× she is my one of friends in university
✓ she is one of my friends at university
The phrase 'my one of friends' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'one of my friends'. Also, 'at university' is more appropriate than 'in university' when referring to being a student there.
× I have known her maybe about two or five, uh, four or five years
✓ I have known her for about four or five years
The present perfect tense 'have known' is correct, but the time expression should be 'for about four or five years' to indicate duration. The original sentence is unclear and redundant.
× I and her uh is best friend
✓ she and I are best friends
The subject pronouns should be 'she and I' and the verb should agree in plural form 'are'. Also, 'best friends' should be plural.
× we usually are meeting and chatting, uh, at the weekend
✓ we usually meet and chat at the weekend
The adverb 'usually' should come before the verb. Also, the present simple tense 'meet and chat' is more appropriate for habitual actions than the present continuous 'are meeting and chatting'.
× during, uh, the week, uh, we have go to work and study
✓ during the week, we have to go to work and study
The verb 'have' should be followed by 'to' when expressing obligation. Also, 'go' should be in base form after 'have to'.
× therefore just only, uh, our Saturday or Sunday we can uh, go hang out or drink coffee
✓ therefore, only on Saturday or Sunday can we go hang out or drink coffee
The phrase 'just only' is redundant; 'only' suffices. Also, the sentence structure is improved by placing 'only on Saturday or Sunday' at the beginning and inverting the subject and modal verb.
× We often see each other at the District 1
✓ We often see each other in District 1
The preposition 'in' is used for areas or districts, not 'at'.
× as a District 1 is the center of, uh, my house and also her house
✓ as District 1 is the center between my house and her house
'District 1' is a proper noun and does not need an article 'a'. Also, the phrase is better expressed as 'the center between'.
× we usually go around the shopping center and, uh, to eat something on that
✓ we usually go around the shopping center and eat something there
The phrase 'to eat something on that' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'there' to indicate location.
× we just are buy something and then, uh, find the public ways
✓ we just buy something and then find public places
The phrase 'just are buy' is incorrect; it should be 'just buy'. Also, 'public ways' is incorrect; 'public places' is more appropriate.
× find the public ways, uh, such as the park
✓ find public places, such as the park
'Public ways' is not a correct phrase; 'public places' is appropriate when referring to locations like parks.
× we, uh, sit in our, our talk about the whole weekend that we have
✓ we sit and talk about the whole weekend we had
The phrase is awkward and unclear. The correction uses 'sit and talk' which is more natural, and 'we had' refers to past events.
× I think our friends is also the little part of my life
✓ I think our friends are also a small part of my life
The subject 'friends' is plural, so the verb should be 'are'. Also, 'a small part' is more natural than 'the little part'.
× whenever I have a stroke or something, I can find them to, uh, express my feeling and my thoughts
✓ whenever I have a problem or something, I can turn to them to express my feelings and thoughts
'Have a stroke' is incorrect in this context; 'have a problem' is appropriate. Also, 'find them to express' is awkward; 'turn to them to express' is better. 'Feelings' should be plural.
× they also give me an advice, uh, for me
✓ they also give me advice
'Advice' is an uncountable noun and does not take 'an'. Also, 'for me' is redundant.
× it also depend on, uh, what kind of, uh, events
✓ it also depends on what kind of events
The verb should be 'depends' to agree with singular subject 'it'. Also, 'on' is the correct preposition after 'depend'.
× if my friends just want to uh, talk and, uh, express her feeling
✓ if my friend just wants to talk and express her feelings
'Friends' is plural but 'her' is singular; should be consistent. Also, 'friend' singular with 'wants' third person singular verb. 'Feelings' plural.
× I'm the kind of person who like party
✓ I'm the kind of person who likes parties
The verb should be 'likes' to agree with singular subject 'person'. Also, 'party' should be plural 'parties'.
× we are order food on, uh, many apps like uh, crab or Shopee
✓ we order food through many apps like Grab or Shopee
The verb form should be 'order' not 'are order'. The preposition 'through' is used for apps. Also, 'Grab' is the correct name.
× we are sitting to together
✓ we are sitting together
The preposition 'to' is unnecessary and incorrect here.
× I I easily make a friends with my neighbor because we living in in in the same in the same, in the same LA
✓ I easily made friends with my neighbor because we lived in the same LA
Past tense 'made' and 'lived' are needed to match the past time frame. Also, 'friends' plural without 'a'.
× I have a lot of place to make a friend
✓ I have a lot of places to make friends
'Place' should be plural 'places'. Also, 'make friends' is the correct phrase.
× I think it depend on umm, the target of the one to go
✓ I think it depends on the purpose of the person going
The verb should be 'depends' for singular subject 'it'. 'Target of the one to go' is unclear; 'purpose of the person going' is clearer.
× if you go to concert, you can easily, uh, make a friend with people who have the same, uh, habit with you
✓ if you go to a concert, you can easily make friends with people who have the same habits as you
Article 'a' is needed before 'concert'. 'Make friends' plural is correct. 'Habits as you' is the correct comparison.
