Sample response (Accept all reasonable answers)

The person I made friends with as a grown-up was my colleague, Sarah.

I met Sarah when we both worked at the same office.

We discovered that we both had an interest in painting. We enjoyed painting landscapes

together.

I wanted to make friends with Sarah because I saw that we both had a deep interest in art, and
it would be great to learn and explore this hobby together.

To maintain our friendship, we stayed in touch through regular calls and messages. We
planned to meet up every weekend to visit art museums and paint in beautiful places. It was
about putting in the effort to keep the friendship strong.
