Friends— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you have a long-term friend, then give one or two specific supporting details (how long you have known them and an example of your relationship). Avoid meta-comments about the test. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I have a friend I have known since childhood. We have supported each other for over fifteen years, and she is someone I can rely on during difficult times.

Suggestion: Organize your answer with a topic sentence plus two specific examples linked with connectors (for example, 'for example' or 'also'). Use varied vocabulary (visit, try, explore) and avoid repetition (don't say 'go out' twice). Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I usually go out with my friends to try new restaurants or cafés, for example we often sample dishes from different cuisines. We also enjoy exploring parks and trying activities like bowling or escape rooms.

Suggestion: Give a clear, complete answer: say a specific place and time, then add a brief reason. Avoid unclear words like 'immediately'. Use one linking word to explain why you meet there.

Example: We usually meet at a café or public park on Sunday afternoons after a busy week because it's convenient and relaxed for catching up.

Suggestion: Start with a direct yes/no and expand with one specific frequency or typical activity. Use correct verb patterns (enjoy going out) and a linking phrase (for example) to introduce activities.

Example: Yes, I often go out with my friends on weekends. For example, we usually visit cafés, watch movies or take short day trips together.

Suggestion: Keep your answer natural and add one concrete example of support. Avoid fillers like 'umm' and small grammar fixes (plural/singular agreement). Use a linking word like 'for example' to add a specific instance.

Example: Friends are very important to me because they provide emotional support and companionship. For example, when I was stressed about exams my close friend helped me study and encouraged me.

Suggestion: Give a clear preference and one or two concise reasons with linking words (because, so). Be specific about activities or the nature of the friendship rather than vague phrases like 'set out everything'.

Example: I prefer spending time with one close friend because we have similar interests and can plan activities easily. For instance, we both enjoy hiking and trying new cafés.

Suggestion: Answer directly and give two specific examples of activities you do at home, linking them with 'and' or 'also'. Remove fillers and use correct verb forms (try different foods, play games).

Example: Yes, definitely. I often invite friends to my home to cook and try different foods, and we also play board games or watch movies together.

Suggestion: This answer is unclear. State clearly whether there is a difference, give one concrete example of past vs present meeting places, and explain briefly why using a linking word (because, so). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, there is a difference. In the past we met at school or neighbourhood streets, but now we usually meet at cafés or shopping malls because we are adults with busy schedules.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence contrasting suitable and unsuitable places, then provide two specific reasons (noise, privacy) linked by 'because' or 'so'. Use accurate adjectives (crowded) and avoid repetition.

Example: Some places are suitable because they are quiet and comfortable, which makes conversation easier. Crowded or noisy places are not ideal because it's difficult to hear each other and relax.

× Yes I have but I don't know how to give answer these questions because not one I have two or three friends which have my back and I know her from my childhood.

✓ Yes, I do. I don't know which question you mean, but I have two or three friends who have my back, and I have known them since my childhood.

The sentence uses incorrect pronouns and relative clauses. 'I have' should be followed by 'do' in short answer form. 'How to give answer these questions' is ungrammatical — use 'which question you mean' or 'how to answer these questions'. 'Not one I have two or three friends' is confusing; replace with 'I have two or three friends'. Use 'who' for people, not 'which'. 'I know her from my childhood' mixes singular pronoun with plural 'two or three friends' and wrong verb tense; use 'I have known them since my childhood'. Suggestions: use correct pronouns (who/them) and the present perfect 'have known' for actions starting in the past and continuing to present.

× I usually prefer to go out, go outside with my friends, try different things, restaurants or cafe and different activity.

✓ I usually prefer going out with my friends, trying different things, such as restaurants or cafes, and doing different activities.

After 'prefer', use the gerund (verb + -ing) when stating general preferences: 'prefer going out' not 'prefer to go out' (both are possible, but gerund here makes the list parallel). Also nouns should be plural: 'cafes' and 'activities'. Maintain parallel structure for the list by using gerunds for each item.

× And when we meet up, when we meet, we explore different park or place, that's all.

