A friend has told you that he or she feels lonely in their new city away from their family. Write to you friend and: •Explain why people can feel this way • Give some ideas on how to solve the problem • Ask your friend to contact you and tell you if this works.

Dear Phoenix, I hope you are doing well. I am so sorry to hear that you have been feeling lonely in your new life in Vancouver, especially since you have been always an extroverted person. It is completely understandable why you experience
such
emotions when you are in an unfamiliar setting, away from the comfort and familiarity of loved ones. Upon moving to a new place, we leave behind the support system that we have built over time. The absence of friends and family leads to feelings of isolation because we are suddenly exposed to new environments, cultures, people and habits. To address
this
problem, I suggest that you should take time to explore your surroundings. I believe that the more you familiarize yourself with your new city, the more it will start feeling like home.
Additionally
, you should spend time discovering your interests. By engaging in activities,
such
as participating in social clubs and sports teams, you can have valuable opportunities to meet and make friends with like-minded people, sharing your passions and perspectives. Please keep in touch and let me know if these solutions work for you. Stay strong and I believe that you will overcome
this
matter soon. Lots of love, Lana
