× Yeah, I enjoyed chatting with my friends when I have a drinking at the bars, uh, because, uh, it feels relax, it make it makes me feel relaxed and uh umm, I can uh, how can I say?
✓ Yeah, I enjoy chatting with my friends when I have a drink at bars, because it feels relaxing and it makes me feel relaxed.
The student mixed past and present tenses. The question asks about a general preference, so present simple should be used (enjoy, have). 'Have a drinking' is incorrect; use 'have a drink'. 'Feels relax' is wrong word form; use adjective or gerund: 'feels relaxing' or 'makes me feel relaxed'. Also redundant phrases were removed to improve clarity. Grammar problem type id: 5
× I usually chat about what I've done or what they've done recently, like a story about the travel, story about work, recent work or other friends, what to say now with others.
✓ I usually chat about what I've done or what my friends have done recently, like travel stories, work stories, or things about other friends.
The sentence used contractions and unclear pronoun reference 'they' for friends; make it explicit: 'my friends have done'. 'A story about the travel' is unidiomatic; use 'travel stories'. Simplify list and maintain present perfect for recent experiences. Grammar problem type id: 6
× Yeah, I prefer chat with, uh, only one friend. I found it difficult to speak to talk with a lot of people. Uh yeah, it's, it's easy for me to speak only one people.
✓ Yeah, I prefer to chat with only one friend. I find it difficult to talk with a lot of people. It's easier for me to speak with just one person.
Use infinitive after 'prefer' (prefer to chat). Verb tense should be present simple for habitual preference (find). 'Only one people' mixes singular/plural; use 'one person'. Also use comparative 'easier' when comparing situations. Grammar problem type id: 2
× Yeah, I prefer communicate face to face because it's more natural for me and, uh, it's easy. I found it easy to communicate face to face. Social media is kind of a lie.
✓ Yeah, I prefer to communicate face to face because it's more natural for me and easier. I find it easy to communicate in person. Social media feels less genuine.
Use infinitive after 'prefer' (prefer to communicate). Maintain present simple for general preference (find). 'Face to face' can be rephrased as 'in person' for naturalness. 'Social media is kind of a lie' is informal and absolute; rephrase to 'feels less genuine' to convey intended meaning. Grammar problem type id: 8
× Yeah, sometimes I argue with friends because we are different people and umm, sometimes happens. We are different, we have different opinions. So it it leads me.
✓ Yeah, sometimes I argue with friends because we are different people and sometimes disagreements happen. We have different opinions, which can lead to arguments.
Original had fragmented sentences and unclear phrase 'sometimes happens' and 'So it it leads me'. Recast into clear sentences: 'disagreements happen' and 'which can lead to arguments'. This fixes sentence structure and clarity. Grammar problem type id: 26
