Eg.  Happy/sad

Eg.  Rich/poor

absent =/= present

Homework:

Which do you think is better, to have many friends or just a few close friends?

I think these are both important, because people need to social with more friends and to know many different types of people. They also need some close friends to talk about something that it can’t to share with.

Edit:

I think these are both important, because people need to socialize/be social with more friends and know many different types of people. They also need some close friends to share important topics with/ to have real conversations with.

  • For example:
    • Friends that you party with.
    • Friends that you have an emotional connection to.

(Harmony’s example)

  • For example, my one friend Gary I really like to go out and be social with. He’s really fun at parties and always likes to have a good time.  But, I find it challenging to talk to him about anything important.  Our friendship isn’t at the point yet. 
  • On the other hand, I have two best friends who live in my hometown, anytime anything important happens or I need help with something they are always there for me. 

 

Challenging:  hard/ complex/difficult.

Eg.  I find it hard/ I find it challenging.

Important things/sensitive topics/ real topics

Are most of your friends from school, or from outside school?

Most of my friends are from outside school, because I usually make friends at a bar or at parties. Some of my them are friends of friends that I met.

  • Hometown vs. Shanghai
    • Some of my friends are my high school classmates in my hometown. And when I moved to Shanghai I had to make all new friends!  I started by going to the bar, and meeting as many people as possible!

*** if your answer is too short, just give an example/tell a story.

  • Hey, did you still want to practice together? What’s your schedule like?
  • I had fun dancing with you last night!! Let me know when we can practice together!

Casual—opposite of formal.
