Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 37.
When I saw her name on the screen, it took me right back to the moment she had moved away
with her family ten years before. We had been such close friends at primary school. To begin with, she and
I had not hit it off, perhaps because we were both timid. We had quickly got over that, though, and as time
went on, we had become really good friends, until you almost never saw one of us without the other.
And now so much time apart there was her name. She had sent me a friend request I knew she
had been living abroad and her profile picture showed her on the beach. I had been expecting her to
look different after ten years. The girl in the photo was the same old Lauren, though.
Nowadays it is easy to fine old friends thanks to social networking sites. There are lots of
stories about long lost friends getting back in touch after years apart. It was odd because I had been
thinking about our friendship too and now here she was.
She told me about the place where she had been living for the past ten years, and I told her
about things that had happened to me. Before long, the years melted away and we were the same
two girls who had spent so much time together. Of course, true friends are loyal and listen to you
when you are down. And they are the people you have fun with. But deep down, I realised that the
truest friends are those you are most yourself with. Ạnd, that is something that never changes. That is
what Lauren and I learned that day, the day we realised our friendship was so precious and had never
really ended in the first place.
