Part 2

Talk about an old person that you know.

You should say:

• What is your relationship like
• Do you see him/her often
• What other think about this person and explain why do you like him/her




1. I have a friend named Steve. He is 72 years old. I met him a few years ago during my summer vacation. We're friends now. I visit him almost every day, we're good friends. he is very popular among other old people. He used to be an acrobat. I like him cause he is very funny and entertaining. I love my friend Steve.


2. I would like to tell you about an old person that I know. His name is John, he's an owner of a small store nearby my home. We have a friendly relationship, I would say. I know John because I visit his shop regularly to buy things when I don't have enough time to go the supermarket. He is nice a person, I always chat with when I'm in his store... Well, I see him quite often, few times a week at least. I think my friend is pretty popular. Most of the locals know him as not only a shopkeep but also a very involved in activities in the community person... Il ike John because he is clever and humorous companion. We get on very well.


3. Actually, I don't have an old friend, so I'll tell you about my classmate. His name is Peter, he is a good friend of mine. We met each other in the high school and are best friends since. His witty sense of humour makes me laugh every time. I see him almost every day in the school, and even if we don't see each other, we can talk for a couple of hours on the phone. We have similar interests and like to spend time with each other. other like Peter too. He is a kind and caring boy and a good friend. He is my best friend.




Part 3

Do you think friendship lost its value nowadays?

1. Yes, definitely. People are not worried about being in touch with their friends at all. And I don't think it is a good trend... Personally, I try to get in touch with my friend as often as possible.
2. Yes. People are not attached to their friends anymore. It is really sad.
3. I don't know... haven't thought about it yet.. Give me more time...



Have you ever lost a friend?

1. Yes, I have. I regret it know.
2. Yes, unfortunately. We were childhood friends, but we lost contact when I moved to another city... Altought I miss him now, I hope he's doing fine now, wherever he is.
3. No. I don't have friends.




What traits are essential for a true friend?

1. If you ask me, a real friend should be very nice.
2. In my opinion, friend should be kind and... Oh, what is that word? When someone thinks about you... Oh, yes, caring!
3. I don't know, it is tough question... I guess, best friend should be helpful and honest.
