If You Want to Have a Friend…

Let us suppose that everybody here in this group has a good friend. Friendship between two people grows when they do something useful together and when they have the same interests. Their friendship is still better if they understand each other well.

Do you know the English proverb ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed’? Yes, we agree that real friends are always ready to help each other. Let’s also agree that real friendship is possible when people respect and trust each other.

So you can see friendship between two people is a great thing. As English people say, ‘A good friend is like the sun in winter’. It’s a good proverb, isn’t it? A real friend makes your life happier and more interesting. He is dear to you and you want your friendship to last for a very long time.

Well, there are some other English proverbs about friendship and friends. Take, for example, this one, ‘A friend is easier lost than found’. What does it mean? It means that it is difficult to find a good friend. But you can lose a friend quickly if you do something wrong. Always think how to keep friendship.

Questions:

1. When does friendship grow between people?

2. When is real friendship possible?

3. What is real friendship in your opinion?

4. What does the proverb ‘A friend is easier lost than found’ mean?

5. Have you a real friend?

Tell. Ask. Discuss.

Try to use the following:

That’s true. Это верно.

Isn’t it? Не так ли?

I believe so. Думаю, что так.

1. A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody. (to have a lot of friends, to be ready to help, to call on him\her when he\she is ill, to advise what to do, to keep promise, to keep secrets, to decide correctly in difficult situations, to do anything he\she asks me to do if I can do it)

2. When a friend asks, there is no tomorrow.

3. Old friends and old wines are best.
