CELPIP Speaking Task 1 Friend Balancing Studies and Social Life

Your friend is struggling to balance their studies and social life. They feel like they’re either studying too much or spending too much time with friends. What advice would you give them?

“Balancing studies and a social life can be tricky, but there are ways to manage both. First, try creating a schedule where you set aside specific times for studying and for socializing. For example, you could focus on studies during the week and leave weekends free for spending time with friends. Another idea is to join a study group. This way, you can combine studying and socializing at the same time. With a bit of organization, you can have a healthy balance. Just take it one step at a time, and you’ll get there!”
