《An old friend you had lost touch with but got in contact with again 與老友重逢》是《雅思口說當季真經全詳解》Sep-Dec 2024 中收錄的雅思口說 part 3 延伸 part 2 cue card 的考題。問題內容如下（節錄）：

1. Why do we have to give up some old friends?
   為什麼我們不得不放棄一些老朋友？

   點此看中文

   我們有時不得不放棄老朋友，因為我們的生活會隨著時間而改變。例如，人們可能會因為工作或學業而搬到新的城市，這樣就更難保持聯繫了。我們的興趣和優先事項也會發生變化，因此我們可能不再與老朋友有太多共同之處。如果一段友誼變得片面或不健康，那麼最好的辦法可能就是離開。放棄老朋友並不意味著我們不關心他們，而是成長和適應新環境的一部分。

   We sometimes have to give up old friends because our lives change over time. For example, people might move to a new city for work or school, making it harder to stay in touch. Our interests and priorities also change, so we may no longer have much in common with old friends. If a friendship becomes one-sided or unhealthy, it might be better to move on. Letting go of old friends doesn’t mean we don’t care about them, but it’s part of growing up and adapting to new circumstances.

2. Why do people need to make new friends?
   人們為什麼需要結交新朋友？

   點此看中文

   人們需要結交新朋友來成長和適應人生的不同階段。例如，在開始一份新工作或進入一所新學校時，結交新朋友能讓我們感覺到更多的聯繫和支持。新朋友可以向我們介紹新想法、新活動和新體驗。他們還能提供新的觀點和建議，這對我們面對不同的挑戰很有幫助。留住老朋友固然重要，結交新朋友也能讓我們建立一個多樣化和平衡的社交網路。

   People need to make new friends to grow and adapt to different stages of life. For example, when starting a new job or going to a new school, making new friends helps us feel more connected and supported. New friends can introduce us to new ideas, activities, and experiences. They also offer fresh perspectives and advice, which can be helpful as we face different challenges. While keeping old friends is important, making new ones allows us to build a diverse and balanced social network.

3. Do you think you are good at maintaining good relationships with others?
   你認為自己善於與他人保持良好關係嗎？

   點此看中文

   我認為我相當善於與他人保持良好的關係。只要有機會，我就會給朋友發資訊或與他們見面，儘量與他們保持聯繫。例如，我喜歡組織集體出遊或一起喝咖啡。我還會傾聽朋友們的問題，並在他們需要時提供支援。然而，當生活變得忙碌時，維持人際關係可能會很困難，所以我需要提醒自己，要為那些對我很重要的人留出時間。

   點此看英文

   I think I’m fairly good at maintaining good relationships with others. I try to stay in touch with my friends by messaging or meeting them whenever I can. For example, I like to organize group outings or catch up over coffee. I also make sure to listen to my friends’ problems and offer support when they need it. However, maintaining relationships can be challenging when life gets busy, so I need to remind myself to make time for the people who are important to me.

4. Is it better to have a lot of friends than just a few friends?
   朋友多比朋友少好嗎？

   點此看中文

   朋友多好還是朋友少好取決於個人喜好。有很多朋友會很有趣，因為這給了你更多的社交選擇，你可以從不同的人身上學到東西。例如，你可能會有喜歡不同愛好的朋友，這樣你就可以嘗試新事物。然而，有些人喜歡只有幾個親密的朋友，因為他們喜歡更深層次的關係，更信任這些朋友。重要的是，要在友誼的數量和聯繫的品質之間取得平衡。

   點此看英文

   Whether it’s better to have a lot of friends or just a few depends on personal preference. Having many friends can be fun because it gives you more social options, and you can learn from different people. For example, you might have friends who enjoy different hobbies, so you get to try new things. However, some people prefer to have just a few close friends because they enjoy deeper relationships and trust those friends more. It’s important to balance the quantity of friendships with the quality of the connections you have.
