× Oh yes, I like chatting with friends because I'm good at, I'm good at talking with many people, uh, even following people.
✓ Oh yes, I like chatting with friends because I'm good at talking with many people and following them.
The student used a fragment 'I'm good at, I'm good at talking...' and an unclear phrase 'even following people.' This is a present participle construction issue and sentence structure problem. Combine the repeated phrase and use the gerund 'talking' correctly; change 'following people' to 'following them' to avoid repeating the noun and improve cohesion. Also remove the filler commas to make a fluent sentence.
× I usually chat about, umm, hanging out on or traveling or animals. Uh, uh.
✓ I usually chat about hanging out, traveling, or animals.
The student used unnecessary preposition 'on' and extra fillers. Use parallel gerund forms 'hanging out' and 'traveling' and separate items with commas for correct present habitual tense and parallel structure.
× I prefer to chat with a group of people because, uh, MMM by using group chatting, uh, we could lose your.
✓ I prefer to chat with a group of people because when we use group chat, we can include more people.
Original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear ('we could lose your' makes no sense). This is a sentence structure error. Replace 'by using group chatting' with 'when we use group chat' and clarify the intended meaning ('we can include more people'). Use 'can' for general ability in present tense.
× I prefer to communicate face to face because, uh, in social media we couldn't see each other's face, so we couldn't understand, umm, if. People what people How the.
✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because on social media we can't see each other's faces, so we can't understand how people feel.
Problems: wrong preposition 'in social media' should be 'on social media'; incorrect modal tense 'couldn't' (use present 'can't' to match preference); 'each other's face' should be plural 'faces'; word order and fragments 'if. People what people How the' are incoherent. Reconstruct sentence to express ability to perceive feelings: 'so we can't understand how people feel.'
× Do you argue with Prince? Money should score. Oh my God. Oh no, no, no, I don't. I don't argue with friends anymore.
✓ No, I don't argue with friends anymore.
The student's response includes irrelevant fragments 'Do you argue with Prince? Money should score. Oh my God.' which are unrelated and create sentence structure errors. The clear, grammatically correct answer is 'No, I don't argue with friends anymore.' Use present simple negative to state habitual behavior. Remove unrelated interjections and fragments.
