Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and organize your answer: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh, um), and give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Fix grammar errors (tense and word order) and limit to 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. I enjoy chatting with my friends in my free time because it helps me relax after study and work. For example, we often share stories about our day and give each other advice about problems. This keeps our friendships close and helps me unwind.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence, then use linking words (for example, also, recently) to list specific topics. Correct grammar (verb forms, prepositions) and avoid trailing unfinished sentences. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: We usually talk about our studies and career plans. For example, we discuss how to manage coursework and share tips for job applications. We also talk about hobbies and sometimes plan social activities; recently we have been discussing studying abroad.

Sugerencia: Start with a direct answer, then give two clear reasons using linking words (because, so, for example). Avoid repetition and incorrect phrasing. Use correct articles and plural forms, and limit to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer chatting in a group because I have a circle of about five close friends and it is efficient to discuss things together. For example, we can share different opinions quickly, so planning events takes less time than talking to each person separately.

Sugerencia: Give a direct statement and two clear, specific reasons connected with linking words. Reduce hesitation and fix grammar (use verbs and articles correctly). Keep answer compact and natural.

Ejemplo: I prefer face-to-face communication because it feels more personal and helps convey emotions clearly. For instance, when I meet family or friends in person we understand each other's feelings better, and misunderstandings are less likely than online.

Sugerencia: Answer directly, explain why arguments happen with a clear reason and give a brief example. Remove fillers and correct grammar (plural/singular agreement, word order). Use linking words like because, for example, and keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, we sometimes argue because everyone has different opinions. For example, in group discussions about plans or politics our views can clash, but these arguments are usually short and help us understand each other better.

× Yes, I absolutely like it because in my free time, I always try to, uh, hang out with my friends whenever in I was busy at my, during my study and office work, uh, that time I was chatting with my friends and, uh, we are talking lots of things and emphasize any, any story that we faces during, during a day. So it is I.

✓ Yes, I absolutely like it because in my free time I always try to hang out with my friends. When I am busy with my studies or office work I chat with my friends and we talk about many things and share stories about what we experience during the day.

The student mixes past and present tenses and uses awkward phrasing. Use present simple for habitual actions (I like, I try, I chat) and present continuous only when appropriate. Also remove filler words and correct verb forms (we talk, we share). Improve sentence clarity by splitting into shorter sentences. Suggestion: Use consistent present tense for routines and simplify structure: 'I always try to hang out with my friends. When I am busy with studies or work, I chat with them and we share stories about our day.'

× Usually I chat with my friends about our study and career plans.

✓ Usually I chat with my friends about our studies and career plans.

Singular/plural issue with 'study' used uncountably; 'studies' is more natural when referring to a person's academic work. Use plural to match 'career plans'. Suggestion: Use 'studies' when talking about your own academic activities: 'I chat with my friends about our studies.'

× For example, we often discuss how manage our coursework and how to umm, how to share tips in job applications.

✓ For example, we often discuss how to manage our coursework and how to share tips for job applications.

Missing infinitive marker 'to' before 'manage' and wrong preposition 'in' used with 'job applications'. Use 'to manage' and 'tips for job applications'. Suggestion: Include 'to' before verbs that follow 'how': 'how to manage' and use 'tips for job applications.'

× So we talk about hobbies, occasionally plan and social activities together.

✓ So we talk about hobbies and occasionally plan social activities together.

The sentence has a word order and conjunction problem; 'plan and social activities' is incorrect. Connect ideas with 'and' and place 'occasionally' before the verb phrase it modifies. Suggestion: 'So we talk about hobbies and occasionally plan social activities together.'

× And recently we are talking about how to go in abroad and our study because I.

✓ Recently we have been talking about how to go abroad and our studies.

Incorrect continuous tense and wrong preposition 'in abroad'. Use present perfect continuous 'have been talking' for actions that started recently and continue, use 'go abroad' and plural 'studies'. Remove trailing incomplete clause. Suggestion: 'Recently we have been talking about how to go abroad and about our studies.'

