Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Speak more fluently and correct basic grammar (e.g., 'like chatting' not 'like to chatting'). Give a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition and hesitations. Practice reducing filler words and self-corrections.

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends. We usually reminisce about old memories and make concrete travel plans, such as choosing destinations and dates for a weekend trip.

Suggestion: Structure your response with a clear topic sentence and specific examples. Use linking words (for example, additionally) to make it coherent. Avoid vague phrases like 'something' and unnecessary repetition.

Example: We usually talk about daily life and recent activities. For example, we discuss what we did during the week and plan for upcoming events, such as organizing a surprise birthday party for a friend.

Suggestion: Avoid hesitation and incomplete sentences. Begin with a clear statement of preference, then give two concise, specific reasons using linking words (for example, because, also). Remove fillers and correct grammar (e.g., 'I just have to write once').

Example: I prefer chatting in a group because we can discuss ideas collectively and make plans faster. Also, it's convenient when I need to share news since I only have to send one message for everyone to see.

Suggestion: Good clear preference and reason. Improve fluency by removing fillers (uh) and tighten sentences. Add a specific example to strengthen the answer (which app or a situation).

Example: I prefer communicating via social media because we're often busy and it's hard to arrange meetings. For example, we use WhatsApp to quickly share updates and make decisions about weekend plans.

Suggestion: Be more concise and specific. Start with a direct answer, then give a concrete example of a typical disagreement and how you resolve it. Avoid repetitive phrases like 'some arguments about some opinions'.

Example: Yes, sometimes we argue when our opinions differ, for instance about which restaurant to choose. We usually resolve it by discussing pros and cons and compromising, such as taking turns choosing places.

× I like to chatting with my friends when I when I have free time and I like to chat about our old memories and also planning something new for traveling.

✓ I like chatting with my friends when I have free time, and I like to chat about our old memories and also plan something new for traveling.

The verb 'like' can be followed by the gerund without 'to' (like chatting) or by 'to' + base verb (like to chat). 'To chatting' is incorrect. Also 'planning' should match the structure 'like to plan' or 'and also plan' to be parallel. Remove the repeated 'when I'. Make the verbs parallel: 'I like chatting... and I like to chat... and also plan'. Suggestion: Use either 'like + -ing' or 'like to + base verb' consistently and keep parallel structures.

× Usually we chat about our daily life, what we did in a week or what is our next plan to do if there is something.

✓ Usually we chat about our daily lives, what we did during the week, or what our next plan is if there is anything.

'Daily life' is better as 'daily lives' when referring to multiple people. 'What we did in a week' should be 'during the week' for natural present-habit context. Word order 'what is our next plan' should be 'what our next plan is'. 'If there is something' is vague; use 'if there is anything'. Suggestion: Use natural time expressions and correct word order for indirect questions.

× If there are some occasions or something or someone's special day, we plan to do something on that special occasions.

✓ If there are some occasions or someone's special day, we plan to do something on those special occasions.

Mismatch between singular/plural: 'that special occasions' is incorrect because 'that' (singular demonstrative) does not match plural 'occasions'. Use 'those' for plural. Also 'or something' is vague; remove or replace with clearer phrase. Ensure demonstrative and noun number agree. Suggestion: Match demonstratives to noun number ('this/that' for singular, 'these/those' for plural).

× Yes, definitely. I prefer to chat with a group of people rather than one, because in a group we can discuss a lot of things together or, or if I want to provide any news or information, I I just have to write one time.

✓ Yes, definitely. I prefer to chat with a group of people rather than with just one person, because in a group we can discuss many things together, and if I want to share news or information, I only have to write once.

Pronoun/reference errors: 'rather than one' is unclear — use 'rather than with just one person'. 'Provide any news' is unnatural; use 'share news'. 'I I' is a typing repetition; remove duplicate. 'Write one time' should be 'write once'. Suggestion: Use clear noun phrases and avoid repeated words; use 'once' for single occurrence.

× Or if I if I tell in the group, if everyone will know. But uh, sometimes it I.

✓ If I tell the group, everyone will know, but sometimes it doesn't work.

Original has repetitions and incomplete clauses ('if I if I tell', 'sometimes it I'). This is a sentence structure problem: fragments and unclear reference. Provide a complete clause: 'If I tell the group, everyone will know' and finish the contrast 'but sometimes it doesn't work' to express the intended meaning. Suggestion: Avoid repetitions and ensure each clause is complete with a subject and verb.

× I prefer, uh, social media because nowadays, uh, we all are very busy, so it is very difficult to find out the time for meeting and then talk face to face.

✓ I prefer social media because nowadays we are all very busy, so it is very difficult to find time to meet and talk face to face.

'We all are' is grammatical but more natural as 'we are all'. 'Find out the time for meeting' is awkward; use 'find time to meet'. 'Then talk face to face' is redundant; combine as 'meet and talk face to face'. Remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: Use natural word order ('we are all') and common collocations ('find time to meet').

× Usually we chat about our daily life, what we did in a week or what is our next plan to do if there is something.

✓ Usually we chat about our daily lives, what we did during the week, or what our next plan is if there is anything.

Referencing multiple people requires plural 'daily lives' rather than singular 'daily life'. See earlier suggestion for tense and word order improvements. Suggestion: Use plural forms when the subject includes multiple people.

× So I find that social media is more convenient for, for our communication.

✓ So I find that social media is more convenient for our communication.

Repeated preposition 'for, for' is an error; remove the duplicate. Also 'for our communication' is acceptable; 'for communicating' would also work. Suggestion: Avoid duplicated words and choose natural prepositional phrases.

× Yes, sometimes there are some arguments about some opinions that we all are individual persons and we all have our individual concern and individual mentality to accept something.

✓ Yes, sometimes there are arguments about opinions because we are all individuals and have our own concerns and ways of thinking about things.

Article and noun usage: 'some arguments' is okay but 'some opinions' is redundant; 'we all are individual persons' is awkward — use 'we are all individuals'. 'Individual concern' should be 'our own concerns'; 'individual mentality' is unnatural — 'ways of thinking' fits better. The corrected sentence improves article use and word choice. Suggestion: Use natural nouns ('individuals', 'concerns') and 'own' to show possession rather than repeating 'individual'.
