Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve grammar and fluency: use correct verb forms and concise phrasing. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid redundant words like "every single time."

Example: Yes, I enjoy chatting with my friends. I often ask about their day and any news because I like staying updated on what’s happening in their lives.

Suggestion: Structure and verb accuracy: give a clear topic sentence about typical topics, then one specific example using correct past tense and linking words. Avoid hesitations and incorrect verb forms (e.g., "to hanging" should be "hanging out" or "about hanging out").

Example: We usually talk about plans for hanging out. For example, last Monday we went to a new ice-cream shop called Temple Plateau, and we were arranging times to meet again.

Suggestion: Clarity and vocabulary: use accurate words (e.g., "private talk" not "private tax") and clear reasons. Provide one or two concise reasons with linking words. Avoid awkward metaphors like "raining too much energy."

Example: I prefer talking one-on-one with a friend because it feels more comfortable and personal. In contrast, group chats can be noisy and make it harder to have a deep conversation.

Suggestion: Conciseness and coherence: give a direct answer, then two clear reasons. Use correct tense and natural phrasing ("I prefer communicating via social media" and "friends live in other countries"). Avoid unclear phrases like "better to justify your social media."

Example: I prefer communicating via social media because it is convenient and instant. Also, many of my friends live abroad in places like China and Singapore, so apps like Instagram and WhatsApp make it easy to stay in touch.

Suggestion: Grammar and sentence form: answer directly, then give specific examples with correct verb forms and linking words. Replace vague phrases with clearer ones like "we usually discuss" and "rarely argue."

Example: No, I rarely argue with my friends. Usually we just discuss practical things like where to meet or what time works best, and we reach a compromise quickly.

× Yes, I do like to chatting with friends because I found it's fascinating to always contact thing to each other every single time and usually I'm asking them about how was your day or what's happened today or is there any important story to tell.

✓ Yes, I do like chatting with friends because I find it fascinating to be in constant contact with each other, and I usually ask them about how their day was, what happened today, or whether there is any important story to tell.

Errors: 'to chatting' mixes 'to' + verb-ing incorrectly; use either 'to chat' or 'like chatting' (Grammar problem type 8). 'I found' should be present 'I find' to match habitual action (type 6 Present tense issue). 'always contact thing to each other' is ungrammatical: use 'be in constant contact with each other' (type 26 sentence structure/11 preposition). 'I'm asking them about how was your day' uses incorrect word order for indirect questions and wrong tense/pronoun: use 'I usually ask them about how their day was' (type 24 direct/indirect speech & type 6). 'what's happened today' should be 'what happened today' (use simple past for completed events) (type 5). 'is there any important story to tell' should be 'whether there is any important story to tell' to fit indirect question structure (type 24). Suggestions: remove 'to' after 'like', use present simple for habits, use 'be in constant contact with', change direct question forms to indirect question word order and correct tense and pronouns.

× I usually keep in touch with my friends, uh, talking about our plans to hanging out together because I last Monday I went out with my friends to the new ice cream store in my city.

✓ I usually keep in touch with my friends, talking about our plans to hang out together, because last Monday I went out with them to a new ice cream shop in my city.

Errors: 'talking about our plans to hanging out' wrongly uses 'to' + -ing; after 'plans to' use base verb 'hang' or use 'plans to hang out' (type 10 present participle/8 -ing form). 'I last Monday I went' has redundant 'I' and wrong word order; place time expression correctly: 'last Monday I went' or 'I went last Monday' (type 26 sentence structure). 'the new ice cream store' -> 'a new ice cream shop' (article choice/type 22). Suggestions: use 'plans to hang out' or 'plans to go hanging out' (prefer 'hang out'); remove duplicate subject and fix article and word order.

× The name is Temple Plateau and we're just scheduling our time.

✓ The place is called Temple Plateau, and we were just arranging a time to meet.

