you may print this sheet and answer the questions. then discuss the answers with your friends.
a true friendship should:
☉encourage you to live your dream.
☉support you toward your goals.
☉sympathize for your losses and help you find a silver lining.
☉build your self-esteem.
if happiness and life-satisfaction are your goals, your friends should be chosen on the basis of how well they can accomplish those four goals.
happiness is a personal choice that comes from within. but, as the friendship poem says, it surely doesn’t hurt to have supportive friendships that help us achieve our goals.

a friendship poem
choose friends wisely, the portrait they paint
is who you are and who you ain’t.
friendship is life’s great support
when friends are of the right sort.
for all your dreams do they make room,
or bring you down with doom and gloom?
you will know a friendship is true.
when it brings out the best in you.
it’s true. you can tell a person by the company she keeps. our friendships not only tell a lot about who we are --- they make us who we are. the friendship poem above says it all. you will know a friendship is true when it brings out the best in you.
take a look at your friends. do they bring out the best in you? that might seem like a silly question. we all tend to think, “of course they bring out the best in me. i wouldn’t be friends with them otherwise.”
section 2: vocabulary teaching strategy
i. the role of vocabulary teaching
in the context of learning english as a foreign language, a learner is forced to be autonomous and independent and make conscious effort to learn vocabulary outside the classroom simply because the exposure to the target language is limited in class. so teachers cannot rely on their students ‘picking up’ lexical items. this makes explicit vocabulary teaching necessary. however, vocabulary is notoriously difficult if not impossible to teach because of the complexity of its linguistic, semantic and psycho-cognitive aspects
