× Cup of tea as after our university we friends will get hardly time to spend with each other.
✓ We usually have a cup of tea because after university we hardly get time to spend with each other.
The original sentence has incorrect word order and unclear connectors. 'Cup of tea as' is not natural; use a clause like 'We usually have a cup of tea because'. 'we friends' should be 'we' or 'we, as friends,' and 'will get hardly time' is incorrect word order; 'hardly get time' is correct. Reorder the sentence into a clear subject + verb + reason structure. Suggestion: Keep subject first, then verb, then adverbial phrases (e.g., 'We usually have a cup of tea because after university we hardly get time to spend together').
× So I always believe that spending uh, quality time with them and making memories help us to uh, like gain, uh, like, uh, feel nostalgic in future, Yeah.
✓ I always believe that spending quality time with them and making memories helps us to feel nostalgic in the future.
Subject-verb agreement and tense consistency: the gerund phrase 'spending... and making...' acts as a singular idea that requires 'helps' not 'help'. 'Gain feel nostalgic' is ungrammatical; use 'feel nostalgic'. Add the definite article 'the' before 'future' for natural phrasing. Remove filler words for clarity. Suggestion: Use singular verb 'helps' with the combined activity and a simple verb phrase 'to feel nostalgic in the future'.
× Umm, it actually depends on the situation, Like if we are having academics, uh, then we chat on that topic or on a like, uh, if we are doing any research, we used to chat on that.
✓ It actually depends on the situation. If we are studying academics, we chat about that topic, or if we are doing research, we chat about it.
Tense and collocation errors: 'having academics' is unnatural; use 'studying' or 'attending classes'. 'Chat on' should be 'chat about'. 'Used to chat on that' implies past habit; present continuous or simple present is better: 'we chat about it'. Remove fillers and keep consistent present tense. Suggestion: Use 'chat about' and maintain present tense for habitual actions ('we chat').
× Or if we are free and, uh, just spending leisure time with each other. So then we usually talk about personal lives and, uh, what kind of things they like to eat or something like that.
✓ If we are free and just spending leisure time together, we usually talk about our personal lives and the kinds of things we like to eat.
Preposition and pronoun clarity: 'with each other' can be simplified to 'together'. 'Personal lives' is fine but 'what kind of things they like to eat' shifts pronoun to 'they' which is unclear; keep it first person plural 'we'. 'Kind of things' should be 'kinds of things' for plurality. Suggestion: Use consistent pronouns and 'kinds of' for plural references ('the kinds of things we like to eat').
× Like, I prefer chatting with only my one best friend because discussing, uh, with many people, like it is kind of thing that we cannot, uh, have a connection, same connection with all of them.
✓ I prefer chatting with only my one best friend because when I discuss with many people, I cannot have the same level of connection with all of them.
Adjective/adverb and word choice: 'it is kind of thing that' is ungrammatical and colloquial. Use 'I cannot have the same level of connection' to express meaning clearly. 'Discussing with many people' needs a subject and proper verb form. Remove fillers and improve noun phrase 'same level of connection'. Suggestion: Use clear noun phrases like 'the same level of connection' and a full clause structure ('when I discuss with many people, I cannot...').
× Uh, like I am a kind of introvert person, so I cannot open easily, uh, with many people.
✓ I am an introverted person, so I cannot open up easily with many people.
Pronoun and word choice: 'a kind of introvert person' is awkward; use 'an introverted person'. The verb phrase should be 'open up' not 'open'. 'Easily' placement is corrected after 'open up'. Suggestion: Use standard adjective form 'introverted' and the phrasal verb 'open up' for expressing emotional openness.
