5. What advice can you give Tanya to make friends?

I am a little introvert. I find it very hard to make friends. I don’t go out very often and I usually don’t talk to people if they don’t talk to me. When someone talks to me, I get nervous and don’t really listen to what they say; I forget everything they say the minute they stop talking! I try to end the conversation as soon as I can and leave. I do like social media, though. I spend hours on end on Instagram, Tik-Tok and so on. I have thousands of friends on social media, but I don’t usually talk to them. I really want to make friends and be able to talk to people. What should I do?

6. Talk for a few minutes about the following things.

1. The best / worst series you have ever seen.
2. The most interesting / least interesting video game you have ever played.
3. The most beautiful / least beautiful place you have ever been.
4. The fastest / slowest vehicle you have ever driven.
5. The most important / least important activities you have to do tomorrow.
