− express an opposing opinion and give 1–2 reasons for this opposing opinion
− explain why you do not agree with the opposing opinion
− make a conclusion restating your position
Решение:
For most people having friends is one of the greatest values. You can always count on them in difficult situations and have fun together as well. But is it true that finding a friend is easier than saving a relationship with him?
In my opinion, it is definitely harder to keep a friend than finding one. If you want to stay friends with somebody you should always keep in touch with this person. You have to arrange meetings and have phone calls from time to time. Also, you should help your friend in hard times and it also requires time and effort.
Other people, however, think that finding a friend is the most difficult part as it is not easy to meet a person with the same hobbies and interests. They also believe that you do not have to put a lot of effort in order to save your friendship.
I cannot agree with the above opinion as these people fail to understand that you cannot be friends with somebody for a long time if you do not invest time and energy in your relationships. But it is true that finding a person that will match your interests is not an easy task as well.
To sum up, I am convinced that it is harder to keep the friendship than finding a buddy because you always have to be in touch and help in hard times.

Dear Hanif,
Where have you been recently? Have the aliens finally come and taken you away to their planet? Or have you been playing so many computer games that you haven’t had enough time to answer your friends emails?!
It’s too late to send me an email, anyway, cause I’m staying with my uncle and aunt in the country. I’ve been here since Friday, and I’m going to stay until the end of the month. It’s wonderful here! So quiet and peaceful! why don’t you and Neil come down for a weekend? The only thing is there are no computers here! And I can’t even use my mobile! The signal strength is too low. That’s why I’m writing you this letter — I think it’s the first time I’ve written a letter for more than a year!
What was the Critical Age concert like? Did you enjoy if? What a pity I missed it! I’ve been listening to the radio all morning, but they haven’t played ‘So Happy’ yet.
Anyway, I’ve got to stop now. My uncle’s going into town, and he’s going to post this for me.
Write me a letter if you still remember how to use a pen! OK?
I want to hear all your news.
Best wishes,
Daria
Дорогой Ханиф,
Где ты был в последнее время? Пришельцы наконец-то прилетели и доставили тебя на свою планету? Или ты играешь в компьютерные игры так много, что у тебя не было достаточно времени, чтобы ответить на электронные письма твоих друзей?!
Слишком поздно отправлять мне письмо по электронной почте, в любом случае, потому что я остаюсь с моим дядей и тетей в деревне. Я здесь с пятницы, и я собираюсь остаться до конца месяца. Здесь замечательно! Так тихо и спокойно! Почему бы тебе и Нилу не приехать на выходные? Единственное, здесь нет компьютеров! И я не могу даже использовать свой мобильный телефон! Уровень сигнала слишком низкий. Вот почему я пишу тебе это письмо, — я думаю, что это первый раз, когда я написала письмо в течение более года!
Как концерт Критического возраста? Тебе понравилось? Как жаль, что я пропустила его! Я слушаю радио все утро, но они не играли «Так счастлив» пока.
Во всяком случае, я должна остановиться. Мой дядя собирается в город, и он собирается отправить это для меня.
Напиши мне письмо, если ты до сих пор помнишь, как пользоваться ручкой! Хорошо?
Я хочу услышать все твои новости.
С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Дарья

This discussion reminds me that I have not contacted my friends for a long time because of busy schedule these days. I should send some messages or give some calls to them.
I usually send a message with cellphone to my friends to see how it’s going. but sometimes, I give a call to my best friends if have not got any news from them. To be frank, most of us are very busy in our job or study, and some of my friends has been involved in the adminsitration dep. in their companies, so their schedules always are full almost in 7 days a week. But, I really thanks for them because they often remember to give me a message or a call though I am in university and have a little more free schedule. Actually, I often forget to keep in touch with them if I am a little busy. I am really very lucky to have them as my friends!
About QQ, I do use it every day, but most of my friends do not use it often because they are not allowed to use QQ during worktime.
have a great day!

I usually keep in touch with my friends with the use of mobile phones or yahoo messenger. Because we are all busy with our respective lives. We find it hard to see each other. Just like in my case because I have a young daughter whom I need to take with me if I have to go out. And there are lots of resaponsibilities here at home that I could not leave for a long time. (I live in far place)

Hi!
Email and phone are convenient and popular. Nearly every adult has a mobile phone. That’s the most quickly and direct way if friends are in the same area. During the vacation, I’d like to see them in person. Good luck!

