IELTS Speaking Practice: Neighbors & Friends

Speaking Part 1
Q1: Do you know your neighbors?
Indeed, I have a solid acquaintance with almost all of my neighbors. We maintain a cordial relationship and often engage in friendly conversations. They are all amiable and approachable people, always ready to lend a helping hand in times of need.
• Solid acquaintance → Mối quan hệ chắc chắn
• Maintain a cordial relationship → Duy trì một mối quan hệ thân thiện

Q2: How often do you see your friends?
Considering my hectic schedule, it’s quite challenging to meet up with my friends frequently. However, we manage to catch up once or twice a month to keep our bond strong and share our experiences.
• Hectic schedule → Lịch trình bận rộn
• Meet up → Gặp gỡ
• Catch up → Bắt kịp, trò chuyện để cập nhật thông tin
Q3: What do you usually do with your friends?
We often indulge in various recreational activities such as playing sports, going to the cinema, or simply hanging out at a café. These gatherings allow us to unwind and take a break from our daily grind.
