Speaker A1 way to keep friendships fresh is to keep having unusual experiences.0:08
My friends and I have a sort of competition who can come up with the craziest idea for something to do together.0:15
We've got some great memories and we always have something to talk about.0:23
Speaker B Friends are great for giving you advice on relationships, on school work and on fashion.0:28
We go to the shopping centre together and decide what to buy.0:36
Not only is it a good way to make sure your new purchases suit you, it means we don't accidentally buy the same thing.0:41
Speaker C Because I'm studying in the us, I can't be with my friends from my town.0:50
Luckily, thanks to social media and especially instant messaging, we're always in touch.0:57
Still, I'm looking forward to finishing here and seeing them in person.1:03
Speaker D Some people go out on the town at weekends, but my friends and I have a different arrangement.1:09
One of us organises an event at their house.1:18
It's usually watching a new DVD or playing a computer game.1:21
It's cheap and great fun.1:26
Speaker E There's something about being physically active with people your own age.1:30
That's why my best friends are the other people on my water polo team.1:37
After practice and matches, we go out for a meal together.1:43
Some of my colleagues at work play indoor football and sometimes I join them.1:47
It's definitely good for building relationships.1:51
Speaker F I suppose it always happens when you leave school or university.1:56
You move away, get settled in a job and in the evenings you just want to sit on the sofa in front of the tv.2:03
That's why I'm delighted to get invitations to birthdays, weddings or New Year parties.2:11
It's a great chance to catch up.2:16
