Chatting— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Clarify and finish sentences, avoid fragments, and be more concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Fix incomplete comparisons and use correct grammar (e.g., “but personal experience” is a fragment).

Example: Yes, I do. I particularly enjoy chatting with close friends who have broad perspectives because I can learn new things from their experiences. For example, a friend who travels often shares practical tips I wouldn’t find online, so our conversations feel both informative and personal.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and use linking words to connect ideas. Be specific about topics and provide examples. Correct grammar and complete sentences (e.g., ‘friends who share common hobbies’). Limit to around 2–4 sentences.

Example: We usually talk about our shared hobbies and practical discoveries. For instance, friends who enjoy cooking and I exchange recipes and reviews of new kitchen tools, and I also discuss books with a friend who reads a lot, so we recommend titles to each other.

Suggestion: Good clear answer and relevant detail. Improve by using correct word forms and a linking phrase to explain why. Add a brief example to support your preference.

Example: I prefer chatting with one or two friends because I’m an introvert and enjoy deeper conversations. For example, in a small group I feel comfortable discussing personal topics and getting thoughtful feedback.

Suggestion: This is a good balanced answer. Make it more natural by using contractions correctly and a linking phrase to compare both modes. Provide a concrete example showing when you choose each method.

Example: I prefer face-to-face meetings because they allow richer, nonverbal communication, but I also use social media when distance prevents meeting in person. For example, I video-call a distant friend for long discussions and meet local friends in person for coffee.

Suggestion: The answer is confusing and self-contradictory. Start with a clear direct response (Yes or No), then explain briefly with reasons and an example. Avoid contradictory phrases and fix grammar (e.g., tense and subject-verb agreement).

Example: Not usually. I enjoy discussing different opinions with friends because it broadens my perspective, but we try to keep debates friendly so they don’t become personal. For instance, we once had a heated discussion about politics but agreed to disagree and stayed friends.

× I do, especially I enjoy talking with my close friends who have broader perspectives because I can always learn something new from them. Today we have access to so much information on the Internet, but personal experience.

✓ I do, especially I enjoy talking with my close friends who have broader perspectives because I can always learn something new from them. Today we have access to so much information on the Internet, but personal experience is still valuable.

Missing verb in the second sentence: 'personal experience' needs a linking verb to complete the clause. Add 'is still valuable' to make a complete sentence and contrast properly with the preceding clause.

× We cover a wide range of topics, but with friends who have the common hobbies.

✓ We cover a wide range of topics, especially with friends who share common hobbies.

Incorrect or awkward preposition phrase 'but with friends who have the common hobbies.' Use 'especially with' to show emphasis and 'share common hobbies' is the natural collocation.

× We always exchange information about new products and new ideas that we have tried. I also enjoy conversation with somebody who read a lot of books and we exchange.

✓ We always exchange information about new products and new ideas that we have tried. I also enjoy conversations with someone who reads a lot of books, and we exchange ideas.

Pronoun and noun number issues and tense agreement: 'conversation' should be plural 'conversations' to match habitual action; 'somebody' is acceptable but 'someone' is more natural; 'read' should be present simple 'reads' for habitual action; add 'ideas' to complete 'exchange' and make sentence grammatical.

× Since I'm introvert, I enjoy deep conversation with one or two friends.

✓ Since I'm introverted, I enjoy deep conversations with one or two friends.

Use adjective 'introverted' (not noun 'introvert') to describe the speaker; 'conversation' should be plural 'conversations' for habitual situations.

× I don't mind talking something personal, but I feel more comfortable in a smaller group.

✓ I don't mind talking about something personal, but I feel more comfortable in a smaller group.

Missing preposition 'about' after 'talking' is required to link to the object 'something personal.' This is a prepositional usage that affects the pronoun structure of the verb phrase.

× I prefer to have a face to face meeting, but I don't mind social media either as long as I can have deep conversation and exchange insightful ideas and personal experiences.

✓ I prefer to have a face-to-face meeting, but I don't mind social media either as long as I can have deep conversations and exchange insightful ideas and personal experiences.

Hyphenation for 'face-to-face' and plural 'conversations' for habitual or general ability are needed. Using plural conveys repeated or extended interactions.

× No, I really argue with my friends, probably because I enjoy different opinions even though they are completely opposite of mine because it broadened my perspectives and sometimes I don't like.

✓ No, I don't really argue with my friends; probably because I enjoy different opinions even when they are completely opposite to mine, they broaden my perspective, and sometimes I disagree.

Multiple issues: negative verb missing 'don't' for intended meaning; 'opposite of mine' -> 'opposite to mine'; 'broadened' should be present simple 'broaden' (general statement); sentence was fragmented and unclear so restructure with semicolon and commas, and replace 'I don't like' with 'I disagree' to be clear. Also 'perspective' is usually singular in this context.
