[@SashaTruf]

Hello, Jack! Thank you for your lesson as usual. It is the best content for learning english! I like texting more than phone calls especially for work, because you can reread the information.

[@JacksEnglish]

Thanks for the nice feedback! And yes, that’s a good point; it’s a much better way of documenting your communication. Thanks for sharing!👍

Generally, i prefer text messaging because it is free compared to a small charge for a phone call. It is also a quiet method of communication, which is especially useful in working environment.

[@JacksEnglish]

That's an interesting perspective. It's also a very well-structured answer, but I would like to offer one adjustment: in working environment --> in the work environment. A very small change! Thanks for sharing👍

[@B21DCCN436NguyễnQuangHuy]

Thank you Mr Jack!

I'm glad you liked it!

I prefer communicating via phone calls as it bring me proximal to the recipient and enables me to get immediate feedback

[@JacksEnglish]

Hi! Great points and I'm glad you are on the same page as me😀 In terms of your IELTS answer, I would change the following: it bring me proximal to the recipient --> it enables me to be more connected to the recipient and get immediate feedback. The main change here is the word 'proximal', as it is not natural in spoken English outside of science, specifically medicine. Thanks for sharing your answer and I hope this helps!

[@chowariel718]

For me, I prefer to communicate via text message except emergency issues. Most of my friends connect me via message because they are not sure my daily routine.

[@JacksEnglish]

@@chowariel718 Nice answer! I think your case is common now. In terms of your English, I would make this change: except emergency issues -> except about emergency issues. Apart from that very small change, great job!👍

Wonderful feedback, thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the podcast😀

[@twinklejoseph3802]

Usually i prefer text messaging over a call.As it is very convenient and suitable for a very noisy environment.

[@JacksEnglish]

Good point and nice answer! If you are preparing for the IELTS exam, I would aim for a slightly longer answer, but your accuracy is excellent👍

[@twinklejoseph3802]

@@JacksEnglish thank you

[@gregtan2558]

I prefer to communicate via phone calls, just because I think it is more convenient and you can express your emotion better. I prefer phone calls when there are urgent cases, where you need to have immediate contact with someone.

[@JacksEnglish]

Excellent answer and you are the first person to agree with me! From an IELTS perspective, your accuracy is perfect. If you were aiming for a higher band like an 8 or 9, I would add a little more detail (such as examples of emergencies) and change 'better' to 'more effectively'. Excellent answer and well done!

[@rajaabdullah9990]

I prefer massage as a means of communication because of my busy schedule and rules of my organisation I cannot use my cellphone for conversation

[@JacksEnglish]

Your organization sounds strict! Nice answer; just make sure you put ‘the’ before ‘rules’ because they are specific to your organization. Thanks for sharing your answer!👍
