You need to borrow something from a friend for an important upcoming occasion. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: - explain what you need to borrow and why you do not have one yourself - describe the occasion you need it for - reassure your friend how you will look after it and when you will return it

You have heard from a mutual friend that your close friend has been going through an extremely stressful period at work and has not been sleeping or eating well. You are concerned and want to offer support.

Your close friend's birthday is coming up soon, but you are unable to attend the celebration they have planned because of a commitment you cannot change.

You have recently moved back to the town where you grew up and would like to reconnect with a childhood friend you lost touch with several years ago.

You are housesitting at a friend's apartment while they are travelling abroad. During your stay, you have had a series of escalating disputes with one of their neighbours that you feel your friend needs to know about.

Your friend has written to you asking for your honest opinion about whether they should leave their stable job to pursue a career in something they are passionate about. You have given this serious thought.

You have recently discovered that a former classmate from your university is now living in the same city as you. You would like to reconnect with them.
