At B1, thirteen-to-fifteen-year-olds can reflect on their friendships rather than just describe them. These 50 questions ask early teens to discuss what qualities they value most in friends, how they deal with disagreements, whether online friendships count as real friendships, and how their social life has changed since primary school.
Vocabulary expands into the emotional and social: words like 'trust', 'loyalty', 'argument', 'forgive', 'support', and 'jealousy' sit alongside intermediate structures like 'I think the most important thing is...', 'when we disagree, we usually...', and 'compared to primary school...' that help B1 speakers produce the reflective, reasoned responses this level requires.
Reflection and Growth at B1
Early teens are experiencing rapid social change, and giving them language to discuss it is both linguistically productive and emotionally supportive. When a fourteen-year-old explains what trust means in a friendship, they are practising definition, exemplification, and opinion language simultaneously. The topic does the scaffolding work naturally.
Keeping Discussions Safe and Productive
Establish clear norms: discuss ideas about friendship, not specific people or situations. This keeps conversations analytical rather than gossipy. YapYapGo's pair format creates intimate discussion spaces, and rotating partners ensures students encounter diverse perspectives on social topics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frame questions as being about friendship in general, not specific friendships. Model responses that discuss qualities and principles rather than naming individuals.
Yes. Questions address friendship broadly without gendered assumptions. Mixed-gender pairs often produce the most interesting discussions about different friendship styles.
Absolutely. The social and emotional learning embedded in these discussions overlaps directly with PSHE themes around healthy relationships, conflict resolution, and empathy.
