Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Reduce hesitations and correct verb forms (e.g. "spend time on holiday", "we all go to places"). Use linking words like "but" or "however" to contrast.

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends. However, I’m quite busy during the week, so I usually catch up with them on weekends or holidays when we can meet and go out together.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a topic sentence and give specific examples. Use correct grammar (e.g. "we talk about", "when one of us faces a problem"). Use a linking phrase such as "for example" or "also" to add coherence.

Example: We usually talk about everyday matters. For example, we discuss work, our children, and hobbies, and we also help each other by suggesting solutions when one of us faces a problem.

Suggestion: Start with a clear statement and explain reasons with linking words. Correct grammar ("depends", "something personal", "one of my best friends"). Avoid trailing off and keep to two or three sentences.

Example: It depends on the situation. If I need privacy I prefer to talk one-on-one with a close friend, but I enjoy group conversations when we meet to go out or celebrate together.

Suggestion: Make a clear preference statement and support it with a reason. Use concise linking ("because", "so") and correct phrasing ("busy during the week", "use social media to stay in touch"). Avoid repeating similar ideas.

Example: I prefer face-to-face meetings because they feel more personal. However, since we’re busy during the week, we use social media to keep in touch and plan times to meet.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer followed by a brief explanation with clear grammar. Avoid filler sounds and unclear phrases ("get understand"). Use linking words like "but" or "so" and provide one specific strategy you use (e.g. listen, ask questions).

Example: Not really; I usually avoid arguing. If I disagree, I try to stay calm and ask questions to understand their point of view, which helps us resolve disagreements politely.

× Yes, I love to chat with my friends but to be honest I don't have much time for chatting during the whole week.

✓ Yes, I love chatting with my friends, but to be honest I don't have much time for chatting during the week.

The gerund 'chatting' is preferred after 'love' and after 'time for'. 'During the whole week' is awkward; 'during the week' is more natural. Use consistent gerund form and simplify time phrase.

× But when I spend sometimes at holiday then I try to manage free time when we all friends go any place and.

✓ But when I spend time on holiday, I try to make free time so that we all, as friends, can go somewhere.

Original sentence has incorrect word order and extra words. 'Spend sometimes at holiday' is wrong; use 'spend time on holiday'. 'Manage free time' is better as 'make free time'. 'We all friends go any place' should be 'we all, as friends, can go somewhere'. Finish the sentence; remove trailing 'and'.

× Generally, we, uh, are talk about our everyday life like our business, our kids, our hobbies and something like that.

✓ Generally, we usually talk about our everyday life, such as our work, our kids, our hobbies and things like that.

Use simple present 'talk' for habitual actions rather than 'are talk'. 'Business' as a general term is better as 'work'. 'Something like that' should be pluralized to 'things like that'.

× And we also, uh, try to solve problem when one among us face it and.

✓ And we also try to solve problems when one of us faces them.

Use plural 'problems' for general reference. 'One among us' is unnatural; 'one of us' is correct. Subject-verb agreement: 'one ... faces'. Pronoun 'them' refers back to plural 'problems'. Remove trailing 'and'.

× It completely depend on the situation.

✓ It completely depends on the situation.

Subject-verb agreement: third-person singular subject 'It' requires the verb 'depend' to be 'depends' in present simple.

× If I want to share something of my personal then I want to talk.

✓ If I want to share something personal, then I want to talk.

'Something of my personal' is incorrect; use 'something personal' or 'something personal to me'. Remove unnecessary article and reorder words for natural phrasing.

× I prefer one of my best friend for for so that I can feel privacy.

✓ I prefer one of my best friends so that I can have privacy.

Use plural 'friends' after 'one of'. Remove duplicated 'for'. 'Feel privacy' is unnatural; use 'have privacy'.

× But when we get together and go a place.

✓ But when we get together and go to a place/when we go out together.

Sentence is incomplete and missing preposition. Use 'go to a place' or more naturally 'go out together' to complete the idea.

× To be honest, I prefer to meet face to face with my friends rather than in social media, although we all pass busy time throughout the week.

✓ To be honest, I prefer to meet face to face with my friends rather than use social media, although we are all busy during the week.

'In social media' is incorrect; use 'use social media' or 'on social media'. 'Pass busy time' is incorrect; use 'are all busy' or 'have busy schedules'. 'Throughout the week' can be 'during the week'.

× That's why we need to talk, communicate through the social media, but we often manage some time when we can.

✓ That's why we need to talk and communicate through social media, but we often manage to find some time when we can.

Combine verbs with 'and'. 'Through the social media' is awkward; use 'through social media'. Add 'to find' after 'manage' for correct collocation and finish phrase 'when we can'.

× Not really. It's true. Sometimes I don't uh, agree with their opinion, but I don't uh, show them any reaction.

✓ Not really. That's true. Sometimes I don't agree with their opinions, but I don't show any reaction.

'It's true' is better as 'That's true' in context. 'Their opinion' can be plural 'their opinions' when referring to multiple people. Remove filler 'uh' and redundant 'them' after 'show'.

× I'm try to minimize it and I try to understand, get understand them why I am not.

✓ I try to minimize it and I try to understand them and make them understand why I do not agree.

'I'm try' is incorrect; use 'I try'. 'Get understand them' is ungrammatical; use 'make them understand' or 'help them understand'. Finish with 'why I do not agree' rather than 'why I am not'.
