and explain why you think you became good friends with this person.

Oh, that’s a really interesting topic to talk about, and it reminds me of one of the most serendipitous encounters that led to a lasting friendship during my travels to Japan. In the midst of a foreign land, I crossed paths with someone from my own country, and little did I know that this chance meeting would blossom into a profound friendship.

It was at a bustling train station in Tokyo where I first met Anika, a fellow traveller from my homeland. Both of us were navigating the complexities of Tokyo’s railway system, and the shared perplexity at the intricate maps quickly became the icebreaker for our initial conversation.

This encounter happened during a warm summer afternoon. Initially, my thoughts were a mix of surprise and comfort. The surprise stemmed from the unexpected joy of finding a compatriot in a foreign land, while the comfort came from the familiarity of sharing the same language and cultural nuances. Anika, with her infectious enthusiasm, struck me as someone genuinely open to new experiences and connections.

Our shared nationality acted as the catalyst for our initial conversations, but it was our similar interests, values, and shared experience of navigating a foreign culture that cemented our friendship. As we explored Tokyo together, from the historic shrines to the vibrant street markets, we discovered a shared passion for cultural exploration and a similar sense of humour.

Our friendship deepened as we faced the challenges of navigating a foreign language, laughed over cultural misunderstandings, and marvelled at the beauty of blending our traditions with the richness of Japanese culture.

Over the course of our journey in Japan, what started as a chance encounter transformed into a meaningful connection. We exchanged contact information, promising to stay in touch once we returned to our homeland. True to our word, our friendship has endured beyond the borders of Japan, with shared memories becoming the foundation of a lasting camaraderie.

• Who is he/she and what does he/she do? When and how did you two meet?

I would like to talk about my best friend, Hriday. He is a professional photographer. It has been almost five years since we have known each other. Talking about how we met, it was all through social media. He was my friend’s friend on Facebook. I had spoken to him a few times in the comments section, and then he sent me a friend request. Upon the very first conversation, I clicked with him like never before.

• What kind of personality he/she has?

Since the beginning, Hriday has been quite outspoken with me. Although he has a shy and reserved personality, with me, he spoke his heart out. At first, I was a bit skeptical of talking like this with a stranger. However, he made me feel comfortable in no time and soon we became close friends. He is an amiable person.

• What makes you like him/her?

Living in the same city, we have met several times. Right from reading novels to going on bike rides, there are plenty of things we have done together. One of the best things about him is the positive attitude he carries. He listens to me patiently. I have the utmost confidence in him. Whenever I have an issue, the first person I want to talk to is Hriday. And, very calmly, he listens to me and then helps me think and act rationally. I just hope we stay friends for years to come.

College life, with its whirlwind of activities and diverse individuals, offered me a unique opportunity to forge lasting friendships. One such profound connection was formed during my sophomore year, a chance meeting that laid the foundation for a cherished friendship. For this nice topic, I would share this experience with you.

When and where you met this person:

In the bustling corridors of my college, I encountered Alex, a fellow student whose passion for literature mirrored my own. Our initial interaction, spurred by a shared interest in a campus literary event, evolved into a friendship that would endure the tests of time.

This encounter unfolded during the preparations for a college literary fest. Alex’s articulate insights and genuine enthusiasm for literature stood out, making a lasting impression on me.

Beyond our mutual love for literature, we discovered shared values, aspirations, and a similar sense of humor. Alex’s reliability, coupled with a genuine curiosity about the world, transformed what began as a college acquaintance into a meaningful connection.

Through the academic challenges, late-night study sessions, and the joys of celebrating shared victories, our friendship solidified. It wasn’t just the common interests but the mutual respect for each other’s individuality that deepened our bond. Alex became more than a study partner; they became a confidant, someone with whom I could share both the triumphs and tribulations of college life.

The fourth Topic

Describe whether you prefer to have a lot of friends or a small group of friends. You should say:

• How many friends you usually have

• Why you prefer that number of friends

• How you spend time with them

• And explain why this is your preference

How many friends you usually have

Personally, I strongly prefer having a small group of close friends rather than a large circle of acquaintances. I usually maintain around three to five really close friends, people I trust and feel comfortable with.

Why you prefer that number of friends

The main reason for this preference is that I value quality over quantity. Close friends offer genuine support, understanding, and honesty. With a large number of friends, interactions can often feel superficial, and it’s difficult to form deep emotional bonds with everyone.

How you spend time with them

I spend most of my time with these close friends doing activities we all enjoy, such as going to a café, watching movies, playing sports, or simply having long conversations about our personal lives and aspirations. These moments help me feel connected and supported, and they make my friendships truly meaningful.

And explain why this is your preference

Overall, I believe that having a small group of friends allows for more meaningful relationships and a stronger sense of trust. It suits my personality, as I prefer deep, authentic connections over being socially active with a vast number of people.
