Chatting— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more fluent and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (umm, yeah) and incorrect grammar. Give one or two specific reasons or examples and keep it under 5 sentences. Use linking words if adding details (because, so).

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends, but only with a few close ones because I prefer deeper conversations. For example, I usually talk for hours with my best friend about studies and hobbies.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear topic sentence and specify examples. Replace vague phrases with concrete topics and use linking words (for example, such as). Keep responses structured and brief.

Ejemplo: We talk about a wide range of topics, such as school, films and future plans. For example, last week we discussed a movie we both watched and then planned a weekend outing.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer followed by a short reason and an example. Avoid repetition and fillers. Use linking words like because and so to make the answer coherent.

Ejemplo: I prefer talking one-on-one because conversations feel more personal and comfortable. For instance, I can share my concerns with a single friend without feeling judged.

Sugerencia: Clarify the preference and correct the contradiction (you said prefer social media but then mentioned face-to-face). Use a clear reason and a brief example. Avoid hesitations and correct grammar (e.g., "I'm a shy person and have social anxiety, so I prefer social media").

Ejemplo: I prefer communicating via social media because I'm shy and have social anxiety, so it's easier for me to express myself online. For example, I usually message friends rather than meet them in person when I feel nervous.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear statement, give a reason or brief context for the example, and end with a short consequence. Reduce fillers and provide specific details (why you argued). Use linking words like "for example" and "as a result."

Ejemplo: Yes, I sometimes argue with friends, but it doesn't happen often because we usually resolve small issues. For example, three months ago we disagreed about plans, and as a result we stopped speaking for a while before apologizing.

× Yeah, I like chatting with the friends.

✓ Yeah, I like chatting with friends.

The definite article 'the' implies specific, identifiable friends. In general statements about people one chats with, no article is needed. Remove 'the' to make it a general statement: 'chatting with friends.' Suggestion: use 'with friends' for general reference.

× I haven't so much friends, so yeah.

✓ I don't have many friends, so yeah.

'I haven't' is informal and incorrect here; use 'I don't have.' 'So much' is used with uncountable nouns; 'friends' is countable plural, so use 'many.' Suggestion: say 'I don't have many friends.'

× Umm, but just somebody, not everyone and.

✓ Umm, but just somebody, not everyone.

The conjunction 'and' at the end is unnecessary and makes the sentence incomplete. Remove the trailing 'and' to complete the thought. Also reordering to 'just somebody, not everyone' is natural. Suggestion: avoid dangling conjunctions at sentence end.

× we are not chat, uh, just same topic.

✓ We don't chat about just the same topic.

'Are not chat' mixes auxiliary 'are' with base verb; use 'do' for simple present negative: 'don't chat.' Also 'just same topic' is ungrammatical; use 'about just the same topic' or 'only the same topics.' Suggestion: use 'We don't chat about just the same topic.'

× we're talking about everything, like really everything.

✓ We're talking about everything, really everything.

This sentence is mostly fine but 'like' is redundant in formal correction. Removing 'like' makes it clearer. 'Talking about everything' is correct present continuous for habitual/perhaps current conversation. Suggestion: prefer 'We're talking about everything, really everything.'

× So I don't tell you just one thing.

✓ So I can't tell you just one thing.

'Don't tell you' is present simple negative but the intended meaning is inability to choose one topic, so use 'can't tell you' to express inability. Also word order: 'tell you just one thing' is okay but needs 'can't.' Suggestion: 'I can't tell you just one thing.'

× Absolutely only one friend because already I don't have much friends so I like just MMM. Chat with the only one friend, Yeah.

✓ Absolutely only one friend because I don't have many friends, so I like to chat with just one friend.

'Much friends' is incorrect; use 'many friends' for countable nouns. 'Chat with the only one friend' is awkward; use 'chat with just one friend.' Remove filler words and fix verb infinitive: 'like to chat.' Suggestion: 'I like to chat with just one friend.'

× Absolutely, I prefer to communicate with uh with via social media because I'm shy person and I have a social anxiety so.

✓ Absolutely, I prefer to communicate via social media because I'm a shy person and I have social anxiety.

Use 'communicate via social media' (not 'with via'). 'A shy person' needs the indefinite article 'a.' 'Social anxiety' is uncountable here, so omit 'a.' Also trailing 'so' is incomplete and should be removed or completed. Suggestion: 'I prefer to communicate via social media because I'm a shy person and I have social anxiety.'

× I want do the face to face things.

✓ I want to do face-to-face things.

After 'want' the infinitive 'to do' is required. 'Face-to-face' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective when before a noun. 'The' is unnecessary before plural abstract 'things.' Suggestion: 'I want to do face-to-face things.'

× Yeah, I argue with my friends, but not much.

✓ Yeah, I argue with my friends, but not often.

'Not much' is colloquial and usually modifies quantity; 'not often' is the better adverbial phrase for frequency. The present simple 'I argue' is acceptable to indicate habitual action. Suggestion: use 'not often' or 'rarely.'

× Umm, for example, I had an argument with a friend three or four months ago and we don't talk with each other anymore.

✓ Umm, for example, I had an argument with a friend three or four months ago and we don't talk to each other anymore.

'Don't talk with each other anymore' is understandable but the common collocation is 'talk to each other.' The past event 'had an argument ... ago' is correct; the present state 'we don't talk to each other anymore' correctly uses present simple to describe current situation. Suggestion: use 'talk to each other' for the verb-preposition collocation.
