Mondays are not my favourite days, (1) _                                          [and I often arrive in a bad mood, but it has turned out that quantity matt, but I don’t remember their names, that I miss my weak ties]___________, but by the end of the rehearsal, I usually feel energised. The singing does me good. So do the people. There is no choir practice now, and won’t be for a long time. I miss it. In lockdown, I don’t feel short of affection or emotional support, but I do feel short of friendly faces and casual conversations.

But only a minority got their job through a close friend; 84% got their job through another type of relationships – casual contacts (5) ___                                    [whom they saw only occasionally, whom you have never met before, that I miss my weak ties, that for new information and ideas]_________. As researchers pointed out, the people (6) __                                    [whom you spend a lot of time with, whom you have never met before, whom they saw only occasionally, that for new information and ideas]__________ swim in the same pool of information as you do.
