× I like to chatting with my friends because, uh, I want to share some of my initial idea with my friend and share the best moment together in the greatest memory.
✓ I like chatting with my friends because I want to share some of my initial ideas with my friends and share the best moments together as great memories.
The verb 'like' should be followed by the gerund form 'chatting' (Grammar problem type 8) rather than the infinitive 'to chatting'. Also, 'idea' and 'friend' need plural forms to match meaning (singular/plural issue, ID 1). Changed 'the greatest memory' to 'great memories' for natural plural expression and corrected article usage. Suggestion: use 'like + -ing' for general preferences and ensure nouns agree in number.
× We are kind of like a person that keen to, uh, video games. So normally we, we just talk about the, the news about game, uh, technologies, for example.
✓ We are kind of like people who are keen on video games. So normally we just talk about news about games and game technologies, for example.
The original uses singular 'person' and incorrect pronoun 'that' and preposition 'keen to'. Changed to plural 'people' and relative pronoun 'who' (pronoun issue, ID 12) and the correct preposition 'keen on' (preposition issue, ID 11). Also pluralized 'game' to 'games' to match meaning (singular/plural issue, ID 1). Suggestion: use 'keen on' and match plural nouns with plural subjects.
× Uh, it's hard to say because sometimes I, I shut feed all of my groups, but I think at the end I would say chat with one person is, might be convenient and uh, prevent from, uh, misunderst.
✓ It's hard to say because sometimes I shut off all of my group feeds, but I think in the end chatting with one person might be more convenient and prevent misunderstandings.
Multiple errors: 'I shut feed all of my groups' is ungrammatical and unclear; corrected to 'I shut off all of my group feeds'. 'Chat with one person is' requires a gerund 'chatting' to be the subject (verb+ -ing issue, ID 8). 'Might be convenient' needs 'more' to compare (comparative context, ID 25) and 'prevent from misunderst' should be 'prevent misunderstandings' (noun form and plural) and remove unnecessary preposition 'from' (preposition issue, ID 11). Suggestion: use clear verbs like 'shut off feeds', use gerunds for activities, and use 'prevent + noun' without 'from'.
× Uh, I would say video call is the greatest thing that we did in the moment we do at the moment. So I think face to face is that's a good choice that we use it.
✓ I would say video calls are the best option for the moments we spend together. So I think face-to-face communication is also a good choice.
Original has article and number errors: 'video call is the greatest thing' is awkward; changed to plural 'video calls are' (singular/plural and article issues, IDs 1 and 17). Removed redundant phrasing 'in the moment we do at the moment'. 'Face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face' when used as an adjective and 'communication' clarifies the noun; removed unnecessary 'it'. Suggestion: prefer concise natural phrasing and ensure noun number and article usage are correct.
× Not very. I grew because we are except all of the topic that we talking and we kind of like, uh, support each other. So no matter what that we say, we understand and try to fix together.
✓ Not often. I think we rarely argue because we accept all the topics we talk about and we support each other. So no matter what we say, we understand each other and try to resolve issues together.
Several structural and word choice problems: 'I grew' is incorrect and likely meant 'I guess' (word choice, sentence structure ID 26). 'Except' should be 'accept' (word choice/pronoun issue ID 12) and 'the topic that we talking' needs 'topics we talk about' (tense/present participle issues, IDs 6 and 10). 'Fix together' is informal; 'resolve issues together' is clearer. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions, correct verb forms, and clear collocations like 'talk about', 'accept', 'support', and 'resolve'.
