3. do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?

?

回答范例1：

i prefer to chat with only one friend, because i'm kind of like quiet. staying with many people makes me cranky.

it depends. i prefer?face-to-face communication?with my friends for i really enjoy spending time with them.

however, for those who may not be familiar, i'd rather communicate with them throughsocial media?because it's quite awkward?while sitting opposite one another chatting.

?

回答范例2：

i prefer to communicate face-to-face rather than via social media.

?

?

in my opinion, these conversations feel more?genuine and sincere.

?

回答范例3:
