How do you usually keep in touch with the people you care about?

A natural way to answer

I usually stay in contact through messaging apps and video calls. I try to call my parents at least once a week, and I send voice messages to friends who live far away. It helps us feel close even when we're apart.

Key phrases to use

• keep in touch — to stay in regular contact with someone“We promised to keep in touch after the trip.”
• check in — to contact someone to see how they are“I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing.”
• catch-up — a relaxed conversation to share recent news after time apart“We're long overdue a catch-up.”
