Part I Pre-reading Task

Script for the recording:

Just what are friends for? To have fun with, of course, to share in the good times. Yet most

people would say that a real friend is more than just a fair weather friend. A fair weather friend? A fair

weather friend is someone who's happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as

soon as trouble arrives, while a good friend, a true friend, is one who'll stand by you when you find

yourself in difficulties. That's certainly what the American pop singer Dionne Warwick thinks. As

she tells her friend

For good times, an bad times,

I’ 11 be on your side forevermore.

Friends Are For. Appendix I - 95 -
