What characteristics do the sentences from the text share?(They are very colloquial.)4.Say something about the differences between spoken English and written English.(Most of this text is actually a re-creation of the conversation between a taxi driver and the narrator. Therefore it provides ample examples of how English is spoken in daily life by native speakers.In spoken English sentences tend to be short and simple. Some sentences are incomplete.Besides, some words or phrases do not usually find their way into written English, for example, sort of, kind of, you know, I think, I guess, I take it, well, go ahead, hang out, it’s no fun to do sth., not much of a hand at doing sth., a couple of, every now and then, an awful lot, etc. )After Reading >> Listening ComprehensionDifficult words and phrases:interview, jealous, forgive, fault, mood, an essential part, fulfill, tremendous satisfaction, male and female, spirituallyScript:What does friendship mean to you?Mr. Brooks is being interviewed on the subject of friendship.Mr. Brooks :I consider friendship to be one of the most important things in life. They say “a friend in need isa friend indeed”. That’s partly true. But a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments — without feeling jealous. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for what they are.Reporter:As a married man, do you find your friendships are only with other men?Mr. Brooks :Of course not! Both my wife and I have men and women friends. Although family life is fulfilled, it isn’t enough! Both my wife and I get tremendous satisfaction from our friends, married and single, male and female — and we both have our separate friends too.Reporter:You must have a full life!Mr. Brooks :We certainly do! And as I say, our friends give us a lot of pleasure. After all, friends should not be people with whom you kill time. Real friendship, in my opinion, is a “spiritually developing” experience.After Reading >> Discussion1. The texts in this unit are about friendship. Decide which of the following statements you agree or disagree with.- Real friends are always of the same sex.- Childhood friendship rarely lasts into adulthood.- Time and distance can never alter real friendship.2. Write down two names: a childhood friend you still remember and a close friend now. How similar or different are your relationships with each one?After Reading >> Writing PracticeI. A Brief Introductioni. How to Write Personal Letters?Personal letters, such as letters to your family and friends, are often written more like conversations.You can write a letter to thank someone, share family and school news, pass on interesting information, describe what has been happening, or communicate humorous stories.If you have friends or family who live a distance from you, why not write them a letter to keep in touch? Even if they live close by, a letter is a special way of showing you are thinking about them.You can format a personal letter any way you like, but there are a few important elements that you need to include, such as:- Date — the date you are writing the letter- Greeting — say hello to the person you are writing to- Content — why you are writing, news and information- Closing — the way you end your letter- Signature — sign your name to make it personal and friendly- P.S. — postscript. You can use a P.S. to add something at the end of the letter that you forgot to say earlier. A P.S. always comes at the bottom of the letter, below yoursignature.ii. Ideas for Writing Your Personal Letter- Are you stuck for ideas about what to talk about in a letter? Here are some tips for you.- Talk about family birthdays, special events, trips you’ve been on.- Share funny stories about your pets.- Talk about your new computer game, CD or DVD.- Wish someone a Happy Birthday.- Write some news about school —your teacher, your friend, special visitors and activities.- Write about what’s happening in your city.- Talk about a great book you’ve read, or an exciting film you’ve seen.- Ask questions to find out what they’ve been doing and what interests them.II.
