Chatting— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more direct and fluent. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler sounds (umm, yeah) and correct grammar (e.g., "I don't have many friends"). Add one brief reason to support your answer. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends, but only with a few close ones. I prefer deep, meaningful conversations rather than small talk because I find them more rewarding.

Sugestão: Give a clear topic sentence and then give 1–2 specific examples. Use linking words (for example, sometimes, usually) and correct phrasing ("we talk about everything"). Avoid vague phrases and fillers.

Exemplo: We usually talk about many different things. For example, we discuss school, movies we have watched, and our future plans.

Sugestão: Answer directly and give a concise reason. Replace fillers and improve grammar ("I don't have many friends" → "I don't have many friends, so I prefer one-on-one chats"). Limit to 2 sentences.

Exemplo: I prefer chatting with only one friend because I feel more comfortable and the conversation is more personal. In groups I often feel left out or anxious.

Sugestão: Clarify and correct the contradiction: you said you prefer social media but then implied you want face-to-face. Be consistent: state your preference and give a reason, using correct grammar ("I'm a shy person and have social anxiety, so I prefer social media"). Avoid stuttering and keep it to 2 sentences.

Exemplo: I prefer communicating via social media because I'm a shy person and have social anxiety, which makes face-to-face conversation difficult. Online I can think before I reply and feel less pressured.

Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence and give a specific brief example. Improve grammar ("we don't talk to each other anymore"). Use a linking word to connect idea (for example). Keep it concise and avoid fillers.

Exemplo: Yes, I do argue with my friends occasionally, but it doesn't happen often. For example, three or four months ago I had a disagreement with a friend and we stopped talking for a while.

× Yeah, I like chatting with the friends.

✓ Yeah, I like chatting with friends.

Use of the definite article 'the' is incorrect because 'friends' is a general plural noun here. Omit the article to refer to friends in general. Suggestion: remove 'the' when speaking about people in general.

× I haven't so much friends, so yeah.

✓ I don't have many friends, so yeah.

The phrase 'haven't so much friends' is ungrammatical. For countable plural nouns use 'many' with negative statements and use 'do not have' rather than 'haven't' in this context. Suggestion: use 'I don't have many friends.'

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

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

Original mixes present continuous and incorrect negation. For habitual action use simple present 'don't usually chat' and correct preposition 'about'. Suggestion: use 'We don't usually chat about the same topic.'

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

✓ We talk about everything, really everything.

Both 'we're talking' (present continuous) and 'we talk' can work; however, when describing habits use simple present. Removing auxiliary gives clearer habitual meaning. Suggestion: use simple present for regular activities.

× So I don't tell you just one thing.

✓ So I can't tell you just one thing.

'I don't tell you' is incorrect for expressing inability to select one topic. Use 'can't' (modal verb) to indicate inability. Suggestion: say '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.

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

Multiple issues: awkward word order 'already' is unnecessary, 'much friends' should be 'many friends', and sentence needs completion. Reorder to logical English and use 'one person' to clarify. Suggestion: simplify and correct quantifier and word order.

× Chat with the only one friend, Yeah.

✓ Chat with just one friend, yeah.

Word order and article use are incorrect: 'the only one friend' should be 'just one friend' or 'the only friend'. Use casual 'just one friend' for preference. Suggestion: '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.

Multiple article errors: remove extra preposition 'with', add indefinite article 'a' before 'shy person', and omit 'a' before 'social anxiety' because 'social anxiety' is an uncountable noun. Also simplify phrasing. Suggestion: 'I'm a shy person and I have social anxiety.'

× I want do the face to face things.

✓ I don't want to do face-to-face things.

Missing auxiliary and wrong word order: for negative preference use 'don't want to', and 'face-to-face' should be hyphenated adjective; omit 'the'. Suggestion: 'I don't want to do face-to-face things.'

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

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

Stylistic: 'Yeah' to 'Yes' optional; 'not much' is informal and 'not often' is more natural when referring to frequency. No tense error if meaning present habitual; keep present simple. Suggestion: 'Yes, I argue with my friends, but not often.'

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

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

Main clause uses past tense correctly ('had an argument'). Preposition with 'talk' should be 'talk to each other' not 'talk with each other' (both exist but 'talk to' is more common here). Keep present simple for current state 'we don't talk to each other anymore.' Suggestion: use 'talk to each other' and remove filler words.
