these questions in at least two different ways. one alternative is to ask the

students to think about three words to describe themselves and then let

each student tell the class the three characteristics they have chosen. a

second alternative would be to ask the students to write down the three

characteristics and let other students guess who is being described. as with the first part, the objective is to elicit student language and get the

students to think about friends and friendship.

step 2. listening

the students will hear friends discuss common problems that may occur in a friendship. the students are asked to identify the problems and

suggest solutions. tell the students that friends sometimes have problems

and that it is important to know how to solve the problems. the students

will hear three arguments between friends and are asked to write down

the problems and suggest possible solutions. it may be necessary to divide

the task into two parts; first the students write down the problems as they

listen to the tape, and then they discuss possible solutions. the students

can also listen to one situation at a time and discuss solutions with the

whole class.

situations/problems involving friends and role-play or discuss the issues.

you may also ask the students to list or discuss what methods are most effective when you want to solve problems in a friendship.

listening

students will hear about problems friends may have and what can be

done to solve such problems. the students are asked to write down the

solutions mentioned on the tape and to think of other solutions. ask the

students to listen to the tape and write down the solutions suggested by

the speaker. you can help the students prepare by first asking them to

think about problems they may have had with their friends. the solutions

mentioned on the tape are simple and general. encourage the students to

think of better, more specific solutions. what would they do if they had a

quarrel with a friend? how do they talk to their friends about difficult

things? how do they keep secrets from becoming rumors?

listening text everybody needs friends. but being a good friend can

sometimes be hard work. learning how to solve problems in a friendship

can make you a better friend and a happier person. a common problem

between friends is that they don’t know how to talk to each other about

difficult things. when they do talk, they often get mad with each other.

what can they do? well, it takes time to learn how to communicate well,

and it is important to understand why a friend gets angry with you. when

you say something. if you know what it is that makes your friend angry,
