Yes, although I don't communicate with most of my friends from high school, I am in touch with a few of them. For example, one of my friends now lives in Italy and is studying engineering. We occasionally chat or have video calls to stay updated on each other's lives. Another friend lives in the same city as me, and she teaches math, for example.

Do you still keep in touch with your friends from high school?

Actually, it’s not like it used to be because most of my friends are studying abroad now and we still chat or read your comments whenever we can, but it’s not the same as seeing them in person. But at least we stay in touch.
