Question: Have you ever made any new friends through a hobby?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Yes, I have made new friends through a hobby.

Reason: Hobbies are often social activities that bring people together. When people engage in hobbies, they have the opportunity to meet new people who share their interests.

Example: For example, I joined a hiking group a few months ago and have since made several new friends. We meet regularly to go on hikes, and it has been a great way to connect with people who enjoy the same activity as me.

Alternative: While it is possible to make new friends through hobbies, it is important to remember that not everyone will be compatible. It may take time to find the right group or activity that matches your interests.
