1. Are your friends mostly your age or different ages?

Most of my friends are about the same age as me because we met at school or university. I’ve got one or two friends who are older or younger that I met through work.

3. The last time you saw your friends, what did you do together?

It was one of my friends’ birthday last weekend. Six of us went out for a meal to celebrate.

4. In what ways are your friends important to you?

I think it’s important to have friends that you can talk to and share experiences with. My friends make me laugh, but I know I can also rely on them whenever I need help or support.

Dear All,

Here are my answers and hope you can have more ideas on how to build your own answers:

1) Most of my friends are similar in age as me. Most of them are people who I met back in high school and college, so we also have similar interests and backgrounds.

3) We had a gathering in my home about 2 months ago. I prepared barbeque for them and we took the opportunity to catch up with one another.

4) Well, my friends are definitely important in my life. I think it’s always nice to know that there is always somebody who you can talk to and share your happiness and struggles with. In my case, my friends and I constantly give emotional support to each other and I think that’s really important in a true friendship.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers,
Martin

VERB TENSE tends to be a big problem for many students.

Always listen carefully to the question before answering! Using the wrong verb tense could make your ideas totally irrelevant to the question!

Hi all

Here are my answers and looking forward to receive any suggestion

1) Most of my friends are almost the same age as me because we met at school. But I also have associated with some friends in sport teams or some occasions much younger or older than me.

3) It was about 1 and half month ago. I went to the reunion hold in Jhida where about 100 kilometers away from my home by motorcycle and had a delicious local meal. I was exhausted but happy.

4) To be honest, I think it is vital for my friends to give me a hand when I’m in need and provide me a way to deal with my sorrows and worries, which can help me release my stress and make me laugh.

1. Are your friends mostly your age or different ages?
   Well, most friends of mine are around my age, ‘cause, on the one hand, I just get to know them at school or in college, and on the other hand, if someone is too much older or younger than me, it’s unlikely for me to regard them as friends.
2. The last time you saw your friends, what did you do together?
   It was just yesterday and it was nothing unusual. We came to the department as usual, and we chatted and gossiped and stuff like that to kill time after finishing our own studies.
3. In what ways are your friends important to you?
   Well, although I have not many friends, they add colour to my life. Otherwise, if I have no friends to chat to, I’ll definitely be driven round the bend by my studies. Also, if I need help, whether it’s about life or studies, I’m sure I have someone to turn to.

1. Well, all friends of mine are similar age as me. Because i am interested in making friends who’s having similar interests. So i can freely share my ideas,feelings and thoughts with them. If i have friends of different age, i always hesitate to discuss something with them.
2. As far as i remember, three months ago we bumped into each other at the store and then we made a plan of watching movie together and we enjoyed a lot during movie. At the same time, we clicked some pictures, and also uploaded those pictures on Facebook.
3. Certainly, friends are very important in various ways because i consider them my second family. Whenever i need help that time they always stand through my thick and thin. That is why i appreciate them. Moreover, friends are those who care,love,respect,loyal, and reliable towards you throughout your whole life. Its quite difficult to praise about loyal once.

Q. Do you have many friends? [Why/Why not?]
Answer: I have more than 10 friends and I am not sure if I should say this is many! However, I had more than 30 friends in my school days. With the passage of time, the number plummeted. If I count my Facebook friends as real friends, the number would go high!

Alternative Answer: I have a few close friends whom I consider my inner circle, but I wouldn’t say that I have a large number of friends. I value quality over quantity when it comes to friendships. Developing meaningful connections and maintaining strong bonds requires time, trust, and mutual understanding. I prefer investing my energy in nurturing a few deep friendships rather than spreading myself thin across numerous acquaintances.

Q. How often do you go out with friends? [Why/Why not?]
Answer: I meet my friends almost twice a week. I love to spend my weekends with them and sometimes I visit different places, watch movies and discuss different topics with them. I do not go out with all of my friends. I mostly hang out with 2-3 close buddies and go out with them almost 3-4 times a month.

Alternative Answer: The frequency of my outings with friends varies depending on our schedules and commitments. On average, I try to meet up with my friends at least once or twice a month. However, there are times when our busy lives and responsibilities make it challenging to find a common time to get together. Nevertheless, I cherish the moments we do spend together, as they offer an opportunity to unwind, catch up on each other’s lives, and strengthen our friendships

Question 7

Q. Tell me about your best friend at school.

Answer 7

Answer: My best friend at school was John and he was a great friend. He was tall and brave. He taught me how to show courage when we are in trouble. He has had a great impact on my life. Though he lives in Australia now, we regularly communicate via Skype. I specifically liked him because he was more like a brother than a friend to me.

Alternative Answer: My best friend at school was named Sarah. We met in elementary school and instantly clicked. What made our bond special was our shared interests, values, and deep understanding of each other. Sarah was incredibly supportive, trustworthy, and always had my back. We would spend hours together studying, exploring new hobbies, and engaging in lively conversations. She had a great sense of humour and was someone I could always rely on for advice and a listening ear. Despite attending different colleges, we have managed to stay in touch and maintain our friendship throughout the years.

Question 12

Q. How friendly are you with your neighbours? [Why/Why not?]

Answer 12

Answer: I must say I am quite lucky to have good neighbours who are always supportive and well-behaved. I am quite close to them. We have been living in our neighbourhood for more than a decade and our neighbours have become our close relatives. We have a mutual understanding and an invisible bond that ties us together as good neighbours. I respect their opinion, privacy and try to step forward whenever they need me.

