4 Unit 01 Old friends and new friends Talking about friends Complete the text with the correct prepositions. When making friends (1) somebody, you should try to find (2) what you have (3) common. For instance, whether you both like online games or not. Another important thing to consider is how you want to keep (4) touch (5) them. It’s important that you take (6) account that people prefer different ways of doing this. Some may want to catch (7) with news posted online, while others may not want to be dependent (8) meeting friends online and prefer hanging (9) with you and others in person. Yet, the most important thing in a friendship is to be there (10) your friends, always standing (11) them if they are in trouble or helping them (12) if they need you for something. Never look (13) on a friend or turn them (14) when they are worried (15) something. Instead, cheer them (16) . Never laugh (17) your friend’s opinion, but respect it and be honest (18) them when giving advice. LANGUAGE 1 Complete this table of words connected with ‘friends’. Use other words from the same word family. Sometimes more than one answer is possible. 2 Noun Verb Adjective friend, friendship — friendly, unfriendly trustworthy — kind supportive Noun Verb Adjective advice, advisor — respectful, respectable truth — please Unit 01 | Old friends and new friends Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv

So many people feel anxious and emotional that it’s not surprising when even good friends sometimes (0) the wrong thing or don’t notice the effect of their words. Friendships change – because you’re all changing. Break-ups and arguments can (1) horribly. So my advice is: focus on the people who make you (2) good and ignore those who upset you. Though who you are is always changing, especially during your teenage years, some aspects of your personality will stay pretty much the same. Figure out what these things are and (3) hard about who you want to be, then present yourself honestly and genuinely (4) the people you spend time with. Be a good friend, but if your friends aren’t always there for you, know that this may be because of a problem they (5) , and that it’s not necessarily because of something you said or did. We all have bad days. If you want to hang out (6) a friend and they’re moody, just ask what’s (7) with them. If they’re not prepared to say, tell them you’re there for them, but you’ll (8) them later. Try to tune in to ‘normal’ bad moods compared to when something really serious is going (9) . If your friend seems troubled and this goes on and on, ask if you can help. If you’re really worried (10) them, talk to a trusted teacher or friend, a school counsellor or one of your parents. It’s tough, but sometimes so-called friends turn on us or just don’t (11) to know us or have us in their lives any more. But remember that this probably has something to do with them, and although it’s hard, (12) not to find it stressful. Every stage of life brings new friendships, and nothing is forever. What hurts today will heal soon. Unit 01 | Old friends and new friends Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv

15 Read the email below and decide which content (bullet) points (a–h) best fit the paragraphs (1–3). READING + WRITING 6 1 2 3 Dear Otis, Guess what! An international company offered 500 euros to sponsor an after-school club at our school. So we had a panel discussion to discuss which club should get the money. There were five representatives on the panel who each argued for a different club. We had to prepare some reasons why our club should get the sponsorship and had five minutes to present our arguments. We also had to think of what counter-arguments the others might use. After presenting our ideas, there was a general discussion followed by questions. You know I love to play board games like chess, so I chose to argue for the Games Club. Around 15 of us meet once a week to play all sorts of games for a couple of hours. We don’t just play board games, we also play online games, and we get tips from each other on how to improve. I argued that the Games Club is important because it’s a really social activity. Everyone mixes well, and when we give each other advice, we all play better. Also, there are inter-school competitions for chess, and we have a really strong team now. If we got the 500 euro, we could buy some great software to improve our skills even more. The panel discussion was challenging, but I had the chance to develop my speaking skills as sometimes I’m shy talking in front of other people. Which club would you have argued for? Bye for now! All the best, Martin Martin Mayrhofer <ma.mh@email.at> Otis Shaw <otis.shaw@whcambridge.uk> Panel discussion From: To: Subject: The panel discussion on after-school clubs was great fun (see coursebook, p. 28).
