2. incapable of
5. give and take
3. unselfish
6. loyal to
Task 2 :
Key : B
Task 3 :
Key :
The first quality for true friendship is unselfishness. It
tells us / me that a person who is concerned only with
his own interests and feelings can not be a true friend.
Changeable and uncertain people are incapable of
true friendship because they take up an interest with
enthusiasm, but they are soon tired of, and they feel
the attraction of some new object.
T gives his ideas about Ss’ task/work and corrects
their task/work if they make mistakes and gives
suggested answers if necessary.

summary of the reading passage by filling each
blank with a word or phrase given in the box.
T has Ss read the text again and summarize the
main ideas of the text and then Ss compare their
performance to the summary of the text in the book.
T gives his ideas about Ss’ task/work and corrects
their task/work if they make mistakes and gives
suggested answers if necessary.
T asks Ss to read the summary of the text in the
book and translate it into Vietnamese in front of the
class.
Notes : if the summary of some Student is good, T
should ask that student to read and traslate it into
Vietnamese in front of the class.
The third quality for true friendship is loyalty. It tells
us / me that the two friends must be loyal to each
other, and they must know each other so well that
there can be no suspicions between them.
There must be a mutual trust between friends because
if not, people can not feel safe when telling the other
their most intimate secret.
talkative people can not keep a friend long because
they can not keep a secret, either of their own or of
others’.
The last quality for true friendsahip is sumpathy. It
tells us /me that to be a true friend you must
sumpathize with your friend. Where there is no
mutual sympathy between friends, there is no true
friendship.

*Checking the old lesson
Fill in each blank with missing words or phrases
Everyone has a number of acquaintances, but no one
has many (1), for true friendship is not common, and
there are many people (2) seem to be (3) of it. For a
friendship to be close and lasting, both the friends must
have some very special (4) .
The first quality is (5). A person who is concerned only
(6) his own interests and his feeling can not be a true
friend. Friendship is a two –sided affair ; it lives by
(7) , and no fireindship can last long which all give on
one side and all take on the other.
(8) is the second quality. Some people do not seem to
be constant. They take up an interest with enthusiasm,
but they are soon tired (9) it and feel the attraction of
some new object. Such changeable and (10) people are
incapable of a lifelong friendship.
(11) is the third quality. Two friends must be loyal (12)
each other, and they know each other so (13) that there
can be no suspicions between them. We do not think
much of people who readily believe rumours and (14)
about their friends. Those people who are easily
influenced by (15) can never be goood friends.
(16) is perhaps the fourth quality. There must be
mutual trust between friends, (17) each can feel safe
when telling the other his or her secrects. There are
people who cannot keep a (18) , either of their own or
of others’s. Such people will never keep a friend long.
Lastly there must be a perfect (19) between friends –
sympathy with each other’s aims, likes, joys, sorrows,
pursuits and pleasures. Where such mutual sympathy
does not exist, friendship is (20).

My best friend is Ha. We have been friends for a long

Area in Hanoi. Her family moved to Haiphong in 1985.
it is said that Haiphong people are cold, but Ha is
really, really. I first started to get to know her when I
was going on a two-day trip to Do Son last year and I
didn’t know anybody there. I gave Ha a ring and she
was so friendly, she said, “Oh, I’ll come to visit you.”
So she rode on her motorbike to Do Son and twenty
minutes later she was there. She stayed with me for
two days. She happened to know a lot of people there,
so she introduced me around, and we’ve been best
friends ever since.
Long’s talk
My best friend is Minh. We met in college. I was there
singing and Minh was a guitarist. So we worked
together a lot. Minh has a great sense of humour, he’s
very, very funny, and that’s one of my favourite things
about him. And over the years, we have been through
good times and bad times with each other, and that’s
one of the things I like best about him. And we have a
lot of the same interests. We like to go to the plays and
movies together. But when we’re going through a
