× Yes I do, I like chatting with my friends because it's helped me feel more relaxed after a busy day at school.
✓ Yes, I do. I like chatting with my friends because it helps me feel more relaxed after a busy day at school.
The original uses present perfect 'has helped' incorrectly with general habitual action; simple present 'helps' is correct for habitual facts. Also punctuation and comma splice fixed by splitting into two sentences.
× Also is have me and my friend understand each other better after talking with each other.
✓ Also, it helps my friend and me understand each other better after talking.
Incorrect subject and verb form 'is have' and wrong pronoun order. Use 'it helps' as a dummy subject and 'my friend and me' (object form). Omit redundant 'with each other'.
× I usually chat with my friends about games because we very like playing games and I also talk with my friends about a new trend in social media or funny story because it's very fun to me and my friends and we also laugh together after I.
✓ I usually chat with my friends about games because we really like playing them. I also talk with my friends about new trends on social media or funny stories because they are very entertaining to us and we laugh together afterwards.
Use 'really' instead of 'very' before 'like' and 'them' to refer to games. Change 'a new trend in social media' to 'new trends on social media' and 'funny story' to plural. Use 'entertaining to us' and 'afterwards' instead of 'after I'. Correct verb forms and prepositions.
× Maybe I preferred chat with only one friends, because if I just with a group of people it's very noisy and I cannot answer all the questions.
✓ Maybe I prefer to chat with only one friend, because when I am with a group of people it's very noisy and I cannot answer all the questions.
'Preferred' should be present 'prefer' for current preference. Use infinitive 'to chat' and singular 'friend'. Correct clause 'when I am with' instead of 'if I just with' and maintain present tense for habitual situation.
× I think I prefer to communicate via social media because I'm very busy after school.
✓ I think I prefer to communicate through social media because I'm very busy after school.
'Via' is acceptable but 'through' or 'on' is more natural here; this is optional. No major grammar error; changed for naturalness.
× I have a lot of homework to do, so via social media is very convenient to me.
✓ I have a lot of homework to do, so communicating through social media is very convenient for me.
Use gerund 'communicating' to express the action. Replace 'to me' with 'for me' for natural prepositional use.
× With my friends we can chatting at night or at three times if we can't.
✓ With my friends we can chat at night or at three o'clock if we can't meet.
Use base verb 'chat' after modal 'can' not 'chatting'. Clarify 'at three o'clock' and add 'meet' to complete the idea.
× Be with friends. Yes, I do sometimes.
✓ When I'm with friends, yes, I sometimes argue.
Original 'Be with friends.' is fragment. Rewrote as full sentence 'When I'm with friends' and combined with main clause for clarity.
× I often agree with my friends at work or hard to do the project, but we usually sit down and talk calmly to resolve the problem.
✓ I often work with my friends on difficult projects, but we usually sit down and talk calmly to resolve problems.
Original 'agree with my friends at work or hard to do the project' is unclear. Replaced with 'work with my friends on difficult projects' and plural 'problems'. Improves preposition use and clarity.
× Things help us to understand each other and finish the talks better.
✓ Talking things through helps us understand each other and finish our discussions more effectively.
'Things help us' is vague. Use 'Talking things through' as the subject and 'helps' singular. 'Finish the talks better' replaced with 'finish our discussions more effectively' for natural expression.
