IELTS GT Task 2 Essay: Discussion — Family & friends

Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.

Some people maintain a large circle of friends. Others prefer a few very close friends. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Examiner focus: Support depth versus network breadth across life stages — a psychological, not moral, comparison.
