Friends— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and use correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific details. Avoid filler words (uh, um) and correct verb forms (e.g., "I miss him").

Example: Yes. I have several friends I have known for many years. I used to see one close friend regularly, but he moved to another country last year, so I miss him and we now keep in touch by video calls once a week.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence and give specific examples. Use linking words (for example, sometimes) and correct collocations (go for coffee, have a party). Keep to two to three sentences.

Example: Usually we meet up to go for coffee and chat about our lives. Sometimes we also have small parties at home where we discuss work, hobbies and family matters.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a location and give a brief reason. Avoid repetition and unclear phrases. Use correct expressions for modern life (these days, busy schedules) and explain impact concisely.

Example: These days we usually meet at cafés or parks because our work schedules are busy. As a result, we can only meet less often than before.

Suggestion: Be concise and use correct verbs and prepositions (go to the café, watch a film at the cinema). Give one or two specific activities and use linking words like 'for example' or 'sometimes'.

Example: Yes, we often go out together. For example, sometimes we go to a café or the cinema, and other times we take a walk in the park and chat.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and precise reasons. Correct grammar (I can count on them) and use specific examples of how friends help you. Limit to two sentences for clarity.

Example: Friends are very important to me because I can rely on them for advice and emotional support. For instance, when I had a problem at work, a friend helped me find a solution and encouraged me.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly and give two specific reasons using linking words (because, for example). Use correct phrasing (topics to discuss, chance to learn new things).

Example: I prefer spending time with a group of friends because we have more topics to discuss and can learn different perspectives. For example, during group conversations I often hear new ideas about travel or work that I hadn't considered.

Suggestion: Give a clear yes/no answer and explain briefly who you invite and why. Avoid confusing or irrelevant details. Use correct tense and possessive forms (my daughter).

Example: Yes, I invite only close friends whom I trust to my home. I enjoy having them over because we can relax, my daughter can play with them, and we always have a good time.

Suggestion: Compare past and present clearly with linking words (in the past, now). Use specific examples of places or purposes, and correct grammar (I needed friends for hobbies; now I value trust).

Example: Yes. In the past we met mainly to pursue shared hobbies and hang out in busy places like malls. Now I prefer meeting friends who I can trust and talk to about personal matters, often in quieter cafés.

Suggestion: Start with a topic sentence and give a clear reason with an example. Use plural agreement (some places are not suitable) and linking words (for example, because).

Example: Some places are unsuitable for meetings because they are noisy and make conversation difficult. For example, a busy market or a loud club is not good for catching up, so people prefer quiet cafés or parks.

× Yes uh, I have uh, some friends, uh, that I have for a long time and I uh, frequently see them uh, but one of them, uh, I can't see them anymore because he migrated to other country and uh, I'm very miss of him and uh, I try to.

✓ Yes, I have some friends whom I have known for a long time and I frequently see them, but one of them I cannot see anymore because he migrated to another country and I miss him very much.

Errors: incorrect relative pronoun and verb form ('that I have for a long time' should be 'whom I have known for a long time'); incorrect pronoun reference ('one of them I can't see them' is redundant); incorrect preposition and article ('migrated to other country' needs 'another country'); incorrect verb phrase and word order ('I'm very miss of him' should be 'I miss him very much'). Suggestion: use 'whom' or 'who' with perfect tense 'have known' for long relationships, avoid repeating pronouns, use 'another' with 'country', and use natural collocations like 'miss someone very much'.

× Actually, in my age, I try to see my friend and we have we make a plan to see each other in coffee and chat with each other.

✓ Actually, at my age I try to see my friends and we make plans to meet at a cafe and chat with each other.

Errors: inappropriate preposition and phrase ('in my age' -> 'at my age'); singular/plural mismatch ('my friend' -> 'my friends'); redundant words ('we have we make a plan'); wrong collocation ('see each other in coffee' -> 'meet at a cafe'). Suggestion: use plural where appropriate, 'make plans' for arrangements, and 'meet at a cafe' for meeting location.

× Or sometimes we have a party in our homes and we talk about many things.

✓ Sometimes we have a party at one of our homes and we talk about many things.

Error: preposition for location with 'home' is typically 'at home' or 'at our homes' or 'at one of our homes' rather than 'in our homes' when referring to gatherings. Suggestion: use 'at one of our homes' for clarity.

× Uh, we try to meet each other often, but uh, in nowadays, in busy days, uh, we can, uh, we can't, uh, see each other.

✓ We try to meet each other often, but nowadays, on busy days, we cannot see each other.

Errors: awkward adverb placement ('in nowadays' -> 'nowadays'); preposition and noun phrase ('in busy days' -> 'on busy days'); contradictory fragment removed ('we can, we can't'). Suggestion: use 'nowadays' without 'in' and 'on busy days' to indicate typical busy times, and avoid hesitations.

× And in our age, we are very, uh, conflict with our families and can see each other, uh, very much.

