What have you been doing recently? · How have you been spending your time?
This is your go-to phrase when you haven't seen someone in a while and want a friendly update on their life! 🤗 It's not usually about asking for a precise list of tasks, but more about their general well-being and activities. Think of it as a warm "How's life been treating you?" with a dash of curiosity! ✨
💡 **Pro Tip!** If someone looks super busy, you can add a compliment or observation, like "You look busy! What have you been up to?" 🤫 Common replies often start with "Not much, just...", "I've been busy with...", or "I've been working on...". It's a fantastic conversation starter to reconnect! 😉
When would you most naturally use 'What have you been up to?' A. 🗣️ When you are asking a stranger for directions on the street. B. 👋 When you meet an old friend you haven't seen in months. C. 🏢 When you are interviewing a candidate for a job position.
