Unit 1 speaking pratice | Tài liệu Tiếng Anh

My friend is feeling that she doesn’t spend enough time with different groups of people, and she wants to improve her social life. In my opinion, the first thing she should do is spend more time with classmates or work colleagues.

The main reason is that they are people she already sees regularly, so it is easier and less stressful to start with them. For example, she can begin by having lunch together, joining group discussions, or taking part in small activities after class or work. This does not require much preparation, but it helps build confidence and improve communication skills.

In addition, classmates or colleagues often share similar interests, goals, or daily experiences. Because common conversations usually feel more natural, and friendships can develop more quickly.

The other options are less suitable as a first step. Joining a social club or volunteer group may be helpful later, but it can be hard for someone who already struggles with social interaction. Meeting completely new people requires confidence, which she may not have yet. Meanwhile, meeting family more often is emotionally comfortable, but it does not really expand her social circle. Family members already know her, so there is little chance to practice communication skills or form new friendships. For example, having dinner with relatives every weekend may feel relaxing, but it does not help her learn how to connect with people of the same age or similar interests.
