Task 3: Some people are giving their opinions about true friendship, read and answer the
questions below.
True friends are those who care
JANE
without hesitations, who remember
without limitations, who give
without expectations and love even
without communication. Friendship
doesn't need everyday
conversation doesn't always need
togetherness, as long as the
relationship is kept in the heart,
true friends never go apart!
ROSE
A TRUE friend never judges but
tells you the TRUTH.
A true friend expects nothing in

return for their kindness and
offers it not as an attempt to
enlarge their own ego.
The saying is: " A true friend is

one who knows all about you
and still likes you."
I think a friend accepts all
about you, listens, shares, is
there in time of need, tells you
the truth even if at times it
hurts, cries with you, laughs
with you, is caring,
compassionate, respectful,
helps guide you, forgiving...

To me, one of my best friends is Nam. Nam is only over eighteen but he is well developed; so he is
thought to be twenty or more. He has black hair, a broad forehead, a straight nose and bright eyes. He is very
good-looking. He has a kind heart and is easy to get on with everybody. We have been friends for a very long
time. Nam and I are keen on learning. We are the best students in our class. Nam is always at the top. He is
good at every subject, but he never shows pride in his abilities and always tries to learn harder. I like Nam
very much because of his honesty and straight forwardness. He is always ready to help his weak friends in
their study; as a result, lots of friends, thanks to his whole-hearted help, have become good ones.
. In my relation with Nam, I have got precious experience: thirst for learning, patience to overcome
difficulties, helpfulness.

Dear Lan,
Have you ever come to a beautiful beach? Well, I have. Last Summer, I went
on a trip to Nha Trang beach with my family. It took us 4 hours to get there. We
stayed and relaxed in a hotel. In the afternoon, my little brother and went to the
beach with my parents. We swam and played in water with floats. My mother
warned us not to go far away, but I told my brother to swim farther for more fun.
Suddenly a huge wave appeared. As a result, my brother was slipped out of the
float and drifted away. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to swim. I was really
frightened and ran to ask everyone for help. Immediately, my father swam
toward him and brought him to the shore safely. At that time, I felt less worried
when I saw him cry. Looking at the frightened face of my mother, I was really
sorry for what I had done. In fact, this is the most unforgettable experience in
my life.