✓ And at our age, we often have conflicts with our families and cannot see each other much.

Errors: wrong preposition ('in our age' -> 'at our age'); incorrect word choice ('are very conflict' -> 'often have conflicts'); misplaced modal and object ('and can see each other very much' meant opposite -> 'cannot see each other much'). Suggestion: use 'have conflicts' and 'cannot see each other much' to express limited meeting time.

× Uh, actually, yes, uh, we try to go out, uh, via, we meet with each other and with, sometimes we go to the cafe or cinema or uh, we go to parks and chat with each other and spend the time with together.

✓ Yes, we try to go out; sometimes we meet at a cafe or the cinema, or we go to parks to chat and spend time together.

Errors: unnecessary words ('via'), awkward commas and word order, incorrect phrase 'spend the time with together' should be 'spend time together'. Suggestion: use infinitive/gerund constructions properly ('go to parks to chat') and the fixed phrase 'spend time together'.

× Actually my friend is very important to me because I can't contact on them and they help me in various situation and when I have a problem and they help me without any hesitation and also I help them.

✓ Actually, my friends are very important to me because I can contact them and they help me in various situations when I have a problem without hesitation, and I also help them.

Errors: singular/plural mismatch ('my friend is' -> 'my friends are'); incorrect verb phrase ('can't contact on them' -> 'can contact them' or 'I can rely on them'); article and plural ('various situation' -> 'various situations'); word order and redundancy. Suggestion: use plural for friends, 'contact' without 'on', and pluralize 'situations'.

× Actually, I prefer to spend my time with group of friends because I think, uh, with a group of people, we have more, uh, subject, uh, to, uh, discuss about.

✓ Actually, I prefer to spend my time with a group of friends because I think with a group of people we have more subjects to discuss.

Errors: missing article ('with group of friends' -> 'with a group of friends'); unnecessary preposition 'about' after 'discuss' ('discuss about' is incorrect). Suggestion: include 'a' and use 'discuss' directly with the object.

× And also, uh, with the different, uh, ideas and, uh, people, we have a more chance to learn at the new things and also.

✓ Also, with different ideas and people, we have more opportunities to learn new things.

Errors: incorrect article and adjective order ('the different ideas' -> 'different ideas'); wrong noun ('a more chance' -> 'more opportunities'); wrong preposition ('learn at the new things' -> 'learn new things'); trailing 'and also' unnecessary. Suggestion: use 'opportunities' and the phrase 'learn new things'.

× Actually, uh, I would like to, uh, the friends that are very close to me and I uh, umm, trust to them.

✓ I would like to invite the friends who are very close to me and whom I trust.

Errors: missing verb ('I would like to' needs an object like 'invite'); incorrect relative pronoun and pronoun case ('the friends that are... and I trust to them' -> 'friends who are... whom I trust'). Suggestion: include the verb 'invite' and use 'who/whom' correctly; avoid 'trust to'—use 'trust someone'.

× Uh, so I invited them to my home, uh, because I, uh, I have a little daughter, so, uh, me, it's my best friend, uh, in my home.

✓ So I invite them to my home because I have a little daughter who is like my best friend at home.

Errors: tense inconsistency ('I invited' past vs 'I have' present) and awkward phrasing ('me, it's my best friend in my home'). Suggestion: keep present tense 'I invite' for habitual action or past 'I invited' with past context; rephrase to 'my daughter who is like my best friend'.

× Actually yes, in the past I need need friend for hobbies and uh, for, uh, spend time together and uh, in and hang out.

✓ In the past I needed friends for hobbies, to spend time together, and to hang out.

Errors: repeated word 'need need', wrong tense ('need' -> 'needed' for past), missing infinitives ('for, uh, spend' -> 'to spend'), and poor clause structure. Suggestion: use past tense 'needed' and parallel infinitive forms 'to spend' and 'to hang out'.

× But now, uh, I need a friend to trust him and.

✓ But now I need a friend whom I can trust.

Errors: incorrect object pronoun and dangling conjunction ('need a friend to trust him' is wrong). Suggestion: use 'whom' or 'who' with relative clause 'whom I can trust'.

× OK, uh, naturally some places is not good, uh, and suitable for meetings such as noisy places and because they distract uh, uh, people to uh, to focus on the conversation.

✓ Naturally, some places are not suitable for meetings, such as noisy places, because they distract people from focusing on the conversation.

Errors: subject-verb agreement ('some places is' -> 'some places are'); incorrect preposition ('distract people to focus' -> 'distract people from focusing'); redundancy and word order. Suggestion: use 'distract people from focusing' and ensure subject-verb agreement.

× So the people prefer to uh, have a meeting in uh, quiet place.

✓ So people prefer to have meetings in quiet places.

Errors: article and singular/plural ('in quiet place' -> 'in quiet places'); unnecessary 'the'. Suggestion: pluralize and remove 'the' when speaking generally.