Alternative Answer: I consider myself friendly with my neighbours. I believe in fostering a sense of community and being a good neighbour. I make an effort to greet them, engage in friendly conversations, and help out when needed. Building positive relationships with neighbours creates a supportive and safe environment where we can look out for one another. Whether it’s keeping an eye on each other’s homes during vacations or lending a helping hand, being friendly with neighbours enhances the overall neighbourhood experience and creates a sense of belonging.

Question 16

Q. Which is more important to you, friends or family? [Why?]

Answer 16

Answer: To be honest, family comes first. However, there are some friends who become our family members. The bond between family members is often stronger but this does not mean that we do not have friends who are less important in our life. Being with the family makes us who we really are and friends make our life worth living.

Alternative Answer: It’s difficult for me to choose between friends and family as both hold immense significance in my life. Family provides a strong foundation of love, support, and shared history. They have been there for me through thick and thin, offering unconditional love and guidance. Family bonds are deeply rooted, and the connections forged with relatives can be lifelong. On the other hand, friends are the family we choose. They offer companionship, understanding, and a different perspective on life. Friends can become our support system outside of the familial realm and bring joy, laughter, and shared experiences. Ultimately, both friends and family play unique roles in my life, and I value and cherish the relationships I have with both.

Question 20

Q. Who do you spend most time studying/working with? [Why?]

Answer 20

Answer: As a university student, I have a couple of classmates, who are also my friends, with whom I spend a considerable amount of time studying or discussing different topics related to our studies or assignments. If I have to single out a person among them, I would say I spend the most time with “Jessica”, who is a very close friend of mine, and a very brilliant student.

Alternative Answer: I work in a software company in our country, and I often have to work with a number of colleagues on different projects and requirements. However, I believe I work most with two of my colleagues, who happen to be also from my university, as we are often in the same team working on the same projects

Question 22

However, I believe I work most with two of my colleagues, who happen to be also from my university,

Question 23

Q. What kinds of things do you study/work on with other people? [Why?]

Answer 23

Answer: My major is Business Studies, and I often find myself studying or discussing accounting, banking, technology, finance, management and computer applications-related topics or assignments with the people I study with. If we have important assignments, which are quite frequent, we also discuss how we can approach and prepare to get a good grade.

Alternative Answer: As a software developer, almost always I work in a team. My work nature is such that I have to constantly interact with a group of people ranging from the clients to the project manager, from teammates, subordinates, the design team, the marketing team to the testing team. I work with the clients to understand the project requirements. With other teams and project managers, I mostly discuss the progress of the projects or do formal meetings about the projects. With the testing team, I collaborate in order to solve bugs or improve a feature

Question 24

Q. Is it important to like the people you study/work with? [Why/Why not?]

Answer 24

Answer: Yes, it is absolutely important to like the people we study with. Students, most of the time, if not always, create a friendly bond with others they study with. So if they do not like each other, chances are that the group would not sustain in the long run and produce very poor output. As for me, the students who I study with are my dear friends, and this friendship has begun after we started studying together.

Alternative Answer: In my opinion, it is quite important to like and respect the people we work with. Without having a work environment where we have friendly and helpful colleagues, we cannot go on for long. In fact, we spend a significant amount of our day-time in our workplace, so it is imperative that we are surrounded by the people we like to work with and respect each other.

Question 25

Q. Are there times when you study/work better by yourself? [Why/Why not?]

Answer 25

Answer: I think most of us would agree that group studies are better for understanding comparatively complex topics and it also helps us share our ideas. However, there are some instances, at least this is what my experience has taught me, when we tend to do better if we study all by ourselves. For instance, if I need to write an essay, read a chapter of a book that requires utmost attention, solve a math problem, or do some online research for a small project, I prefer working alone to being in a group of several people. I would like to share my ideas or get reviews on the work I do in such situations, but when it comes to jotting down my thoughts or thinking with rapt attention, I think working solo is sometimes the best option.

Alternative Answer: Well, before starting working on a project, I need to discuss and collaborate with several people. But when it comes to actually writing codes for the software or application, I prefer to work all by myself. However, during this work, I often need to supervise my subordinates and interact with seniors. I think I prefer writing code in a silent environment without the intervention of others because this way, I can pay absolute attention and produce great outputs.

Question 26

2. Do you usually see your friends during the week or at weekends?

Answer 26

I tend to meet up with my friends at weekends because everyone’s too busy during the week.

2. I usually meet up with my friends during a week because we study in the same group. At weekends I prefer to visit to other friends who are busy during the week.

2) Weekends tend to be much easier for us to meet. We all have a busy lifestyle and weekends are the only times when we can hang out and relax.

2) Actually. We tend to meet each other at holidays because all of them are at all, such as studying for master, working or participating in the compulsory army.

I see my friends on weekdays most of the time, ‘cause they only show up during this time. On/At the weekend, they go playing basketball and baseball, shopping, watching movies, tutoring, and I stay in my research office to study and do my research.

We meet every month as all of us are working and married so we do not physically meet regulary,But we chat and call each other over the phone almost everyday.

2. i see my college friends everyday in college.and see childhood friends when i was went for festivals or holidays

2.I meet my friend most of the time because we study at the same school.

2 During week, my all friends are extremely busy. Though i also dont have time to meet up on weekdays. But somehow we tend up to meet on weekends and share our life with each other. What is more, we also enjoy a lot of things when we are together such as eat out at restaurants, shopping, and watching movies at theater.
