- British people have a reputation for being rather quiet and reserved. However, a new study has (1) <u>revealed</u> that Britons are actually quite sociable and the (2) <u>average</u> person claims to have 14 close friends. Although a minority of those questioned (3) <u>admitted</u> that they had no best friend, a quarter said that they had more than 18 close friends. Experts said that this is (4) <u>due</u> to changes in the way people (5) <u>spend</u> their free time. They are now more (6) <u>likely</u> to invite friends to their homes or go out socializing than previous generations. The increasing use of mobile phones and emails has also made it easier to (7) <u>keep up with</u> a greater number of friendships. Men's relationships are not (8) <u>deep</u> though they tend to have more friends. Women, (9) <u>on the other hand</u> prefer to have a small number of friends they can trust (10) <u>t</u><u>o</u><u>tally</u>, and with whom they can feel completely at (11) <u>ease</u>. The idea that people in the north of England are more neighborly than those in the south seems to be backed (12) <u>up</u> by the survey. However, despite having friends, it seems that family still (13) <u>plays</u> an important part in most people's lives. When asked who they would (14) <u>turn</u> to for help if they were ill or had a problem, the majority said that they would (15) <u>call</u> upon a relative first rather than a friend.
