False friends are worse than open enemies

To begin with I should say that I completely agree with this proverb because true friends are rare nowadays. Of course there is nothing good in having enemies but it’s a well-known fact that an open enemy is sometimes better than a dozen of false friends. The thing is that you can find out a lot of interesting facts about your personality in order to improve yourself later. An enemy has no interest in lying to you so he can tell the truth about some negative traits of your character or your behavior. But it can be very hurtful if a friend tells you the cruel truth not in private but in public. You feel awful when a friend betrays you or speaks badly about you behind your back. Nothing can be worse when a friend shares your secrets with others or lets you down.

In my opinion a person needs to have only one or two best friends. We need to have someone to tell us about our faults in private, the one with whom it’s interesting to socialize and share our secrets. We need a person who really cares about us, who’ll never betray us. I’m really lucky to have a real friend…..

What questions can you ask a British teenager about his/ her birthday celebration?

- When is your birthday? - Did you have a birthday party last year? - Did you enjoy your party?

- What presents did you get? - Whom did you invite to your birthday party?

- You usually celebrate your birthday at home, don’t you? - Have you ever had a surprise birthday party?

Do you think it’s easy to organize a good party? What mistakes do people sometimes make?

I think that to organize a good birthday party is not easy. First of all you should make or buy invitation card and send them to you guests long before the party. You can’t but agree that the party should be well planned. Choosing a perfect location for the party is another challenging task. It should be reasonable in size. If you are planning an outdoor party weather forecasting becomes a vital factor. If you are going to have a party at home you should decorate the room. The dining-room chairs should be set in such a way that your guests can gossip while eating. The food should be healthy and tasty. The program of the party should include dancing, playing games, singing. Actually you have to do everything possible to make your friends feel comfortable and have fun.
