..

Exercise 1

Discuss the following questions in your group in English:

  • When did you meet your best friend?
  • As you get older, does it become easier or harder to make friends? Why do you think that is the case?

 

Step 2 - Reading

The importance of friendship
You are going to read a text about the importance of friendship.

  • Read the text and do exercise 1.
  • Read the text again and do exercise 2.

The importance of friendship
[1] As we move through life, we find that there are many things out of our control. We can’t choose our parents, our genetics, or control the things that happen in the world around us. One thing that we can control is who our friends are, and this decision can either make our lives so much richer and more beautiful,  1   more stressful and disappointing. Today we’ll focus on how to choose friends who enrich our lives and make them more beautiful.

Why friends are so important
[2] Having solid friendships is important for two main reasons. First, they make life more enjoyable. We get to share the beautiful aspects of life with people who we love, which can enrich our everyday experiences. Second, our friends help us through the difficult times. Having friends to support us through hard times can make unimaginably difficult situations seem more tolerable.
[3] The most beautiful part about pouring our time and energy into friendships is that friends   3   help enrich our lives, but we enrich theirs too! Friendships get us through the tough times in life, make things more fun and enjoyable, and all-around make our lives better. I urge you to take stock of your friendships and ask yourself if your current friends people build you up and support you, or is the friendship more one-sided?

When it's time to move on from a friendship
[4] The second part of the friendship discussion can be a difficult one — reassessing your current friendships and potentially moving on from friends who don’t add value to your life.
[5] Two of my best friends from high school went down different paths from me. We still keep in contact, but I don’t spend too much time with them anymore. The supporting, loving part of our relationship wasn’t there anymore, so it was no longer worth putting energy into maintaining a friendship that had changed so much.
[6] This may be a story you can relate to.   6   is this — friendships take energy, time, and commitment. If you’re putting your time and energy into someone who isn’t enriching your life and giving you the support you need, it might be time to reevaluate that friendship.
