IELTS Speaking Part 1: Friends – bài mẫu và câu trả lời hay

How important are friends to you?

Very, I'd say.

I've only got a handful of close friends, but I can always count on them.

Before my last exams, I was stressing out every night, and honestly, they kept me sane.

One of them even turned up at midnight with banh mi for me.

Do you often go out with your friends?

Not as much as I'd like, actually.

During term, we're all busy with assignments, so it's basically once a week.

We usually go to the same milk tea shop after class and spend ages putting the world to rights.

The staff there know our orders by now.

Is there a difference between where you meet friends now and where you used to meet them in the past?

Yes, quite a big one.

When I was little, all my friends lived in the same lane, so we just dropped in on each other after dinner.

Now we're all crammed into tiny rented rooms, so we kind of live at street food stalls near campus.

I mean, it's cheap, and no landlord can complain about the noise.

Do you have a friend you have known for a long time?

Oh, yes, one in particular.

She's a girl from back home, and we go back a long way.

Her family moved in next door when we were about six.

She's in Ho Chi Minh City now, but we message almost every day.

The funny thing is, she's the life and soul of the party, and I'm the quiet one.

Do you prefer to spend time with one friend or with a group of friends?

One friend, definitely.

In a big group, I kind of fade into the background and just listen.

With one person, I can really open up.

Mind you, I wouldn't say no to a birthday dinner with the whole gang now and then.

Those are always a laugh.
