Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid wordiness (e.g., "that depends" can be replaced by a short conditional), and limit to 3–4 sentences. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., "however," "after class"). Replace vague phrase "interesting affairs" with concrete examples.

Example: I enjoy chatting with friends, but it depends on the situation. During class I focus on the teacher; however, after class I like to chat about recent events, funny incidents or weekend plans.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence and specific examples. Avoid vague fillers like "everything" and "and so on." Use linking words (e.g., "for example," "also") and keep to 2–4 sentences. Mention one or two specific recent topics to sound more concrete.

Example: We talk about a variety of things. For example, we often discuss our weekend plans and new restaurants we want to try, and we also talk about favorite films or TV series we’ve been watching recently.

Suggestion: Improve grammar and fluency: begin with a clear statement, correct errors ("too much people" → "too many people"; "I willing to talk" → "I feel comfortable talking"). Use linking words to justify preference and keep it under five sentences.

Example: I prefer chatting one-on-one rather than in a group. I’m not very outgoing, so I feel embarrassed sharing personal stories with many people. With one close friend I feel safe and comfortable speaking openly.

Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and filler words, and organize the answer with a clear topic sentence and two supporting points. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "besides") and give specific reasons (eye contact, tone, body language).

Example: I prefer face-to-face communication because it gives me more information. Besides words, I can read facial expressions and gestures, which help me understand emotions and intentions better.

Suggestion: Be more direct and natural: start with a clear sentence (e.g., "Sometimes, but rarely"). Use past or present consistently and provide a brief example or reason to support the statement. Limit fillers and keep it concise.

Example: Sometimes we argue when we have different opinions, but it’s rare. Usually we discuss calmly and try to understand each other, and if a disagreement becomes heated we change the topic or agree to disagree.

× That depends. While having classes I will try my best to control myself to focus on the teacher, but after class I'd like to chat with my friends, sharing the recent interesting affairs and so on.

✓ That depends. During classes I try my best to control myself and focus on the teacher, but after class I'd like to chat with my friends, sharing recent interesting things and so on.

The original mixes future 'will' with a habitual situation; use simple present 'try' for habitual actions. 'While having classes' is awkward; use 'during classes'. 'Control myself to focus' is incorrect collocation; use 'control myself and focus' or 'control myself to focus on' but 'and focus on' is clearer. 'The recent interesting affairs' is unnatural; use 'recent interesting things' or 'recent events'. ID:6

× The content will be various, for example, we will check about our recent plans and the delicious foods, our favorite movies and so on. Everything. As long as it's interesting, we will have a chat.

✓ The content is varied; for example, we talk about our recent plans, delicious food, our favorite movies, and so on. As long as it's interesting, we will chat.

'Will be various' is odd for general habits; use present simple 'is varied' or 'varies'. 'Check about' is incorrect; use 'talk about'. 'The delicious foods' should be 'delicious food' without 'the' and usually uncountable. 'We will have a chat' is acceptable but 'we will chat' is more natural. Also keep consistent present tense for habitual actions. ID:11

× As for me, I prefer to chat with only one friend because I'm not a person that's so outgoing and I don't want to share my own experience with too much people. Only one friend can give me the sense of safety and I willing to talk.

✓ As for me, I prefer to chat with only one friend because I'm not a very outgoing person and I don't want to share my experiences with too many people. Only one friend gives me a sense of safety and I am willing to talk.

'A person that's so outgoing' is awkward; use 'a very outgoing person'. 'Too much people' is incorrect; use 'too many people' (countable). 'My own experience' is acceptable but plural 'experiences' sounds more natural. 'I willing to talk' is missing auxiliary verb 'am'. Pronoun-related and determiners corrected. ID:27

× I prefer to communicate face to face because while talking face to face I can uh, get more information. Except for uh, the words, umm, Also the facial expressions, uh, gestures can express some information.

✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because when talking face to face I can get more information. Besides words, facial expressions and gestures can convey information.

'While talking' is acceptable but 'when talking' flows better. 'Except for the words' is incorrect collocation; use 'besides words' or 'in addition to words'. 'Also the facial expressions, gestures can express some information' is awkward; combine and use 'facial expressions and gestures can convey information.' Using 'convey' is more precise than 'express' here. ID:8

× Umm, sometimes when we are talking about the topic that we hold different opinions, we will argue with each other, but that was very rare.

✓ Sometimes when we talk about a topic on which we hold different opinions, we argue with each other, but that is very rare.

The sentence mixes tenses: 'are talking' and 'will argue' are inconsistent for habitual events. Use present simple 'talk' and 'argue' for habitual actions. 'That was very rare' uses past tense incorrectly; use present 'that is very rare' to describe frequency. 'The topic that we hold different opinions' is unidiomatic; use 'a topic on which we hold different opinions' or 'a topic where we have different opinions.' ID:5
