IELTS Speaking Practice: Neighbors & Friends

Neighbors & Friends

Speaking Part 1

Q1: How well do you know your neighbors?

I know my neighbors quite well. We’ve been living in the same neighborhood for almost a decade now. We often exchange pleasantries and catch up on each other’s lives whenever we bump into each other.

• Exchange pleasantries → Trò chuyện phiếm

• Catch up on → Cập nhật thông tin

Q2: Do you often spend time with your friends?

I certainly do. I believe that spending quality time with friends is essential for maintaining a healthy social life. Whenever we have free time, we usually hang out at a local café or even just chill at someone’s house.

• Quality time → Thời gian chất lượng

• Hang out → Dành thời gian vui chơi, giải trí

Q3: What qualities do you value most in your friends?

There are several qualities that I appreciate in a friend, but if I had to choose, I would say honesty, loyalty, and a sense of humor. These qualities, to me, constitute the foundation of a strong friendship.

• Appreciate → Đánh giá cao

• Constitute → Tạo thành, cấu thành