Тема ДРУЖБА на английском с переводом. Topic friendship.
Let’s talk about friendship.
Friendship is a special relationship between people. People need this relationship because they expect help and comfort from each other. Those who have friends have less stress and live longer. Friendship is usually based on common interests and mutual understanding, true encouragement and sympathy.
They say “Friendship isn’t a big thing, it’s a million little things” and I agree. To me it means that friendship isn’t always about one big gesture of help. Instead, true friendship is about millions of ongoing little actions you do day in and day out, that show how much you care about and value your friend.
They say: “A person has just one true friend”. I think it’s possible to have more than one true friend. It’s hard to find a person who will share your whole life. People can change and their interests change, that’s why we can have more than one true friend during the life.
Muhammad Ali once said: “If you haven’t learnt the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learnt anything”. Не meant that friendship is in some aspects more important than anything that you learn at school. He meant that nothing that you know matters if you do not understand friendship.
What rolе do friends play in your life? You can have a lot of acquaintances, they come and go, but a true friend is always there when you need a shoulder to cry on. Having a good friend can usually brighten a bad day and make you smile because that is what friends are for. If you feel depressed your friend will hang out with you to amuse you, to cheer you up and have a laugh with you. A good friend will not take offence at you if you disagree with him.
I have no friends among adults apart from my parents. I think that it’s easier to make friends among your peers. My best friend is of the same age with me.
I have a wide circle of friends who are on the same wavelength. I get on well with them because I respect their differences. It is fun to be with them all, but my special friend is _________. I met him/her when I mixed with my friends once after school. We’ve become inseparable since our first meeting. I really like him/her and we get on well. He/she accepts me as I am and doesn’t try to change me.
_________ is tall (well-built, pretty, handsome, plump, good-looking, slim) in his/her teens. _____ has got an oval (round / square) face with shoulder-length (long / short) hair, greenish-blue (hazel / blue / grey / green) eyes and full lips.
_________ is very responsible and decisive. He/she is determined: once he/she decides to do something, nothing can stop him/her. On the other hand, ______ tends to be sometimes bossy and likes telling other people what to do.
________ is an active and energetic person who enjoys cycling and playing sports games. He/she has an outgoing personality and loves meeting new people. He/she is also ambitious and works very hard at school to be successful in future. He/ she is intelligent and understands difficult subjects quickly and easily. On the other hand, he/ she can be sensitive at times and gets upset when something goes wrong.
All in all, ______ is very special to me and I am always there when he / she needs me.
A real friend is always next tо you, you can always count on his support and attention. I can rely on my best friend in everything. _________ helps me to see the truth even if it hurts, he / she keeps my secrets and shares things with me. I know, I can turn to my friend in trouble and he / she will give me a hand when I can’t cope with a problem myself.
People usually become friends when they have much in common, when they have much to tell each other, when they trust each other and rely on each other. So, if you want to get acquainted with someone and understand if this person can become your friend, you may ask the following questions:
What music do you like? / What books do you read? / What TV programs do you prefer?
What’s your hobby?
What personal qualities do you appreciate in people?
If you want to understand if people are close friends, you can ask the same questions and compare the answers. Close friends will have similar answers.
I think it’s a bit easier to make friends when you 6-10 years, because children of this age are more outgoing and sociable. But I guess making friends doesn’t really depend on how old you are. If a person is friendly, it won’t be hard for him to get to know someone.
Making friends is not easy for some people and in some situations. These situations may be different – moving to a new school, moving to a new place, bullying at school, etc. Many teenagers are nervous about starting a conversation, because possible neglecting frightens them. To ease the tension, I’d advise not to be afraid of new people and not to think that all people around you must like you. If they don’t – it’s normal. You are simply different kinds of people. Try to find a group of your kind and make friends with them.
Nowadays teenagers have many virtual friends in contact or Facebook. I can’t name those friends real ones. Friends in social networks can have much in common, but virtual friendship can’t replace real communication when you spend time together.
Nowadays people prefer to have more money than many friends. They say that a person with money can afford everything and can solve any problem. I am sure that money can’t buy you real friends. And there are really such situations when you need friends and their emotional support more than money. That’s why I prefer to have both money and real friends.
Тема Friendship – перевод.
Давайте поговорим о дружбе.
Дружба – это особые отношения между людьми. Людям нужны эти отношения, потому что они нуждаются в помощи и утешении. Те, у кого есть друзья, меньше страдают от стрессов и живут дольше. Дружба обычно строится на основе общих интересов и взаимопонимания, настоящей взаимоподдержки и сочувствии.
Говорят, что “дружба — не в крупном, а в малом” и я согласен. Для меня это значит, что дружба – не один большой жест помощи. Истинная дружба – миллионы маленьких дел и событий, которые происходят изо дня в день и показывают, насколько вы заботитесь о друге и насколько вы его цените.
