Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (use plural where needed), avoid redundancy and keep within 3–4 concise sentences. Add one specific example to make your answer more vivid. Use linking words like “for example” or “especially” correctly.

Example: Yes, I love chatting with my friends and we talk almost every day. We discuss a wide range of things, for example our hobbies, travel plans and where to meet next. It really helps me cope with stress, especially when I’m going through a difficult time.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, avoid repetition and fix grammar (plural/singular, tense). Provide specific examples and use linking words (e.g., “sometimes,” “often,” “for instance”) to structure the details. Keep it to 2–4 coherent sentences.

Example: We talk about a variety of subjects. Sometimes we discuss politics or current events, and other times we talk about hobbies like cooking or hiking; for instance, last week we planned a hiking trip together.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear statement of preference, correct minor grammar and hesitations, and give a concise reason with one supporting detail. Use linking words like “because” and “so” to show cause and effect.

Example: I prefer chatting one-on-one because large groups make me nervous. As a result, I find it hard to express my ideas clearly, so I feel more comfortable and confident in private conversations.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly, correct subject-verb agreement and word choice, and give one concise specific reason with an example. Use linking words like “because” and “therefore” for coherence.

Example: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can read facial expressions and gestures, which helps you respond appropriately. For example, when a friend looks upset you can offer immediate comfort, which is harder over social media.

Suggestion: Answer directly, fix grammar and awkward phrasing, avoid vague statements and give a specific brief example of a typical disagreement and how you resolve it. Use linking words such as “however” and “afterwards.”

Example: Yes, I sometimes argue with friends, which is normal in any relationship. For example, we once disagreed about plans for a trip, but we talked it through afterwards and quickly resolved it, so our friendship remained strong.

× I adore chatting with my friend, we chat almost every day.

✓ I adore chatting with my friends; we chat almost every day.

The speaker refers to chatting with more than one friend (general habit), so the plural pronoun/noun 'friends' is appropriate. Also the original sentence is a comma splice; use a semicolon or make two sentences. Suggestion: use 'friends' for general habit and join independent clauses correctly.

× Our topic is usually very diverse, something like hobby, something about our next meeting or traveling together.

✓ Our topics are usually very diverse, such as hobbies, our next meeting, or traveling together.

Use plural 'topics' to match multiple examples. 'Something like' is informal and awkward; 'such as' introduces examples. Use plural 'hobbies' to match general activities. Also list items in parallel form for clarity.

× I think it's really benefit me, especially when in a hard time.

✓ I think it really benefits me, especially during hard times.

Use third-person singular verb 'benefits' to agree with 'it' (subject). 'When in a hard time' is unidiomatic; use 'during hard times' or 'when I'm going through a hard time'. Suggest using correct verb form and natural time expression.

× Our topic of conversation is really diverse.

✓ Our topics of conversation are really diverse.

If referring to multiple conversations, use plural 'topics' and plural verb 'are'. This matches meaning and number agreement.

× Sometimes we talk about politics, sometimes we talk about hobby.

✓ Sometimes we talk about politics; sometimes we talk about hobbies.

Use plural 'hobbies' when speaking generally. Also avoid repeating 'we talk about' by using a semicolon or rephrasing for flow.

× The other time we talk about upcoming meeting that we plans.

✓ Another time we talk about an upcoming meeting that we plan.

'The other time' is awkward; use 'another time'. 'Meeting' needs an article 'an'. 'We plans' is incorrect subject-verb agreement; use 'we plan'. Also keep relative clause concise.

× It was oh, it was always interesting.

✓ Oh, it was always interesting.

Remove the redundant 'it was' to avoid awkward repetition. Start with interjection 'Oh,' followed by the clause. This corrects sentence structure and improves fluency.

× Sometimes we just chat about.

✓ Sometimes we just chat about nothing in particular.

The verb 'chat about' requires an object or phrase to complete its meaning. 'Chat about' alone is incomplete. Provide an object or say 'about nothing in particular' to complete the sentence.

× I prefer the chat with only one friend because group of people make me nervous.

✓ I prefer chatting with only one friend because groups of people make me nervous.

Use 'chatting' (gerund) or 'to chat' instead of 'the chat'. 'Group of people' should be pluralized to 'groups of people' or 'a group of people' with article. Also subject-verb agreement: 'groups... make'. Here plural 'groups' fits general preference.

× Like I can't uh speak clearly about my idea after them because I'm afraid of their judgement, but I feel safer in one-on-one conversation.

✓ I can't speak clearly after them because I'm afraid of their judgment, but I feel safer in one-on-one conversations.

Remove filler 'uh'. 'Speak clearly about my idea after them' is awkward; 'speak clearly after them' conveys speaking after others. Use 'judgment' spelling (US) or 'judgement' (UK) consistently. 'One-on-one conversation' should be plural or preceded by an article: 'in one-on-one conversations' or 'in a one-on-one conversation.'

× I prefer to communicate face to face because communicating face to face with people make you understand the emotion, the gesture, so you can respond accordingly.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because communicating face to face with people makes you understand their emotions and gestures, so you can respond accordingly.

Subject 'communicating face to face with people' is singular noun phrase and requires verb 'makes' (third person singular). Use plural 'emotions and gestures' and possessive 'their' to refer to people. This corrects subject-verb agreement and improves clarity.

× With social media, not so much. You don't know their face, how they feel, it's just their facts alone.

✓ With social media, not so much. You don't see their faces or know how they feel; it's just their words or facts alone.

'Know their face' is incorrect; use 'see their faces'. Also separate clauses properly with a semicolon or period. 'Their facts alone' is unclear; 'their words' or 'text alone' is more natural. Improve parallelism: 'see... or know...'.

× It is impossible not to argue with friend.

✓ It is impossible not to argue with friends.

Use plural 'friends' or include an article 'a friend' to make the noun grammatically correct. 'With friend' is ungrammatical in English without an article.

× I think once in your life you have a conflict, but a conflict doesn't matter as long as you can come back strongly than before.

✓ I think at least once in your life you will have a conflict, but a conflict doesn't matter as long as you can come back stronger than before.

'Once in your life you have' is awkward; 'at least once... you will have' fits natural tense. 'Come back strongly than before' is incorrect use of adverb; use comparative adjective 'stronger than before'. This fixes tense and adjective/adverb usage.

× I have. I often argue with my friend but it was simple thing and the next thing we just forget about it.

✓ I have. I often argue with my friends, but it was a simple thing and afterwards we just forgot about it.

Maintain consistent tense: 'I often argue' (present) then refer to past event with 'it was' and use past 'forgot'. Also pluralize 'friends' for generality. Add article 'a simple thing' and use 'afterwards' for sequence. Ensure verb tenses match timeline.
