READING (SRQ)
Read a selection of posts which give advice to foreign students on how to make friends in the
UK. In the five questions below, choose the correct letter (A-D) of the person the sentence
refers to.
A
When I first arrived in the UK, I wanted to meet lots of native speakers, so I put an
advert in a newspaper stating that I was looking for friends. I remember the advert went
out on the Thursday and that day I received roughly 80 phone calls and about 130 text
messages. Everything was a little out of control and not as I had imagined. There was no
way I could befriend that many people. Also, some of the people that contacted me were
clearly not native speakers and I found it difficult to understand them. I decided to dump
that idea and the following week I joined a language exchange group. In the beginning, I
wasn't keen on the idea, but a friend of mine spoke highly of it. I thought that the people
would be really boring, but they aren't at all. They are really interesting and outgoing.
We meet once a week for a couple of hours. There are roughly 30 people in the group -
half of them are native speakers and the rest from different countries around the world,
so there are plenty of people to make friends with! - Ana
B
I work in a small coffee shop in the centre of my town seven days a week, which means
not only do I get to practise my English with countless native speakers, but I also have
the chance to make friends. I have made several friends who are actually customers. The
first person that I met, Tony, is a regular customer and after a couple of weeks of
constantly discussing football players and teams, he invited me to watch him play. Since
then, I've joined his football club and we typically meet twice a week. Len is another
friend I've made. We share a love of films and we go to the cinema as much as we can.
So my advice to you is to prepare your CV and start job hunting. There are plenty of
websites and agencies that you can sign up to. A job in a coffee shop or a restaurant is
ideal for meeting people, as part of your job is talking to and entertaining customers or,
as I think of them, potential friends. Good luck! - Dieter
C
If you had asked me three months ago what the key was to making friends in the UK, I
would have told you I didn't know. But now, I definitely know the answer. I've been
living in shared accommodation for one month now and it has had an extremely positive
effect on my life. Before this I didn't go out in the evenings, I ate on my own and I stayed
in every weekend. Now, it seems my life is completely the opposite. I live in a house with
three other people ranging from 21 to 35 years old. Each of my flatmates works in a
different field and has different hobbies, and that's what makes things so interesting.
One of them is a chef and he cooks for us all once a week. The food he cooks is
delicious. It's very different from the food in my country. Another flatmate is a
hairdresser and she has already cut my hair twice! - Hassan
D
I must admit I had a pretty clear idea of how I was going to find friends in the UK. In fact,
I started before I came. I used an Internet site called FriendfinderUK. It's simple to use
and you can use filters to look for people by area, age, interest and gender. I was looking
for people who were into films and writing. I made one friend, Geoff, before I arrived in
Manchester, and he not only met me at the airport but gave me a tour of the city. Since
then I've made a number of acquaintances using the site, but Geoff is the only one I
would say is a friend. He introduced me to his writing group and we meet every
Wednesday and practise our writing skills, and then afterwards we just chat in English. I
know some people who think working in an English environment is the best way to
improve fluency, but I think to make friends, you can't beat a well-organised website. -
