FRIENDSHIP

 
Don't forget to drop me a line!

Ryan finds a new job in New York and is about to move there. He doesn't want his friendship with Adriana to drift apart.  He wants to keep in touch. 

Adriana: I heard you're moving to New York.

Ryan: Yes.  I've got an offer in upstate New York.

Adriana: Oh, that's great!  But I'm going to miss you.

Ryan: Me, too.  Let's keep in touch.

Adriana: Yeah.  Don't forget to drop me a line when you settle down.

Ryan: Trust me.  I won't. I'll keep you posted.

Adriana: You have my address?

Ryan: Well, I have your e-mail address.

Adriana: All right!  I look forward to hearing from you soon.  Good luck!  


 

It's hard to keep up contact!

After so many years, Frank is still in touch with most of his friends from high school, while Sarah has lost contact with most of her buddies 

Frank: I just received a letter from one of my old high school buddies.

Sarah: That's nice!

Frank: Well, actually I haven't heard from him in ages.

Sarah: To be frank with you, I've been out of touch with most of my old friends.  Only one or two still keep me posted about what they are doing.

Frank: I know.  It's really hard to maintain contact when people move around so much.

Sarah: That's right.  People just drift apart! But you're lucky to be back in touch with your buddy again.

Honesty is the best policy!

Jon thinks that his roommate is taking advantage of him.  Terri suggests that Jon have a talk with his roommate to get things straight

Terri: How are things going with you and your roommate?

Jon: Not very well.  We're supposed to share the groceries, but I end up feeding him three meals a day.  My grocery bill is huge, you know.  I really can't afford it any longer

Terri: I know how you feel.  I used to have a roommate like that.  He never offered to reimburse me for anything. 

Jon: I'm really fed up with his freeloading, but I just don't know how to tell him that he should come up with half the grocery bill, because sometimes he treats me to a meal in a restaurant.

Terri: Well, honesty is the best policy.  Maybe you just want to have a heart-to-heart, friend-to-friend talk with him.  If he refuses to mend his ways, then ask him to move out.  You can't let him wear out his welcome.
