Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?

I refer speak with a friend rather than a read group of people because we can focus on the story and we can have a deep talk about the topic. When there are too many people we can discuss this closely.

× Chatting with friends give me a wonderful time about how I can express myself to my friend.
✓ Chatting with friends gives me a wonderful opportunity to express myself to my friends.
Subject 'Chatting' is a singular gerund subject and requires singular verb 'gives' (subject-verb agreement). 'A wonderful time about how' is unnatural; use 'a wonderful opportunity to' and pluralize 'friend' to 'friends' to match 'friends' earlier. Suggestion: Use singular verb with gerund subjects and choose clearer nouns (opportunity) and consistent plurality.
× For example, yesterday I feel upset at work, so I call my friend and tell her on about that.
✓ For example, yesterday I felt upset at work, so I called my friend and told her about it.
The sentence refers to a past event ('yesterday') so past tense verbs are required: 'feel' -> 'felt', 'call' -> 'called', 'tell' -> 'told'. Remove the extraneous preposition 'on' and use 'about it' for clarity. Suggestion: Use past tense consistently for past time markers.
× After that I feel much better.
✓ After that I felt much better.
The action happened in the past, so the past tense 'felt' should be used instead of present 'feel'. Suggestion: Match verb tense to the time frame indicated.
× Well, I normally talk about all of the topic with my friend, family, working children and parenting.
✓ Well, I normally talk about all of the topics related to friends, family, work, children, and parenting.
'All of the topic' is incorrect; use 'all of the topics' or 'all the topics'. Also the list items were unclear: 'working children' is incorrect; replace with 'work' and separate items clearly. Use parallel nouns in a list. Suggestion: Use plural 'topics' and ensure list items are parallel and accurate.
× A big master with me now, uh, for example, I always share with my friend about how to, umm, parent, be a good parenting.
✓ For example, I always share with my friends about how to be good parents.
Original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear ('A big master with me now' makes no sense). 'Be a good parenting' is incorrect; 'parenting' is a noun, but the intended meaning is 'be good parents' or 'practice good parenting'. Use plural 'friends' to match context and simplify the structure. Suggestion: Remove irrelevant fragments and use clear subject-verb structure: 'I always share with my friends how to be good parents.'
× I refer speak with a friend rather than a read group of people because we can focus on the story and we can have a deep talk about the topic.
✓ I prefer speaking with a friend rather than a large group of people because we can focus on the story and have a deeper discussion about the topic.
Multiple issues: 'I refer speak' should be 'I prefer speaking' (word choice and form). 'Read group' is incorrect—likely 'large group'. 'Have a deep talk' is awkward; use 'have a deeper discussion'. Pronouns/phrasing adjusted for clarity. Suggestion: Use correct verbs ('prefer'), gerund form after preference ('prefer speaking'), and appropriate adjectives ('large', 'deeper').
× When there are too many people we can discuss this closely.
✓ When there are too many people, we cannot discuss it closely.
Logical meaning: too many people prevents close discussion, so use negative modal. Also include comma after the subordinate clause. 'Discuss this closely' is awkward; 'discuss it closely' or 'have a close discussion' is better. Suggestion: Ensure conjunctions and logical connectors reflect intended meaning; add punctuation for clarity.
× Well, it's depend on the situation, uh, if I was too busy, I refer using social media such as umm Viber, WeChat or FaceTime to talk with my friend while I can doing my household chores or something like looking after my children, umm.
✓ Well, it depends on the situation. If I am too busy, I prefer using social media such as Viber, WeChat or FaceTime to talk with my friends while I do my household chores or look after my children.
Use present tense 'depends' for a general statement. 'If I was too busy' should be 'if I am too busy' for hypothetical present/future situations. 'I refer' -> 'I prefer' and use gerund 'using'. 'I can doing' is incorrect; use 'I do' or 'while doing'. Ensure plural 'friends'. Suggestion: Use correct present tense and verb forms after modal constructions; keep consistent person and number.
× Yes, of course it is very common. We often ask you, but to make us better, not in a negative way, you know, argue to tell your friend that your opinion, what do you think or and vice versa, so we can help each other improve ourself.
✓ Yes, of course. It is very common. We often argue, but to help each other improve, not in a negative way. Arguing lets you tell your friend your opinion and ask 'what do you think', and vice versa, so we can help each other improve ourselves.
Sentence had many problems: 'We often ask you' is wrong; 'argue' should be a noun or present verb 'We often argue'. Clarify purpose 'to help each other improve'. 'Argue to tell your friend that your opinion' -> 'arguing lets you tell your friend your opinion'. Pronoun 'ourself' incorrect; use plural reflexive 'ourselves'. Suggestion: Use correct verb forms for habitual actions, structure sentences into clearer clauses, and use correct reflexive pronouns.
