文本
H: how are you doing, Andrew?
A: not well. I’ve been feeling pretty lonely lately.
H: but you have so many friends! How could you be lonely?
A: you know what they say: a friend to all is a friend to none. I don’t feel like I really know any of my friends. In fact, I should call them acquaintances, not friends.
H: what about me? I’m your friend.
A: I know you are, you are my girlfriend. I wish I had a guy friend to hang out with sometimes.
H: I know what you mean. I find it difficult to make new friends, too. It’s not as easy as it was when we were young, is it?
A: not at all.
H: I’ve made a lot of new friends since I started learning English. Maybe you could join a club or take a class to make some new friends.
A: that’s a good idea.
H: what kind of qualities do you look for in a friend?
A: I’m not sure. I guess I’d like to meet some people who have a positive attitude and want to have a good time.
H: people who play ultimate Frisbee have a positive attitude; maybe you should join the ultimate Frisbee club.
A: that’s a possibility. Thanks!
