× Yes, I'm really enjoy talking with my friends, especially to those who currently living in my hometown and umm, I cannot thank you enough that the modern technology because it allow us to stay connected and catch up with each other regularly with our meeting in each other in person.
✓ Yes, I really enjoy talking with my friends, especially those who currently live in my hometown, and I cannot thank modern technology enough because it allows us to stay connected and catch up with each other regularly even when we cannot meet in person.
Errors: incorrect use of continuous present 'I'm really enjoy' and present participle 'living'; wrong word order 'thank you enough that the modern technology'; subject-verb agreement 'allow'. Reason: 'enjoy' is a stative verb used in simple present, so 'I really enjoy' is correct; 'currently live' is simple present for habitual/state; 'thank modern technology enough' is the correct collocation; 'technology' is singular so verb must be 'allows'. Suggestion: Use simple present for habits and stative verbs, ensure subject and verb agree, and use correct collocations ('thank X enough', 'meet in person').
× Yeah, when we talk we usually talk about how our day went at school and work and sometime when we're feeling trashed or happy we also discussed about our emotions as well.
✓ Yeah, when we talk we usually talk about how our day went at school and work, and sometimes when we're feeling stressed or happy we also discuss our emotions.
Errors: 'sometime' should be 'sometimes' (adverb of frequency); 'trashed' is incorrect word choice — likely 'stressed'; 'discussed' is past tense while surrounding context is present habitual. Reason: Maintain consistent present tense for habitual actions; use correct adverb form and vocabulary. Suggestion: Use 'sometimes' for frequency, 'stressed' for feeling overwhelmed, and 'discuss' (simple present) for regular actions.
× Because we I believe we are good friends and we need to support each other mentality and also umm.
✓ Because I believe we are good friends and we need to support each other's mental well-being.
Errors: word order 'we I believe' and incorrect phrase 'support each other mentality'. Reason: Place 'I believe' correctly and use possessive and noun phrase 'each other's mental well-being' or 'each other's mentality' to express mutual support. Suggestion: Use 'each other's' + noun and reorder clause to read smoothly.
× If it personal information, I would prefer one to one conversation because I feel safe to address my feeling and my thoughts.
✓ If it is personal information, I would prefer a one-to-one conversation because I feel safe addressing my feelings and my thoughts.
Errors: missing verb 'is', missing article 'a' before 'one-to-one conversation', awkward infinitive 'to address my feeling' and singular 'feeling'. Reason: Include 'is' in 'if it is ...', use article before countable noun, use gerund 'addressing' after 'feel safe', and plural 'feelings'. Suggestion: Add 'is', use 'a', prefer 'one-to-one', and pluralize 'feelings'.
× But if it work related, I will prefer talking to a group because I don't have to repeat myself so many time by sending uh individual message to each of the team members.
✓ But if it's work-related, I prefer talking to a group because I don't have to repeat myself so many times by sending individual messages to each team member.
Errors: missing 'it's', hyphenation 'work-related', 'will prefer' awkward for general preference, 'time' should be 'times', 'individual message' should be plural 'messages', and 'each of the team members' awkward. Reason: Use contraction or 'it is', hyphenate compound adjective, use simple present for habitual preference, plural nouns for repeated actions. Suggestion: Say 'I prefer', 'so many times', 'individual messages', and 'each team member'.
× Wow, I always prefer face to face communication because it's allow me to see the other person facial at presence and body language would make the conversation more Naruto and authentic.
✓ Wow, I always prefer face-to-face communication because it allows me to see the other person's facial expressions and body language, which make the conversation more natural and authentic.
Errors: 'it's allow' subject-verb disagreement; 'facial at presence' incorrect phrase; 'would make' inconsistent modality; 'Naruto' wrong word for 'natural'. Reason: 'it' (singular) requires 'allows'; use 'facial expressions' and possessive 'other person's'; use present for general truth 'which make', and correct word 'natural'. Suggestion: Use 'allows', 'facial expressions', and 'natural'.
× But for instance by talking to if I talk to all my best friend when she not happy, it's easier for me to understand what she's trying to tell me in person so I can give her the uh, the.
✓ For instance, if I talk to my best friend when she is not happy, it's easier for me to understand what she's trying to tell me in person so I can support her.
Errors: mixed word order 'by talking to if I talk to', singular/plural mismatch 'all my best friend', missing 'is' in 'she not happy', incomplete ending. Reason: Simplify clause order: 'if I talk to my best friend', ensure subject-verb agreement, and complete the thought with a verb like 'support'. Suggestion: Use clear conditional structure, correct number agreement, and finish the sentence with the intended action.
× When I become an adult I, I always avoid having argument with my friends because I believe an argument will lead to umm, will cause the damage to the relationship and develop a, uh, a bad habit between, uh, my friends and I.
✓ Now that I am an adult, I always avoid having arguments with my friends because I believe an argument will damage the relationship and create bad feelings between my friends and me.
Errors: tense 'When I become an adult' should be present 'Now that I am', 'having argument' needs plural 'arguments', 'will lead to will cause the damage' redundant and ungrammatical, 'my friends and I' incorrect case after preposition. Reason: Use correct tense for current state, pluralize countable noun, avoid redundancy, use object pronoun 'me'. Suggestion: Use 'Now that I am an adult', 'avoid arguments', 'damage the relationship', and 'between my friends and me'.
