Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words and unnecessary articles, and add a short supporting detail. Keep it under five sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends, especially those I'm close to. I find conversations with close friends relaxing and easy because we understand each other well.

Suggestion: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and specific details. Remove hesitations and correct vocabulary (e.g., "weather" not "whether"). Use linking words to list topics.

Example: At the moment I usually chat with one close friend. We mainly talk about video games, and sometimes we discuss the weather or recent events in the world.

Suggestion: Make the sentence structure natural and use correct comparative phrasing. Give a brief reason with a linking word like "because" and avoid unnecessary words.

Example: I prefer chatting with just one friend because I feel more comfortable and relaxed than when I'm in a group.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear preference and give two contrasting supporting points using linking words (e.g., "because" / "however"). Fix grammar: "I prefer texting" or "I prefer to text"; "face-to-face" as adjective/phrase.

Example: I prefer texting because it makes me feel more comfortable. However, I also value face-to-face conversations since they help me understand the person's emotions better.

Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual actions and give a concise reason. Remove hesitations and avoid awkward phrasing like "didn't argue with my friend this".

Example: No, I usually don't argue with my friends because I respect them and try to keep our conversations polite and constructive.

× Yeah, I do like a chatting with a friend, especially the closer one.

✓ Yeah, I do like chatting with a friend, especially a closer one.

The phrase 'a chatting' incorrectly uses the article before a gerund; 'chatting' functions as a verb/noun without 'a'. Also 'the closer one' is wrong because 'closer' is comparative; use 'a closer one' to refer to a more close friend in general contexts. Remove the extra article before 'chatting' and change 'the' to 'a'. Suggestion: say 'I like chatting with a friend, especially a closer one.'

× In this moment, I, uh, have one friend and we shot, uh, uh, usually about, uh, video games and, uh, sometimes about whether and what happened in the world.

✓ At the moment I have one friend and we usually chat about video games and sometimes about what is happening in the world.

Use 'At the moment' instead of 'In this moment' for current time. 'Have' is fine. 'Shot' is incorrect word choice; the intended verb is 'chat' in present tense, so use 'usually chat'. 'Whether and what happened in the world' is ungrammatical; 'what is happening in the world' fits present-context discussions. Remove filler words and use present simple or present continuous ('is happening') for current events. Suggestion: 'At the moment I have one friend and we usually chat about video games and sometimes about what is happening in the world.'

× I prefer to chat with the only one friend because I feel comfortable and peaceful then a group of people.

✓ I prefer to chat with only one friend because I feel more comfortable and peaceful than in a group of people.

'The only one friend' is incorrect; 'only one friend' or 'just one friend' is natural. Comparative 'then' is incorrect; use 'than'. Add 'in' before 'a group' to show the comparison context. Also add 'more' to compare 'comfortable and peaceful'. Suggestion: 'I prefer to chat with only one friend because I feel more comfortable and peaceful than in a group of people.'

× I suppose is nice for me. I prefer to texting and uh, this is make me comfortable and I like uh, to talk, uh, face, uh, to face, to understand the person more.

✓ I suppose it is nice for me. I prefer texting because it makes me comfortable, but I also like to talk face to face to understand the person better.

Missing subject 'it' after 'I suppose'. 'Prefer to texting' mixes infinitive and gerund; use 'prefer texting' or 'prefer to text'. 'This is make me' incorrect verb form; use 'it makes me'. 'To talk, face to face' should be 'talk face to face'. Use 'better' instead of 'more' with 'understand' for clarity. Suggestion: 'I suppose it is nice for me. I prefer texting because it makes me comfortable, but I also like to talk face to face to understand the person better.'

× No, I didn't argue with my friend this, uh, because I, uh, respect them and I, uh, try to make, uh, our conversation more, uh, respectful.

✓ No, I didn't argue with my friend about this because I respect them and I try to keep our conversation respectful.

'Didn't argue with my friend this' is awkward; use 'about this' or 'over this'. After stating past action 'didn't argue', it is acceptable to use present 'respect' and 'try' if the speaker means habitual or current attitude; keep present tense for those verbs. 'Make our conversation more respectful' is wordy; 'keep our conversation respectful' is natural. Remove filler words. Suggestion: 'No, I didn't argue with my friend about this because I respect them and I try to keep our conversation respectful.'
