Would you rather have a large circle of friends or just a few very close ones?

A natural way to answer

I'd choose a few close friends. For me, depth matters more than numbers. I value having people who truly understand me and whom I can rely on, rather than a wide circle of acquaintances I rarely see.

Key phrases to use

• count on — to rely on someone to help or support you“I know I can count on her in a crisis.”
• wears me out — makes you very tired“Looking after the kids all day wears me out.”
• drop everything — to stop what you're doing immediately to help or attend to something“She'd drop everything if I needed her.”
• have my back — to support and defend you, especially when you need it“It's good to know my friends have my back.”
