Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Reduce hesitation and repetition, use a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting details. Correct basic grammar (e.g., "it feels really relaxed when I talk to my friends" and "they are really supportive"). Keep answer to no more than 3–4 sentences and avoid filler sounds like "uh".

Example: Yes, I do. I enjoy chatting with my friends because talking to them helps me relax and lift my mood. For example, when I have a stressful day, a short conversation with a close friend makes me feel supported and calm.

Suggestion: Be more concise and specific. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two concrete examples and use linking words (e.g., "for example", "and then"). Fix grammar: "we send each other videos on social media, mostly funny clips or food videos."

Example: Mostly we talk about things we find online. For example, we often share funny short videos or clips of interesting food recipes on social media and then discuss them together.

Suggestion: Give a clear direct answer first ("I prefer one-on-one chats") and then add a brief reason with an example. Avoid long hesitant phrasing and correct grammar: "It depends on the people in the group" and "I prefer one friend I get along with."

Example: I prefer chatting with one friend rather than a group. It depends on who’s in the group — if I don’t get on with some members, the conversation is uncomfortable, so I usually choose a one-on-one chat with someone I trust.

Suggestion: State a clear preference or say you have no strong preference, then explain with two brief reasons and a linking word (e.g., "however"). Avoid contradictions and unclear final sentence; correct grammar: "Both have advantages" and "I can communicate in both ways."

Example: I don't have a strong preference because both methods work well for me. Face-to-face conversations are better for emotional topics, however social media is more convenient for quick updates and staying in touch across distances.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use correct grammar: "No, we usually don't argue." Then explain briefly how you handle disagreements, using linking words like "but" or "however". Be specific about an example of a normal discussion to show maturity.

Example: No, we usually don't argue. When we have different opinions, we discuss them calmly and try to understand each other's point of view; for example, if we disagree about where to eat, we talk it over and choose a compromise.

× Yes, absolutely. I I like chatting with my friends because uh it's feels uh really relaxed when I talked and chatting my friends, they are really support me and it feels really nice.

✓ Yes, absolutely. I like chatting with my friends because it feels really relaxing when I talk and chat with my friends; they are really supportive and it feels really nice.

Errors: incorrect verb forms and tense consistency. 'it's feels' is wrong: use 'it feels'. 'when I talked' should be present tense 'when I talk' to match habitual action. 'chatting my friends' needs preposition 'with' and parallel structure 'talk and chat'. 'they are really support me' needs adjective 'supportive' or 'they really support me'. Also use 'relaxing' rather than 'relaxed' to describe the activity. Suggestion: keep present simple for habits, use correct verb forms and prepositions, and maintain parallel structure.

× Umm, mostly we, we send each others, uh, social in social media, uh, we are sending each others some videos, uh, funny videos or uh, food videos.

✓ Umm, mostly we send each other posts on social media; we send each other videos, like funny videos or food videos.

Errors: 'each others' is incorrect plural possessive; correct form is 'each other'. 'social in social media' is awkward; use 'posts on social media'. Remove unnecessary progressive form 'are sending' for habitual actions; use present simple 'send'. Suggestion: use 'each other' for reciprocal actions and use clear nouns for items shared.

× We send each other like this and talk about this video mostly.

✓ We send each other videos like this and mostly talk about them.

Errors: pronoun/reference and word order. 'like this' is vague; better 'videos like this'. Use plural pronoun 'them' to refer to 'videos'. Place 'mostly' before the verb phrase for natural order. Suggestion: ensure noun and pronoun agree in number and position adverbs appropriately.

× It's depends on the group, I think, because if the, if there is a, uh, for example, five person and I, I don't like 2 of them, then it's not good.

✓ It depends on the group, I think, because, for example, if there are five people and I don't like two of them, then it's not good.

Errors: 'It's depends' should be 'It depends' (remove contraction misuse), 'if there is a five person' wrong number and article; use plural 'people' and plural verb 'are'. Use numerals as words in speech; keep consistent verb number. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement and correct noun forms for counts.

× But uh, I prefer that one person I most like, so I prefer the one friend.

✓ But I prefer one person whom I like most, so I prefer a single friend.

Errors: awkward phrasing and article use. 'that one person I most like' needs a relative pronoun 'whom' or rephrase; 'the one friend' ambiguous—use 'a single friend'. Suggestion: use clear relative clauses and appropriate articles.

× It doesn't matter for me actually, uh, both, both of them OK for me, umm, face to face has advantages.

✓ It doesn't matter to me actually; both are OK for me. Face-to-face communication has advantages.

Errors: preposition use 'for me'→'to me' with 'it doesn't matter', repetition and missing verb 'are' for 'both are OK', and hyphenate 'face-to-face' when used as adjective. Suggestion: use fixed expressions ('it doesn't matter to me') and include linking verbs.

× Also social media chats has advantages.

✓ Also, social media chats have advantages.

Errors: subject-verb agreement; 'chats' is plural so use 'have' not 'has'. Suggestion: match verb number to subject.

× But as I said, it doesn't matter for me. I can't speak and chat uh, of two way.

✓ But as I said, it doesn't matter to me. I can speak and chat in both ways.

Errors: preposition 'for'→'to', incorrect modal 'can't' contradicts previous sentence—context suggests ability so use 'can', and phrase 'of two way' incorrect; use 'in both ways' or better 'in both ways' though 'in both ways' is acceptable. Suggestion: ensure consistency and correct fixed phrases.

× No, actually we are not argue with each others.

✓ No, actually we do not argue with each other.

Errors: 'are not argue' wrong verb form; use 'do not argue' for present simple negative. 'each others' incorrect; use 'each other'. Suggestion: use auxiliary 'do' for present simple negatives and correct reciprocal pronoun.

× Uh, just sometimes we are discussing something and we can think different type, but that's normal.

✓ Sometimes we just discuss things and we can have different opinions, but that's normal.

Errors: 'we are discussing' present continuous unnecessary for habitual action—use 'discuss'. 'think different type' is ungrammatical; use 'have different opinions'. 'something' vague—use 'things'. Suggestion: use present simple for habits and standard collocations like 'different opinions'.

× It's not, uh, like fight or or argue. We are just discuss something in general. Uh, we are not argue.

✓ It's not like fighting or arguing. We just discuss things in general. We do not argue.

Errors: noun/verb forms: use gerunds 'fighting' and 'arguing' after 'like'. 'We are just discuss' incorrect—use 'we just discuss'. 'We are not argue' wrong negative form—use 'we do not argue'. Suggestion: use correct verb forms after 'like' and appropriate auxiliary verbs for negation.
