Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Start with a clear, direct response and avoid contradictory phrasing. Use a topic sentence that answers the question, then briefly explain why. Correct grammar (e.g., use “I don’t” not “No, I believe like”).

Example: I don’t chat very often. I prefer quiet time because I’m introverted and find long conversations tiring, so I usually keep talks short.

Suggestion: Answer directly and expand with one or two specific examples using linking words (e.g., “usually,” “for example,” “because”). Use correct tense and article: say “ask about homework” or “ask for homework help.”

Example: I don’t chat much; usually I ask about homework or class notes. For example, I might message a friend to clarify an assignment or share study tips.

Suggestion: Provide a clear preference (group or one-on-one) as a topic sentence and give a reason and brief example. Use natural linking words like “because” or “so.”

Example: I prefer chatting with just one friend, especially my best friend Suhana, because conversations are more relaxed and we can talk about personal things in depth.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly (face-to-face or social media) and give a reason. Use present tense for habitual actions and add a short supporting detail with linking words (e.g., “because,” “so”).

Example: I prefer communicating face-to-face because I can read body language and it feels more personal, although I use social media when meeting in person isn’t possible.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and expand with a reason or brief example. Avoid irrelevant self-descriptions; instead explain how you handle disagreements using linking words like “but” or “usually.”

Example: No, I usually don’t argue with friends because I try to stay calm and talk things through; if we disagree, we discuss it quietly until we reach an understanding.

× No, I believe like chatting.

✓ No, I don't really like chatting.

The student used 'believe like' which is incorrect. Use of adverb 'really' modifies 'like'. Also negative is required to match 'No' at start; use 'don't' for the negative present tense. Suggestion: use 'I don't really like chatting.' to convey dislike clearly.

× I only like fall.

✓ I only like talking briefly.

This sentence is unclear and likely a misuse of 'fall'. It doesn't fit the question about chatting. The student probably meant 'talk' or 'talking'. 'Only like fall' is incorrect structure. Suggest saying 'I only like talking briefly' or 'I only like talking a little.'

× I do not chat a lot, I only ask homework.

✓ I do not chat a lot; I only ask about homework.

The phrase 'ask homework' is incorrect; English uses 'ask about homework' or 'ask for help with homework'. Also two independent clauses should be separated by a semicolon or conjunction. Suggest: 'I do not chat a lot; I only ask about homework.'

× I like chatting my best friend Suhana.

✓ I like chatting with my best friend Suhana.

Verb 'like' requires the gerund phrase 'chatting with ...' not 'chatting my friend'. Missing preposition 'with' makes the sentence ungrammatical. Suggest using 'chatting with my best friend Suhana.'

× I talked on social media.

✓ I talk on social media.

The question asks about preference (present), so present tense 'talk' is appropriate. Using past tense 'talked' changes meaning. If the student means habitual action, use present simple: 'I talk on social media.'

× No, I am good girl. I do not argue.

✓ No, I'm a good girl. I do not argue.

Missing article 'a' before 'good girl' makes noun phrase incorrect. Also contracting 'I am' to 'I'm' is optional. Suggest: 'No, I'm a good girl. I do not argue.'
