are less reliable.

2. Do you think it is impossible to make real friends on

the internet? the relationship forward:

Well, I think it depends on how we define “real friends” as well
as the distance between them.
In fact, when we communicate closely over time with someone
online, see how they react to different ideas and problems,
share their concern for others, and then finally extend that into
helping each other through difficult times and worries with the
much-needed support and advice, we could certainly count it as
a real friendship.
Real friendship, in my opinion, is not about how or where we
meet them, but rather how we choose to carry the relationship
forward.

quality time with our friends.
Additionally, we Might Be Growing in Different Directions.
Sometimes friends drift apart because they stop having the
same interests and they no longer find many things in common.
It only shows that not everything is meant to last forever and
we have to accept that.
4. What do you think it takes to become friends?
Honesty /ˈɑː.nə.sti/
Well generally it's my belief that the most important
things are that friends need to share common interests and vital /ˈvaɪ.t̬ əl/
be honest with each other.
Friends are people we spend a lot of time with, so it trustworthy /ˈtrʌstˌwɝː.ði/

and of course, we need to be able to trust our friends, so
honesty is vital for a good friendship.

who didn’t have anything in common with me, or who
wasn’t reliable or trustworthy.
5. What do you talk about with your friends?

documentaries because I can learn so much about the wild
animals' behavior, habitat, and anything which I didn't
learn in school.
This program is usually shown on VTV2 everyday at 8.30
in the evening. It often lasts about 45 minutes. In this
program, stories of the life of many animals in the world
are told in a very lively way.
For example, people can watch films about monkeys,
snakes, tigers, insects, birds, sea turtles, sharks, et cetera,
and even the penguins and the polar bears in the far North.
While watching these films, I find the everyday life
activities and habits of these animals very interesting and
full mysteries.
In addition, I also learn that it is very important to protect
these animals and their living environments became they
are part of our valuable natural world. Watching this
program makes me very well informed and relaxed after a
day of work.

4. (agree/disagree) game shows and chat shows are a

From my perspective, it depends.
For me, some game shows are a source of knowledge. We
can learn a lot from watching a TV show, especially game
shows based on real life, professions, event or experiences,
or education.
It’s an essential need if we take a reasonable time to watch
