How has your social life changed compared with a few years ago?

C1Social life & going outReflect

A natural way to answer

It's become quieter and more selective. I used to go out very often, but now I value smaller, deeper connections. I've gradually drifted apart from some acquaintances and grown closer to a few real friends.

Key phrases to use

  • grow out of — to stop enjoying or doing something as you get older“I've grown out of late-night clubbing.”
  • drift apart — to slowly become less close to someone over time“We were close at school but we've drifted apart since.”
