Friends— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the comparison directly, and use past tense for your student years. Clarify where you met friends then and where you meet them now; “make friends from” is not natural here, so use “made friends with” or “met up with.”

Ví dụ: Yes, there is a difference. When I was a student, I usually met my classmates on campus or at a café. Now that I’m working, I tend to meet my roommates at home because we have similar schedules.

Gợi ý: Give a complete answer rather than starting with “Because,” and correct subject–verb agreement and articles (“places are,” “a library”). Remove repeated words. Explain how noise level or atmosphere affects whether a place is suitable.

Ví dụ: Some places are better for meeting because they suit different activities. A cozy café is ideal for chatting because people can talk comfortably, whereas a library is meant for quiet study, so conversation would disturb others.

Gợi ý: State your preference clearly and make the contrast grammatically complete. “A group harmony” is unnatural; explain that groups are enjoyable for socialising or group activities, while one-to-one time allows deeper conversations.

Ví dụ: I prefer spending time with one friend because we can have a more meaningful conversation. However, I also enjoy meeting a group of friends when we want to celebrate or do something lively together.

Gợi ý: Use “I like to invite” or “I enjoy inviting,” and say “friends” and “at home.” Replace “during our preparation and eating” with a more natural phrase such as “while we prepare and eat the food.” Give a specific reason for preferring home.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy inviting friends over to cook with me. We can chat while preparing the food and have dinner together afterwards. It feels more relaxed and comfortable than eating out.

Gợi ý: Your main point is clear, but the final clause sounds confusing and slightly contradictory. Explain how friends help you manage stress or maintain balance, and use “friends” consistently rather than switching to “a friend.”

Ví dụ: Friends are very important to me because they support me emotionally. I can get too focused on work, so spending time with them helps me relax and keep a better balance in my life.

Gợi ý: Answer naturally with “At weekends” or “On weekends,” and keep the activities in parallel form. You could add a brief detail about how often you go out or which activity you enjoy most.

Ví dụ: Yes, I do. At weekends, I often go hiking, visit museums, or attend concerts with my friends. I especially enjoy hiking because it gives us a chance to talk while getting some exercise.

Gợi ý: Avoid repeating “an island,” and use “choose” rather than “select” for a casual conversation. Name a clear range of places and explain what you do there. Also, say “visit an exhibition” or “see an exhibition.”

Ví dụ: We often meet at places where we can explore something together, such as a nearby island or a museum. We might go sightseeing on the island or look around a new exhibition at the museum.

Gợi ý: The activities are relevant, but “catch up our updating” is not natural English. Say “catch up on each other’s lives” or “talk about what we’ve been doing.” Add a specific example of a typical outing if possible.

Ví dụ: We usually go sightseeing and try a nice restaurant. While we eat, we talk about what we’ve been doing recently and catch up on each other’s lives.

Gợi ý: This is a clear answer with a relevant supporting detail. Correct “I have friends know each other” to “I have friends I’ve known” or “I have friends who have known me.” You could make it more personal by briefly mentioning how you first met.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have a few friends I’ve known for more than ten years. We first met at school, and we’ve supported each other through different stages of life and various challenges.

× When I was a student, I make friends from my classmates and now I work.

✓ When I was a student, I made friends with my classmates, and now I work.

The sentence refers to a past period, so use the past-tense form made rather than make. Use with, not from, to describe forming friendships.

× I didn't make friends from my colleagues but from my roommates.

✓ I didn't make friends with my colleagues, but I did make friends with my roommates.

The usual preposition after make friends is with. Repeat did make in the second clause to make the contrast clear.

× Because this place are designed for different purpose.

✓ Because each place is designed for a different purpose.

Each place is grammatically singular, so it takes the singular verb is, not are.

× Because this place are designed for different purpose.

✓ Because each place is designed for a different purpose.

Purpose is a singular countable noun here, so it needs the article a. Use a different purpose.

× For example a cozy cafe is suitable suitable for meeting and chatting while library is required required quiet.

✓ For example, a cozy cafe is suitable for meeting and chatting, while a library needs to be quiet.

Singular countable nouns such as cafe and library need an article when used this way. Use a before each noun.

× For example a cozy cafe is suitable suitable for meeting and chatting while library is required required quiet.

✓ For example, a cozy cafe is suitable for meeting and chatting, while a library needs to be quiet.

The phrase is required quiet is not grammatically complete in this context. Use needs to be quiet to express that a library must remain quiet. Also remove the repeated words.

× I enjoy a deep conversation with a friend while a group harmony with lots of friends.

✓ I enjoy having a deep conversation with one friend, while I enjoy the lively atmosphere of a group of friends.

The clause after while has no verb. Add a subject and a verb, such as I enjoy, to make it a complete clause.

× Yes, I like invite friend to cook together in my home.

✓ Yes, I like inviting friends to my home to cook together.

Like can be followed by a gerund, so use inviting. The alternative like to invite is also grammatically correct.

× Yes, I like invite friend to cook together in my home.

✓ Yes, I like inviting friends to my home to cook together.

The sentence refers to friends generally, so use the plural countable noun friends rather than the singular friend.

× It's more comfortable than dinner at outside.

✓ It's more comfortable than eating out.

At is not used before outside in this expression. Use eating out to refer to having a meal away from home.

× It's more comfortable than dinner at outside.

✓ It's more comfortable than eating out.

Compare the comfort of being at home with the experience of eating out. Dinner is a meal, so it is not a suitable comparison object for comfortable in this sentence.

× In weekends, I often go hiking, visiting museums, or attending a concert with my friends.

✓ On weekends, I often go hiking, visiting museums, or attending a concert with my friends.

Use on with weekends when referring to a regular time period.

× We go sightseeing and eat delicious food, then talk about our recent activities to catch up our updating.

✓ We go sightseeing and eat delicious food, then talk about our recent activities to catch up on each other's news.

The phrasal verb is catch up on something, so the preposition on is required. Use a noun phrase such as each other's news after it.

× Yes, I have friends know each other for more than 10 years.

✓ Yes, I have friends who have known each other for more than 10 years.

The noun friends needs a relative clause to explain which friends you mean. Add who and the verb have known to form a complete clause.
