Relationships

Lesson A

Circle of friends

1. Getting started

A. Listen and read the article. How did Christopher meet his friends?

Christopher Owen talks about his circle of friends.

1: My running buddy…

Well, Mike is the guy I run with in the morning. He’s the one who got me started running when I was in collage. It’s convenient because he lives right down the street.

2: My most exciting friend…

Jennifer is another friend from collage. Jen plays in a rock band that’s really hot right now, so her life is very different from mine. She still calls a lot to talk about all the things she’s doing. That’s kind of fun.

3: My roommate…

Toshiro is a guy that Jen introduced me to. He was looking for an apartment to share. It’s great because he’s a clean freak. I’ve never lived in a place that’s so clean.

4: A friend from work…

Nina is an interesting woman who sits across from me at work. She used to have a company that planned weddings for people. She has some funny stories to tell.

5: A new friend..

Then there’s Angela. She’s a new friend I met through Mike. She’s cool. She’s the kind of person you can just call and say, “You want to go see a movie tonight?” That kind of thing.

6: My oldest friend…

Charlie is someone I grew up with. We’ve been through a lot together. I can tell him just about anything. He’s just someone I can totally trust.
