Chatting— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g., "gossip" twice) and incorrect phrasing ("from others life").

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy chatting with friends. I usually call them to catch up on their news because it helps me stay connected and learn from their experiences.

Sugestão: Organize the answer: give a topic sentence, then two specific examples with linking words. Correct grammar (subject-verb agreement, remove repeated words) and prefer precise vocabulary ("courses" not "course" if plural).

Exemplo: I usually talk about personal updates and practical matters. For example, she often tells me about new courses she's taking, which can inspire me to learn new skills, and we sometimes discuss investment options together.

Sugestão: Good structure and contrast. Improve naturalness and grammar: use linking words ("however"), correct phrases ("listen to me"), and avoid colloquial contractions like "gonna" in formal test. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: It depends on the situation. At events I prefer chatting in a group, however when I need to share personal feelings I call my best friend because she listens to me and gives thoughtful advice.

Sugestão: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then give two concise reasons using linking words. Avoid hesitation fillers ("uh") and incomplete sentences. Explain briefly when social media might be useful to balance your answer.

Exemplo: I prefer face-to-face communication because you can see facial expressions and better understand emotions. However, social media is useful for quick messages or when meeting in person isn't possible.

Sugestão: Good idea to mention that arguments can be healthy. Make sentences grammatically correct, avoid fillers, and use linking words to explain why. Give a brief example of a recent benign argument to add specificity.

Exemplo: Yes, we sometimes argue when our opinions differ, but these debates are usually healthy because they help us understand each other. For instance, we recently disagreed about budgeting, and discussing it helped us decide how to share expenses.

× Yes I do like chit chatting with friends and usually I call them and I ask what's the gossip, new gossip going on and it's my favorite pastime.

✓ Yes, I like chit-chatting with friends. I usually call them and ask what's the new gossip going on; it's my favorite pastime.

The phrase 'do like chit chatting' is awkward; use simple present 'like chit-chatting' with the gerund after like (verb + -ing). Also add commas and contractions removed for clarity and use parallel structure: 'I usually call them and ask' rather than 'I call them and I ask'. Use 'new gossip' rather than repeating 'gossip'. Suggestion: Use 'I like + gerund' for hobbies and keep clauses parallel.

× It gives you knowledge about what's going on in their life to gain experience from others life as well.

✓ It gives you knowledge about what's going on in their lives and helps you gain experience from others' lives as well.

Use plural 'lives' for 'their life' when referring to multiple people. Use 'helps you gain' for clearer infinitive structure and possessive apostrophe 'others' -> 'others'' to show possession. Also connect ideas with 'and' for clarity.

× Whenever I call my best friends, we usually chat about what's going on in her life and what's the news, is there anything special going on?

✓ Whenever I call my best friend, we usually chat about what's going on in her life and what's new; is there anything special happening?

Use singular 'best friend' if referring to one person; the student used 'my best friends' then 'her life' which is inconsistent. 'What's the news' is fine but 'anything special going on' is better as 'anything special happening' for natural present continuous. Keep subject number consistent.

× Is she has joined any new course which helps me to improve my life as well?

✓ Has she joined any new course that could help me improve my life as well?

Do not use 'is' with 'has' in question formation; form present perfect question 'Has she joined...?' Also use 'that' instead of 'which' for defining relative clauses here and 'could help me improve' is more natural. Suggestion: For present perfect questions use 'Has/Have + subject + past participle'.

× Where to invest?

✓ Where should I invest?

This fragment lacks a subject and auxiliary verb. Turn it into a full question using modal 'should' to ask for advice: 'Where should I invest?'. Suggestion: Use subject and auxiliary in questions.

× We we take decisions together and it's helpful.

✓ We make decisions together, and it's helpful.

Duplicate 'we' is an error. Use 'make decisions' rather than 'take decisions' (both are used, but 'make decisions' is more common in this context). Add a comma before the coordinating conjunction for clarity.

× It totally depends on the situation.

✓ It totally depends on the situation.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. (Included to show checked; no error per list.)

× If I am in an event, I prefer to chat with a group of people.

✓ If I am at an event, I prefer to chat with a group of people.

Use preposition 'at' with 'event' rather than 'in'. 'In an event' is less natural. This is a preposition choice, categorized under pronoun/preposition types: here corrected as preposition usage.

× But if I want to share my personal experiences or my emotions, I would definitely try to call my best friend who's gonna give me solution of my emotions and my problems and will listen me properly.

✓ But if I want to share my personal experiences or emotions, I would definitely call my best friend, who will give me solutions to my problems and listen to me properly.

Use 'call' instead of 'try to call' for clarity. 'Gonna' is informal; use 'will'. 'Give me solution of my emotions' is incorrect—use 'give me solutions to my problems' and 'listen to me' requires the preposition 'to'. 'My emotions' repeated unnecessarily; simplify to 'emotions'. Suggestion: Use 'listen to someone' and 'solutions to problems'.

× I feel personal touch or in person meeting is more valuable and more efficient than contacting through social media where you can feel the emotion, you can, uh, see the expression of other person and you can live in that moment.

✓ I feel personal contact or meeting in person is more valuable and more effective than contacting people through social media, because you can feel emotion, see the other person's expression, and live in the moment.

Change 'personal touch or in person meeting' to 'personal contact or meeting in person' for parallel structure. Use 'effective' instead of 'efficient' for interpersonal quality. Add 'people' after 'contacting' and correct 'other person' to 'other person's'. Remove filler 'uh' and make verb list parallel: 'feel', 'see', 'live'. Suggestion: Keep parallel verbs and use possessive form for 'other person's expression'.

× But social media is just.

✓ But social media is different for that purpose.

Original is a sentence fragment. Complete the thought; here suggest 'different for that purpose' or 'useful in other ways' depending on intended meaning. Sentence fragments without verbs are errors (type 23), corrected to full sentence.

× Yes, I do argue with my friends if we are different people and if our opinion umm don't match with each other.

✓ Yes, I do argue with my friends if we are different and if our opinions don't match each other.

Use plural 'opinions' to match multiple people and use 'don't' with plural subject. Remove filler 'umm'. 'If we are different people' can be simplified to 'if we are different'. Suggestion: Ensure subject and verb agree in number.

× We had an argument and it's a healthy argument to debate about something, what is good and what is bad and I feel it is necessary to have in a relationship.

✓ We may have an argument, and it's a healthy debate about what is good and what is bad; I feel it's necessary in a relationship.

Original mixes past 'had' with general statement; use modal 'may have' or present 'have' for habitual situations. 'Debate about something, what is good and what is bad' is wordy; simplify to 'a healthy debate about what is good and what is bad'. Use contraction 'it's' and remove 'to have' at end for brevity. Suggestion: Use present tense for general truths and keep clauses concise.
