Essay and article (B2 FCE, exercising for an exam)

1) What are the most important things we need to do to make and keep friends? Write about - keep in touch regularly, - always tell a friend the truth, - your own idea (140-190 words) / ESSAY

It seems that in the modern digital world where people are distancing themselves from each other more often than in the past, friendship is almost like a treasure that everyone wants to keep. But if you want to make and keep your friends, you need to do certain things. First, you need to keep in touch with your friend regularly because without regular contact even once-in-a-lifetime friendship will perish. Secondly, friend is a someone who I'm truly are, so in order to preserve a friendship friends should always tell the truth to each other. Thirdly, if you want to make a friendship with someone, you should hava a some experience in meeting people, which helps you to know human nature much better. In other words, you must be wise enough to predict who could be your true friend, and who couldn't. To sum up, the most important things to make and keep friends is keep i touch, always tell the truth and be a good judge of human nature.

2) Do you know how people your age in your country feel about the future? What oppurtunities are there for young people to get jobs or continue their studies after secondary school? (140-190 words) / ARTICLE

Have you ever thought what are you gonna be doing after secondary school and what kind of job will you get? If so, you're not alone. Many young people are continually asking themselves these sort of questions. And because we live in the uncertain times, most of young people I know feel insecure about their future. This statement should not be a surprise for use because what oppurtunities are waiting for young people in my country? If you're lucky, you will get a job in a marketing or in a store. On the other hand, if you want to start studying at university, you must be prepared that you won't stay at university after graduating and your diploma could means a little in a real world. Having that in mind, it seems obvious that many young people are looking into the future without enthusiasm and some of them even went abroad to find oppurtunities which are better than these in my country. To conclude, future is for them rather something which is going to happen with necessity than something on which they are waiting for.

What you wrote are two paragraphs. Were you asked to write an article and an essay?
 
No because I study by myself. No one asked me to do anything. When the exam begin, I will have to write an article and essay in one session, so when I'm preparing myself to it, I also write an article and essay in one session.

Another note: You're not exercizing (or exercising) for an exam. You're practicing for an exam.

Or use the noun, "exercise for an exam".

"Exercising" is not doing writing exercise but physical exercise ike jogging.

In order to understand some of the trends, I went to writix.co.uk/essay-examples/marketing where I read several articles in English that dealt with marketing. My advice to you is.
Great, this will be helpful to me as well, thanks for the links.
 
Speaking of the title, I've never had any friends. 😅
