(A2) Writing: Real friends? Write an answer of about 150 words to this posting found in a discussion forum online. Include the following points: • the difference between “real” friends and friends on Facebook • the number of people that you would consider as friends (give reasons) 3 Friends on Facebook are not real friends – it’s so superficial. How many people can you really stay in touch with? 10? – 40? – 400? I know people who boast that they have more than 1,000. They can’t really mean it … Can write personal letters giving news and expressing thoughts about abstract or cultural topics such as music, films.
