FRIENDS
People often get to know each other through work or school, and then become friends. A common informal word for friend is mate:

Friendly people get on well with lots of people. They usually find it easy to make friends. If you and a friend are very close, you can chat about anything. Even if you don't see each other very often, you can keep in touch (for example by phone or email). When you meet up/get together again, you can catch up on each other's news.
