Save to Folder
Which is more important in a friend: being funny or being honest? Why?
I think being honest is more important. A funny friend makes you laugh, but an honest friend tells you the truth.
Is it better to have one best friend or a big group of friends? Why?
I think one best friend is better because I can count on him or her. In a big group, it's harder to know everyone well.
Which friend is better to hang out with: a quiet friend or a talkative friend? Why?
I prefer a talkative friend because we never get bored. But a quiet friend is often a very good listener.
Should a good friend always agree with you? Why or why not?
No, a good friend shouldn't always agree with you. Sometimes a friend should tell you kindly that you are wrong.
Which quality is the most important in a friend: kind, loyal or generous? Choose one and explain.
The most important quality is being loyal because a loyal friend sticks up for you. He or she never talks about you behind your back.
Is it better to have friends who are similar to you or different from you? Why?
I think different friends are better. For example, my friend Ece is very calm, and she helps me when I'm nervous.
Do you get on better with your friends from school or your friends from your street? Why?
I get on better with my school friends because I see them every day. We hang out together at break time.
Which is a better friend: someone who is always cheerful or someone who is patient? Explain.
A patient friend is better for me. He or she waits for me and listens when I have a problem.
Your friend tells everyone your secret. Is he or she a good friend? What should you do?
No, a good friend shouldn't tell your secrets. I should talk to him or her and explain that I'm upset.
Two of your friends fall out with each other, and both of them want you on their side. What should you do?
I shouldn't choose a side. I should listen to both of them and help them make up with each other.
A classmate is selfish and never shares anything. Should you still be friends with him? Why or why not?
Maybe, but I should tell him kindly that friends share things. If he doesn't change, I'll hang out with other people.
A new boy in your class is shy and has no friends yet. How can you be a good friend to him?
I can say hello and invite him to hang out with us at break time. A good friend should be friendly to new people.
Your best friend, Selin, got a bad mark in a test and she is sad. What should a good friend do?
A good friend should be kind and say, “Don't worry, you'll do better next time.” I could also help her study for the next test.
Some students laugh at your friend Mert because of his new glasses. What should you do?
I should stick up for Mert and tell them to stop. A loyal friend never stays quiet when this happens.
Your friend always chooses the game, and you never get a turn. Is that fair? What should you say?
No, it isn't fair. I should say, “You chose the game yesterday, so let's play my game today.”
People say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” What does it mean? Give an example.
It means a real friend helps you when you have a problem. For example, my friend Arda carried my bag when I broke my arm.
