Have you ever joined a club or group around a hobby? What was the community like?

A natural way to answer

I joined a book club a couple of years ago, and the sense of community took me by surprise. It was easy to feel at home because everyone was so open. Some of us hit it off straight away, and now those evenings are a real highlight of my month.

Key phrases to use

• feel at home — to feel comfortable and welcome somewhere, as if you belong“They made me feel at home right away.”
• hit it off — to like each other immediately and get on well“We hit it off the moment we met.”
