Two examples of their informal talk are:Sam, don’t you remember—we learned about it in class. (Ben wouldn’t say “don’t you remember” to Sam if he didn’t know him well as it is focussing on his lack of knowledge) Oh Sam, it’s going to be funny. (Sally is talking to Sam in a very familiar way when she says “Oh Sam”.)We also know they are good friends because Sam is able to admit to the others that he doesn’t know what haiku is (What’s that?), that haiku sounds too difficult for him to write (Sounds a bit difficult to me), that he doesn’t like the homework (That horrible poetry homework we have to do). If they weren’t good friends he wouldn’t reveal his feelings to that extent.Sam also jokes a lot with the other two which he wouldn’t do if he didn’t know them very well. For example:
Well, I always knew you were crazy!
You can leave me out of it! (请别把我牵连进去。)
…guess what I’m going to do it on?... You!
