Try another listening

when I take my son to park, gathering, event and ets, I frequently meet new people.

In my case it is difficult to meet new people because I spend a lot of time in my work and there I don´t have the opportunity to join with others only with my mates. Even though I'll like to join with different groups.

I don't meet people frequently because I don't travel a lot. But sometimes at work I meet poeple.

i ever meet someone in 2 pass years ago, and yesterday i meet her.

i sometimes meet new people at school or at work

In my job i meet offten new people, usually stakeholders and people that we collaborate. There are people who i saw them once, and people who i have work for a long time together, I'm trying always to be friendly and polite with them.

When i step out of the house i get to meet some of my neighbours but these days even that is not possible due to the current situation.

i sometimes meet new people in my work place... bxz i have worked a bank that so many people come to in my office and borrow money...for this reason i meet new people. although i would like to meet foriegn people that they come from onther country. bxz i know new culture, new language, new ideas it can help me to know better our world....
