't understand.'

'1' should be written as 'one' and 'being with lot of people' needs the article 'a lot of people'. Also clarify pronoun reference: 'they will never understand' is vague; 'they often don't understand' is more natural. Use 'because' for reason.'

× 'I'd prefer a face or two face conversation as it would be a bit more express, a bit more full of expressions.'

✓ 'I'd prefer a face-to-face conversation because it would be a bit more expressive and full of expressions.'

Use the fixed expression 'face-to-face conversation'. 'More express' is incorrect; use the adjective 'expressive'. 'Because' is clearer than 'as' in spoken answers. Keep conditional/modal 'would' consistent.'

× 'I can express my express my feelings and they would understand how I feel as social media makes distance between people and I'm not comfortable in expressing things into social media.'

✓ 'I can express my feelings and they would understand how I feel, because social media creates distance between people and I'm not comfortable expressing things on social media.'

Remove repeated fragment 'express my'. Use 'creates' (present simple) instead of 'makes distance' for natural phrasing. Use the gerund 'expressing' after 'comfortable' and the preposition 'on social media' not 'into social media'. Keep tenses consistent.'

× 'Usually I prefer not to argue with them if something is.'

✓ 'Usually I prefer not to argue with them if something happens.'

'If something is' is incomplete. Use 'if something happens' to complete the conditional idea. Maintain present simple for habitual preference.'

× 'If some if I don't feel this is hurting me, I'll just say them.'

✓ 'If I don't feel it is hurting me, I'll just tell them.'

Remove repeated 'if'. Use 'it' to refer to the situation, not 'this' with awkward placement. The verb 'tell' is appropriate with object 'them' rather than 'say them', which is incorrect.'

× 'If they're not understand that, I'll just stop talking to them rather than fighting.'

✓ 'If they don't understand that, I'll just stop talking to them rather than fight.'

Use correct auxiliary 'do' for present simple negative 'don't understand' instead of 'are not understand'. The verb after 'rather than' can be base form 'fight' to match 'stop talking'. Maintain tense consistency.'

× 'I prefer fees.'

✓ 'I prefer peace.'

'Fees' is a wrong word here (noun meaning charges). Context indicates the student meant 'peace'. Replace with the correct noun 'peace' to convey preference for avoiding conflict.'