✓ When we meet up, we explore different parks or places. That's all.

Use plural nouns 'parks' and 'places' when speaking generally. Omit redundant phrases 'when we meet' after 'when we meet up.' Also separate the final short sentence for clarity. Use articles only when referring to a specific park/place.

× Immediately we meet and outside when after a busy weekend.

✓ We usually meet up immediately after a busy weekend, often outdoors.

Original sentence has incorrect word order and redundant words. 'Immediately we meet and outside when after a busy weekend' should be reordered: time phrase 'after a busy weekend' and location 'outdoors'. Use adverbs like 'usually' or 'often' to clarify frequency.

× Yes, I enjoy to go outside with my friends and. Share different kinds of activities when we do in a weekend.

✓ Yes, I enjoy going out with my friends and sharing different kinds of activities on weekends.

Use gerund after 'enjoy': 'enjoy going out.' 'Share' should be 'sharing' to keep parallel structure. Use the preposition 'on' with time expressions like 'on weekends' (or 'at the weekend' in British English). Remove stray period.

× Absolutely, friends are important in our life because umm, some friends are like our sisters. They are selfless towards us and support me in every difficult situations.

✓ Absolutely. Friends are important in our lives because some friends are like sisters. They are selfless toward us and support me in every difficult situation.

Use plural 'lives' after 'our' when speaking generally. 'Like our sisters' is better as 'like sisters.' 'Towards' can be 'toward' (either is acceptable); ensure consistency. 'Every difficult situations' is wrong: use singular 'every difficult situation' or plural without 'every' as 'in difficult situations.' Pronoun consistency: switch 'us' and 'me' carefully; here 'us' aligns with 'our lives' while 'support me' refers to the speaker — choose one; corrected version keeps both but is clearer if speaker says 'support me in difficult situations.' Consider using 'support us' if speaking about a group.

× Mostly I prefer to spend time with my one best friend, not all group because I prefer to spend time with my friends and we do lots of activities and we are like similar behaviour and set out everything.

✓ Mostly I prefer to spend time with my one best friend, not the whole group, because we have similar interests and do many activities together.

Use 'the whole group' instead of 'all group.' 'My one best friend' is awkward but acceptable; alternatively 'my best friend' is simpler. 'We are like similar behaviour and set out everything' is ungrammatical — replace with 'we have similar interests' or 'similar behaviour' and 'do many activities together.' Use 'many' rather than 'lots of' for formality and clarity.

× Yes, definitely. I would like to invite my friends in my home and we try different, uh, foods. Try playing different types of games and we enjoy a lot.

✓ Yes, definitely. I would like to invite my friends to my home, and we would try different foods, play different types of games, and enjoy ourselves a lot.

Use 'invite ... to my home' not 'in my home.' Keep verb forms parallel: 'try', 'play', 'enjoy' should be coordinated. Add an object for 'enjoy' (enjoy ourselves) and use conditional/modal 'would' to match 'I would like.' Remove filler 'uh.'

× As of course there is a huge difference between from since valued friends and when we meet our friends in past because when, because. Since I will friend known our everything but.

✓ Of course there is a big difference between where I meet my friends now and where I met them in the past. In the past we met in different places, but now the places are different.

Original is largely unintelligible with many fragments and wrong connectors. Rephrase to a clear comparative structure: 'difference between where I meet my friends now and where I met them in the past.' Avoid filler words like 'because when, because.' Use past tense 'met' for past events.

× Some places are peaceful environment, however some places are so crowd. So for meeting friends, peaceful environment is better to hang out and share out things which we do in our daily life.

✓ Some places have a peaceful environment, while others are very crowded. For meeting friends, a peaceful environment is better for hanging out and sharing things from our daily lives.

Use 'have a peaceful environment' or 'are peaceful' rather than 'are peaceful environment.' 'So crowd' is incorrect; use 'very crowded.' Use 'a peaceful environment' with the article. Use 'for hanging out' (gerund) and 'sharing things from our daily lives.' 'Share out things' is incorrect collocation.
