Word choice will vary.
1. They met when the interviewer interviewed Catherine for a teaching job. They became
friends after Catherine asked the interviewer to help her give her cat a flea bath. It was
difficult to do, but they had fun.
2. She values her job and takes teaching seriously. She finds that most of her friends have a
similar attitude toward work [a similar work ethic]. She thinks that a shared work ethic is
a good basis on which to build a friendship.
3. Catherine met Odette when they were in the same linguistics class in graduate school. She
thought Odette looked like a really “cool” person and she wanted to be friends with her,
but she thought Odette probably wouldn’t like her. She was intimidated by Odette. Then
they were in the same study group and started talking. Odette told her that she had felt the
same way about Catherine, so they became close friends.

C
Word choice will vary.
1. They worked together in the same place but didn’t know each other very well. Then Doug
moved overseas and they started writing letters to each other, and that is how they became
friends. They’ve been corresponding for over 20 years.
2. Catherine uses Skype to keep in touch with her friend Corey, who lives in Chicago. She
likes Skype because they can see each other, and she can see the room where he is sitting
and say hi to his wife Misayo if she comes into the room. Sometimes she and Misayo will
show each other what they have been knitting. Catherine even gets to see their dog
Peanut. She feels as if she has just dropped in for a visit.
Interview Part 3 – What friends do for each other
2 Summarizing what you have heard Pages 131–132
B
Word choices will vary. Some alternatives are given in brackets.
According to Catherine, one of the most important things that friends can do for each
other is call each other on things [let each other know when they are upset about something].
She believes that fighting is a way to show that you care. Other important things that friends
give one another are comfort, support, adventure, and jokes.
Catherine’s more recent friendships revolve around her son Leo; she thinks that being a
parent is such an all-consuming [a powerful] experience that it bonds a person [bonds you] to
people who are going through the same thing. However, she still maintains her old
friendships, thanks to e-mail, letters [snail mail], the phone, and Skype.
Finally, Catherine says that friends are “the family we get to choose.”

Wording will vary.
1. Many children are “overscheduled” with lessons and activities. The lecturer says that
children need unstructured time to develop friendships with other kids.
2. Adults spend a lot more time at work than in the past. So they have less time for family
and friends. They may also leave friends and family and move to a different city if their
work requires it.
3. It is replacing face-to-face interaction.
4. Social connectivity is not true friendship. It can help you maintain friendships that you
already have, but it is not an effective way to make new friendships.
