1. How important are friends to you?

• I value my friends immensely. They are invaluable to me, and I love and cherish them. Also, since I live far away from home, my friends are my second family and I would be devastated if I were to lose them.
• Since I am the only child, my friends are like my brothers, and they hold great importance in my life. They are the ones I turn to for help, and they also assist me with my studies.

2. Do you often go out with your friends?

• Lately, we haven’t been able to hang out as much because some of us are either job hunting or continuing our studies. However, when we do get together, we usually play basketball, typically on weekends. In the past, we used to see each other almost every day, but now it’s more like a few times a month.
• In the past, we used to go out frequently, almost three times a week. However, due to academic commitments that tend to be overwhelming, we now hang out just once a month, but we make sure to stay in touch via WeChat.

3. Where do you often meet each other?

• Most of the time, we meet directly on the basketball court. However, on occasion, we might meet up at a cafe or someone’s home. My friends are very hospitable, and we just enjoy spending time together wherever we can.
• We’re all food enthusiasts, so we frequently visit restaurants, cafes, or newly opened dining spots that pique our interest. Occasionally, we also venture to malls or catch a movie. On certain occasions, we meet at a sports ground to engage in activities like basketball.

4. What do you usually do with your friends?

• Apart from playing basketball and going out to eat, we enjoy playing computer games or visiting the mall. We’re also fans of food trips, like trying out different dishes in night markets.
• In addition to playing games, such as basketball or indoor games, we also like to unwind by going to a KTV to have fun, socialize, and interact with the ladies. If we have some free time, we might even go clubbing.

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

• Yes, there’s my friend named “Insert Name” whom I’ve known since primary school. Although we’ve grown apart over the years, we still keep in touch. We may not see each other frequently, but we make sure to chat from time to time.
• Yes, I have a friend named [Insert Name], and we’ve been friends since our primary school days. While we may not be as close as we once were, we still maintain our friendship and chat regularly.
