Do you prefer texting people or actually calling them? What's the difference for you?

A natural way to answer

It depends on the situation. For quick things, I prefer texting because it is fast and easy. But for important news or a long chat, I think calling is better because you can hear the person's voice.

Key phrases to use

• puts me on the spot — makes you feel pressured to answer or react immediately“The question really put me on the spot.”
• fills me with dread — makes you feel very worried or afraid about something“The thought of public speaking fills me with dread.”
• talk over each other — to speak at the same time as someone else, interrupting“We were so excited we kept talking over each other.”
