How often do you go out with friends? [Why/Why not?]
Well, I have to say I’m quite an outgoing person and I spend a lot of time hanging out with my friends. I guess I will go out with friends every week if both of us have time for such leisure. Since we are all busy with our study and work every day, it is quite important for us to spare some time for pure enjoyment without worrying about pressure from colleagues, teachers and other kinds of laborious stuff. And a gathering on weekends is quite an opportunity to escape from them and enjoy ourselves.
Tell me about your best friend at school.
如果自己身份已经不是学生,注意时态应该为过去。
My best friend at school is one of my roommates, with whom I spent quite a happy 4-year campus life. He was a man who strictly followed his routine in terms of daily schedule for entertainment and study, about which I have to admit that I am kind of a spoiled kid obeying no rules. I should definitely learn to make plans for my life from him. Also, he is also a man with traits that you can never find from a dull clockwork person. The other two roommates and I myself are always accompanied by his stories about all kinds of things with wit and humor into sleep. Without him, I can not have such a fulfilling school life.
How friendly are you with your neighbors? [Why/Why not?]
To be honest, I do not know too much about my neighbors as we seldom meet each other, for which getting along is beyond imagination. The current design of Chinese neighborhood separate families into a kind of cells. They are all isolated from the community as a whole. The doors just keep everybody out of the territory of folks. Therefore I cannot say I am quite familiar with my neighbors.
Which is more important to you, friends or family? [Why?]
I believe these two all mean a lot to a person’s life and it is extremely hard to weigh one against another. We are bonded with our family by blood since the very beginning of our life and they accompany us through all hardships and gaiety. As for friends, we make acquaintances with them as we grow older and they are the people we spend most of the time outside our home. Unlike our family, they could share insights with us from a quite different perspective, which can be enlightening in many cases.
