we play sports in the park near school or go to the
cinema. Apart from my dassmates, I've got one other
(d) close friend. His name's Adrian and hes a friend
of my cousin. In fact, I met him at my cousin's house
The first time I chatted to Adrian, we found that we
(e) see eye to eye on lots of things. There are many
things that we (f) have in common. We like the same
sports, the same subjects at school, the same TV
programmes... Maybe that's no surprise, because
(g) get on really well with my cousin, too. Adrian and
I never (h) have arguments with each other and we've

an argument one day, we would () make it up very
