What makes a good friend, according to the singer? According to the singer, a good friend: * is good and kind; * is always there for you; * seems to understand what is on your mind; * is dependable (someone you can rely on); * helps you get through difficulties and knows what to do; * is loyal and strong when things go wrong. #### 3. Personal Opinion * **a) How important is friendship to you?** Friendship is extremely important to me because it provides emotional support, understanding, and shared joy. Having a true friend makes dealing with difficulties much easier. * **b) Do you think it's better to have a lot of casual friends or a few close friends?** I think it is better to have a few close friends. While casual friends are great for socializing, only close friends offer deep trust, loyalty, and real support in times of trouble. #### 4. Proverbs * **"Friends are flowers in the garden of life."** * **Meaning:** Friends make life brighter, more beautiful, and full of joy, just like flowers adorn a garden. * **Russian equivalent:** *«Без друга на сердце вьюга»* / *«Жизнь без друзей, что дерево без корней»*. * **"A friend in need is a friend indeed."** * **Meaning:** Someone who helps you when you are in a difficult situation is a real and true friend. * **Russian equivalent:** *«Друг познаётся в беде»*. * **"The best mirror is an old friend."** * **Meaning:** An old friend knows you completely, understands who you truly are, and can give you an honest reflection and advice without flattery or deceit. * **Russian equivalent:** *«Старый друг лучше новых двух»* / *«Верный друг — лучшее зеркало»*. * **Personal Example (for "A friend in need is a friend indeed"):** Last year, I fell ill right before the final exams and missed two weeks of school. My friend came over every day to bring me notes and explain difficult math topics. Thanks to his help, I passed all my exams with top marks. That situation proved to me that a friend in need is a friend indeed. --- ### Section 12-2 #### 1. Title and Vocabulary Connection * **Explanation:** The title *"The Greatest Things in Life are Free"* contrasts material wealth (*cash, riches, shopping spree, greed*) with true life values (*health, friends and family*). Although people work hard to *make ends meet* and often *want more* money to *survive*, real happiness cannot be bought. Having loved ones is the only real *wealth you need*. #### 2. According to the singer, what can't we do with money? According to the singer, with money we cannot: * buy love on a shopping spree; * purchase happiness; * find health on a cut-price rail; * replace the real riches of having friends and family. #### 3. Personal Opinion * **Would you be happier if you suddenly became very rich? How would your life change?** Sudden wealth would solve financial worries and allow me to travel or pursue hobbies, but it would not automatically make me happier. Real happiness comes from relationships, health, and a sense of purpose. My lifestyle would change, but the core values in my life would remain the same. #### 4. Proverbs * **"A fool and his money are easily parted."** * **Meaning:** People who lack wisdom or financial sense spend their money quickly and thoughtlessly. * **Russian equivalent:** *«У дурака деньги в кармане не держатся»*. * **"A full cup must be carried steadily."** * **Meaning:** When you achieve great success, wealth, or happiness, you must remain modest, careful, and responsible so as not to lose it. * **Russian equivalent:** *«Счастье требует осторожности»* / *«С богатством приходит ответственность»*. * **"A great fortune in the hands of a fool is a great misfortune."** * **Meaning:** Having a lot of money without wisdom leads to bad decisions, wastefulness, and self-destruction. * **Russian equivalent:** *«Дураку богатство — погибель»*. * **Personal Example (for "A fool and his money are easily parted"):** A few months ago, my classmate won a small cash prize in a school contest. Instead of saving it or buying something useful, he spent it all in one afternoon on useless video game skins. He soon regretted it because he didn't have money left for the books he needed. --- ### Разбор и пояснения к заданиям 1. **Раздел 12-1 (Песня "Together for Ever"):** * **Упр. 1 и 2:** Ответы строятся напрямую на лексике текста песни (*good and kind*, *there for me*, *on my mind*, *depend*, *get through*, *turn to you*, *loyal and strong*). * **Упр. 3:** Развивает навыки монологической речи.
