1. I’m part of a football team and I get on well with my teammates. We usually go out together after a match. I think it’s really important that teammates can get on with each other on and off the pitch. It helps you to play a better game.
2. Every day I work with the same people. Luckily, I’m friendly with most of my colleagues. I also have a really good manager. I look up to her.
3. I message my parents a lot. I like to stay in touch with them by video call, too. My grandparents were very important to me so I want my children to have a good relationship with my parents. My daughter takes after my mother. They’re very similar in many ways.
4. I would say my partner is my best friend, but I also have a group of close friends and we sometimes play music together. We try to meet once a month.
