Keeping in touch with friends

1:17

So, Georgie, you said that you have lived in lots of places,

1:17

and I know you have lived in Spain.

1:20

So, do you have lots of friends in Spain?

1:24

Yes, I have a few friends in Spain.

1:27

But now that I live in London, it's quite difficult to stay in touch with them.

1:33

But, actually, one of them is coming to visit this weekend.

1:38

Ah! So you try to 'keep in touch with' some of your friends.

1:42

That means 'to keep contact with them',

1:45

to make sure that you stay friends by speaking to them.

1:50

Yes, exactly.

1:51

And if you have a lot of friends,

1:54

it can be difficult to stay in touch with so many.

1:58

What do you like to do with your friends, Neil?

2:01

Well, I like to talk to them, mainly.

2:05

So, I like to meet them maybe in a pub or a restaurant,

2:10

or we go to a sports match sometimes and we...

2:15

and we talk there and have a good time.

2:18

— That sounds nice. — How about you?

2:20

Yes, I'm the same.

2:22

During the week I think a nice plan is to go out for dinner with friends.

2:27

At the weekends, I like going for a walk or getting a coffee with friends.

2:33

Mm, you can do both of those at the same time!
