question: how often do you socialise with friends? 7 ways to develop an extended answer 1. explanation -> connctive word : because.. i socialise with friends most evenings after work and at weekends BECAUSE i live on my own which often gets me down. Going out with friends or having them round means that i don’t feel so lonely. 2. combined details -> word : and during the week, i generally meet up with friends two evenings after work AND on saturdays, i go shopping with my best friend. Sundays i save for seeing my family. 3. examples -> word : like, for instance i usually see my closest friends several times a week. LIKE this week, i’m meeting my best friend for a drink this evening, then we’re going to the cinema with some girls from work on friday, and on saturday we’re all meeting up at a party 4. frequency -> common words : always, usually, NORMALLY, GENERALLY (usually), OFTEN, FREQUENLY, sometimes, OCCASIONALLY (infrequent), SELDOM (rarely), RARELY, never, HARDLY EVER (almost never) i NORMALLY see friends most days of the week, especially my best friend who i GENERALLY catch up with after work. at the weekends, a group of us OFTEN go to the park to play football or chill out. 5. contrast -> words : but, ALTHOUGH, HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH, DESPITE, WHILE i try to meet up with friends several times a week BUT rarely on a sunday because that’s when i visit my family. HOWEVER, every few months i cook a barbequr sunday lunch and invite both my friends and family around. 6. past comparisons -> used ti i USED TO socialise with my friends every day but i don’t see them so often now that i have a baby and can’t go out in the evenings so much. we probably meet up just a few times a mongh now. 7. future -> will, plan to currently, i hardly see my friends at all as i spend all my spare time studying for my ielts exam. when i pass the exam, I’LL meet up with my mates most evenings like i used to do and spend weekends with them as well.
