Polished transcript:

Male Female

Actually, I don't have a lot of friends. In school, I usually make friends with people that I've known for two to three months. My friend circle isn't very big, it's just around five or six people. I do have a best friend, actually two best friends. They are incredibly funny, so that's why I enjoy being around them. I think the kind of person I can easily make friends with is someone who is friendly, outgoing, talkative, and smiles a lot. We can just find common ground easily.
