Chatting— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then give one or two specific supporting details with correct grammar and linking words. Avoid negative or absolute phrasing that sounds unnatural (e.g. “I don't have any friends”). Also correct grammar and word choice (calmed → calm; anybody bothers me → being bothered).

Exemplo: I don’t really enjoy chatting with friends. I tend to prefer being alone because it helps me relax and I find quiet time more peaceful; for example, I like reading or listening to music when I have free time.

Sugestão: Avoid offensive or extreme statements. Give a direct, relevant answer and a specific, appropriate example. Use linking words to explain: first state the situation, then explain what you would discuss. Keep it natural and within 1–3 sentences.

Exemplo: I don’t often chat with friends, but on rare occasions I usually stick to light topics such as school, hobbies or recent movies. For instance, I might ask about someone’s weekend plans so the conversation stays polite and short.

Sugestão: Good clear preference. Improve by adding a reason and a linking word to make it more coherent, and avoid exaggerated words like “literally” unless appropriate. Use one supporting detail and correct phrasing.

Exemplo: I prefer chatting with just one person because it’s easier to have a meaningful conversation and I feel less overwhelmed. For example, one-on-one talks let me focus and express my thoughts more clearly.

Sugestão: This is a good answer with clear reasons. Improve by tightening language, using linking words, and correcting small grammar (‘not proper’ → ‘something inappropriate’). Add a brief example to make it specific and keep it concise.

Exemplo: I prefer communicating via social media because it gives me time to think before replying. For example, when texting I can draft a message and avoid saying something I might regret in a face-to-face conversation.

Sugestão: Avoid aggressive language and swear words. Answer directly and calmly, then give a specific, controlled example of how you handle disagreements. Use linking words to explain frequency and reasons, and correct grammar (e.g. ‘If someone annoys me, I tend to respond’).

Exemplo: I don’t often argue with friends, but I sometimes have disagreements with people when they are rude. For instance, if someone is disrespectful I’ll calmly tell them I don’t appreciate it and try to resolve the issue rather than escalate the situation.

× I prefer to just stay alone.

✓ I prefer to just stay alone.

No change needed. 'Stay alone' is correct and uses singular concept of being alone; no plural error.

× When I stay alone I just feel calmed, peaceful and I don't like anybody bothers me.

✓ When I stay alone I just feel calm and peaceful, and I don't like anybody bothering me.

Errors: 'calmed' is incorrect because the intended adjective is 'calm' not the past participle 'calmed' (matches type 10: present participle vs adjective). 'Anybody bothers me' is incorrect structure; after 'I don't like' the verb should be in -ing form ('bothering'). Suggestion: use adjective 'calm' and verb+ -ing 'bothering' after 'like'.

× As I just mentioned I don't have any friends but if there's any occasion I have to chat I will just try to say something mean and make them go away and not to bother me.

✓ As I just mentioned, I don't have any friends, but if there's any occasion when I have to chat I will just try to say something mean to make them go away and not bother me.

Errors: 'if there's any occasion I have to chat' needs a relative word like 'when' for clarity (type 3: there be issue partly because 'there's any occasion' is awkward but allowed; main fixes are sentence structure). 'Make them go away and not to bother me' is incorrect because after 'make' the following verb should be base form or parallel structure; here 'not bother me' is correct without 'to'. Also added commas for clarity. Suggestion: insert 'when' and remove 'to' before 'bother'.

× Chatting with a group of people literally is a nightmare to me.

✓ Chatting with a group of people is literally a nightmare to me.

Error: adverb placement (type 20). 'Literally' should be placed before the verb phrase it modifies ('is literally a nightmare') not between subject and verb in this context. Suggestion: place adverb close to the verb 'is'.

× Of course, I prefer to communicate through social media such as texting because I have enough time to think and respond.

✓ Of course, I prefer to communicate via social media, such as by texting, because I have enough time to think and respond.

Error: preposition choice (type 11). 'Through social media' is acceptable, but more natural is 'via social media'. Also 'such as texting' is ungrammatical; use 'such as by texting' or 'such as texting' with punctuation. Suggestion: use 'via' and add 'by' before 'texting' or rephrase.

× If it's face to face, I must reply immediately, so I might say something not proper.

✓ If it's face to face, I must reply immediately, so I might say something inappropriate.

Errors: 'not proper' is unidiomatic (type 13 adjective/adverb); use 'inappropriate'. Also consider hyphenation 'face-to-face' but main correction is word choice. Suggestion: replace 'not proper' with 'inappropriate' or 'something I shouldn't say'.

× Same as I mentioned, I don't have any friends but I argue a lot with people.

✓ As I mentioned, I don't have any friends, but I argue a lot with people.

Error: 'Same as I mentioned' is a nonstandard phrase (type 12 pronoun/phrase use). Use 'As I mentioned' or 'Like I said'. Also added comma for clarity. Suggestion: use 'As I mentioned'.

× If there's anybody **** me off I just fight back and argue with them all the time.

✓ If anyone pisses me off, I just fight back and argue with them all the time.

Errors: colloquial omitted word indicated by ****; corrected to 'pisses me off' with correct third person singular verb agreement (type 2 third person singular issue and type 12 pronoun use). 'Anybody' can be 'anyone'; 'pisses' requires 's' for third person singular. Suggestion: use 'anyone pisses me off' or more formal 'If someone angers me'.
