IELTS Speaking # Importance Of Friends
Friends are the people who we share our lives with, they are the ones who get to know us more than anyone else. We spend our time with them, laugh with them and often cry together. Friends are those who we need in our lives. Let us to
What makes friends different from family?
Friends are those people in life that you share a different bond because they are just like you. There problems are same and most of the times you share the same problem. The characters in the story are same and it is different from family. People in family are the ones who come back to when everything falls back. They are the ones who know you before you knew yourself. There is so much more attachment with them.
What qualities do you think are important in a friend?
A person to be my friend has to be trust worthy and that is it. I want people whom I can trust to be my friends. If there is someone whom I cannot trust, there is no point in being with them even for a second.
What is a friend?
A friend is a person who can share your life with. You can tell the silliest of your worries to, he or she is the person, you need not to pretend in front of. There you are and he or she knows exactly that and yet chooses to be your side.
What things should friends never do?
I think a friend should never betray behind the back. So, if there is a friend and he or she talks behind back things that are not good or does not trusts his friend for the things that he or she does, or for that matter hides things from his friends, there is no point of the other person calling him a friend.
Has a friend ever let you down?
Yes, I remember there was a friend of mine and I told her about my trip and all the fun that I had. By that time I had not told my parents about me going solo to that trip but my friend instead of asking me to tell my parents, just went on telling them about it. I don’t know what she wanted to portray and I am very sure if it was all positive, but it did hurt me, because she directly contacted my parents without asking me.
Have you made any friends over the Internet?
Not really. But, there have been people whom I knew as an acquaintance in real life but we became friends over the internet.
How often do you write to them?
My job is such that it requires lot of time and patience and it is very difficult to stay in touch with everyone I come across. But, the people I have met and been friends on Facebook, I tend to write whenever I get time or when I feel that there has been a lot of gap between us.
Why do you like your best friend?
There is no reason when you love someone, right! Why we have stuck with each other is because we both love each other company. There are times when we fight, when we yell at each other, sometimes we even stop talking with each other but then we know that we are, we are there for each other and that feeling, feeling of being at home even when you are far away, is what makes me love her.
Where is a good place to meet new friends?
If someone really wants to meet new friends, I think the best place should be any group or club, because there you meet like-minded people. People who share the same worries as you and the troubles just like you and then you need not to spend extra time or figure out a plan to be with them. You are just two busy people trying to improve your life.
Where is a good place to meet a new boyfriend/girlfriend?
I think the best place would be a group or a club, yet again. Because, it provides you a basic common ground to interact and that is very important. Or you can just go about and join some social cause. It is when you fall in love with yourself, that you start falling in love with others as well.
Do you think it is possible to have a best friend of the opposite sex without becoming a girlfriend or boyfriend?
Definitely yes. Because you know the other person, you have shared their sorrow and no one in this world can understand you better than him or her. Making love with that person is so much more easier and comfortable because then you grow with each other. But then it is not a compulsion as well. You can just be friends with some one and fall in love with someone else.
Do you think it would be possible for you to still be friends with an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend?
No, I don’t think so. For me, having my heart broken, I don’t think so I can ever be friends with someone I had shared some intimate moments. Obviously, we can remain as acquaintances, I can help the other person or just have a coffee if we step in the café together but making attempts for a meeting or sharing life, I don’t think so it is possible.
