0:24

So, Georgie, how are you?

0:26

I'm very tired, actually.

0:27

I've had a lot of social plans lately. How about you?

0:31

Yeah. I'm fine. Social plans?

0:33

That's interesting, because we're talking about friends today.

0:37

Yes, we're talking about socialising, which means spending time

0:40

with people for fun.

0:42

So, Neil, do you like spending time with friends?

0:45

Yeah, I love spending time with my friends.

0:48

If I don't see my friends very often, I feel a bit sad and lonely.

0:54

So yeah, I really like seeing my friends,

0:56

but I don't get to see them very often because, you know, we're grown-ups

1:02

and we have responsibilities.

1:04

You have kids, you have lots of things going on.

1:08

I also like spending time with my friends.

1:10

I have lots of friends.

1:11

As I said, I've had a lot of social plans lately.

1:14

Pretty much every day I've been socialising.

1:17

Wow, so you like socialising but do you like things like parties or

1:23

do you prefer smaller social events?