× Actually I prefer to chat with my friends as a group because we are I have not only friend, I have many friends of that because we are group of five people.

✓ Actually I prefer to chat with my friends as a group because I don't have only one friend; I have many friends and we are a group of five people.

Multiple errors: singular/plural and sentence structure. 'Not only friend' is incorrect; use 'don't have only one friend'. 'We are group of five people' needs an article and correct word order: 'we are a group of five people.' Suggestion: 'I don't have only one friend; I have many friends. We are a group of five.'

× So I cannot talk with individual person because of waste of time.

✓ So I cannot talk with an individual person because it would be a waste of time.

Missing article 'an' before 'individual person' and missing subject for 'waste of time'. Use 'it would be a waste of time' to complete the idea. Suggestion: 'I cannot talk with an individual person because it would be a waste of time.'

× So that's the reason I always try to chat with my friends as a group. That time we discuss a lot everyone.

✓ That's why I always try to chat with my friends as a group. At that time we all discuss many things.

Awkward phrasing 'That time we discuss a lot everyone.' Use 'at that time' and 'we all discuss many things' for clarity and correct word order. Suggestion: 'That's why I always chat with my friends as a group; at that time we all discuss many things.'

× Actually, I prefer communicate, uh, people, uh, through face to face because I think it's give me a more, uh, connected people to each other.

✓ Actually, I prefer to communicate face-to-face because I think it gives me a closer connection with people.

Missing 'to' after 'prefer' and incorrect word order. Use 'to communicate' or 'communicating'; 'face-to-face' needs hyphens as a compound adverb. 'It gives me a closer connection with people' corrects subject-verb agreement and wording. Suggestion: 'I prefer to communicate face-to-face because it gives me a closer connection with others.'

× Uh, when I talk with my friends or family, I always try to prefer face to face because, umm, we understand, talk each other very closely and uh, connected our topic and emotional, uh, connected are very close.

✓ When I talk with my friends or family, I always prefer face-to-face communication because we understand each other better, talk more closely, and are more emotionally connected.

Incorrect verb choice 'try to prefer' (use 'prefer' alone), wrong pronoun order 'talk each other' should be 'talk to each other' or 'talk more closely', and awkward 'connected our topic and emotional connected are very close.' Rephrase to 'are more emotionally connected.' Suggestion: 'I prefer face-to-face communication because we understand each other better and are more emotionally connected.'

× Yeah, obviously sometimes, uh, we argue a lot of uh, topic because, uh, we are different person our everyone have a different perspective.

✓ Yes, obviously sometimes we argue about many topics because we are different people and everyone has a different perspective.

Use 'people' instead of 'person' for plural, 'argue about topics' instead of 'argue a lot of topic', and correct subject-verb agreement 'everyone has.' Suggestion: 'Sometimes we argue about many topics because we are different people and everyone has a different perspective.'

× Umm any opinion.

✓ We have different opinions.

Fragment 'Any opinion.' is incomplete. Make it a full sentence and use plural 'opinions.' Suggestion: 'We have different opinions.'

× So somehow and I uh, talking in groups sometimes are opinion are not a match that time we are arguing lot.

✓ Sometimes when we talk in groups, our opinions do not match and we argue a lot.

Incorrect verb forms and word order: 'I uh, talking' should be 'we talk', 'are opinion are not a match' should be 'our opinions do not match', and 'arguing lot' should be 'argue a lot.' Suggestion: 'Sometimes when we talk in groups, our opinions don't match and we argue a lot.'

× So it is a very common things to people to have arguing other.

✓ So it is very common for people to argue with each other.

Awkward and incorrect structure: 'a very common things to people to have arguing other.' Use 'very common for people to argue with each other.' Adjust noun/verb forms and prepositions. Suggestion: 'It is very common for people to argue with each other.'
