× Chatting is one of my favorite gossip briefs session as well as one of my favorite part time, uh, things to do.

✓ Chatting is one of my favorite gossip-filled sessions as well as one of my favorite part-time activities to do.

The original sentence misuses and combines nouns and adjectives ('gossip briefs session', 'part time, uh, things') which is an adjective/adverb and noun error. Use the adjective form 'gossip-filled' to modify 'sessions' and hyphenate 'part-time' when used as a compound adjective before a noun; replace the vague 'things to do' with the clearer noun 'activities'. Also make 'session' plural 'sessions' to match 'one of my'. Suggestion: choose clear adjective+noun combinations and use hyphens for compound adjectives.

× So it not only clears my mind from the gut wrenching work that I do, but also it is a such.

✓ So it not only clears my mind from the gut-wrenching work that I do, but it is also such a relief.

Pronoun and word-order issues: 'it not only clears' lacks auxiliary 'does' or proper contraction; better is 'it not only clears' with correct punctuation. 'Gut wrenching' should be hyphenated 'gut-wrenching'. 'but also it is a such' is incorrect word order and article use; correct phrase is 'but it is also such a relief'. Suggestion: keep subject-verb order, hyphenate compound adjectives, and place 'also' after the verb or before the adjective when appropriate.

× Chatting with my friends doesn't really have a topic.

✓ Chatting with my friends doesn't really have a set topic.

The verb 'have' with 'chatting' as a gerund is acceptable but the sentence lacks a natural collocation; adding 'set' clarifies meaning. This is a present tense usage improvement rather than a tense error per se. Suggestion: add appropriate modifiers to make collocations natural.

× Gossip and spilling the tea is one of my favorite things when it comes.

✓ Gossip and spilling the tea are two of my favorite things when it comes to chatting.

Subject-verb agreement and adjective use: 'Gossip and spilling the tea' are two items and require plural verb 'are'. Also 'when it comes' is incomplete; add 'to chatting' to complete the phrase. This fixes plurality and clarity. Suggestion: ensure compound subjects take plural verbs and complete dependent phrases.

× I wanna sound extroverted and say that I want to chat with everyone that I know or a group of people, but I definitely prefer speaking or chatting to one person at a time because I could get everything from them and I could just transfer all of the gossip and tea from me to them.

✓ I want to sound extroverted and say that I want to chat with everyone I know or with a group of people, but I definitely prefer speaking to one person at a time because I can get everything from them and I can just pass all of the gossip and tea from me to them.

Informal 'wanna' should be 'want to' in formal responses. 'Everyone that I know' is acceptable but 'everyone I know' is more natural. 'Speaking or chatting to one person' choose one verb; 'speaking to' is used here. Tense/modal consistency: use 'can' instead of 'could' when stating preference/habit. 'Transfer' is odd with gossip; 'pass' is more idiomatic. Pronoun positions are adjusted for clarity. Suggestion: use standard forms in test settings, keep tense/modal consistent, and pick idiomatic verbs.

× Oh, this is a tough question because I do prefer to chat face to face because I would get their reactions, emotions and everything at once.

✓ Oh, this is a tough question because I do prefer to chat face to face since I get their reactions, emotions and everything at once.

Mixing 'do prefer' with 'would get' creates an inconsistent tense/mood. For habitual preferences, use present simple 'I get' rather than conditional 'would get'. Also 'because' repeated is redundant; use 'since' for variety. Suggestion: maintain present simple for habitual facts and avoid mixing conditional forms unnecessarily.

× So a 5050 I would say.

✓ So it's a 50/50 split, I would say.

Use of 'a 5050' is informal and unclear. '50/50' or 'a 50/50 split' is the correct quantifier expression. Include contraction 'it's' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: use standard numeric expressions and include necessary auxiliary verbs.

× Our arguments start from the smallest things, like not sharing a cookie or I don't know, like slapping her **** or something.

✓ Our arguments start from the smallest things, like not sharing a cookie or, I don't know, something like slapping her arm or so.

The phrase 'slapping her ****' is problematic and unclear; replace with 'slapping her arm' or similar neutral phrasing. Also punctuation with commas improves readability. Pronoun use is okay but phrasing needs to be appropriate and precise. Suggestion: avoid vulgar placeholders, use clear and appropriate nouns, and punctuate parenthetical phrases.

× But they turn into big loud arguments which turn everyone's faces around.

✓ But they turn into big, loud arguments that make everyone's faces change.

Original uses awkward phrasing 'turn everyone's faces around'. Better: 'make everyone's faces change' or 'make everyone turn to face each other' depending on intended meaning. Also add comma between 'big' and 'loud' for coordinate adjectives. Suggestion: choose verbs that clearly express the intended result and punctuate coordinate adjectives.

× So argument is a bond.

✓ So an argument is a kind of bond.

Missing article 'an' before singular countable noun 'argument'. Also 'is a bond' is grammatically possible but unclear; 'a kind of bond' clarifies meaning. This addresses article use (ID 22) and adjective clarity. Suggestion: include appropriate articles and use qualifiers to clarify abstract statements.
