This is the only person they are interested in and the only person they need. But as we get older, most people realise that it’s actually much healthier to have a small circle of good friends with different personality types. Firstly, a ‘party partner’ is essential. You need at least one wild friend who encourages you to do spontaneous things like go tw a late night party or buy something, really expensive. This kind of friend will put interest back in your life. He or she will make you feel more energetic and relieve a lot of stress. B: Workmate \dly, you also need a ‘workmate’. This friend helps you with your schoolwork or your career. He or she advises you and discusses your progress. If you have a friend like this, you're in luck. This is someone who will help push you, support you and encourage you to do your best. It’s a good idea to find someone who is ata similar life stage or a bit older. But don't choose someone who is too competitive. You need someone self-configlent and generous for this kind of friend. ert ee tt erence 1S For questions 1-9, choose from the people (A-D), following the stages in Exercise 2.
