Part 1
考官
Do you have a friend you have known for a long time?
考生
Well, actually I have not one but three. We 4 have been friends with each other for more than 20 years and I can still remember our friendship started at our primary school. The long process until today is quite rewarding because we have helped other in many different.
考官
What do you usually do with your friends?
考生
Well, in most cases we tend to share our own stories and experiences with each other and at the same time giving other people a helping hand if they need or advice that could help them to improve their own decisions. We find these kind of interaction quite rewarding and it shows a high level of reciprocity.
考官
Where do you often meet each other?
考生
We tend to gather together in one of the members home, but from time to time we will organize something innovative, like paying a visit to a local museum or art gallery together. But in either context, we would communicate with each other efficiently and we are always willing to share the happiness and sorrow.
考官
Do you often go out with your friends?
考生
Unfortunately, I don't do so quite frequently and in most cases I pay a visit to another place myself. The main reason is that I find that group activities can be quite difficult to organize. You need to think about everyone's timetables and make sure the final schedule is suitable for everyone. Sometimes you have to.
考官
How important are friends to you?
考生
I think they do matter a lot to me. Although we don't communicate in reality very often these days, we are still closely connected to one another online. From time to time, we share our current situations and give other people important pieces of advice. Overall, our friendships have been firmly built.
考官
Do you prefer to spend time with one friend or with a group of friends?
考生
I would argue that staying with more than one friend can be even more meaningful for me, and instead staying with only another individual can sometimes lead to boredom or tiredness because you may have known each other too well. By contrast, three people, four people staying together can be quite fun.
考官
Would you invite friends to your home?
考生
Well, sometimes I do umm, but I don't always want to do that because if you want to have someone invited to your own apartment or house, you have to organize everything in advance and this process can sometimes be quite arduous. So I would say that meeting a friend outside your home would be better from time to time.
考官
Is there a difference between where you meet friends now and where you used to meet them in the past?
考生
Actually, I think there is. In the past, when I was a young man, I tended to meet up with my friends in a public building such as a bookstore, a library, or even a zoo. These days, we prefer private occasions because privacy can actually help us to communicate better.
考官
Why are some places suitable for meeting while others are not?
考生
I think there could be two decisive factors. The first one is privacy. These days, many young people would prefer a more private venue than a relatively public one. And another thing we need to think about is entertainment. When people meet together, it's natural for them to have some kind of fun and recreation.
