IELTS Speaking Practice: Neighbors & Friends

Neighbors & Friends

Speaking Part 1

Q1: Do you have good relationships with your neighbors?

Absolutely, I do. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by neighborly people who are always ready to lend a hand. We organize communal activities such as neighborhood clean-ups and block parties on a regular basis.

• Fortunate → May mắn

• Neighborly people → Những người hàng xóm thân thiện

• Communal activities → Các hoạt động cộng đồng

Q2: How often do you see your friends?

I try to catch up with my close friends at least once a week. As we all lead busy lives, it’s important to carve out some time to maintain our bond and update each other on our lives.

• Catch up → Gặp gỡ, trò chuyện để cập nhật thông tin

• Lead busy lives → Sống cuộc sống bận rộn

• Carve out some time → Dành ra một ít thời gian

Q3: How do you usually spend your time with your friends?

We usually hang out at a local coffee shop or at someone’s house. We enjoy chatting about everything under the sun, from daily life to global issues. Sometimes, we’d also plan for a weekend getaway to unwind.

• Hang out → Tụ tập, họp mặt

• Everything under the sun → Mọi thứ

• Weekend getaway → Chuyến đi cuối tuần
