Sample Answer
How often do you visit your relatives?
I don’t visit them as often as I’d like to. But my grandma lives very close to me. She’s practically a hop, skip, and a jump away. So basically I check in with her about once a week. She always cooks something special for me. Getting to visit her is such a treat.
What do you do when visiting relatives?
I usually just have a nice chat with them. I’m often caught up with work, so I don’t have that much time to hang out. But I love getting to sit down and talk. It’s such a treat to just hear about what’s going on with them. I also like sharing what’s happening in my life and getting some advice.
When was the last time you visited a relative?
It’s been too long. I think the last time I visited a relative was a month ago. I’ve been so busy with finishing up school. You know, I’ve had to study for so many exams. But before things got crazy, I visited my grandma and had a nice chat with her. It was a great way to blow off steam.
Do you prefer visiting your friends or your relatives?
Don’t get me wrong, I love my family. But I think I prefer visiting my friends. We just have way more in common. It’s a lot easier to strike up a conversation with them. And I feel like I can just cut loose and be myself around them. It’s just a lot more natural.
Why do people visit their relatives?
I suppose that people visit their relatives as a way to stay close to their family. You know, nowadays it’s easy to neglect relationships with your family. There’s lots of other stuff that seems more important, like work or school. But when you visit with your relatives, you help strengthen your bonds with them.
