Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make the response more grammatical, concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words, correct tense and word choice, and limit to 2–3 sentences. Mention a brief reason and a specific example using linking words (e.g., 'because', 'for example').

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. I think chatting is one of the easiest ways to keep in touch because it’s fast and convenient; for example, I use Telegram to message friends because it feels secure and reliable.

Sugerencia: Respond directly with a topic sentence and give specific examples. Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid vague phrases like 'some practical way'. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and use accurate collocations (e.g., 'practical ways to do things', 'keep in touch').

Ejemplo: It depends on who I’m chatting with. With colleagues I usually discuss practical ways to complete tasks or ask quick questions, while with friends I mainly chat to keep in touch or make plans.

Sugerencia: Remove hesitations and make sentences more concise and natural. State preference clearly, give two brief reasons using linking words ('because'/'and'), and use correct phrasing (e.g., 'more private' not 'not too much private').

Ejemplo: I prefer chatting one-on-one because it’s easier to speak freely and more direct, and I feel that one-on-one conversations are more private than group chats.

Sugerencia: Clarify and correct grammar: say clearly that you prefer face-to-face when possible, but explain constraints briefly. Use linking words ('however', 'because') and correct subject-verb agreement ('my friends are'). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer face-to-face communication when it’s possible because it feels more natural and effective; however, these days I often use social media because both my friends and I are busy and live far apart.

Sugerencia: Be direct and avoid fillers. Give a concise topic sentence and a clear reason with examples. Use plural agreement ('different opinions') and avoid redundancy ('discuss about' → 'discuss'). Limit to 2–3 sentences and show ability to explain consequences or how you handle disagreements.

Ejemplo: Yes, we sometimes argue about politics because we have different opinions. When this happens we try to discuss our views calmly and focus on understanding each other rather than winning the argument.

× Yes, I definitely because I believe that the chatting is the best way for communicating these days.

✓ Yes, definitely, because I believe that chatting is the best way to communicate these days.

The sentence uses the adverb 'definitely' incorrectly by lacking punctuation and a subject link; 'the chatting' is unnatural because 'chatting' as an activity does not need 'the'; use 'to communicate' rather than 'for communicating' to match common verb patterns. Suggestion: place commas around 'definitely' when used as a sentence adverb, drop the article before gerund activities, and use 'to' + base verb for purpose expressions.

× As you know it's ever really fast and reliable.

✓ As you know, it's always really fast and reliable.

The word 'ever' is incorrect in this context; 'always' is the right adverb to express consistent speed and reliability. Also add a comma after the introductory clause 'As you know'.

× For example, I use Telegram to chat with my friends and always I know it's secure.

✓ For example, I use Telegram to chat with my friends, and I always know it's secure.

'Always' is placed awkwardly; in English, frequency adverbs typically go before the main verb or after auxiliary verbs. Moving 'always' before 'know' and adding the subject 'I' clarifies the sentence. Add a comma before 'and' to join clauses.

× Well, it depends actually.

✓ Well, it actually depends.

Adverb placement: 'actually' more naturally follows the filler 'well' or comes before the verb. Reordering improves flow and conforms to common spoken English patterns.

× I usually chat with my colleagues about some practical way of doing things and also I ask a question in chats and sometimes just stay in contact with them.

✓ I usually chat with my colleagues about practical ways of doing things, and I also ask questions in chats or sometimes just stay in contact with them.

Use plural 'ways' when referring to general methods; 'some' is unnecessary with plural here. 'Ask a question' should be plural 'ask questions' for general habit. Add 'also' in a natural position and use conjunctions for clarity.

× Well, for me, I prefer to, uh, chat in with one person because I think, uh, you can actually speak more fluently and more directly.

✓ Well, for me, I prefer to chat with one person because I think you can actually speak more fluently and more directly.

The phrase 'chat in with one person' is ungrammatical; correct preposition is 'with'. Remove filler hesitations for written correction. 'More' before both adverbs is acceptable but can be kept once: 'speak more fluently and more directly' or 'speak more fluently and directly.'

× And also I don't feel secure in a large group because I think it's not, uh, too much private.

✓ I also don't feel secure in a large group because I think it's not very private.

'Too much private' is incorrect; use the adverb 'very' with 'private' or say 'too private' without 'much.' Remove 'a' before 'large group' only if referring generally — 'in a large group' is acceptable; keep as is. Simplify phrasing for clarity.

× Well, for me it's matter of a distance as if I can speak face to face.

✓ Well, for me it's a matter of distance and whether I can speak face to face.

Missing article 'a' before 'matter' and awkward clause 'as if I can speak' — use 'whether I can speak' to express the conditional choice. Rephrase for natural English.

× I usually prefer that but in no.

✓ I usually prefer that, but not always.

The fragment 'but in no' is ungrammatical. Use 'but not always' or 'but not in every case' to convey the intended contrast. Add comma before 'but'.

× But nowadays, as you know, it's really hard to communicate face to face because I am busy and also my friend are.

✓ But nowadays, as you know, it's really hard to communicate face to face because I am busy and my friends are too.

Plural noun 'friend' requires plural verb or plural noun 'friends' with 'are'. Add 'too' for naturalness. Keep punctuation consistent.

× Uh, to be honest, sometimes we argue about politics, which is a, a big problem for all of us because we have different opinion and uh, we uh, have to, uh, sometimes discuss about them and share uh, our own ideas.

✓ To be honest, sometimes we argue about politics, which is a big problem for all of us because we have different opinions, and we sometimes have to discuss them and share our own ideas.

Use plural 'opinions' when people have differing views. Remove unnecessary 'about' after 'discuss' — 'discuss them' is correct. Remove filler words and repeated commas. Use 'have to' before 'sometimes' or place 'sometimes' appropriately: 'we sometimes have to discuss them'.
