There have been « lot of scientific studies into what makes friendship. i seems today that ideas of whot friendship is are «also changing. A study in 1993 ot the University of Oxford showed that people could only maintain 150 relationships However, with the explosion of social media since then, ‘many people now have over 300 people who they think of {8 Friends. Some people think that these friends are no! real friends, but others believe that social media has helped us to expand and keep our friendships because we have more time and opportunities Another change from the past is that people don't stay in the place where they were born. They go to diferent cities and countries for education and jobs. People are in general more geographically mobile nowadays. This means that we have more chances to meet and make friends with people from different cultures ond different backgrounds. People sill often make friends ot college who remain fiends for life, but Tay Nl Semel aay | Pall SOCIAL MEDIA AND moking new friends of work is more dificult, People now have less securily at work and this also means that they find it harder to build new relationships. ‘As people get older, they sometimes also have less free time. They become busier with their jobs and families and have less time to spend with friends. Friendships can be very different when we are at different ages. Young children often choose their friends because of convenience, for example, they go to the same school, they live near each other or their parents are friends. As we get older, friendships are more connected with having similar interests and opinions ‘One thing is definitely true though, it doesr't matter how old wwe are oF how many friends we have on social media, friendship is good for our health. People who spend time with friends have fewer mental health problems and are generally happier and in o beter physical state of health than people who spend their free fime alone. ‘Answer the questions below. Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each answer. 1 What has enabled people to have more friends thanin the past, according to some people? 2 What phrase does the writer use to describe people who don’t stay in the same place? 3 What work-related problem do people have that makes them less likely to form friendships? 4 What frequently influences the friendships of young children? 5 What are people with friends less likely to suffer from? unrror aeaoingIN THIS UNIT YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO «describe aprocess (Writing Part 1) ‘use sequencing expressions to describe the ‘order of stagesin a process ‘use the present simple| todescribe a proces ‘write an introduction ‘nd overview. —. at What foods do you eat at a family celebration?
