Let’s go on to speak about friendship. Now answer please, do you believe in friendship between boys and girls?

Teacher: Some people say that there is difference between girls’ friendship and boys’ friendship. Now you’ll hear the talk between two teenagers. Try to find out that difference.

– Is there any difference between girls’ friendship and boys’ friendship, Lora?

– Yeah, definitely. I mean, it’s much more important for girls having close friends, who we tell each other everything, you know, our secrets and our feelings. We depend on each other much more. If I am upset, I know, I can get support from my best friend. Well, not, actually, from my best friend, but two or three other good friends, as well. Boys are not just like that. They always talk about things: sports, films, technology, whatever, never their feelings.

– OK, that’s true most of the times. If my girl-friend is giving me a hard time, I keep quiet about it. We may be seemed imperfect, telling friends like: I can’t do with the problems myself. But we can be very good, very close friends. I know some of my friends would, I do know, lend me money or me to fight if I was being attacked.

– Yeah, that’s not really the same, isn’t James? And another thing. Boys don’t stick with their old friends. They are always getting new ones. My two best friends are from primary school, so I’ve known them for 15 years. Haven’t you got a friend from primary school?

– Well, no, I haven’t. The thing is they have changed, I’ve changed. I don’t think, it’s especially good thing to keeping the same friends forever. I just mean, it’s boring

MY FRIENDS. FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is very great thing. An English proverb says: “A good friend is as the sun in winter”. I think it is a good proverb. A real friend makes your life happier and more interesting.

He/she is clear to you and you want your friendship to last for a very long time. You must always think how to keep it, as it difficult to find a new friend.

Friends have the same interests; they understand, help, respect and trust each other.

As for me I have a friend, too… We like to be together. We often listen to music (go to the cinema, walk about the city, play games, read books) together. We have the same hobby and devote all our free time to it. We speak of all sorts of things. We tell each other our secrets and troubles. Together we decide what to do.

It is interesting to discuss our school life, films that we have seen, interesting books, TV programmes, political news, and the results of sport events.

I never quarrel with my friends (if we quarrel we try to make peace as soon as possible). We share the same ideas about sports (music, books, films friendship). But of course there are some issues on which we have different opinions.

What I like in my friend is that she (he) is always willing to help, to share his knowledge (success, feelings). I like that she (he) is very sensitive, she (he) knows a lot, I can rely on her (him) in any situation. I trust her (him) a lot and she (he) never lets me down.

I respect her (him) for her (his) fairness, strong will. She (he) is very kind-hearted, honest, serious, well-bred, modest, and intelligent. It is easy to get along with her (him). She (he) is always full of ideas. She (he) is good at sports, drawing and music. And there is only one thing I don’t like in her (him): she (he) is sometimes hot-tempered.

Friendship helps me to feel strong and self-confident.

HOW TO BE
A GOOD FRIEND 

To have good friends you must be a good friend. Here are some of the ways good friends treat each other:

• Good friends listen to each other.

• Good friends don't put each other down or hurt each other's feelings.

• Good friends try to understand each other's feelings and moods.

• Good friends help each other solve problems.

• Good friends give each other compliments.

• Good friends can disagree without hurting each other.

• Good friends are dependable.

• Good friends respect each other.

• Good friends are trustworthy.

• Good friends give each other room to change.

• Good friends care about each other.

Friendship between man and woman is impossible. Period

Is there is such thing as friendship between a man and a woman? Needless to say, friendships differ. A friendly relationship between men breeds respect, friendship between women can be admired yet friendship between a man and a woman is often viewed with suspicion, mistrust and even enmity. Let us try to look into some of the reasons behind this attitude toward the phenomenon.

First, the concept of “friendship” is interpreted in a completely different way by men and women. The female kind of friendship largely implies a relationship based on trust. It is an open secret that women are inclined to pouring their hearts out to each other, they enjoy giving advice and debate a variety of subjects at length, whereas friendship between men is based on deeds. Men hate being filed under the weak or indecisive. Men would rather do something then talk about it. Did you often see a man speaking to his friend for hours? Or do you know any men who like discussing their upcoming fishing trip?

Friendship between a man and a woman is, without doubt, quite possible. There is nothing we can do about it since this form of a friendly relationship does exist. On the other hand, it is still unclear why some men seek friendship with women who do not belong to their inner circle, whereas women seem quite ready and willing to share views and emotions with their male colleagues and regard them as true friends.

The situation is easier to understand once there is a family sitting in the other cup of a balance.