Говорят, что у человека может быть только один настоящий друг. Я думаю, что вполне возможно иметь более одного друга. Трудно найти человека, который пройдет с тобой бок о бок всю твою жизнь. Люди меняются и их интересы меняются, поэтому мы можем заводить новых друзей в течение жизни.
Мухаммад Али сказал однажды: “Если ты не познал значения дружбы, ты не познал ничего”. Он имел в виду, что дружба в некоторых аспектах даже более важна, чем все, чему нас учат в школе. Он имел в виду, что все наши знания ничего не стоят, если мы не постигли значения дружбы.
Какую роль друзья играют в вашей жизни? Мы можем иметь много знакомых, они приходят и уходят, а настоящий друг всегда рядом, когда нам нужно плечо, чтобы поплакаться. Общение с хорошим другом может скрасить плохой день и заставить нас улыбнуться, — для этого и нужны друзья. Если вы чувствуете себя подавленным – друг побудет с вами, развлечет, поднимет настроение и посмеется с Вами вместе. Хороший друг не обидится на вас, если Вы не согласитесь с ним.
У меня нет друзей среди взрослых, кроме моих родителей. Я думаю, что проще заводить друзей среди своих сверстников. Мой лучший друг одного возраста со мной.
У меня широкий круг друзей, которые со мной на одной волне. Мы хорошо ладим, потому что я уважаю их различия. С ними весело. Мой лучший друг _________. Я встретил его/ее, когда я проводил время с друзьями после школы. Мы стали неразлучны с момента нашей первой встречи. Он / она мне нравится, и мы хорошо ладим. Он / она принимает меня таким как я есть и не пытается изменить меня.
_________ высокий (хорошо сложенный, симпатичный, милый, толстенький, красивый, стройный) подросток. У _____ овальное (круглое / квадратное) лицо, волосы до плеч (длинные / короткие), зеленовато-голубые (карие / голубые / серые / зеленые) глаза и полные губы.
_________ очень ответственный и решительный. Если он/она решает сделать что-то, ничто не может остановить его/ее. С другой стороны, ______ иногда бывает слишком властным и любит говорить другим людям, что делать.
________ активный и энергичный человек, который увлекается велосипедным спортом и спортивными играми. Он/она – яркая личность и любит знакомиться с новыми людьми. Он/она также амбициозен /-на и очень усердно учится в школе, чтобы быть успешным/-ой в будущем. Он/ она умна и справляется со сложными предметами быстро и легко. С другой стороны, он/ она может быть чувствительным/-ой порой и расстраиваться, когда что-то идет не так.
В целом, ______ очень особенный человек для меня и я всегда рядом, когда он / она нуждается во мне.
Настоящий друг всегда рядом с вами, вы всегда можете рассчитывать на его поддержку и внимание. Я могу положиться на своего лучшего друга во всем. _________ помогает мне увидеть истину, даже если она ранит, он / она хранит мои секреты и делится со мной. Я знаю, я могу обратиться к моему другу в беде, и он / она протянет мне руку помощи, когда я не могу справиться с проблемой сам.
Обычно люди становятся друзьями, когда у них есть много общего, когда они могут многое сказать друг другу, когда они доверяют друг другу и полагаются друг на друга. Поэтому, если вы хотите с кем-то познакомиться и понять, может ли этот человек стать вашим другом, вы можете задать следующие вопросы:
Какую музыку ты любишь? / Какие книги ты читаешь? / Какие телепередачи ты предпочитаешь?
Какое твое хобби?
Какие личностные качества ты ценишь в людях?
Если вы хотите понять, являются ли люди близкими друзьями, вы можете задать им аналогичные вопросы и сравнить ответы. У близких друзей ответы будут схожи.
Я думаю, что немного легче подружиться, когда тебе 6-10 лет, ведь в этом возрасте дети более открыты и общительны. Но я думаю, умение заводить друзей, на самом деле, не зависит от того, сколько вам лет. Если человек дружелюбный, для него не сложно познакомиться.
Заводить друзей не просто для некоторых людей и в некоторых ситуациях. Эти ситуации могут быть разными – переезд в новую школу, переезд на новое место, издевательства в школе и др. Многие подростки озабочены тем, как начать разговор, ведь возможное пренебрежение их персоной пугает. Чтобы снять напряженность, я бы посоветовал не бояться новых людей и не думать, что все люди вокруг должны непременно вас полюбить. Если вы кому-то не нравитесь – это нормально. Вы просто разные люди. Попробуйте найти группу по интересам и подружиться.
В настоящее время подростки имеют много виртуальных друзей в вконтакте или Facebook. Я не могу назвать таких друзей настоящими. Друзья в социальных сетях могут иметь много общего, но виртуальная дружба не может заменить реального общения и совместного времяпрепровождения.
В настоящее время люди предпочитают иметь много денег, а не друзей. Говорят, что человек с деньгами может позволить себе все и может решить любую проблему. Я уверен, что за деньги нельзя купить настоящих друзей. И действительно, существуют такие ситуации, когда вам больше нужны друзья и их эмоциональная поддержка, а не деньги. Вот почему я предпочитаю иметь и то и другое)))).
Надеюсь, эта тема Friendship оказалась Вам полезной в подготовке к устному высказыванию или в написании сочинения на тему “Дружба”.

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your letter. It’s great that you have already chosen your future job!
Talking about me — I’m not that sure as you are. I also like foreign languages, different cultures and I enjoy travelling, but I don’t think that translation or being a professor is something for me. I’d like to choose a job which would give me a possibility of traveling, meeting new people, communicate with them on a foreign language, because that’s what I’m interested in and what, I guess I could do successfully.
Anyway, you’ve mentioned travelling. Have you already decided when you are going to have your trip? What countries would you like to visit? Do you want to take your parents with you?
I’ve got to go as my friend is asking me for help.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Kate.
