IELTS Speaking Part 1: Friends (друзья), вопросы и примеры ответов

Do you have a lot of friends?

How do you usually spend time with your friends?

Do you prefer having a few close friends or many friends?

How did you meet your best friend?

Is it easy to make new friends as an adult?

Do you have a lot of friends?

Not a huge number, but I have a small group of close friends I've known since school. We've been through a lot together, so I feel I can rely on them completely.

How do you usually spend time with your friends?

Nothing too exciting, really. We usually meet up at a café on Friday evenings, or play football on Sundays. In summer we sometimes rent a place outside the city and spend the whole weekend together.

How did you meet your best friend?

We sat next to each other on the first day of school, when we were seven. Apparently we argued about a pencil, and we've been inseparable ever since, even though we now study in different cities.

Is it easy to make new friends as an adult?

I think it gets harder. At school you see the same people every day, but as an adult everyone's busy with work and family, so friendships take more effort to build and to keep going.
