Below is a magazine article on friendship in the modern age. Find the sentences with restrictive relative clauses in the article and fill in the box below. The first one has been done for you.
A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. A real friend is someone whose support we can count on.

We may be able to make many friends online, but these friendships can be quite shallow. Social media like blogs has come between us and the friends whom we love. Texting and messaging cannot take the place of face-to-face chatting.
"Sharing"our experiences on social media is not enough to express the values which matter most to us. "Liking"our friends' photos online does not develop the connection which we share. To make friends a real part of our lives, we should put down our smartphones and meet them in person.
