IVReading

Pre-reading tasks:
T. We are going to read the text about a British survey on the most important
qualities in a friend. Which opinion is the most similar to your own?
What is a good friend?
We asked a hundred British ten- and eleven- year-olds to tell us what qualities
they thinkare the most important in a friend. Here are the results.
1. loyalty
2. a sense of humour
3. kindness
4. honesty
5. having the same interests
6. being the same age
7. appearance
James Dawson, from Manchester
“Loyalty is very important, but in my opinion a sense of humour is the most
important quality. A good friend can laugh at a joke. My best friend and I have the
same sense of humour. We laugh at the same jokes and cartoons on TV. I don’t
like people who spend lots of money on expensive clothes. That’s a waste of
money. Appearance isn’t very important.”
Mark Conway, from Worthing
 “Having the same interests is the most important thing because then you have
lots to talk about. Also a sense humour is very important. I can share jokes with my
friends. We can share secrets too. I can say things to my best friends and know
they won’t tell anyone else. A loyal friend is a good friend.”
Jessica Crips, from Cardiff
“I changed school last year. But my friend Rachel, from my old school, is still
my best friend. So loyalty is the most important thing for me. I’ve got lots of
friends of different ages, so age isn’t important. And I don’t think appearance is
important either.”
Samantha Cavendish, from Inverness
“I think loyalty is important, but I’m sure kindness is the most important quality.
All my friends are very kind to me. When I broke my leg last month, lots of my
friends came to visit me in hospital. And my best friend lent me all her new CDs.
That was very kind of her. “
