sentence which you do not need to use.
A. They spent all their weekends together, and several evenings a week too .
B. There is much less time each day and each week to 'feed' the friendship, to prevent it from
dying.
C. For one production, she and another woman called Carol had to work very closely together
on the script.
D. It's actually very difficult to sustain this number of friends into adulthood.
E. Because of this, I'm now much more careful about the friends I choose.
F. They enjoy each other's company while they're working together, but they don't really
socialize outside of the working environment.
G. Real friends are actually incredibly hard to find.
H. For this way of viewing friendship to be successful, it requires both people in the
relationship to feel the same way about the other person.
A FRIEND IN NEED...
It's fairly easy to define what a relative is. It's a person you're biologically related to, or who
has married someone you are biologically related to, or has been adopted, for example, by
someone you're biologically related to. In short, it's someone in your family. It's not quite
so easy to define what a friend is.
On an obvious level, our friends are people who are not family members whose company we
enjoy. However, what about two people who work closely together in an office? 0. ....F...
Are they friends, or just colleagues? And consider two people who were best friends at
school, but haven't been in contact with each other for over twenty 'years. Are they still
friends? Or should we say they used to be friends but aren't any more?
'So what?', you might say. 'Perhaps friendship is tricky to define, but that doesn't matter. If
you think you're friends with someone then you are, but if you don't then you're not.' In many
cases, that might be a good general rule, but there are potential problems with it. 1. .............
There are countless examples of relationships where that doesn't happen.
Take Jane, for example. She joined an amateur dramatics club, which puts on plays two or
three times a year. 2............... They met several times a week, and frequently called each
other on the phone. As Jane says: 'I enjoyed working with Carol, and we got on well together.

It was really difficult when we'd finished the play, though. Carol still wanted to meet up and
chat regularly. I didn't, mainly because I just didn't have time. I've got a family and a busy
social life, and I wasn't looking for any more close friends. How do you tell someone who
thinks they're your close friend that really they're not?'
A further problem is the issue of 'fair-weather friends'. These are people who you consider to
be your friends, but prove themselves not to be when things get tough. Jake, for example,
thought that Dave was a really close friend. 3......... They both shared an interest in movies,
and had the same sense of humour. 'Everything was great,' says Jake, 'until my mother
became ill. It was a troubling time for me, and I got a bit depressed. I needed Dave to
give me some support, but he wasn't interested. He just disappeared.' What Jake needed, and
what Dave was not, was the kind of friend referred to in the saying 'a friend in need is a
friend indeed'. The idea behind this is that if you are still the friend of someone when they are
'in need', when they need something such as help from you, then you are a real friend. You're
not a 'fair-weather friend'. 4...................... Most adults say that they only have two or three
real friends - people they can totally rely on in difficult times.
At school, children and teenagers often have one or two 'best friends' I but they also have a
wide circle of other friends - twenty or thirty is not uncommon. 5. ...................... The main
reasons for this are time and shared experience. Children see their friends every day (during
Page 2


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn
phí
term time) and have plenty of opportunity to 'feed' the friendship - in class, during the breaks,
after school. Also, of course, all the members of the group live close together, and have a
shared interest (the school and what happens there). With adults, this is rarely possible.
6......................
And, of course, people move apart geographically when they grow up, and lose the sense of a
shared interest when they start working in different fields, or spending their time in different
ways. Very few of our friends from school remain real, close friends twenty years later.

SCHOOL REUNIONS
The idea of school reunions has always been popular in
the United States, where people see their former classmates every
once a year. Apparently, the idea has also caught it on in
England since there are several them announced in the
newspapers every day. From many people's point of view, school
reunions are for those who like to show off or cannot
make their friends easily. When a person leaves
from school, a new chapter in their life is about to
begin. It is much more better to keep a few school friends
that you really like rather than it is to contact
with those that you did not really care about
them. Of course, it is only natural to wonder what
your old schoolmates have achieved and how they have
changed but, in most cases, they are not just the same
as they were at school. They are probably still
tell the same awful jokes and stories. I have not
seen most of my schoolmates again since I was at
school and I do not really want to.

MODEL:
Many young people these days take a year off in between leaving school and starting
university. 'Gap years', as they have come to be known, are seen as a time out from studying
to gain life experience, reassess goals, broaden horizons, travel and perhaps earn some
money. However, is it worth taking a year off or is it a complete waste of time?
There are a number of advantages to taking a gap year. To start with, a break from studying
can give you time to think about your future and make sure you are on the right career path.
Secondly, having new experiences can improve your confidence and broaden your mind. In
addition, any work experience you gain will help your career prospects later and give you the
opportunity to learn new skills. Finally, any money you earn could go towards paying for
your education once you return to studying.
On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages to taking a year off studying. Firstly,
the time away may have distracted you from your studies and you may have problems
applying yourself to your studies on your return to student life. Secondly, delaying

completing your education means that you delay starting your career and therefore delay
earning a living, which may put you at a disadvantage with your peers.
Overall, there are a number of strong points both for and against taking a gap year. However,
I feel that the pros outweigh the cons and as long as you make the most of your time off you
will benefit greatly in terms of experience and skills.

Check the following:
• content - have students answered the question fully?
• organization and cohesion - with the corrections, is their answer easy to read?
• range - have they used a wide range of vocabulary and grammar?
• accuracy - have they checked your spelling?

The bar charts show the responses to a worldwide online questionnaire on how optimistic
people felt in 2005 and what was most important for their happiness.
The most striking feature of the charts is that although the responses were fairly positive,
the results were less so than in 2004.
The first bar chart shows that the majority (nearly 50%) felt the same as the year before,
though there was approximately a 5% drop in confidence. In comparison, only about 35% of
people felt better about the year ahead, (an approximate 10%drop from the year before) while

nearly 20% were more pessimistic, an increment of 5%.
In the second bar chart, by far the most popular answer given was health. About 76% of
respondents said this was necessary for their happiness.

Next in popularity was the need for good family relations. Just over 60% of people specified
this.
People's job are obviously also important for their happiness as job satisfaction and security
received around 40% and 20% of the vote respectively.
Least popular, and both receiving about 15%of the vote, were material possessions and
leisure activities.
In conclusion, it is clear that people do not appear to connect money with happiness.
