10. What Are Friends For？
Jane meets her old friend， Fred.
J： Hi， Fred！ How's everything？
F： Not so good， I'm afraid. Supporting a family is becoming more and more difficult these days.
J： What you say can't be more true. Everything is so expensive. I can hardly make ends meet myself.
F： Oh， really？ Do you need any money？ What I have is not much， but I can loan you some.
J： I'm OK. Thanks for being so thoughtful anyway.
