How many contractions can you

Today I met my friends. In fact
they’re my best friends. I hadn’t
seen them for a while and we had
lots to catch up on. We’ve been
friends for year. I’ll never forget
the day we all got stuck in a lift.
I’d never been so scared.
Paul, he’s the oldest of us all, got
u out.
Gill, she’s the youngest, said she’d
never go in a lift again. I don’t
blame her because we didn’t think
we were going to get out.
