Lesson-1

1   Listen to the radio programme about friendship. Make notes on what makes a good friend.

Audioscript

Are you outgoing? Do you have a strong personality? How many friends do you have? Even very shy people usually have at least one good friend. But do you know why you are friends?

Usually, our friends have something in common with us. For example, they are often our age and share our interests. It is uncommon for people to be friends with someone who is very different from them.

Friends are important because they help us in life. Good friends have a sense of humour and are fun to be with. They listen when we need to talk to someone. A good friend is always happy for us. And when we have problems, a good friend tries to help. We can share everything with a good friend. Remember that to keep a good friend, we have to be kind and loyal to them.

So, how good are your friends? And are you a good friend to them?
