Part 1 – Interview
Q: About the location where you live and do you want to change your house?
Well, I live in a medium-sized city called Ludhiana in Punjab, and I’ve been living here for quite a few years now. Honestly speaking, I really like my neighbourhood — it’s peaceful, has all the basic amenities nearby, and the people are friendly. At this point, I don’t have any serious plans to change my house, but if in the future I get a better job opportunity in a different city, then I might consider moving.
Part 2 – Cue Card
Describe a moment when you thought badly about a person, but after some time you became really good friends.
If I recall correctly, there was this incident back in my second year of college. At that time, there was a classmate named Rahul. The first time I saw him, I honestly thought he was arrogant and unfriendly. He would barely talk to anyone and often sat alone during breaks, so I assumed he had a bit of an attitude problem.
Things changed when we were put in the same group for a project. To be honest, I wasn’t thrilled at first, but after working together, I realised he was actually a very humble and down-to-earth person. He was just introverted and didn’t know how to start conversations.
We started hanging out more, having lunch together, and sharing random stories. By the end of that semester, we had become really close friends. Even today, we’re still in touch, and I trust him a lot. This experience taught me that first impressions are not always correct, and we should give people a fair chance before making a judgment.
Part 3 – Discussion
Q: Do you think it’s easy to make friends?
Well, it depends. For some people, making friends is natural because they’re outgoing and social. But for introverts, it can be a bit challenging. I think the environment also matters — in schools or workplaces, it’s easier because you see the same people daily.
Q: Why do people make friends?
In my opinion, humans are social beings, so having friends gives emotional support, helps in sharing experiences, and just makes life more enjoyable. Friends are there to celebrate your successes and also stand by you during tough times.
Q: Are childhood friends more valuable than friends made later in life?
I’d say yes, to some extent. Childhood friends grow up with you, so they know you inside out. But friends made later in life can also be very valuable because they’re often based on shared interests or mutual respect.
Q: How can people maintain friendships?
Well, the main thing is effort. Even if life gets busy, you should take out time to meet or at least call your friends. Regular communication and being there for each other in both good and bad times is the key.
Q: Do you think technology has made it easier to make friends?
Definitely. These days, social media platforms and messaging apps have made it super easy to connect with people, even from different parts of the world. But I still believe face-to-face meetings create stronger bonds than online chats.
