II. Сообщение учителя:
"Boys and. girls!

I think that everybody here in this group has a good friend. Friendship between two people grows when they do something useful together and when they have the same in­terests. Their friendship is still better if they understand each other well. Do you remember the English proverb "A friend in need is. a friend indeed"* which you discussed last year? We agreed that you cannot live without friends, that real¹ friends are always ready to help each other. I also believe that real friendship is possible only when people respect and trust each other.

So you can see that friendship between two people is a very great thing. As English people say, "A good friend is as the sun in -winter." A good proverb, isn't it? I am sure that a real friend makes your life happier and more interesting. He is dear to you and you want your friendship to last for a very long time.

Well, I haven't told you all English proverbs about friends and friendship which I know. Take, for example, this one: "A friend is easier⁷ lost than found." What does it mean? It means that it is difficult to find a good friend. You may lose a friend quickly if you do something wrong. Always think how to keep friendship. And there is another thing which is no less important. I must tell you, boys and girls, that if you want to have a friend, you have to be good frierids yourselves. The pupils' collective is strong when its members are good comrades and friends. The slogan of the Collective is: one for all and all for one. Collective activity among the pupils means that everybody has a duty. You should never do anything which is against your collective. Such friendship means that you will criticize your friend if he is wrong and always try to help him if-it is necessary."*

Задание II.

Учащимся предлагается текст для ауди­рования. Вначале учитель делает неболь­шое сообщение:

"Now you will hear (read) a story about a friendship which did not last long. Let us listen to what Raya, a seventh-form pupil, has to say in a letter to her favourite writer.² Then there will be a discussion in which, I hope, everybody will take an active part. Here is Raya's letter". I am very, very sad today. You see, two or three months ago I was introduced to Nina from a parallel form. We became friends very quickly. We went together to the skating-rink and to the library. Sometimes Nina came to my place to do homework. And she was so beautiful, so clever. I thought she was ready to do anything for our friendship. I didn't go to her place, and I cannot explain why. Perhaps because she did not ask me to visit her or because I had no time. Yesterday Nina did not come to school, so I decided to visit her after the sixth lesson. Well, when I entered Nina's flat, I saw that she was not ill. She was having dinner. She did not ask me to take off my coat or to join her at the dinner table. After dinner Nina began to tell me about many expensive things bought by her parents.

Here, at home, she was very different from what she was at school, and I did not want to stay at her place a ay more.

When I was leaving, Nina said, "Don't say: anything at school, please. And come again

when you have time, we'll listen to some music."

Well, 'I have lost a friend and I am not very sorry. But how can I trust people who may have two faces like Nina has? As a member of the school literature circle she spoke about high moral principles and what is right and wrong. But at home she spoke proudly about what her father could buy with his money. I am very sad today.
