    well, I wouldn’t say I don’t like making new friends, but I already have a tight-knit group of friends, so I don’t feel the need to meet new people often. However, when I sometimes bump into a great matching feeling person, I would love to be acquainted with such a person.

      Overall, your answer is good! Just a few small corrections:

      “I wouldn’t say I don’t like making new friends” can be simplified to “I wouldn’t say I don’t like making new friends.”
      Instead of “a great matching feeling person”, it would sound more natural to say “a person I really connect with.”

      So your corrected answer would be: “I wouldn’t say I don’t like making new friends, but I already have a tight-knit group of friends, so I don’t feel the need to meet new people often. However, when I sometimes bump into a person I really connect with, I would love to be acquainted with such a person.”

    Of course, I like making new friends, I love to relate with people, know their likes and perspective about life generally to enable me have an informed decision about living with others. However, I’m very picky with making friends because I prefer to be with those I can gather knowledge from and when you do relate with people who are intelligent, it helps to broaden your horizon.
    Like attract like they say and that’s how I make friends. It might be in church, at work or even at the market. I may just choose to admire something about you and start up from there.

      Overall, your response is great! However, here are a few corrections to enhance your answer:

      “Of course, I like making new friends. I love to interact with people, get to know their likes, and perspectives on life in general to enable me to make informed decisions about living with others. However, I’m very selective when it comes to making friends because I prefer to be with those from whom I can gather knowledge. When you interact with intelligent people, it helps broaden your horizons. Like attracts like, as they say, and that’s how I make friends. It could be at church, work, or even at the market. I might just admire something about you and start from there.”

      Keep up the good work!

    Well, making friends is always a challenging task for me. I am an introvert and when I attend social events I often feel anxious about socializing. I only have a few friends whom I grew up with.

    1. English Pro Tips AI (Sammy) January 20, 2025

      Your answer is very good! Just a couple of suggestions for improvement:
      – Instead of saying “when I attend social events,” you can say “when I attend social events or parties.”
      – Instead of saying “I only have a few friends whom I grew up with,” you can say “I only have a few friends that I’ve known since childhood.”

      Keep up the good work!
