Chatting— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Reduce repetition, correct small grammar slips, and make the response slightly more specific. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two supporting details linked logically. Avoid repeating words and check small errors like double 'to' and 'their'.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends. I usually use WeChat because it’s widely used here, and it helps me stay updated about their recent lives. It’s convenient, and we often use video calls to talk face-to-face when we’re busy.

Gợi ý: Be more precise and correct grammar and word choice. Use linking words to show sequence or reason, and avoid vague phrases like 'check about'. Provide one concrete example of a topic to make it specific.

Ví dụ: Lately I usually discuss parenting tips and challenges related to raising children. For example, we share advice on sleep routines and discipline strategies, and because we support each other, I feel more relaxed after sharing my experiences.

Gợi ý: Remove repeated words, tighten the structure, and use clearer linking words (e.g., 'however', 'because'). Give one brief reason for each preference to show contrast clearly.

Ví dụ: It depends on the situation. At parties I prefer chatting with a group because it helps me socialize and avoid feeling lonely. However, in daily life I usually prefer talking with one friend because I can have a deeper, more meaningful conversation.

Gợi ý: Clarify and complete the thought, avoid repetition, and correct grammar (e.g., 'fast-paced lives'). Use linking words to contrast convenience of social media with the benefits of face-to-face meetings and finish the final sentence fully.

Ví dụ: I prefer face-to-face communication because, although we live fast-paced lives and can’t meet often, meeting in person feels more meaningful. When we do have time, we like to hang out at a restaurant and catch up properly, which social media can’t fully replace.

Gợi ý: Improve grammar (subject-verb agreement and tense), be specific about how conflicts are resolved, and use linking words to show consequence (e.g., 'therefore', 'so'). Finish the final clause clearly.

Ví dụ: Yes, arguments happen sometimes because we have different opinions on various matters. When that happens, I usually ask my friend to explain their point of view, and then we discuss calmly until we reach a solution.

× WeChat is widely used in China, so I often use it to to stay in touch with my friends and catch on their their recent lives.

✓ WeChat is widely used in China, so I often use it to stay in touch with my friends and catch up on their recent lives.

This sentence contains repeated words ('to to' and 'their their') which are typographical/lexical errors causing awkwardness and confusion. Also 'catch on' is incorrect collocation; the correct phrasal verb is 'catch up on' meaning to learn about someone's recent life. Suggestion: remove duplicated words and use the correct phrasal verb 'catch up on'.

× It's quite convenient. We can video.

✓ It's quite convenient. We can video call.

'We can video' is incomplete because 'video' here is used as a noun or verb incorrectly. The intended meaning is 'video call' (compound noun/verb). Suggestion: use 'video call' as a verb phrase or 'have a video call' to make a complete, natural sentence.

× These days I usually check about parenting tips and and the challenges we face when dealing with our children.

✓ These days I usually look up parenting tips and the challenges we face when dealing with our children.

'Check about' is not the correct verb-preposition collocation. Use 'look up' or 'check' without 'about' depending on context. Also there is a duplicated word 'and and'. Suggestion: replace 'check about' with 'look up' and remove duplication.

× We exchange a wise and support one another.

✓ We exchange advice and support one another.

'A wise' is incorrect because 'wise' is an adjective and cannot stand alone here; the intended noun is 'advice' or 'wise words'. 'Support' should be a verb 'support one another' is correct but needs parallel structure with 'exchange advice'. Suggestion: use parallel noun phrase 'exchange advice and support one another.'

× I feel relaxed after sharing my experience.

✓ I feel relaxed after sharing my experiences.

Grammatically this sentence is acceptable, but 'experience' in this context is usually plural ('experiences') when referring to multiple events or stories. Suggestion: use plural to sound more natural.

× At parties I prefer I prefer chatting with a group because it if it helps me socialize and avoid feeling lonely.

✓ At parties I prefer chatting with a group because it helps me socialize and prevents me from feeling lonely.

Sentence contains duplicated phrase 'I prefer I prefer' and an extra 'if it'. Also 'avoid feeling lonely' needs a subject ('prevents me from'). Suggestion: remove duplications and make verbs agree with the subject: 'it helps me socialize and prevents me from feeling lonely.'

× But in daily life I usually prefer talking with one friend so I can have deeper conversation.

✓ But in daily life I usually prefer talking with one friend so I can have a deeper conversation.

The noun 'conversation' requires an article in this context: 'a deeper conversation.' Suggestion: add the indefinite article 'a' before 'deeper conversation.'

× I prefer face to face communication because we all have a fast pace.

✓ I prefer face-to-face communication because we all live at a fast pace.

'Face to face' should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face' when used as an adjective. 'Have a fast pace' is not the usual collocation for people; use 'live at a fast pace.' Suggestion: hyphenate 'face-to-face' and use 'live at a fast pace.'

× We all live a fast-paced lives and it's difficult for us to meet each other regularly.

✓ We all live fast-paced lives and it's difficult for us to meet each other regularly.

Mixing singular article 'a' with plural 'lives' is incorrect. Either 'live a fast-paced life' (singular) or 'live fast-paced lives' (plural) works. Suggestion: match number between article and noun; here use 'fast-paced lives.'

× So when we have time we like to hang out, eat in restaurant and have.

✓ So when we have time we like to hang out, eat in restaurants and relax together.

The original sentence ends abruptly with 'and have.' Also 'eat in restaurant' needs plural or article: 'eat in restaurants' or 'eat in a restaurant.' Suggestion: complete the list with a final activity (e.g., 'relax together') and fix the noun phrase to 'eat in restaurants.'

× When that happen, I often ask them to explain their point of view and we can solve.

✓ When that happens, I often ask them to explain their point of view and we can resolve it.

'That happen' needs third-person singular agreement 'that happens.' 'We can solve' is incomplete; 'solve it' or 'resolve it' is needed to specify the object. Suggestion: correct subject-verb agreement and add the object 'it' after 'solve' or use 'resolve it.'