Errors: 'The name is' is awkward; use 'The place is called' (style), 'we're just scheduling our time' mixes present continuous with a past specific event mentioned earlier ('last Monday'); use past continuous or simple past 'we were just arranging a time' (type 7/6 tense issues). 'scheduling our time' is also odd collocation; use 'arranging a time to meet' (type 13 adjective/adverb collocation). Suggest using consistent past tense when referring to a past event and natural collocations.

× I do prefer for a private tax with only one friend because I found it more comfortable and more close with them.

✓ I prefer a private talk with only one friend because I find it more comfortable and closer with them.

Errors: 'do prefer for a private tax' has wrong preposition and misspelling: 'prefer' does not take 'for' and 'tax' should be 'talk' (type 11 prepositions & type 26 sentence structure). 'I found' should be present 'I find' for general preference (type 6). 'more close' should be 'closer' (comparative adjective, type 13/25). 'with them' is acceptable though 'with him/her' could match one friend; plural 'them' is okay for singular they. Suggestions: remove 'for', correct spelling, use present simple for habits, and use comparative adjective 'closer'.

× Then uh, it's not raining too much energy if I'm in the group.

✓ Also, it doesn't drain too much energy when I'm in a group.

Errors: 'raining' is incorrect verb here; intended meaning is 'drain' (type 26 sentence structure/8 -ing confusion). 'it's not raining too much energy' wrong subject-verb collocation; correct is 'it doesn't drain too much energy' using auxiliary 'doesn't' with base verb (type 2 third person singular). 'if I'm in the group' should be 'when I'm in a group' for habitual/general situations (type 6 present tense/time clause). Suggestions: use correct verb 'drain', proper negative auxiliary 'doesn't', and 'when' for general situations.

× I prefer communicate in social media because it can be anytime every second by Instagram or WhatsApp since I didn't have a lot of time to catch up with them face to face because some of my friends also live in another country like China and Singapore.

✓ I prefer communicating via social media because it is available anytime, for example Instagram or WhatsApp, since I don't have a lot of time to catch up with them face to face; some of my friends also live in other countries like China and Singapore.

Errors: 'prefer communicate' needs gerund or infinitive: 'prefer communicating' or 'prefer to communicate' (type 8). 'in social media' wrong preposition; use 'on' or 'via' (type 11). 'it can be anytime every second' is awkward; use 'it is available anytime' (type 13/adverb placement). 'by Instagram or WhatsApp' wrong preposition; use 'on' or 'via' (type 11). 'I didn't have a lot of time' should be present 'I don't have' for current situation (type 6). 'another country' should be plural 'other countries' (type 1 singular/plural). Suggestions: use 'prefer communicating via social media', use present simple for current facts, and correct prepositions 'on/ via'.

× So it's better to justify your social media.

✓ So it's better to use social media to stay in touch.

Errors: 'justify your social media' uses wrong verb and unclear meaning; likely intended 'use social media' (type 26 sentence structure). 'your' is odd when speaking generally; better to use general phrasing (type 12 pronouns). Suggestions: replace 'justify' with 'use' and rephrase to clearly express purpose.

× No I never argue with my friends.

✓ No, I never argue with my friends.

Main issue is punctuation; add a comma after 'No'. The sentence is otherwise correct for present habitual action using 'never' with simple present. (type 6). Suggestion: include comma for natural speech pause.

× Usually we just sharing our opinion about the place that we will go or the time of our schedule and that's all because we barely argue about something.

✓ Usually we just share our opinions about the place we will go or the time of our schedule, and that's all because we rarely argue about anything.

Errors: 'we just sharing' needs base verb 'share' with auxiliary or simple present: 'we just share' (type 10/8). 'our opinion' should be plural 'our opinions' if referring to multiple people (type 1 singular/plural). 'we barely argue about something' is awkward: 'rarely argue about anything' is natural (type 13 adverb use/word choice). Suggestions: use simple present 'share', plural 'opinions', and 'rarely...anything' for negative polarity.
