M: Granny, we’re just friends, and he’s not my boyfriend.
MG: Well, I’m afraid there’s no real friendship between a boy and a girl . You know, Mai, I’m worried you’ll get involved in a romantic relationship sooner or later.
M: Don’t worry, granny. Nam and my other friends are good students. We just talk about schoolwork and things like that.
MG: I don’t know why boys and girls are allowed to be in the same school nowadays. When I was your age, we went to single-sex school.
M: Didn’t you feel bored?
MG: Of course not. We were like one big family. I had some very close friends.
M: It’s the same in my school. In my class, we’re all good friends and help each other. All my classmates are very kind, caring and sympathetic.
