LESSON 5.INTERVIEW ON FRIENDSHIP

Communicative area:describing a friend

Active vocabulary:reasonable, stubborn, total, skinny, outspoken,

outgoing

Revision grammar:complex and compound sentences;

adjectives and adverbs good-well, hard-hardly, etc.

A) Read about friendship and say which of the sayings you like

Best and why.

A real friend is one who walks in when the

rest of the world walks out.

Friends are the most important ingredient in

the recipe of life.

To the world you may be just one person but

to one person you may be the world.

A friend is someone who reaches out for your

hand ... and touches your heart.

True friendship comes when the silence between two

people is comfortable.

Friendship is not something you learn in school,

but if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship,

you really haven’t learned anything.

The language of friendship is not

words but meanings.

Friends are those rare people who ask how you

are and then wait for the answer.

Only your real friends will tell you

when your face is dirty.

Friendship is not a big thing – it’s

a million little things.

The best mirror is an old friend.

A friend is someone who knows all about you,

and still likes you.

B) Which of the sentences above are simple sentences, which

are complex or compound sentences?

2._a) Listen to the interview with Damian − a teenage boy

describing his friend. Why are they good friends?

B) Below are the questions in the order they appear in the

Interview.

1. How do people become friends? 2. What does your friend

look like? 3. What clothes does he wear? 4. What kind of person

is your friend? 5. What are your hobbies? 6. What’s your

friend’s best quality?

Read the answers to the interview and put them in the chronological

Order too.

A. To get an idea of how different we really are you would

have to understand how we think, and act towards other people.

I feel that Paul is more reasonablethan me because I’m

pretty stubborn.Like when one of us has an idea or solution

that might not be so good, Paul’s usually the one who’ll stop

and listen. Not me. With me it’s either my way or no way. And

I never apologise. I mean I can’t. So I think it’s safe to say that

Paul is the reasonable one. It’s his best quality, I think. Regardless

of how different we are, we still always have fun. And

with a friend that’s all that really matters.

B. Sometimes the differences between two people make

them closer. Like take for example my friend Paul and I. We

are two totally different people. Yet we are close friends.

C. Our personalities differ somewhat as well. I’m more loud

and outspoken, more outgoing.Paul’s more of that quiet guy

that everybody wonders about. I’m the kind of person that likes

to start the party. He’s the kind to sit on the side and see what

happens. When we go out, it’s usually me who is the first to

chat up a girl. I keep telling everyone this joke about us: “He

listens hard and I hardly listen.”

D. Our hobbies aren’t even along the same lines. I love cars

and everything about them. I can say I know cars really well.

He’s good at music. He makes music beats and that sort of stuff.

But that’s okay because those are the kind of differences that

make us such good friends.

E. From our appearances we are totalopposites. He has

blond hair and blue eyes. I have brown hair and brown eyes. I’m

6 feet tall and he’s about 5'6''1 and skinny. Once back in high

school we lined up from smallest to largest and we ended up at

opposite ends of the line.

F. The way we dress is very different as well. He’s one of the

funky guys. I don’t mean to say that he dresses really well and I

dress badly. I’m just a little bit of everything. I just wear what

I like. Not what I’m supposed to like. For instance I might buy

something from a store, which he might not even pop into, because

that’s just not his style. Regardless of what they might

have inside.

1 5'6'' – 5 feet 6 inches

_c) Listen and check. Guess the meaning of the words in bold.

d) Look at the photo. Who is Damian? Who is Paul?

3. a) Find the words in bold which mean:

a) very great; b) very thin; c) based on good judgment, fair

and practical; d) doing what they want and refusing to do anything

else; e) expressing strong opinions very directly without

worrying about other people’s feelings; f) friendly and energetic

and finding it easy and enjoyable to be with others.
