2. Câu hỏi và câu trả lời :

1. Do you have a lot of friends?

Not a lot, but I have a few very close friends … I think it is better to have one reliable friend that a thousand fair-weather friends… Although it’s not easy to meet someone you have a lot in common with, I think managed to do it.

2. How often do you see your friends?

As often as I can… We enjoy each other’s company, so we see each other almost daily… What’s more, we live very close to each other, so it’s easy for us to meet up.

3. Is there anything special about your friends?

Oh, that’s an interesting question… I guess there are lot of things… For instance, my best friend can draw unbelievable art, good enough to sell. And my other friend is really keen on cooking… But most importantly, they are people, who are near and dear to my heart.

4. For how long do you know them?

I’ve known my friends since my childhood… We’ve been through thick and thin together… Probably that’s why we’re so close now.

5. Do you have many close friends?

To be honest, I don’t have a lot of close friends. I just have one that I confide in. Her name is Linh and we have known each other since we were at the primary school. To me, she is a reliable and kind-heartedfriend who always stands by me, regardless of what the situation is and I’m so thankful to have a close friend like her.

-> I have only one friend I would confide in. I’m quite picky and more importantly, I have a somewhat irrational fear that none of my friends really like me and that I’m just a guy they can barely tolerate and it is hard for me to live in harmony with them.

6. Do you think friendship is important?

Of course, friendship plays an important part in each individual’s life. The reason is simply that it makes our lives more interesting and colorful. Friends are always the one we share a lot of things in commonand cheer us up whenever we are down in the dumps.

->There is no doubt that friendships play a vital role in our life. They make our lives interesting and wonderful. They help us develop a sense of sharing whether they are tangible things or just inspirational or motivational words of wisdom.

7. Who do you prefer to spend time with: a friend or spend time alone?

It depends on my mood. If I’m in a good mood, I prefer hanging out with my friends and going shopping or cooking together. However, sometimes when I’m tired of working or studying, I just want to stay at home and take a rest.

->It depends. Normally, I’m more of a loner and generally spend more time in solitude than with friends. But when I’m in a bad mood, loneliness makes me feel isolated from the whole world. These days, I will hang out with my friends so that sad and unhappy thoughts cannot come into my mind.

8. What kind of people do you like to have as friend?

I’m attracted to those who are honest, disciplined and studious because I think I can learn a lot from them. I always try to avoid making friends with people who are superiority complex.

->I find myself attracted to people who are honest and who know how to behave with others. And I always avoid making friends with people who have a superiority complex.

9. Do you like face-to-face conversations with people?

You know, I’m a social butterfly, so I love communicating face to face with others surrounding me to become more confident and have good social skills. It’s also an interesting way to gain knowledge and experience for myself.

->Actually I like to talk with cyber friends more than having real-world conversations. I think others observe me a lot, they judge me and hence I become very self conscious and shy away from speaking face to face.

10. Are most of your friends from school or from outside school?

Most of my friends are from high school. People who I met at work or  from clubs have less in common with me, whereas at Uni we all shared interests in the same things and subjects.

11.How often do you meet with your friends?

When I was younger, I used to meet my friends almost everyday. Even friends outside of school were a part of my daily social interactions. But now, as a 23 year old working professional, I barely meet anyone during weekdays. I meet my closest friends only on some weekends. These meetups are sporadic too.

12.What do you and your friends do together?

My closest friends and I have a mutual interest which is we always have a thirst for clothes shopping, so whenever we have time, we will go shopping together until we break the bank. Sometimes when we are out of money, just window shopping is enough.

13.How do people in your country meet others and make friends?

I don’t think it particularly matters what country you’re from. In every country, you can make friends just by sitting next to someone a few times during class, then a friendship logically happens. Otherwise, you can make cyber friends through social networks like Facebook or Twitter.

14.Do adults and children make friends in the same way?

Adults use self disclosure to develop trust and loyalty among friends. This is quite complicated in practice while children usually use common interests and goals as the basis of their friendships. More importantly, kids have a whale of time with whoever, but adults have to use their time for work and taking care of their family.

15.Do you think it is possible to become real friends with people you meet on the internet?

Of course it is possible to establish real friendships with someone online. What you need in a friendship is truthfulness, reliability, empathy, respect and loyalty. If  you’re getting all that from your online friends then you can consider them as genuine friends.
